The Completely Crazy 2014 Clothes Challenge

black_cat

First spends this weekend. I bought a cream 3/4 sleeved T shirt from a charity shop (£2.95) and a pair of black jeans from Asda (£12). I also bought a cute little purple floral rucksack in a sale (£4.99). Pleased to say that all were needed and weren't impulse buys. This challenge is keeping me in check - keep posting!

Total £19.94 / £300

Hi All,

NO SPENDS IN MARCH!!!!!!

Really chuffed with myself!!

Have got so many birthdays between now and June (inc special ages eg mate's 40th, both mum and dad turning 70) so I hope shopping for gifts will satisfy shopping urges!

No further spends to declare

so I'm currently on:
January - NSM
February - NSM
March - £133 on bras

Pretty pleased with that.

Ali-OK

No further spends here either, still not sorted DS's trousers for school, so that will come in April now.

Apologies Yorkielass for stealing your format, but I like it!

Jan - NSM
Feb - £12
Mar - NSM (other than £10 from birthday money and not counted)

Well done to everyone - just being conscious of what we spend and giving careful consideration is making a difference.

Here's to April :beer:

Hi All,
Yes, I have done it! No spend for March.
I am so proud of myself.
Originally I set my target for next month (April) at £50.00
But I am going to try and bring this down to £40.00.
Risky time will be Easter holiday when I will go and spend a few days with my aunt and then a few days with my Mum. I also have a day in Birmingham later on in the month.

No spends to report but I have two tops for my spring wardrobe courtesy of DD for Mother's Day.

I was given a brand new pair of trousers today - a black fine ribbed bootleg pair with an elasticated waist. A friend had bought them and thought she would shorten them but it never happened. My legs are longer than hers...

I always feel like I am coming in here to confess! Not quite sure where to start. Have made a few purchases in the past couple of weeks. Struggled to resist some of the spring / summer things in my local charity shop.

Picked up a lovely laura ashley crisp white shirt with little blue anchors on it for £3.49, some RI denim shorts for my holidays for £3.99, some white RI cropped jeans for £3.99, an asos jersey black floral above the knee flippy dress for £4.99, tunic top by john rocha for £3.50 which is a little big but will make the perfect beach cover up and a green chunky per una cardigan for £3.50 (technically I don't "need" another cardigan but I adored the colour). Just realised that totals £23.50 give or take a few pence. So, my plans for a no spend March did not quite work out. Have updated sig accordingly.

On top of that I have spent £35 in next on a dress needed for a family funeral next week. I did not have anything appropriate at all and in fairness its a classic smart pencil dress that will no doubt last for years. I am not counting that in my total as it has come out of our joint account.

I need to have a good clear out of my summer wardobe this month as quite a lot of things I have not worn for years / doesn't fit anymore or is worn out and bobbly! I would love to get my wardrobe organised into "outfits" that are quickly visible rather than being 70% full of stuff I don't wear.
