The Completely Crazy 2014 Clothes Challenge

fedupandskint

Some shoes bought for work out of my expenses pay. Good job too as they were £65 in lovely soft leather.

Don't count as a spend thankfully as I used expenses!

Just this week to go before we moved into the 6th month of the challenge, how quick time flies by?

*hayley*

Finally checking in... April was a no spend month for me but I have splurged a bit this month buying various basic tops and jumpers. So this month I have spent £217.87. Sounds rather a lot but I shouldn't need to spend anything else now this year. Off to update my total in my signature.

Well as previously reported May was a spendy month for me. I went shopping last night and bought a shirt and shoes for DH which doesn't count for this challenge. Still it was really good to go shopping.

I have won a £100 M&S gift card so guess what I will be buying?! And it won't count as having come out of this challenge. Yes, I know I am a cheat....

Hi folks,


Spends to declare!! However am glad to say its underwear and socks!! So this year I've spent £51 on M n S underwear, £10 on a dress in a vintage fair (unworn as yet!!) and £9 on T K Maxxxxxx socks.


Not bad....that dress is bugging me though. Mental note to Skinty self...stay away from temptation!

Morning all

No spends since I last checked in - even though I have browsed shops and CS, I haven't needed to buy anything.

I was at the theatre last night and was going on to a footy club presentation after so wore the dress I bought a couple of years back for my DD1 graduation - its a summer 50's style dress, sleeveless, with abstract big bold red poppies on a white background with smudges of black and gray - its was a last minute "omg what do i wear?" kinda moment and am so glad I did .

Had some really lovely compliments from complete strangers,took me aback really.:o

And the best thing was it was from M&t&l&n and I think cost about £20ish
- have worn it now for 2 weddings,parties,graduations,theatre and presentation do's - funny how one dress can just fit all sorts of events:)

And its not even totally black!

Catch you all later keep up the good work

debbiedeejay - i've bought a £16 work dress from matalan and had so many compliments.

No casual clothes spend from me (although i've made some exempt work purchase). I even have a £15 n3xt gift card i'm struggling to part with!

£31 spend for May, which was my birthday month.
I succumbed to a long tunic-style top for summer at Bon Marche for £11. Originally £22, it was reduced to £16 online, and I used a £5 birthday voucher from Bon Marche to bring it down to £11.

Along with the holiday top of £9, came a new nightdress and cycling jacket from Aldi, £6 and £5 (reduced from £20) respectively.

Aldi clothes are always good quality, though can be on the small side sometimes.
That's it for the summer, hopefully, and thanks to gift vouchers I have two good coats.

#59 mothernerd declaring another no spend month.
Did look at sale clothes in Tessimos but they had nothing remotely my size - loads of 8s and a few 10s.

Also saw an absolutely basic black stretch jersey dress - perfect for funerals, my most frequent social outing (just getting to that age I suppose). Real old-fashioned jersey too (holds you in, rather than the modern display and cling to every tiny imperfection -okay I have lots of them). A whole rack £4 each. But I didn't have £4 and I haven't had enough spare cash or the mobility to go back - only went through as it was the shortest path between the 2 places I needed to visit to get the essentials on my list (had vouchers to use).
