The Completely Crazy 2015 Clothes Challenge

Jazee

Morning all. I shall be spending on clothing today as I'm going into York. I have plans to buy more socks, hosiery, and having still not found the perfect pair of jeans in over a year, I'm going for a change of style and will take a look at leggings/shorter dress combos.

I so need this! Setting myself a target of £100 for the rest of the year, and also a target of getting rid of at least 5 items of clothing every month (although this May have to be averaged out if I go on a bit of a cull every few months).

The first spend for me today on a jacket for work and possible interviews reduced to £9.99 from £35 in a lovely dark plum colour, will do well as an extra comfy layer as it is unlined, a bit smarter than a cadigan but feels like one!

I'm away now for a few days and will update at some point next week or weekend.

Feel free to join in!

I am currently reading about capsule wardrobes, this would be my ideal.
I am going to post a few things on my local FB page and see how itbgoes.
I am off to a Swish next week and have found 10 items to take.
I spent £1.50 on a shawl yesterday, I feel like a clothing junkie!
Well done to everyone sticking to their budgets/selling.
Keep up the good work

I have opted to include handbags & shoes in my budget. I have so many and don't need any more.
Do you tend to buy lots of handbags? Do you actually need a new one? Have you "shopped" your current handbag collection? I.e re-discovered a previously neglected bag.

I haven't bought a bag since 2005, it was a hobo bag which cost £65 and I used it every day till it finally got thrown out at the end of Dec 2014. It looked like it had had almost ten years of continuous use too!

So I do need one. I actually don't like having more than one bag, because I am too busy generally to even think about having to transfer contents from one to another. So since 2005 I have just had one and I found it keeps life simple. For now I am managing with an old tote shopper thing. But I don't mind because I know I'll find my next 'forever' bag soon!

Morning all. Another £12 spent on more socks yesterday but I have enough now. A disappointing shop with regard to buying leggings etc but I was with DH so always feel limited looking round too many shops with him in case he gets bored, so I think I need a girly day out with DD.

With regards to handbags, I have lots all in different colours and all on display in my bedroom. Each contains all the basics I need to carry, tissues, emery board blah blah blah, so the only thing I need to transfer over is my purse. I have three of those, but that's another story!

No spends for me so far this month. I think I'm going to save up for another pair of jeans next month. I wear them so often I think I can spend a bit more on them. I'm considering a departure from skinnies but not sure if a different style will suit. Suspect there will be a bit of trying on required.

I know what you mean about shopping with your OH - I never really feel that I can happily mooch (or spend quite as long as I'd like in Primarni :rotfl:)

i keep wondering if I need new jeans, I actually have 5 pairs from the same brand, 2 of them are super skinny and 3 skinny (although one doesn't get worn that much as they are 'fashionably' ripped - actually I should wear them more with tights under). I got them all on various visits to the US, but they do have a 70% off sale atm...and I wear them every week.

I just realised that I haven't bought any clothes for a month. This includes Charity Shops !!

Still no spends at all so far this year so my £200 budget is still intact:)
