The Completely Crazy 2015 Clothes Challenge

Hi Darwinsmum - Yes - I will PM you.

Hi everyone, I've been MIA for a while - I started my new job five weeks ago - and I love it! And I've been wearing all my new clothes. I did buy a sort of 'capsule wardrobe' - so my tops mostly go with all my bottoms, so it's easy to put things together. I have spent another £98 on a dress and a skirt (both of which for work, which fit into my capsule, and both were half price), and a pair of shoes. I am a half size, with fussy feet, so finding shoes is a bit of a nightmare, plus I am on my feet a lot in my job. I will update my signature with my new total.

I have to look very smart for my job, too, moneyonmymind so it would be very easy to just go mad, and spend!

I need more shoes and some spring/summer workwear, but I am not thinking about that just yet!

Thank you so much for your kindness.

I've been a hypnotherapist for 10 years and am happy to answer any questions. The CD with the Paul McKenna book 'I can make you thin' is good - there are lots if things I don't like about Paul McKenna but have to admit he is a good hypnotherapist.

He also did a CD some years ago to help with emotional spending.

A bit off topic, but might help someone.

I caved today and bought a new handbag . It was reduced and was the colour I was looking for but I didn't need it. It has eaten up a third of my yearly budget I could kick myself. £27 spent.

Bought a long waterfall waistcoat off a Ebay but it was a bargain and will pull a few things together in my wardrobe. It's new and from phase eight and was £8 with postage.

I've decided to have a go at using dylon to see if I can colour some jeans. I got them from a cs a while ago and they are a good make but the colouri is soft red. Lovely colour but when I wore them I felt a bit like I was in a marching band so I've ordered dark brown die to make them (hopefully) go with my chocolate brown fitflop boots I had for Christmas. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the offer to answer questions and info about the Emotional Spending CD. That definitely applies to me- only just realised it.
Have a great day

Hi Everyone
I have been clearing out all the clothes I no longer want and now have 4 bin bags full of my and DHs unwanted stuff :eek:Going to sort the bags out and try and sell some of it as a lot new so will do some bundles and stick on FB as collections only Then I will take it off my spends which will please me greatly:)

Rowan Moon I had Pauls Think yourself thin and didn't get on with it at all. But if anyone wants to try it I always see loads in Charity shops for a few £s so dont spend loads on it as thats where mine went

I can now see whats in the wardrobe just about and will get rid of anything now I put on and then think 'I am not wearing that' :rotfl:


I seem to wear gym/running stuff and scruffy around the house stuff more than anything else. So I dont need loads of smart /going out clothes as hardly ever go out anywhere exciting

So a few key pieces on that front I think.

Good luck and keep those eyes shut

My £200 is still intact and I haven't bought anything new since before Christmas:o my wardrobe is overflowing so I keep telling myself I don't need anything new and it's working so far.
