The Completely Crazy 2015 Clothes Challenge

Gem-gem

Bought two pairs of tights with my M&S reward vouchers. So still a no spend.

Forgot to mention that my spends also included a new pair of slippers. Again, essential, I was in danger of falling down the stairs in my old pair.

Hello glamorous people

I need to keep selling still have the 50/60 item problem but will look to sort that ASAP ...no more buying for a bit I hope
hope to sell a few posh items on bay of E ...fingers crossed. Which should net me £100

No more spends but I'm here to report that I'm not sure the leggings look is for me. Love the longer length tops but think I may need to wear them over 'normal' trousers or jeans. Will keep experimenting.

Right, I am heading off to the shops today. I have a list and a budget. I WILL stick to both, I will not be tempted into splurging on things I don't need... honest

Well done on the considered purchases :T With leggings I think if you are not used to wearing them you can feel a little exposed If you know what I mean. I think long tops and jeans look good. So keep experimenting at least leggings are comfy for in the house to slob about it I love leggings (but I do have chicken legs as my son always says ) So I always wear them with long boots and that works for me.

I have NOT dipped in to my budget for a while and feeling really good about it. Have a bit of extra money saved with not spending so will bank what I have over next week

Good luck to everyone

Well done Mav on not spending at the moment. I am keeping the leggings to wear under 'over trousers' for dog walking. I will say they are comfortable but you're right, I do feel exposed - rather large lower leg area!

What about jegging as a middle ground? Comfy fit of leggings without feeling quite so exposed?

Just popping in to say I've managed to avoid spending on clothes since last post - I also appear to be able to go into charity shops without buying and have, of late, even walked past charity shops :-O !!! Literally didn't think it was possible....

I've also been making an effort to wear a variety of clothes. I was wearing the same old same old over & over & there were lots of nice clothes just hanging there in my wardrobe - I've enjoyed it and it's given me the feeling of having new clothes... :-)
