The Completely Crazy 2015 Clothes Challenge

Blackberry leather boots sound gorgeous, enjoy them

Giving myself a gold star for not buying a winter hat in TKMaxx today, yes it was an amazing purple,orange, green and white knit with a warm fleece inside, but it was £9.99.......which would put quite a dent in my £50!

Towards the end of August bought a couple of MUCH needed items for my holiday. Annoyed that I had lost my No Spend Month but went off to warmer, drier climates for 5 days and didn't have suitable attire.
Bought all items in the sale. Total cost £67.00 (should have been over £100 at full price). Used four items more than once!

Something rather nice happened - originally I was supposed to have three items sent to me to review from China, but only two arrived. I emailed the sellers and they invited me to choose some more items from their entire range online, in addition to sending me the missing item. So I have enroute an evening cardigan, a lightweight hoodie type top and a longline waistcoat. The waistcoat is really more of a sleeveless jacket in the way it is cut, not totally sure about it, but I have absolutely nothing like it in my wardrobe and hey, it's free.
Snag: coming from China so could take weeks to arrive!

nothing to report here ...although could have easily brought three pairs of wedges from the CS shop ..but temptation resisted.
Selling a few final bits on fleabay soon

Happy to report a No Spend Month. I did buy a new nightie and dressing gown for half price in the sale but used my gift card to pay for that which was a present. Also bought some new walking trousers at last, these have been on my list to replace for nearly a year. Used last years Christmas money for these and also bought a new walking jacket using money I specifically saved up for it. That's taken all year to get that amount but I did it.

My spends I count are unplanned spends out of my main account not ones I save up for and plan a spend or use a gift card for.

Thanks LilySue & Mav - blackberry leather boots are gorgeous - can't wait to wear them. Only snag is they led me (blaming the boots not my lack of willpower ) to buy a pair of skinny jeans in the CS - Tommy Hilfiger Denim - £4.99. They are a perfect match for each other. But it didn't stop there...... 2 items from the pound rail - lovely purple fat face top & deep pink linen trousers from Monsoon (might end up selling those) ... Not a lot of money spent but I can feel a mild case of the CS bug creeping back in.....:o

The slippery slope was calling yesterday. Tried on a lovely Phase Eight cream long jumper but it had 3/4 length sleeves which I hate :mad: So put it back on the rail and no money spent Was pretty pleased with myself 3 days in
somerandom They do sound like bargains and you really do need something to match your new boots. You will have to try and shut your eyes from now on like I have to

Good luck to all

It's a deal MavvyMoo - eyes closed when near a charity shop from now on.

Unfortunately I made this vow too late to avoid spending another £3.50 this morning (beautiful black silk dress) But from now on - eyes closed definitely :A

A Black Silk dress at £3.50 has to be done even if you have your eyes shut
