The Completely Crazy 2015 Clothes Challenge

Morning all Bad news I found a pair of New Vitti Love Brown leather ankle boots in the Sally Army for £8. I looked at these last year in a posh shop and couldnt bring myself to spend £155 on them :eek: The quality of these are amazing and they are lovely so came home to check them on Ebay and what do you know a pair of long riding style in Navy Blue and Brown had just been put on a BIN for £21 :eek: So I also snapped them up what an absolute bargain

Good news have been listing on the Bay and have already made £125 I will not total it up until its all gone but pleased with that as its only been up 3 days on BIN listings

I agree Rowan a very low budget for you but you have also sold loads so it may balance out really ;)At least this challenge has made us all think about spending even if it hasnt stopped us.

cw18 Well done to you thats amazing :eek: Get your waterproof you deserve it

I guess you'd probably want something shorter for running , but this coat has been fantastic for walking and cycling for me.

Not a brand I've heard of before either. The starting price is within budget (the one possible I've seen so far is £60, but if I can find one with a slightly higher waterproof rating without going up too much in price I'm likely to pay a bit more), but I'm not a fan of longer length coats even for walking. I also need to be able to put it into a backpack easily on days I don't need to wear it (or if I'm running, as I tend to prefer getting wet to wearing a waterproof that causes me to sweat - I can shower, dry off and change as soon as I get home), and the extra length is likely to add to bulk.

Thanks for the recommendation though

Mavvy, thank you, just spotted your post. I'm glad you liked my reviews. When the next lot of clothes arrives I will be reviewing those and will post the links here. They are enroute from China, hopefully the parcel(s) will be here soon.

mcculloch29 Yes I do enjoy them. and to get the items free to review even better

Doing well on the Bay about £150 worth of stuff gone but wont take it off until fees etc have gone. But it will almost bring me back to target Which always pleases me;) and will have a poke around and see if anything else can get listed. I do still have so much stuff even though tons of it have been kondoed or sold

My free clothes to review arrived from China, as before they were smaller than expected. I will give the bomber jacket to my grand-daughter, I think she will wear it. I hope so. The dress, supposedly 22, is a 16, so fits me.

Zip up slim fit hoodie jacket https://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R188NXWRI26Z7E/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

I love the slim fit hoodie jacket, but no way was XXL a 22, it wasn't even an 18.

Morning all. Bought a pair of jeans and a dress in CS yesterday. Total £8.44 - I'm over budget anyway. The dress is comfy and will look great with tights and a cardi in the winter and the jeans (oh joy at last) are a perfect fit.

Morning all good news
The boots I brought last week for £12 have just sold for £135

Think that is me back off the naughty step once I add all the sales up and pay it in the bank taking off my purchases

I will have to start looking for another bargain
