The Completely Crazy 2015 Clothes Challenge

Well done on the sales Mav that's great news. I have some bits of mine I must get on fleabay sooner rather than later. Been staying out the shops of late so doing ok with the spends. I did buy a dress for £85 for a wedding next year (sale down from£215!) but unluckily / luckily it doesn't really fit that well across the hips. I have decided after trying it on once and not being 100% sure that for that money, if I didn't love it when I first tried it on, then I'm not keeping it. :A

I dont blame you kerri its got to be perfect to keep for that money even though it was a bargain:)

A couple of spends for me
2 x white stuff 3/4 coloured jeans £2 a pair (these are new) Put away for next year
1 x lovely Red winter wool skirt which fits a treat by kaliko £2 I love this skirt its just so me

So another £6 to add but still got all my sales to come off total not done it yet as more listed yesterday.

Well done Mavvy!
I have just put in my latest free clothes order - two items, first is a dark blue and white polka dot fishtail raincoat. It's very thin, so really for spring and summer IF IT FITS lol.

If not DGD will probably have a raincoat to add to the brown pleather blouson jacket and blue hoodie long sleeved t shirt she took on Sunday.

The other item is a pair of exercise jogging style pants, I really hope these fit as I have a similar pair bought from the X Catalogue shop that I adore, they are brilliant for cycling in. Now to wait for them to arrive... two to three weeks usually.

Another seller has sent me a code for some items, but the code has yet to work. Will post when and if it does.

Oh, and men's socks. Ladies' socks are usually too small for me, (broad plates, size seven and a half) so I have some trainer liner type socks coming tomorrow from a third seller. They will be too lightweight and short for outside at this time of year but fine for in the house.

Mavvy what an amazing profit on the boots - well done. :T Kerri good call on the dress

Feedback on the boots she was thrilled with them Mind you so would I have been had they fitted me

No other spends yet Also have taken 4 pairs of boots to a dress agency I know the lady who runs it and knew she would want them. So we will see if they sell. If not I will get them back and stick them on the B*y. She did have a really nice pair of J*nes Suede boots in there.But I was good and left them there for someone else

Will list another few bits this weekend have got a fair bit of money in PP but need to buy some bedding so have made an offer on some this morning so will most likely spend a bit

So far on The Bay I have made £351 after fees etc I have just brought some new bedding that I needed as I was fed up with my old stuff so I have recycled it

So will take it off my spends and will be back under budget.


Have got my eye on another lovely pair of boots I know I dont need them. I am trying to resist so will have to keep my eyes very tightly shut

Wow Mavvy you are doing well on Fleabay, makes me think I should give it another go.

I have been updating my wardrobe with some gray and burgundy for Autumn. I bought some Sandwich dark charcoal trousers for £10 and a lovely grey While stuff shoulder bag for £21 off Ebay, a new Burgundy Laura Ashley scarf, small burgundy leather shoulder bag and pale grey waterfall cardi all for £15 from cs. I think that will give some of my existing clothes a bit of an autumn feel. I just need a burgundy top to add in and it starting to feel like a mini capsule wardrobe :j

Rowan Moon I am also going down the Grey route Your buys sound lovely I mix my Greys with orange and Red as I am a bit of a sucker for those colours I am staying away from Black and using Grey instead I could do with a nice pair of Grey trousers will have to keep an eye out for some.


No spends yet ! Boots are still on the Bay and I am soooo tempted.I am hoping they sell and take the temptation away (they are on a BIN with offers)

As of today I am the proud owner of a new (very highly visible) waterproof jacket, but it didn't cost me a penny so doesn't count as a purchase for this challenge :T

My boyfriend insisted on paying for it as an early birthday present..... very early, as not for another 13 weeks and 6 days But it's a 'biggy' and there's nothing I really "want" and he didn't have a clue as to what to get, so he reckons this solves his headaches whilst also relieving me of some problems trying to balance my bank accounts

Had to get one meant for a bloke though, as the female ones are all 'tailored' and either swamped my top part or fit too snuggly round the hips The male versions are 'a lot straighter' (to quote the sales chap), so if it fitted up top it was going to fit my hips as well !!

I've ordered my latest batch of three goodies and they are officially on the way.
They are a dark grey sweater dress that I will wear as a long top, a light grey lightweight fleece (you're not the only ones going grey, Rowan and Mavvy ) and an olive green V necked sweater dress to wear as a long top.
Now the lonngggggggg wait until they arrive. The socks that came were great, really pleased with those. Just a little thin, but lovely and comfy!
