Yippee! Declaring my first month of the year as no spend, not going near clothes shops tomorrow.

Also declaring a no spend. I won't be going on any clothes websites tomorrow either.

Hello,

Last day of the month and not going anywhere near any shops so a no spend month for me and budget still in tact;)

Popped into the only chazza shop in the village yesterday, and it was so busy with folk looking for a bargain!:)
Nothing for me. I didn't even get a sniff of anything for myself.
So, I haven't spent a penny on clothes this month, but tomorrow's a new month!:D

Declaring January's total as £8 / 20

Getting my PJs and replacement ankle boots tomorrow: feb's budget is now £32

I've ended the month with the following additions to my wardrobe

5 Polo Shirts
1 Storm Jacket
1 pair Storm Trousers
1 Cagoule
1 Fleece Jacket
1 Baseball Cap
1 Woolly Hat

and I'm still waiting on the arrival of 2 pairs of Cargo Pants

But none of them count for this challenge, as it's all work issued uniform :T


Outside of that lot the closest I came to temptation was a pair of Merino base layer trousers in A!di today. Decided I've coped so far with the two pairs I've found in the house (sure I have a third somewhere), and assuming my work contract gets renewed in May and again in November I could well be a smaller size by next winter - so came to the conclusion it was better to wait until then to splash out on any more if (and only if) they're needed

Woo Checking in to declare NOTHING spent on clothes

Going to stick a few bits on the Bay next week and will stick that in the bank along with my £100 for not spending this month

As I am going for 5 months this year with no spending I am pleased to say only 4 more to go

Declaring a no spend January here. I'm staying away from shops but doing a lot of browsing on line and pondering what I really need to plug wardrobe gaps.
I am being sorely tempted by the idea of hiring a personal stylist to go shopping with me at some point as I really don't seem to have much of a clue when it comes to clothes. I've found someone who is really reasonably priced but it feels very extrvagant to be considering it.

I hired a stylist to ( wardrobe weed ) She went though all my clothes every single one and helped me fill the gaps and go shopping with me It was worth every penny in my book.;) Saved me a lot of money in the long run as I very rarely make mistakes now with what I buy.

So I would say save up and go for it

Thanks, Mavvymoo. I feel I waste a lot of money by panic buying in shops. I think I really need someone to be objective about what suits me and give me some guidelines. I'd love to have a stylish capsule wardrobe but I'm not sure I'll ever be that person- think I'm one of nature's scruffs .
