Those leggings are amazing. And available on amazon. Which I have vouchers for ... so technically I wouldn't be spending any of my clothes budget on them. The Alice in Wonderland ones are really tempting me. I wonder if I could wear them to ballet and hence count them as "useful"?

Are they the ones with the pink Cheshire cat you like? I looked at those too I didn't look on Amazon - darn didn't even think to, I got them from Sammydress.com - they also have 10% off for Chinese New Year atm. I have no idea what the quality or size will be like but I thought it was worth a punt. Mav knows that I have developed a bit of a sportswear habit over the past year or so :o

I have also looked at those leggings :rotfl:They are on Eb*y as well. I am just not sure of the quality but as you say for that money its worth a punt
I wouldnt want to make them for £ 7 :eek: let alone post them from China.
The reviews on these are very mixed but think you need to go a size up with most stuff from that part of the World.

I also love buying my gym stuff but I do have so much:o so going to stick with what I have and maybe buy another Tikiboo pair (or 2) later in the year

I am shopping in my own wardrobe and trying to wear things I never wear much or have never worn .But why do we stick to the old favorites all the time ? You know the ones wear and the minute they are washed and dry they are back on you :rotfl:and you are thinking how did that happen.I have a Black planet stretchy Top and I seem to wear it at least 4 times a week :rotfl:

Good luck to all

Well done everyone for getting through January without spending/low spends. I haven't bought anything and am very pleased. I don't plan to buy anything in February either. Staying away from the shops is the easiest way for me.

HOW the ruddy heck do you manage it Mav I struggle with the few things I list

Ches

How many items would you say is roughly ok for a winter wardrobe. I have 37 items not counting undies/shoes. Is this excessive?

The art of it is dont buy things you like buy things that sell :rotfl:I do a bit of research as to what is selling well and then if I see it I buy it and normally stick it straight on E*ay.
These were shoes that I wouldnt have been seen dead in paid a fiver for them put them up as a buy it now for £40 and they sold within 3 hours so most likely I sold them too cheap
and looking at the person who brought them I would say they are going to be sold on again So fair play to her.

I have 2 other pairs still listed different makes and these were brought with my heart not my head so they are still not sold But I reckon they will and then I will almost have my £100 to bank for my no spend month this month :rotfl:(thinking ahead)

I'm in again


Running shoes (if the ones I have become unfit for use - quite probable given I've just started training for a half marathon in October)

Congrats on a half marathon, my distance is 10 yards for the bus! :j
Anyway, wanted to ask what size running shoes do you wear?

Hi, please count me in on this challenge, think I need to do it because I'm losing weight with slimming world, I've already dropped a size so I know I'm going to be replacing my wardrobe (hopefully repeatedly) so I need all the help I can get to reign in my shopaholic tendencies.
