Still nothing bought this year and that includes DH and the kids too. I find the best way is not to look - it makes it all very easy.

So true, I'm a big online shopper and Instagram is often my downfall! I should probably unfollow all my favourites.
Or make a pledge to only buy in shops, that would cut me down because it's not as tempting to me.

went shopping at the weekend and got a new gym top £12 and some black jeans from ebay £8 for work. was so tempted to buy more gym stuff but stopped myself.

Well done to everyone with no spends so far, and it sounds like the rest of you have only had small spends or still spending Christmas vouchers so :T:T:T

I'm still on no spends but not for want of trying :rotfl: I keep looking but so far not loving anything.
I'm really fed up with the clothes I'm wearing for work and feel like I have about 7 outfits that I rotate. I had a huge clear out this time last year and when I started stocking up again I was buying spring and summer clothes. Also I must confess that I have some things I either can't fit into or they show off my muffin top too much

I always seem to have more clothes for the spring and summer than for winter. anyone else have that problem?

Sorry for being so late I would like to put a zero budget on clothes, I really do have a lot of clothes and more than enough of each thing if something wears out.

I'm fed up with my clothes too. I wear the same old things to work and it's really boring. Maybe I'll spend some of my budget on a couple of new tops and see how I get on. I haven't seen anything that I particularly like though. I'll sell the stuff that bores me.

I wear the same things in the autumn and winter as I do in the summer really, with the addition of a cardi. I look like a tramp all year < that's probably a bit harsh, but I'm in a bad mood today!!

What to do??

I think we all wear the same old things time after time :rotfl:I know I do
I have also been having a look around Rowan Moon and have found nothing I have loved either so it must be the time of the year.

I have had a brainwave I am going to change my target from 5 months no spending To 25 weeks :rotfl:Is that cheating ? I dont think so it just seems easier to me even if its the same time (ish)

As now as I know I have blown this month its like oh well I can buy now as it doesnt matter so if I just blow a week. I can still get 3 weeks of not spending in that Month :rotfl:

So going to change my sig now

I have been through my clothes today and I feel a little bit embarrassed I have 34 T shirts, 16 pairs of jeans, 22 Jumpers, 12 coats, 67 pairs of socks that's pretty much all I wear for work and casual as I'm a courier and just wear casual, My birthday is in April so just some new underwear will be asked for for that. I really do need a year of no clothes buying lol

I'm sure it was Gok / Trinny & Susannah or one of that 'how to transform your wardrobe' lot said we tend to wear something like 10% of our wardrobe 90% of the time.

I am probably guilty of the same thing, plus my work environment has changed in the past year so I don't need to wear some of what I used to - but might in the future so am hanging onto it.

I think we're back in that in-betweeny season stage, no one want to shop for winter / Xmas sales are done but it's not quite time to shop for spring yet so we end up with weird mid-season collections. Except in Primarni who already have their summer bikinis and sandals out :eek:

No spends here but basically because I haven't been shopping, don't have room really for more clothes, don't have the money and can't really be bothered. Still...it means I'm not spending so that's a positive

mavvymoo

I think you are right kerri with the 90% thing we all do it I think to some degree.

I also cant be bothered to shop for clothes either which is a first for me Everything is so dull and boring at the moment.

Had a quick look at my Spring and Summer clothes (the ones that are not packed away And I have plenty as I did get a few new bits in the sale at the end of Summer last year. So will see what I have but looking at the lot I can see I think I have more than enough

I have lost a few lbs again so everything fits ok just need to keep it that way Until I get a chance to wear it :rotfl:


So nothing spent and not planning to go anywhere over the weekend to be tempted but who knows :rotfl:
