Completely Crazy Clothes Challenge 2016

Debtfreedolly

Just reporting no clothes spending at all in February working tomorrow so no danger of being tempted to buy anything. For March I MUST buy a pair of trainers as I have none and need some flat shoes for driving lessons. Other than that I plan to not buy anything else clothes wise. Hoping to continue using up toiletries too and don't think I will need to buy any more... Will do my best to stick to it anyway...

2 pair of Primark jeggings for me today £13. I'm struggling with a nickel allergy at the min so need a break from wearing jeans & belts.

£42.60/£300.

No good for zips but have you tried painting nickel buttons with clear nail varnish? That sometimes helps.


Reporting in .. nothing spent in February :j

My lovely sister bought me a M&S jumper.....Thanks sis!
I have £2 left over from this month and £10 from last month to carry over to March. So my March budget will be £22 :T
This month I have only been browsing clothes shops once. I'm hoping to have the same success in the coming months. That's my plan anyway.

I found that when I thought I needed something new to wear, I would browse my own clothes and find something I had either forgotten I'd had or hadn't worn for a while and jazzed it up with a scarf or statement jewellery.:)

Good luck with your budget for next month!:j

A final February splurge of £16.70 😔
I bought a top and a Cardi/ top combo so I should be ok for a while on the top front.
Total spends of £52.68/£300

Bought myself a leather belt yesterday - reduced in A1di from £4.99 to £2.50.

I originally got my works trousers in a size 12 - did up fine and could sit down in them, but they were too tight around the thighs to allow me to crouch down which I need to be able to do as many houses still have a letterbox at the bottom of their door!

So I had to swap my trousers for a 14, which were slightly loose around the waist when I got them. After just a few weeks I'm having to hitch them up whilst out and about. As such I considered a belt an essential purchase.....

I only own a couple of belts (very, very rare for me to use one), and neither was suitable for use with my uniform. So I consider this purchase to be within my challenge allowables.

I ordered a jumper for OH this weekend in the sale - does that count? He's taken to wearing his jumpers to work and doesn't really have enough. Reduced from £45 to £27 - hope it's nice.

Hi Kerry I think you can do whatever's best for you, I don't include my family's things but I know others do, so I think it's up to you, whatever works.

I have spent £60 on new tops for work, my old ones were starting to look tatty. First spend on clothes of 2016 and I'm that used to not spending on clothes now that I did feel a tad guilty (this is something I could get over very quickly though:o)

I'm pleased to report that I didn't spend a single penny on clothes for me in February!
I've also just started on slimming world and hoping to lose a few lb so this will open up a whole new wardrobe for me that I've not been able to get into for a while!
