Completely Crazy Clothes Challenge 2016

Jeans I always buy Next from chazzers as they fit me really well. But when I splash out on new jeans I always buy Levi demi curve not cheap :eek: But fit me perfectly I tried on so many last year on my major shopping trip (the one that blew the budget) and these were the only ones I liked.

But I think you need to just go to different places and try them as I know loads of people who hate Next jeans but for me they are great

I had a moment of panic as my friend commented on my "very low" budget. However this morning as I put together a nearly new outfit, struggling to find the skirt as my wardrobe was so full, I realised it was fine. Hopefully it will cover some new boots and shoes and a summer top.

Welcome new members - I've added you.

I've taken my skirt back to the CS - along with a big bin liner full of clothes to donate.

Thanks Mav. I might go to a big shopping centre and spend a day trying on jeans :eek::cool:

Yep Thats what I had to do I didnt enjoy it to be honest but just depends on your shape really :rotfl:

The other jeans that were quite good on me were Linea (HOF) but again expensive (the story of my life)

Again it depends if you want skinny,straight, bootleg etc etc.There was loads of skinny around and I can wear almost any make in them (no hips and straight up and down):D But I was after bootleg so was a lot harder.

I also have long legs so loads of the regular are always ankle swingers on me :rotfl:

But after watching that programme on telly about how jeans are made and the factory said there is no difference in quality. They made both Victoria Beckham at £150 a pair :eek: and also I think it was one of the supermarkets cant remember which one.Same denim and the same process the only thing different was the name :mad: It makes you think. My friend swears by Tu jeans at £10 a pair.;) But whatever size I have tried on they are too big on me.

So you pays your money and take your chance :rotfl:

Into town later and I wont be tempted

Evening

Soooooo, today, I saw a pair of Levi Demi Curve on eBay. BNWT for £25.90 inc postage and I found myself buying them in the final 30 seconds of the sale. I will try them on and if they don't fit/suit, I will relist them and buy another pair with the money I earn for them.

I think you are right Mav, I'm not sure I could cope with a day or trying on jeans. I would probably end with loads of things other than jeans

Also, I got £2.66 interest on the £300 savings so my budget is now £302.66. That extra £2.66 might be the difference between busting the budget or not

All this jeans talk reminded me I sorted out a pile before Christmas to list on ebay must do that tomorrow! I'm a lover of TU Jeans or Matalan, I can never find anything else in there that fits me right, dresses too long, tops never fit right, but their jeans are so good
