I ordered a top that I've been coveting from Forever21 which arrived today - not sure I'm 100% sure about it. £16 (was supposed to get 14% off but it didn't come off - grumble) There's also another one I ordered at the same time that i prefer in some ways but is quite similar so I need to decide between them.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

Still nothing else bought since last update feeling a little bit better about not buying wanted stuff. Have asked family to get the next size up in clothes for monster at Easter instead of Easter eggs as I don't feel that much chocolate is good for a young child and it would be a more thoughtful gesture to give her a t-shirt she can at least get a few months use out of than 5 mins of chocolate gooeyness. I expect one relative will buy the biggest chocolate egg to spite me regardless but that's her problem.
Going to have a sort through my wardrobe today and try and thin out the scrappy clothes that need to be donated to the rag man:pDesperately Determined to Destroy the Debts one at a time.. and Seriously Save for the Spectacular future.:p0 -

Hello everyone
Not much to report here. I've bought two bras from Sainsburys as recommended by you, £4.50 each! And a pinafore dress which I know I will wear every weekend for the rest of this year, £11.25. So that's £20.25 spent BUT I have been ebay selling my clothes and have made £346 with three bids at another £55 finishing this Saturday.
As a consequence I am not feeling too guilty. Three items in that will be regularly worn, and a few out that I don't fit in/want to wear anyway.
Also have been sewing a little, nothing finished yet but a dress on it's way (no cost as already had all the supplies).
Going to have a clear out of things that aren't worth ebaying as well at the weekend, and take them to the charity shop. I'd really like to not feel overwhelmed by uninspiring clothes any more. I'd like to get to a sensible, maintainable weight, and then have fewer but maybe nicer things that I really really like.
Happy Thursday everyone!Fashion on the Ration 2020 - 5/66 spent0 -

Well done vintagegal, that's great selling
I need a new pair of leggings, the ones I had on yesterday are splitting on the seam so I chucked them in the bin last night rather than the washing basket.
Just found two pairs of tall leggings for £18, so I have ordered them. I will adjust my signature.

SPC 13 #7 - £4829.85
SPC 17 #7 - £7313.630 -
I bought a new top and a necklace for £14 together. I adjusted my signature accordingly...
I did not spent much during February because of long hours at work and the same is expected in March. This triggers sth in me to do more shopping, although I don't really need anything. The reason why I joined this challenge was to motivate myself to do more in terms of "experiences" rather than clothes/shoe shopping. However my workload does not leave me with much free time even during the weekend...1 more month to go..

Oh dear - I am over budget to tune of £6 already this year! I used some Next vouchers from last year and bought a shirt, the vouchers covered all but £6 of it. I try and console myself that a) I have worn it every weekend since I got it 3 weeks ago and b) my budget was set in the event that I needed a maternity budget (other than that, my budget is £0). I've no need for the maternity budget as it stands
- but if I do need it said shirt is loose fitting and I could wear it open fronted... nope, that's cheating! So, £6 over budget for 2017 for me
