Not buying any clothes 2017
Comments
-
a massive bag of worn out and extra clothes OUT to the clothing bank along with 2 gillets. at least I can now mix and match outfits without being overwhelmed with clothes0

Have 2 pairs of trousers ruined by bleach dripping on them from underneath a washing up bowl (thanks o/h!). But still haven't succumbed to buying new.0

DS1 & I belong to a club & they are having a charity jumble on Easter Monday. DS1 has suggested that we also offer clean usable clothing & anything unsold will go to our local hospice. I've bitten the bullet & so far have a Wallis coat, 2 x ladies 3 piece suits and four tops. I'm going to take the opportunity to run through my wardrobe and co-ordinate into a better order and anything that I havn't worn or 'not quite right' will go!! I feel somewhat more virtuous now as my 'outs' are more than my 'ins'
Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0 -
Still nothing bought here. However, I've been off work for nearly a month with this hideous virus, not gone anywhere apart from the doctors so I've not been anywhere to buy anything. X0

I bought some shoes today in the end, because my other ones fell apart after getting very wet the other day. My total spend this year so far is now £9.50, I'm hoping that will be the last thing for quite a while now.0

The end of February - no clothes bought. In fact I haven't even stepped inside a clothes shop (apart from M&S, where I went to look at their £1 birthday cards but didn't buy any of those either!)Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0
