gave in and bought a new swimming cozzie - but I reckon transparent lycra is not a good look! I think that one goes under the heading of duty to one's fellow citizens

Never even thought about buying anything so far. I got loads of socks for my birthday, that'll keep me going for a bit!

Hi!
It's amazing how it doesn't take much to make one much more mindful about clothes buying. And it feels so much calmer, doesn't it?

No money spend on clothes this month. Stayed away from clothes shops just to be sure!

For any one who is interested Tonights channel 4 Dispatches is on the true cost of cheap supermarket clothes.

No clothes bought in January - and my other half only bought himself a pair of slippers - think I am leading by example, if I want to avoid the shops it means he doesn't go - more money saved!!!

Last clothes I bought was a top to go with my existing outfir for my DGS wedding at Christmas , I have several vouchers for M&S at Christmas but as I rarely go anywhere near one I shall save them until something in needed had lots of keks and soxks given as pressies at Christmas and my wardrobe is pretty full so I really can't see me buying much for the foreseeable

I've done a survey of my wardrobe etc, and I really don't need anything. I always try to keep garments going for as long as I can, so if I sign on to not buying any new ones I shouldn't have any trouble in keeping it up all year - I've got plenty. I know some of my favourites date back well over ten years.
I find you can get away with quite old clothes at smart events as long as you give a bit of thought to how you put your colours together, and wear scarves and things to add a little bit of distraction.
So, here goes - no new clothes until at least next January!
