I'm a freak when it comes to clothes and shoes and cannot wear anything that someone else has had on...it freaks me out to think that someone has tried on something I have lol!
Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.0 -
Charity shops, ebay, my sisters & the occasional item from Primark. I went wild last year & spent £46 on a weird fish top.
Never before & never again will I spend that much.Tallyhoh! Stopped Smoking October 2000. Saved £29382.50 so far!0 -
A mixture of sales, eBay and a bit of full price high street (mainly Wallis/Debenhams) coupled with whatever I can afford when we are away on holiday. There is a chain in Belgium/Netherlands called Cassis, and I love their clothes. Sadly, with the exchange rate, I think I am going to have to save up for a treat (or do a lot of eBaying) if I want to buy anything next time we go away.0

Hi beautiful_ravens,
There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas that may help:
Clothes Old Style
I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions on where to buy clothes the Old Style way together.

Charity shops for me, though I try to buy reasonable makes like M&S etc as the prices have gone up & I'm not paying more for a primark top than I would pay for it new.

I work and have to look reasonably smart some days. I'm also on the, er, plump side. My work clothes are a mixture of M&S and Evans, and for casual I also get some things from Debenhams. The cheaper shops don't do anything in my size (well, except for Bon Marche, and there's nothing there that I like). I do occasionally pick up second hand things on e-bay, such as a boden linen shirt, but haven't ever found anything decent in the local charity shops.Mortgage started on 22.5.09 : £129,600Overpayments to date: £3000June grocery challenge: 400/6000
