Oh dear tessie bear, I'm going to have to go and count my coats now aren't I?? :rotfl:
Update: OMG :eek: Coat Count x 27, (I'm really shocked!), and that is after taking 4 winter coats to a chazza last week, and its not counting fleeces and waterproof walking jackets.VfM4meplse wrote: »I always thought expenditure on new coats to be justified.

The spring ones barely get an outing as its easier to sling a shawl on.
Actually, VfM4meplse, thinking about it I tend to have two favourites coats for winter, (one Lands End, down 3/4 coat and a smarter M & S padded jacket) both purchased in sales. In spring and autumn it tends to be either a fleece or my Hobbs trench coat, both chazza purchases. Summer tends to be wraps/shawls/scarves.0 -

Eek! I will stay away from the KonMari thread today.:o:o:o
I went to the £1 charity shop and bought 11 new items today and then I bought 6 more items from another charity shop.
I was reading about how to match your clothes and create outfits on blogs yesterday and I got a little carried away.:rotfl:
1 scarf
3 jumpers
2 dresses
1 skirt
3 blouses
1 jacket
4 cardigans
2 long sleeved tops
£31 spent in all. I probably won't need to buy any more clothes for 2018!0 -
