Clothes: not too bad

**ZenTherapy** · 06-28-2009, 01:40 PM

What I purchased from January:

trousers (sale)
flats (Yoox)
bra (eBay)
sun hat
Nike sport trousers (sale)

Not so bad! I can't believe how much stuff I used to buy not so long ago! Lots of impulse buyings and I was never satisfied - and now I am.

That's great! I have been really bad about buying whatever strikes my fancy lately. Not good for the budget.

Good job on becoming more aware of your buying habits! I think I might have to challenge myself for the summer. I definitely have enough tanks and shorts to not buy anything else!

That's a great small list. DH's is similarly short: 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants. Mine: nothing yet. I blame it more on laziness than anything else.

What a great list!

That's a great list! I went shopping at the thrift store this spring and spent $24 on clothes. I've lost 11 lbs. since then and things don't fit anymore. it's a nice problem to have. But I'm going to either have to start sewing or visit the thrift store again before fall.

My list:
2 camis
4 pairs lacy undies - torture to wear as they don't stay put
2 suits in smaller size to round out my incentive collection (lite - convertable to summer wear by altering sleeves)

Thanks, people!

Unfortunately here thrifty stores almost don't exist. I'd love to find some real bargains.

Wow, good job buying so little

**Debbie-cat** · 06-29-2009, 12:31 PM

Great job!

~Great job on buying so little!
I'm having an expensive year since I'm finally allowing myself to replace all my post maternity clothes.

clearance dress
3 antique store purses
5 pairs yard sale gloves

online sale 20 pairs undies
online sale 3 bras

This thread really reminds me how much I need to draft an accurate list of what we all have and what I'm allowed to shop for.~

What part of the EU are you in? In the eastern half, DH says they were there but maybe not western Europe.

**ZenTherapy** · 06-30-2009, 01:18 PM

Italy, therefore Western.

**strezzed** · 06-30-2009, 06:15 PM

Ah, understood. DH's brother spent some time there a few years ago. Beautiful!

I will be making my "must have" list soon, for getting ready to go back to work in Sept. when school starts. I make my list every year. I go through my closet and dresser and make sure everything is stain free and still fits then I get rid of the too worn out stuff and replace, bras, panties, knee-his, white tank top, dress pants, etc. I usually start school in capris because of the heat, which I am now watching the sales for these things.
I won't get any more new things unless the sale is rock bottom, or for Christmas, whichever comes first.
