Style Challenge - How am I doing?

Do you remember I stupidly said I would not buy anything for 6 months? This is PURELY down to financial reasons. The truth is I have most things, however, I was VERY NEARLY turned this week when I ordered 8 pairs of Clarks shoes for a style project. I could have seriously kept 2 pairs (more on the metalic brogues and skater shoes another day).

So what have I HONESTLY bought this month?

What have I stolen from the shop? Well ... IT IS DIFFERENT TO BUYING .. it is it it is!

 Funky Belt - £8

 Slouchy Top - £12

And apart from that I have bought and stolen nothing else and I have worn something different for 30 days - THAT's how you can make your wardrobe work for you if you want to. I could and I will carry on with as many different outfits as I can - some a variation on a theme but lots of new ideas (for me) to wear over the next 30 days. Having Avenue 57 is helping because I still get inspired by the ladies posting over there.

 I'm actually a bit jealous of all the lovely things I see that others are buying but the HMRC wouldn't be happy if I spent all the money owed to them!

    Your doing better than I would, think I would have weakened with the skater shoes.

      It has taken all my strength not to keep these two items - in fact, I'm still struggling. They are all still here and I've yet to return a single pair - HELP!

    I think you're doing brilliantly Fiona and I bet you could create most outfits from your vast wardrobe anyway so whats the point of buying more 'stuff'. I'm truly impressed at your sheer determination xx

    I don't know how you resisted either of the 2 pair of those shoes! They are both gorgeous!! Wouldn't they let you keep at least one pair??!! You are doing brilliantly though Fiona at not purchasing! Well done you! xx

    You have a will of IRON. But I'm scared of tax men so that would probably jolt me out of shopping mode pretty quickly! p x

    I adore the belt - I may have to place an order - they are so perfect with shorts! xx
