What I've been wearing

I do love to look back at what I've worn - I'm not VAIN (really I'm not) but it helps me work out what to wear the week after as I don't like to repeat too many looks. The good think about Avenue 57 is you can look back on all your looks in one place and instantly get inspiration from the looks you loved but you forgot about.

 Still not spent a penny and it's going ok I think. Yes I want the metalic brogues from Clarks, yes I want the skater shoes from Clarks but do I NEED them? No. Actually they have 20% off selected sandals if anyone is interested?

 A simple pictorial list here of what I've worn over the past few days. I don't think I've repeated any looks over the past 6 weeks - good hey?!

 A day in the office
Shirt - H&M
Tshirt - H&M

School run and day in the office again

Toes on the mend but still can only wear flat shoes. Thank goodness the weather is set to turn so I am not missing out on heels!

    I reckon you could do 365 days of different looks Fiona. You really suit a looser trouser xx

      I think the key to the looser bottom half is a tighter top half? It's weird wearing baggy jeans!
      I reckon I could do 365 too! That's scary

    It's VERY hard but then again it's not! I second question every time I look online for things and I do keep looking! I'm pleased I don't live near a good local town full of shops or that I work in a town with clothes shops - it helps!
    Yes the scarf is from the shop - I have an offer on at the moment - £10 for the scarf and this includes first class post - details on the FB page - https://www.facebook.com/avenue57popupshop

    I can't believe you are so good not buying anything but I understand about the tax man. I get antsy if I've not had a delivery each week ... even if I don't keep everything. I like you in the pink jumper and the bootleg jeans - really suits you.

      I hate the tax man but he is owed so I must pay! Fortunately only once a year. Not sure how I'll do once he's been paid and I do have excess money to spend!

    Loving the wider jeans on you ... it makes your legs look even longer, if that's possible!! You must have a ridiculous amount of clothes (hope your hubby isn't reading this!!) I couldn't wear something different every day for six weeks - but then I have a serious declutter habit!

      I don't get rid of anything ever - I am so bad! I have around 3 double wardrobes so it's quite a lot I guess?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just read your last reply to comment.......yep 3 double wardrobes is a lot!! Mind you I probably have the same but it just doesn't look so bad as some is in boxes under the bed and some is in suitcases in the attic.....hidden from view basically!! I'm with everyone on the slouchier jeans too, they look amazing on you xx

    First of all, I seriously admire your control with purchases, I mean seriously! Secondly, you have really perfected you camera shots, smiling, happy & relaxed, great pictures of your fab clothes. X

      I can be very stubborn when I want to be! I have to - it's just something I HAVE to do for tax man and now starting to see how long I can go .... !

    Love the idea of a 365 day challenge - That would be amazing.
    You're doing ever so well not to cave. After all there is soooo much temptation out there...
    Love the grey top, with scarf outfit btw.

      Hey Paul, I actually think I might unofficially just see how far I can go ... I started around the beginning of April and I haven't 'dressed' every day so let's say for now I've done 30 days! Oh dear God the thought of 335 more is nearly actually killing me! Ssshh don't tell anyone I thought I should give it a go!

    So relieved to read that your toe is on the mend!

    That's good going Fiona with your spending ban and you have still looked fabulous. Love your Avenue 57 scarf in your last photo - gorgeous colours x
