How much do you spend on clothes monthly ?
I spend approx £100 a month.
i never buy high price items but rarely shop at low end shops. Mostly High street shops.
I feel like this is indulgent. I’m trying to cut it back as I could be saving the money.
i don’t go into any debt as better off than I’ve ever been. But I guess the money could go on other things.
I used to hardly spend anything and this is my indulgence. I wonder if that plays a part now as I could never afford it.
My only other treats are odd meals out and occasional social events.
Interested to see what you ladies spend and also if not clothes any indulgences ?

I went through my emails and totted up what I spent on clothes and shoes last year and I spent 284 and I reckon I spent about 40 in stores at best. So less than 350 last year. Like I say though I get a lot from my mum and I don’t count vouchers I used which was 150 in total from my birthday last year

Items my mum gave me last year were
10+ pairs of underwear (never used obviously) as she bought sets of 3 or 5 that she found uncomfortable
A black shirt dress that was slightly too small in her
A pair of addidas gazelles that she found uncomfortable
3 sports bras that were too tight and she had bought in the sale so couldn’t return.
A jumper she just didn’t want anymore.
A top she said looked better on me when I borrowed it so she told me to keep it 🤣

items that I bought using vouchers
black skinny jeans
a handmade knitted wool cardigan (it’s a gorgeous piece)

I love her she’s bloody great 😆

I limit myself to £40 per month from Vinted
Doesn't sound much but everything I'm wearing today Jeans, top over shirt and trainers was £20!
I only buy underwear new now.

Just looked back at my reply on this thread (£100-£200 a mth) and realised I was kidding myself! I probably spend double that!

I'm not a person who has an unofficial uniform though, so I don't live in leggings and sweatshirts or just dresses. I tend to wear abit of everything.
But I'm now 2 yrs post extreme weight loss so I've nearly replaced my wardrobe....it's just i keep finding new things i love! (Latest obsession is jumpsuits, thank god for Vinted!).😁
