I've admired PP from the side for a couple years, but was always scared off by the colour and the boldness of pattern. It is actually DH who convinced me that I needed something like this in my wardrobe (he is my enabler!).

I wore the Prada dress a couple times last year, but I know it is something I will be able to continue to wear. Yes, it will be dated, but it is such a happy dress that I'll happily wear it, despite not being in fashion anymore. Can't wait for the warm weather to look for another occasion to wear it.

What did you get from NAP and Matches, novice?

Mom that dress is amazing. I love PP prints, although the colours are never right for me.

The PP dress is amazing Monimatrix and will look fantastic on you. Your dh is a good enabler!

I love thinking about a design for ages then finally getting something. Saloni, Derek Lam and have seen a few Prabal Gurung things float by on pin. One day.

Quick January Round up from me:
ASOS burgundy leather jacket £120 but £100 of that was money given to me for xmas.
Boden charcoal jumper ordered but sent back as ugly 'marl' colour and tight.
Black spot dress from Next £40
£60 for January brings me in under budget!!

I've decided to have no spend months every other month, am hoping this will begin to naturally curb my spending habits!!!

Oh Christ, I thought I was doing quite well but it's more than doubled since I last posted on this thread. I have done loads of ebaying though

Some of my purchases are for summer, so I'm not sure they really count until August Grin

My £70 per month budget has failed in February after a good January.
This month:
Boden spotty shirt £33
Boden button back jumper £50
Topshop burgundy spotty dress £38
M&S Limited collection linen T £20
M&S Limited collection vest £7.50
Clarks shoe boots £50

yikes! In fairness I am selling some old stuff on ebay and as it stands, look to make at least £100 so that will reduce the over spend a little.

Did any of you keep track for the whole year? I am thinking of doing it this year, just out of interest.
