Thanks for the new thread happy - can't seem to tag you for some reason. Love today's outfit 👌

@happytobemrsg thank you! I love your Gucci belt by the way, I’ve seen you wear it both casual and formal/dressy and it really works!

Hi, can I join? I've recently left work , have ( a wardrobe of lovely things and need to make sure that I continue to wear them and not collapse into the easy option every day. Here's what I wore yesterday ( because today it will be scruffies as I need to clear out some room in the loft!

It was Toast jumper, Hush Skirt and boots from Celt and co.

What is shopping your wardrobe? I get that it might involve not buying more stuff and trying new combos, but what else is involved?

I want to join.
In the new year I plan to stop buying and continue selling on eBay

Wool dress- Oasis
Wool cardigan- Uniqlo
Both charity shop
Cashmere tights- wolford
Black boots-old

Hello everyone. Welcome @myidentitymycrisis.

Here is my outfit from last night’s Christmas party. It’s not very good as the light in my house is awful.

Sparkly green fine knit jumper (Oasis)
Velvet leggings (Mint Velvet)
Boots (Phase Eight)

So far I’m the only one in the office. Presumably some slightly hungover people will be in later...

I think I have those boots @Laska2Meryls - I love them. welcome to the thread!

Today I’m wearing serious heels in the office for the first time since I sprained my ankle in July. I have my annual appraisal today. I’m taller than my (male) boss in these heels. This wasn’t a deliberate choice, although I do sometimes wonder about my subconscious....

Jumper: Warehouse
Culottes: Phase Eight
Boots: Moda in Pelle

(With apologies for the toilets in the background - the work looks are the only place with a full-length mirror and decent lighting).

Thanks for the new thread @happytobemrsg
You look very smart.

@Laska2Meryls welcome. Like you I joined this thread as I transitioned to working from home a lot & needed motivation to wear “proper” clothes and not lapse into scruffy clothes each day.

@Splodgetastic yes shopping your wardrobe means forming outfits from what you have rather than spending more on new stuff. Some people on this thread (not everyone) are trying to do no spend on clothes. Some of us have lists of “permitted items” eg. I am allowed to replace things that are beyond repair and I’m allowed to buy new stuff if I sell old stuff to raise the cash.

Welcome @myidentitymycrisis

@Oubliette nice leggings hope the party was fun

Welcome new people, ( waves to @Laska2Meryls) it's lovely to see new faces and I was new not so long ago.

So I'm on no spend but just been gasping at the new jeans my dog walker has on from M&S at £19.99 she has them in all the colours! Similarly I shocked her with my sale bargains.

Love the outfits @happy, @OublietteBravoand @Laska2Meryls . @happytobemrsg
@Splodgetastic I think several of us felt guilty we were buying so much when we already have some lovely clothes in our wardrobes so vowed no spend for a period ( I'm meant to be until end of March unless I need new underwear) and to look closely at what we had to make new and interesting outfits. It's challenge but @Ellapaella did a no spend September which impressed me for one and one of my resolutions is not to buy 'cheap' stuff on a whim but to invest in quality stuff which would be more lasting

My outfit is
Top: hush AW 2019
Jeans: Boden velvet I think AW 2017
Trainers : jigsaw 2018

Day out at a National Trust place today with DC.

Jumper - Whistles
Shirt - Cloth & Stone via TK Maxx
Jeans - Topshop
Boots - TU

Welcome to all the newbies! Waves

@PinkDaydreams I’m so lucky to have two Gucci belts - a thin & wider version. They only became a staple after I learnt I was an hourglass- before that I had never worn a belt with trousers/jeans!

@OublietteBravo I love your killer heels!! How did your appraisal go? Now I’m a contractor I don’t get 1-2-1s anymore.

Love, love, love your outfit @Kiteflyingkat

My no spend has been made easier by the fact that my credit card data may have been compromised whilst shopping during Black Friday so I had to cancel my card 😩

Luckily my new black OB cardigan & Hush t-shirt (arriving tomorrow 😬) were bought before I had to chop up my card!!!

Oh no sorry to hear about the card @mrsg. Good for no spend though

It’s lucky I’ve already bought my Christmas presents!

@OublietteBravo I love the flared trousers.
@KiteflyingKat your outfit looks super cosy and chic.
I'm not posting a pic today as my day has been dog walking and cleaning the house so tracksuit bottoms, old hoodie and no makeup at all.
I got these yesterday though from Hush and love them.

The perfect chunky shoes for an hourglass @Ellapaella 👍🏻

I don’t buy lots of new stuff but I find it hard to resist a charity shop, and still feel guilty about adding to my wardrobe from them.

Me too! And the charity shops around here are so good I can actually spend serious money - I’ve spent £100 in one go before. So my “no spend” includes charity shops.

Thanks @happytobemrsg

I haven’t ordered the cardigan as for my eye on a warehouse one. It’s a little bit cheaper!

Still looking for boots but I may as well wait for the sales

Charity shops here are rubbish. I have no idea what to wear on Christmas Day. Jumpers are out. Need to be something light or layered. X
