Farewell, oh lovely ones (and the rest of you!)

[GarlicGrace]

I've been scared to update my budget workbook. Have finally done it (after buying a too-good-to-miss coat I don't need) and I've overshot my annual clothing budget by 200% already.

I've loved all the chat, ideas and irrational FOMO feelings, but THIS MUST STOP NOW! No more clotheses until 2025. I'll miss you but you're dangerous!

Hiding S&B in 3, 2, 1 ...

Oh come on, you’ve got to show us why you’ve bought !

The coat? https://fennwrightmanson.com/products/paulette-coat?variant=28464162701401

I'd forgotten FWM went bust 😢 Used to buy a lot from there, when I was better off.

That’s lovely ! Well worth bursting the budget !

Thank you for the dangerous encouragement, Dusty 😅 See, that's what I meant!

Fabulous colour. It's been nice chatting with you.

It's only £50. Bargain!!! You've just saved yourself £250!!!

<looks around>

not my natural habitat....

£50 that's a bargain & a great colour. Sadly they don't cater to short fatties😫

That's lovely and a real bargain!! Any ideas from anyone about how you could wear it? I don't love it with black trousers like in the picture. What else could you combine it with?

Lovely coat, I've noticed your posts and you have a great eye.

Sorry you're leaving. Do you know about the 'no spend / low spend' thread or does it need to be a clean break?

@GarlicGrace , don't go. Sell all your mistakes and you'll be back in budget. That's what I do.

Meh you've done 200% what's 300%?! Stop around.

You could just read stay and read threads where you won't be tempted.

I enjoy reading trainers, jeans, designer bags and Toast threads to see what other posters are up to safely knowing I won't be tempted.

Was your budget realistic for your income and your style? Some women would say that spending over £200 on clothes in a year is too much whereas others would struggle to stick to £2000 - how did you work it out?

Well, did you get the coat?
Epic discounts, I guess they are clearing out the stock.
