This time last year I bought a pair of denim shorts that I later returned, a pair of sunglasses that broke just last week after lots of wear, a secondhand Topshop dress that I've sadly accepted just isn't my colour, and a basic black tee which I wear a lot, giving a total of £33.98. Could I beat that total this May? With a grand total of one clothing purchase, yes I could.
The Sue Ryder shop in Leicester is a great source of vintage goodies and I've picked up some brilliant retro fabric here over the years. It's rare, though, that I find clothes that fit me so I was excited to spot this button front midi skirt. I've already worn it a lot - with my denim jacket, tights and clumpy shoes when it was chillier, and with bare legs, sandals and a black t-shirt now the weather is better - so I reckon it will be a wardrobe staple in the months to come.
Total for May: £9
Total so far for 2017: £249.69
Total this time last year: £237.62

I love it! I'm sure I had a very similar one a few years ago, very versatile :)
ReplyDeleteIt's just slightly too big for me but oh well, a belt will sort that out.
DeleteI do love a purchase that you can wear no matter what the season. It's a lovely skirt and a nice length.
ReplyDeleteI actually took it up (badly) and have now realised I preferred it the original length - doh! But yeah I think the darker pattern will work as well in winter as it does now, which is what convinced me to splash out on it.
DeleteThat's a lovely skirt and so versatile!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute skirt! I spent kind of a lot this month for me....oops. :-0
