It has been a little quieter on the clothing purchase front this month. I've not been looking to buy clothes really, as I don't need much, save maybe a few sweaters made from natural materials, but I rarely see these in charity shops these days.
Having said this, I did find a sweater in the charity shop this month. It is from Hobbs and is part wool, part cotton. It cost £4 and is in pretty good condition. I may need to do a little debobbling on it, but nothing more. Here's a picture:
I think this will be good for wearing over a dress or with a long sleeved t-shirt underneath. It is handwash only, but I want to wash it as little as possible, if I can.
The next item I bought this month was a denim shirt for OH to give me for Xmas. It was from Primark and cost £16. It's 90% cotton and quite oversized. I'll maybe post a picture of it when I receive it at Xmas.
Another item I bought this month, was this Seasalt dress for £6 from a local charity shop. It is a bit oversized on me, but it is part linen, part viscose and I liked the print on it, so I figured that it was too nice quality to pass up. I will probably wear it under a large sweater or sweater vest, so the fact that it is oversized won't be as noticeable, as a consequence.
I did also go thrifting with LB to try to spend what remained on a Charity Shop gift card, but I couldn't find anything I wanted to buy, so at least this didn't add to my clothing purchases this month.
I made one more clothing purchase of a 100% plain cotton black T-shirt for the gym, which cost £4 from the men's section in the charity shop. I just need to turn up the sleeves and stitch them in place and then wash it before I wear it.
It's been a good month for not buying too many items of clothing. I spent £14 on items and another £16 on a gift for OH to give me for Xmas, so just £30 this month, which isn't too bad and means my spending is still reducing, if only slightly. I just hope I can continue to keep spending to a minimum going forward. Thrifting will always be a temptation for me though, I just have to keep it under control.
