The Blog Begins and the challenge with it

So often January rolls around and the resolutions are made, the excess of Christmas is to be forgotten and this year i wanted to do something a little different. I have set myself a challenge from the 31st of December 2013 to the 1st of January 2015 i will not be shopping.

No that's right! no Festive pennies spent on sales. No mad dashes to Topshop for the latest must have. Instead i will go back to that age old tradition of 'Make do and mend'.

This blog will be my way of keeping me on track and fr you to all hold me accountable to the rules and in return i shall share my outfits, DIY projects and Cooking and Baking delights :)


So lets tackle the 'nitty gritty'.

The Details

For the next year i must not buy any clothes/shoes/pajamas or accessories or unnecessary undergarments. However i must attempt to wear a different outfit as frequently as possible.

The Rules

1- Sports bra’s/ bras and running/gym trainers (these need replaced regularly for health reasons) can be purchased as can any necessary run wear (emphasis on the necessary!).

2 – Gifts; I am allowed to accept clothing items as gifts but only on main event gift times IE Birthday, Christmas or Anniversary – No spontaneous gift giving of clothing items will be allowed (i will not be being rude i will simply be unable to accept).

3 – The year will start from 9pm New years eve 2013 (Hogmanay) and will end as the bell chimes heralding in 2015.

4 – I will blog every outfit wear.

5 – I will share any DIY outfits made from re-used existing items. Fabric for any DIY must already be in my possession unless purchasing less that 1meter for trimmings.

6 – NO exceptions for events including the two weddings I will be attending. 

so here we go :)  359 days left.
