Well done Laura – I’m in the same wedding quandry at the moment. Got one wedding to go to in a couple of weeks, and another in July and nothing to wear! Not even sure I’ve got any decent shoes. Trying to think of a frugal answer – rather than an expensive trip to Bluewater. Stumped. Any ideas?

Well done, Laura, you’re going great guns. I’ve cut down hugely on clothes shopping this year, but couldn’t go completely cold turkey like you’re doing. Mind you, after this 10 days challenge malarkey, all your clothes’ll prob be too big for you!

Good on you!

I’ve been going the other way and have bought almost a complete new wardrobe so far this year. I had to because I’ve gone up 2 dress sizes since last year and nothing fit me anymore (still have another 1/2 dress sizes to go so no doubt this little lot won’t fit me next year either). It’s almost all second-hand though, so I haven’t really been extravagent.

Avoiding the shops and any kind of online shopping helps immeasurably. I am keen on doing the same, however post-pregnancy and change of seasons (with a lot of weight to lose) means I don´t think I will get away without buying anything new which is a pity. But I am too vain to wear clothes that are either too big or too small for long. Having your shoes reheeled will feel like new shoes anyway! Good luck!
