Do you follow fashion and get a new wardrobe every season?
Or are you like me and can't really afford to do that so am digging out clothes I wore last year and Pre pregnancy!?

I've got bits that are a few years old that I still wear, I wish I had more new bits but I never spend money on myself there's always more important things IMO

I'm like you hun, I've just this last week been up the loft and dug out all my pre-Thomas clothes and some of them fit

I just can't afford to buy myself new clothes - infact any new bits I've had in the last couple of years have been bits I have asked for for birthdays/christmas or that my mum has treated me too coz she feels sorry for me . I hate going shopping because I see bits I would love but can't justify buying. This is probably gonna sound so shallow but I actually can't wait until I can get the kids in nursery and get back to work so I can treat myself and Paul now and then like I used to.

I used to buy new clothes all the time, like every day... or at least every week but that was when I only had myself to worry about! Now I would much rather buy something for Tyler... hopefulyl once I've had this next baby I can get back down to a decent size and I might treat myself

i keep clothes forever and ever until they are rags i absolutely hate clothes shopping and we really dont have much money just now - even stuff that i can't squish one leg into anymore is in vacupacks but stuff like jeans, cardis and things i wear until they literally fall off into dust

i used to spend loads on clothes from warehouse,mango,topshop (well, relatively loads anyway) but now i dont even go into those shops cos they are so pricey and soooooo small usually

isnt it funny, i can easily spend any spare money on clothes//toys for elijah, and yet hesitate over spending a tenner on two t-shirts for me

i'm terrible, russ "accidently" threw out a bag of my clothes when we moved, they were jumpers i'd had years and years, and jeans that were that bare i'd cut into shorts, but he threw them away...
informing me that i wouldnt need them for a while.

but i got loads i keep i hate clothes shopping with a passion, but hopefully once bubs is born i can loose some weight and buy soemthing nice

Yep, same here - I'm struggling at the moment because I get puked on at least twice a day and havent got enough clothes to change into all the time (so have to end up wearing clothes with puke on ).

Before Libby and when I was working full time it was all I did - buy new clothes/shoes/handbags, it's actually sickening how much I used to spend on it all. Oh how I long for a full time wage nowadays - and thats just so I cant treat the children and take them out places.

im with you on that one - wtf did i do with all that money and why didnt i get my driving license???????????

I used to be a nightmare and spend a fortune every weekend on clothes.

Obviously my priorities changed a lot when I had Aimee, so I tend to have a selection of classic stuff in my wardrobe that never dates; jeans, plain tshirts, etc. I have got my 'going out' clothes which are quite timeless too.

I am not really into the latest fashions, tbh, (skinny jeans just wouldnt suit me!) so I dont have to worry about that xx

I know Mari, I do drive but that was my downful because I could take myself off shopping every saturday and sunday. I actually dont know how I managed to spend ALL of wages every month and usually within a couple of weeks!

Susan - I used to work at the edge of town and all there was to do at lunch time was either stay at work (NOT getting paid for it) or wonder around the shops... spending.

I don't know how I managed to spend all my wages either... I never had ANY savings or any money left over either... mind I did go out boozing every Friday night too haha.

i am the same just got all my summer clothes looked out from the loft again i wear them till they are wrecked, just cannot afford to buy new all the time xx

i wear them until theyre nothing but raggs tend to buy new going out clothes, but seeing as i hardley ever go out i dont buy much...saying that i do like to buy 1 or 2 bits new for a holiday x

I tend to keep most clothes. I even have all my size 8s packed away even though its been 4 years since I fit in them and have to starve myself to do it. I do tend to buy myself new stuff as well though. Need to stop because we can't afford for me to keep bailing myself out with the savings anymore

I do buy myself things regularly if i see them as i am at work so do have a bit of spare cash. I do not follow fashion at all and the stuff in the shops at the moment just would not suit me at all (skinny jeans, batwing tops)

I do wear old things that i love, i have a top and skirt that i wear from about 4 years ago and they are stil one of my faves. I know i sound like a tramp but i have a summer dress that i bought in 1995 that i still wore until i was pregnant. I still absolutely love it and it is in fab condition, it is too tight now though but i am still keeping it in case i ever lose weight! xx

I buy the odd jumper or top but most of my clothes are from 2006/2007 onwards

im currently wearing a pair of jeans i brought when i was 18 lol!! i have a mixture of old and new xx

Im the same i wear the same stuff untill it doesnt fit or rips xx
