The next fashion on a budget challenge awaits!

Hi, For those of you who love a fashion challenge and are on a budget welcome to my blog. In my previous posts I gave myself a total of £125 and with that I was to purchase my summer wardrobe. I called it quite aptly The Summer Challenge. I manage to do the task (quite easily, I may add) and bring it in under budget by £1! It may not sound much but it soon adds up. If you read my post entitled: 11 items for successful summer dressing! you will see exactly what I purchased. Now I am going to set myself up for the next challenge. That challenge will be to see what I can purchase for my Autumn wardrobe. However, the budget this time will be £250. I am using this figure as between now and then, i.e towards the end of September, I should be able to save that amount. In the meantime, I shall use my recently purchased summer haul and stuff that I have already have to see me through the summer season. I shall keep you posted.

11 items for successful summer dressing for you fashionistas out there!

Hi, I am down to my last £14 and I have been on the ASOS website and found a couple of items to spend this on. I have decided to go with accessories for the last leg of my summer challenge. The first being an ASOS lightning Bolt Zip Top Clutch bag. It was originally £18 but has been reduced by half to £9. http://bit.ly/1NwmjnX. The next and final item is a leather look purse reduced from £10 to £4 http://bit.ly/1KscRUH. This brings my grand total to £124! so I am £1 under budget! Yeah! Anyway here is a recap of what I purchased with that £124. 1. A striped t-shirt from H&M for £4 http://bit.ly/1GFGxtr 2. A pair of skinny jeans, also from H&M for £12 http://bit.ly/1BzoohT 3. A pair of leopard print trainers. They too were from H&M and were £5 http://bit.ly/1GFHwtN 4. A classic black sleeveless top with metal straps for £8 http://bit.ly/1NbPHj9, and yes they are from H&M. 5. A pair of light grey suede heels reduced from £39.99 to £20 http://bit.ly/1BMWpM0.
