MONTH THREE DONE ✓ ✓ ✓ March has been a good month! The sun has been shining and I have refrained from making any purchases!  If you read my last post "Finding My Style - A New Series" you will know that I made a few purchases in February.  I will link that post here for you if you haven't read it and also my last monthly update (February) here .   I'm not sure how I've managed to stay away from temptation as I have been to the high street with my mum for birthday presents for family members and I've also been to the brand new Primark in Bluewater but managed to come away empty-handed which I'm over the moon about.  To be honest I didn't really like the Primark as it was so big and I'm not sure about you, but I really don't like shops if they are just too big! They scare me... I have no idea why!  I also feel I need to point out that my mum hasn't bought me anything either! If my best friend is reading this, that is specific...

Hey everyone, welcome to the second part of my "Finding My Style" series.  In my last post I spoke about how I had been "curating my closet" since January.  I will link that post here if you haven't read it but basically, in January I bought the Curated Closet Workbook by Anushka Rees and have been slowly working my way through it. I'm not quite sure what I expected from it when I started but I've been happy with the results so far and it's also thrown up a few surprises for me too.  I go into much deeper depth in my last post so head over and take a read as today I'm just talking about one particular item of clothing that has found it's way into my weekly wear list and it's really taken me by surprise.  I'm talking about the humble jogging bottom! Call them what you want - joggers, jogging bottoms, trackie bottoms, loungers...my experience with this particular clothing item has always been as oversized as possible (mens sec...

MONTH TWO DONE ✓ ✓ ✓ Ok, before I get started, let's just put this out there - confession time - there have been a few purchases this month!! Whilst I have been doing the No Buy Challenge I have also been "curating" my closet at the same time.  This has been, and still is, an ongoing thing and has required me to really look hard at my wardrobe, how I want it to work for me and also my inspirations etc.  I have decluttered and also realised that I was missing a few things in there that I felt would add to my wardrobe.  I don't want to talk to too much about that on this post (I shall do another post when I have finally completed the task) but like I said, there have been a few purchases and I always want to make sure I'm totally honest with you all.  But...I managed to get through February only spending around £30 so I am happy with that and it's a massive improvement on what I would normally spend in a month.  So, other than the few purchases, I hav...
