April Ban - What's Already In My Wardrobe
So this month I have halted the spending, I am attempting my first
shopping ban. Which means I am not allowed to buy any clothes until the
end of April.I'm going to China in June and I seriously need to save,
otherwise I'm not going to be able to afford it! I had planned wishlist post for today...but seeing as I am not spending
money, I don't want to tease myself. So I decided to have a proper look
through my wardrobe to see what I actually have already.

| Pastels and Spring Colours Blue Cat Tee Lilac Dress |

| Floral Selection Floral Trousers Peter Pan Collar Blouse - Primark |

| Monochrome Leather Shorts - H&M |
 |
| Prints Tribal Leggings |
 |
| Colour Pop Mustard Skirt (shorter version) |
 |
| Denim |
 |
| Bralets |
So the photos above are of a selection of my clothing, just taking out pieces to photograph led to new combinations I hadn't thought of before. So girlies before you start purchasing all the wonderful clothes you are lusting after at the moment, I would recommend spending more time admiring what you have already to come up with some new outfits. We spend so long browsing online and instore that we don't spend enough time looking at what we already have, well I sure do anyway.
So this post isn't as much use to you as it is for me, but its an idea. Empty out your wardrobe and take a few snaps to look back on, when you think you have nothing to wear!

Glad you found it useful lovely! And yes the cat shorts, I really need to wear them more! xx
DeleteThis is such a great post! I'm very jealous of all your florals! I've been on a spending ban for about a month, (basically because I don't physically have the money haha), but it's left me itching to go shopping as soon as I get my student loan argh! I'm quite good at wearing my old clothes regularly, but this is still a really good idea as I neeeed to save my money for the summer!
ReplyDeleteOh I know! I'm in my overdraft already, waiting for my loan to pay for my flights! xx
DeleteSuch a good idea! I am going to do this next week; I have no idea what is hiding at the back of my wardobe...I may have to try everything on to see what I can get rid of. I may have to do a montage :) x
ReplyDeleteThankyou, I'm glad you found it useful. You can always sell a few pieces that you no longer wear :) x
