ebaygirl Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have been stalking a particular top in the Long Tall Sally sale for what seems like weeks. I loved it, but couldn't justify it at full price this close to Christmas. It was reduced by 16 pounds first of all & I have been checking daily for their "Further Reductions" banner to go up. It just has - top reduced by a further 10 pounds and it is now on its way to me! (V odd - the pound sign has gone from my keyboard... ) Woooohooo!! I should put this into context - my resolution last year was only to buy essential clothes - ie underwear! I did it and this top and a hoody from LTS were my first clothing purchases in 367 days! Am having a glass of wine to celebrate! Sarah x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebaygirl Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Oooh, keep going! I hoped I'd be ok on this one as all sizes were still available. Fingers crossed for the scarf - I think you'll need it with the forecast weather!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Wow, Sarah, I am seriously impressed - not buying anything for a year? Must not ever ever ever let my OH see this thread! Well done on getting the top you wanted, you sooooo deserved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebaygirl Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks! It was really hard at times & I now find it difficult to choose what to wear for work etc as I have worn it all to death. Some of it literally - threadbare! But that is how it should be really, it was getting a little excessive in my wardrobe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The only new clothes I bought for me last year was some vest tops which were actually long enough to tuck into my jeans & stop draughts ..........I've obviously reached the age where comfort is a priority not what it all looks like Had to buy a few bits & bobs for the ever growing kidlings , but very good on the grownup front .......DH went out just before Christmas & bought himself some trousers & shirts as his are getting a bit threadbare too...saved me buying them as part of his pressie Mind you he hasn't bought shirts in sooooo long that he didn't know what size his collar has expanded to Everytime I choose to covet an item it sells out in my size before the sale even starts.......... ......well done you for persevering & catching your bargain Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
