Each month I'm posting my clothing and accessory purchases in A Buyer's Archive, inspired by Elise, to keep track of what I'm buying and spending, and to compare with that of last year.
THIS YEAR
I made a few maternity purchases in early November. A denim dress, which I thought would look great with a long sleeved striped t-shirt underneath (£3.70), and a motif t-shirt (£4.00), both pre-loved from ebay. They've been folded up and stored away until I can decide what I want to do with them.
I also won some Clarks boots, very similar to those pictured, for £21.00, but they're a wide fit (I didn't read the description properly), so they're going back on ebay.
Then I bought some pants, three pairs for £14.00 from Next. Not exciting, but essential. I liked the colour combination of these, I don't wear white pants and generally every pack includes a white pair, which is annoying.
So not much in the way of purchases for what feels like a higher spend than usual.
LAST YEAR
I bought three items, a grey t-shirt from ASOS, £17.00. And one in pale neon orange, £7.00. And a neckerchief I found in a charity shop, £1.99.
I still have the t-shirts, the grey one needs mending but the orange one has been worn a number of times, both have been put away until the spring. The neckerchief didn't get worn much so went to a carboot sale in the summer, I think I sold it for a pound.
Total for November: £42.70
Total so far for 2017: £536.55
Total at this time last year: £720.59
I'm still on target for my £600 budget, but I have been doing a bit of online browsing and there are a number of things that have caught my eye. Can I resist?
What have you been buying this month?
