Miss Frugal loves her designer makes but my purse doesn't like paying for them!We have a rule where I pay for her basics and she tops it up with her own pocketmoney if she wants something more expensive. So, for example, if she needs a pair of jeans then I'll give her what I think is a reasonable amount for a pair of jeans and she can either buy a middle of the road brand or she can add money to what I've given her to buy a more expensive pair.As an example, she's been after some Top Shop jeans for ages but at £42 a pair, I'm really reluctant to buy them for her as I know she can get … [Read more...]
Easy Ways to update your wardrobe on a budget….
As part of our de-cluttering process we had a good old sort through Miss Frugal's wardrobe at the weekend. We were pretty ruthless and got rid of anything that hadn't been worn in a while, anything that she no longer liked and anything that was past it's best.After we'd sorted through every single piece of clothing that she owns, we ended up with two full black sacks to take to the charity shop which seems like a lot but we haven't been through her wardrobe since the start of Winter. Even then, we were much less ruthless that time as we kept lots of things that we probably shouldn't have … [Read more...]
Wembley Bound….
I apologise in advance for writing another football related post for this week's Wednesday's Wardrobe but Master Frugal has had his Boro shirt on almost non-stop since we told him last week that he was off to Wembley to see them play in the Championship Play Off Final on Monday just gone.They had an early start on Monday as Wembley's a long way from us - they had to get from our house to the Riverside stadium first and then on from there to Wembley on one of the supporters coaches. They had to leave our house before 5am which made me a little bit grateful that I'd chosen to stay at … [Read more...]
Wednesday’s Wardrobe – Master Frugal’s Favourite Shirt….
Welcome to this week's Wednesday's Wardrobe!Wednesday’s Wardrobe is a weekly linky that I'll be co-hosting along with two fantastic bloggers, Emma and Sarah.Usually my Wednesday's Wardrobe posts are focused on Miss Frugal - mainly because she has more clothes than any of us put together and has a genuine interest in clothes and make-up (as most girls do at her age I suppose) but this week it's all about her little brother who wanted to share his favourite shirt with us all....(Apologies for the awful picture, Miss Frugal took it to send to me at work the day he got the … [Read more...]
Wednesday’s Wardrobe – Why it pays to have patience and shop around….
Welcome to this week's Wednesday's Wardrobe!Wednesday’s Wardrobe is a weekly linky that I'll be co-hosting along with two fantastic bloggers, Emma and Sarah and Miss Frugal especially is really enjoying working on these posts together each week.In the last year or so, I've developed a bit of a love for all things Orla Kiely which doesn't necessarily sit well with my frugal side. I think her designs are beautiful and I spent most of last year drooling over some of her bag designs and going backwards and forwards between really wanting to treat myself and realising that there was better … [Read more...]
Wednesday’s Wardrobe – When bargain hunting goes well….
Welcome to this week's Wednesday's Wardrobe!Wednesday’s Wardrobe is a weekly linky that I'll be co-hosting along with two fantastic bloggers, Emma and Sarah and Miss Frugal especially is really enjoying working on these posts together each week.You might have seen that I was given some credit last week to review a voucher app called Zeek where you can buy discounted gift vouchers. I ended up buying some New Look gift vouchers for Miss Frugal so she could buy some Summer shoes and clothes and we collected them from our local shop yesterday.This is her first outfit:We also … [Read more...]
