Day 30: Happy 30th


              • Red woollen jacket: East
              • Black lst: Matalan
              • Grey trousers: New Look
              • Black boots: Clarks

So today I am joining in with blazer day over at Everybody Everywear which meant I had to plan ahead for this and include a blazer/jacket in my 30 for 30 items. I wasn't convinced I would have a need for a blazer this month and wondered if it was a waste of one of my precious 30 items, but I am sure I can find ways to remix it in again. This is also the first day I have worn these trousers since I bought them before Christmas. As they are shorter with a slightly tapered style I wasn't sure what shoes would work with them but I think they will go with a number of different styles. The photo doesn't quite do them justice.

This is also Day 30 of my blog and I am very pleased to have made it this far. Only 335 days until I can shop again. I am not missing shopping as much as I thought I would but this is partly because I have not been around so much at lunchtimes when I tend to do most of my shopping. I have also been making a concious effort to avoid the shops at other times and I have replaced clothes shopping with shopping for the house. That has certainly kept me distracted but I fear may have a more devastating impact on the old finances!

    Happy 30 to you! I'm so pleased that you used that last space for our blazer challenge. It's a great color and I have no doubt that you will be able to find fun ways to remix it!

    Thanks Katie

    So far it's not been too hard but there are some sales in the shops and I am feeling a bit jumpy and I think the season's changing will be tough. Hopefully I'll be embracing all the forgotten goodies in my wardrobe by then.

    Thanks Linda

    I was excited to join in as just missed out on the breton stripes, although was inspired to do my own a few days later. I am sure I will work the jacket in again.
    I am loving the Everybody, Everywear community, it is a great idea and fantastic having a theme and all the photographs laid out in one place which are easy to view.
    Looking forward to the next one.

    Ah your on a shopping ban too! How is it going? I am fine at the moment, luckily I had been sent clothing a few weeks ago, and I have won a few items, so it doesn't feel like I have gone without shopping.
