Day 32 new month new look

Well actually same old look clotheswise but a new frame of mind. How happy am I that February is a short month, more money to pay debt back if I stick to budget.

Tonight I have a hot date and am mentally thinking what look to achieve and how to put it together. Also I've mentioned lack of funds as I don't want to stretch myself or be a money grabber even if he is paying. I've suggested an easy bar for an earlyish drink and set myself a time limit. I'm filled with resolve and strictness that is very pleasing to the wallet if not to the eye.

At least I can slink out early on a Friday from my desk....

Will I stick to my guns?
Plus does any blogger out there know why my spell check isn't working? Help please.....

Day 10 at last a break

Everyone has been bemoaning the rain with the exception of moi. No opportunity to nip to the shops. Lots of people hanging around at lunchtime to entertain me or distract me, because they to don't want to go out in the rain.

All in all a good day.

Day Two battle stakes are upped

I made the fatal mistake of nipping into town. I didn't buy anything but I saw a number of items that wouldn't break the budget. A nice fine stripy tee with ruffle detail, quite Jacobesque in New Look. Red ballet flats in the sale for £5 and equally useful black ones for £15. I also peeked in at H&M, a Marniesque skirt retailing for £14.99 jumped out at me. I ran away it had summer frolics and fun written all over it. Would look great with Christian Louboutin patent sandals in yellow. The H&M skirt is white with grey abstract block print. Then Dotty Ps was my next little venture. I ignored Topshop and others on the basis I'm looking low end high street retailer. Can the lower end fuel or dowse my fashion flames? I spied a great black t-shirt dress at £25, very French, very flirty and again I was transported to flights of fancy. A long sleeve white tee with bib front and ruffle collar was talking to me but I stepped away. I don't do Primark or Peacocks - yet, so M&S was given a whirl and thankfully a major amount of Per Una and Classics numbers was their offering and I was suitably bored and appalled.
Sleep did not come easily to me last night - the black flats were fought off, the DP black dress was the lead role with the New Look stripy tee a good supporting act.
Oh god is there no escape? Will I succumb to a purchase that is money earmarked for credit card pay back? Am I destined to the high street not Bond Street or Knightsbridge for the rest of my life?
