What I bought this month: October 2015

23:05

Linking up with Fran, here is what I bought this month.  As I've just started University and am still getting used to having no very little money, I'm probably only going to shop for clothes at the end of each loan period when I know what, if anything, I have left.

Sooo, whilst I had my eye on lots of lovely things, starting University meant I had a few key things I needed and unfortunately they are all neutral :-/  Sorry about that, but I promise when I next have spare money for clothes I will buy prettier things.

To get an idea of my logic for this months' budget, the end of September saw my last full time salary, so once all my unavoidable expenses were accounted for, I put the rest into one of my savings accounts and nicknamed it 'university.'  I used this money for the clothes below, and other boring things I needed for uni, like pan lids, a moving van, blah blah blah.

Shoes
Dress
Trousers
Skirt


When I returned from my holiday in September I ordered these shoes to wear for my Matriculation, but unfortunately they were wayyy too small when they arrived (although very pretty).  Lesson learned not to order things from the USA without being absolutely sure they will work - $40 to return them :-(.  So as it was getting closer to moving, I was getting pretty desperate to find a suitable but reasonably priced replacement.  It was sheer luck that on an unplanned trip to the Metro Centre  that I found they were having a student night and lots of shops were offering bigger than usual discounts :-)  Then when we were in Schuh my lovely Mum offered to buy them for me :-)
