Tee-shirts €5, trousers €10-15, etc. I don't have to spend fruitless hours walking round the shops, don't have to fend off salesgirls, don't have to keep dressing and undressing. <br /><br />It's marvellous. She comes to me with bags of stuff, I invite my pal and we have a jolly time trying everything on in the comfort of my bedroom.<br /><br />I've been using her for years now.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-42912932312070502152010-05-19T08:30:13.044+02:002010-05-19T08:30:13.044+02:00So you sort of have your own personal shopper.So you sort of have your own personal shopper.Johnny Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900659617233793880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-42650642256117154222010-05-10T09:51:32.654+02:002010-05-10T09:51:32.654+02:00Hi Johnny, I hardly ever buy anything new.

My clothes come from my flea market lady and are generally good makes so better quality than I could afford new.<br /><br />She knows my size and taste so it takes a lot of the pain out of shopping.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-61944235025046221532010-05-10T08:30:20.061+02:002010-05-10T08:30:20.061+02:00Well done getting rid of more stuff. things are no...Well done getting rid of more stuff. things are not a bargin no matter how cheap they are if they do not fit properly and are not top quality. I think it is far less expensive if you buy top quality of something that you need rather than want. You will wear it to death and it will cost you less in the end. Buy less but better is my moto for everthing. Beware of reductions as the best has probably sold out.Johnny Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900659617233793880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-64827579653260053952010-05-09T21:30:25.266+02:002010-05-09T21:30:25.266+02:00PG- Ironing since December?

Wow, and you still had stuff to wear?<br /><br />Jon- that's a minimalist wardrobe with a vengeance!<br /><br />Dash- yes, it's nice to see space and tidiness while it lasts...<br /><br />FF- how annoying! Still, a lovely excuse to redesign your wardrobe.<br /><br />Fly- I was talking to my mother today and she was saying she needs to cull but also needs ruthless help from me to stop her putting it all back. I also have 3 pairs of shoes/boots I should really sell as they are practically new having been bought and hardly worn cos so uncomfortable. For some obscure reason I spend the most money on shoes which are too narrow, can't wear them, and carry on wearing the same old crap!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-32860372680218650702010-05-09T21:08:08.909+02:002010-05-09T21:08:08.909+02:00I culled mother's stuff last time I was in the...I culled mother's stuff last time I was in the U.K. and asked a friend to call in the retro shops for some of it...dating from the fifties...mother threw nothing away!<br /><br />I don't often buy clothes since coming to France as their shapes and mine don't match at all but i still seem to have mysterious piles of rugby shirts which I don't remember acquiring and which seem to last foever when in use so that I hesitate to chuck out the rest...I'll probably be buried in one,the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-9545527866954699852010-05-09T20:52:50.322+02:002010-05-09T20:52:50.322+02:00Oh well done Sarah.

These days my entire wardrobe - aside from the odd special occasion thing like my diner jacket and white tie - revolves around two pairs of jeans, two of shorts, four t-shirts, six long sleeve tops, a shirt and two jumpers.<br /><br />This does make life simpler, if a little unvaried.Jonhttp://www.vendeeblog.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-25860157604377170672010-05-09T19:04:42.265+02:002010-05-09T19:04:42.265+02:00I thought I'd done a good cull this winter, an...I thought I'd done a good cull this winter, and my wardrobe had space again. But last week I did the ironing that's been accumulating since last December and I discovered that I've still got a way to go.
