If you are the type who buys new clothes every season…

How much did you spend?

I got 3 dresses for Shabbos around between 42-115 (I don’t generally buy in Jewish stores because I like classic styles and more quality materials than polyester.)

A new heel $75

A nice weekday dress $100
2 sweaters from H&M for $20 and one nice top for $45

Going to a hot location for pesach so I got new sunnies ($30) coverup ($30) and designer second hand slides ()
($100)

Even though I was careful I still managed to spend over $600 and I really want one more dress…

Crazy how it adds up so fast.

Oh and $60 on new makeup

One new shabbos dress (150) - got three good ones from last year.

Two new tops (30x2) on sale from Jewish shops

Shoes (8)

But I still need tights (probably 20), weekday shoes (probably 20x2) and a few more tops (probably 100) and a skirt (probably 30) which I'm waiting for in the sales - shavuos time.

Total will be around £4-450

(I'm in the UK which will still be cold til shavuos 😂😂)

Also, which stores go on sale for 30 from Shavous? That’s very cheap… The sales then aren’t that steep…

I spent $937 but split it over a few months

2 nice Shabbos/yt/simcha dress (all cotton bec we’ll be in a hot area visiting family) +alteretions
1 weekday skirt
1 cheap cotton casual Shabbos dress
1 belt
2linen shirts
1 linen skirt
1 pair comfy shoes for walking on yt

I would have loved to buy a new wig but not in our budget at this time

Also would love a pair of Celine sunglasses because also being in a hot climate but not spending on that now, that’s a major splurge and I’ll need to save my Chanukah gelt or something for that Wink

Can you all give us ideas of where you shop?
I still need one more shabbos and possibly nice weekday.

(I also just got a new wig but I’m not including it in pesach because it was a separate chesbon. I was saving for a while.)

Shabbos shoes from matalan for £8 😂 I barely go out in shabbos

The yal tops in acc world will go on sale for 30 midway through the season. And if you're lucky at the Jewish shops right at the end of the season also.
