Suddenly A Spender?

I've never been one to spend a lot of money on clothes and toiletries, just the essentials and that it is generally it.  Since I stopped leaving the house except to go to work and college I bought even less.

Christmas Day or New Year's Day (or both if there was nothing on the telly) I would have a clear out of my clothes and shoes, sorting them into 'keep', 'bin' and 'charity shop'.  Eventually I was left with work clothes, an interview outfit, a couple of pairs of jeans and a few t-shirts and jumpers. And that was enough. I am sure that the charity shops were pleased to receive items still with their tags on, having not been worn at all as I did occasionally buy things 'just in case' but never needed to wear them.

Now that the warmer weather has finally arrived I have been having a bit of a delayed Spring Clean and I have been amazed to discover how much I have bought in the last couple of months.

This is just some of it.

I have bought 6 pairs of jeans (2 dark blue, 2 a lighter distressed blue, 1 black and 1 violet), 1 dress, 3 pairs of trousers and countless tops and knitwear.  I have also bought several pairs of shoes.  I have also bought 'posh' toiletries, well posh compared to those I normally buy.

I am still not sure why I bought all of these clothes, I even bought some of them at the airport and in Barcelona, and I have no idea where I will wear them, a couple of items may be suitable for work, but as for the rest, I guess a lot will end up in the Charity Shop pile in my next festive season clear out.
