You're doing really well there Lucy Maybe I just get sucked into the whole competitiveness thing, especially in an office environment where other women can look you up and down and notice if you have worn the same suit every second day for months on end... I just can't resist buying a new outfit every so often just to show I can present as well as anyone. It'd be a huge change from shopping for clothes at Op Shops like I have been for the past 4 years... oh and I don't wear makeup when I'm at home... so even the cost of going out and buying mascara/foundation/lippy every so often would add up for me.
