Ah we’re all on a budget these days aren’t we! I’ve spent the last few weeks rummaging through last years’ wardrobe trying to work out what could possibly make it through another year and have decided to make a few small purchases of cheap designer clothes and to use accessories to update. It’s amazing what you can do on a budget!
