What I bought I went until July (which was a full nine months since I'd bought any new clothes) before buying anything then raced up to 11 things by October! I bought: 1 x a woolly hoodie jumper from a charity shop 4 x jeans from eBay (mostly replacements for old ones falling apart -- I wear jeans all day, every day) 1 x light cardigan from a high street store 2 x t-shirts from Threadless 2 x long-sleeved tops from a high street store 1 x a cord jacket from a charity shop I can't tell you how many things I watched on eBay, or added to basket on other online shops, or considered at in-person shops -- it was a LOT but I only bought those 11 things. By and large, I thought a lot more carefully about what I was buying because I didn't want to go over my limit. That said: I still made impulse buys and mistakes . I love the cord jacket I got in October but that was a mistake: I'd spent most of the year trying to find the perfect spring/autumn jacket on eBay but then impulse bought the jacket at a charity shop even though it didn't have a hood (which was a key thing for me) -- I've been rained on so many times since then! The biggest mistake though was the Threadless t-shirts I bought in September -- I've had t-shirts from there before and they've been decent quality;
