Here we are finally it is pay day and it is time to lock into a low buy year. I am not going to be cutting out spending all together but instead I am just going to try buy a whole lot less and make sure that the purchase I make align with my goals rather than being a waste of money like some recent purchases have been. So here are the items I am hoping to pick up with this months pay...

Light Coloured Jeans

The weather is changing and I don't have any light coloured jeans so I need to change that ready for building those Spring outfits. I have my eye on a pair from Primark which won't break the bank as I am hoping they won't fit me for too long. These are just going to be to get me through the next few months so hopefully I can find them soon and finally get building some lighter coloured outfits.

Nike Socks

The socks need an upgrade as the white ones I currently have are beyond hope of looking white again. I am hoping to pick up a few packs and look after them properly so that they stay the colour they should be for longer. I am also going to try not use them for the gym as that is where they get destroyed.

Nike Joggers

My lounge wear is also in need of an upgrade and with the British weather I know I will be in joggers for a while still and even on evenings as there will be a chill in the air. These would be used for lounging and getting to and from the gym so will be worth the price tag however, I have a few outlet trips in the works so maybe I can get some cheaper on one of those trips.

Castore Coat

I have had my eye on a coat from Castore for a while now but as it is a bit of a padded coat I have a feeling it might be a silly purchase now the weather is changing a bit. That being said it is currently a really good price in the outlets so I am tempted to purchase it in a much smaller size so that it fits me during autumn & winter this year. I think if I find it on an outlet trip this is definitely going to have to take place.

Nike Cap

The warmer weather is coming and I have said all along that the plan was to get a few new caps to add into my rotation so that I aren't just wearing my Ralph Lauren one. I have had my eye on a few different ones I want to pick up already and I think I am going to try buy one a month so first up I am going to be on the hunt for a Nike one at a reasonable price. The plan is to go nice and simple in a colour that will go with everything. Who knows this could be another outlet pick up.

Nike Air Force 1's 

I said I would never buy a pair again however, I think the time has come to add a pair into my rotation once more. These trainers are super comfortable and just go with everything so I am hoping to pick up a new pair ready for the weather changing to become much nicer than it has been. I can already see the Spring outfits coming together with a pair of these. 

Nike Slides

My current slides have officially given up as they are starting to fall apart. To go with what seems to be a Nike theme this month I am looking at moving away from the Primark slides and treating myself to a Nike pair. I don't think I will find these in an outlet due to the time of year so a trip to Sports Direct is on the cards. 

So there you have it those are the items I am looking to pick up with this months pay. There may be a few cheap t-shirt purchase from Primark again just so I have some nice fitting t-shirts as the weather gets better but we shall see how it goes. 

Let's try stick to this list though and save some money for a change rather than spending for the sake of it. I wonder what the first purchase will be.

See you soon,
