The Frugality/Alexandra Stedman #10 No wonder she’s absolutely minted, she’s selling her freebies on Vinted

[skyehigh]

Let's face it, the line between when Alex is busy working and when Alex is taking a day off is basically non existent.

Alex’s latest post, she’s been ‘pushing herself’ this week….by wearing red trousers…fuck me calm down Alex love, don’t overdo it there

Thread title from @Exhaustednurse (I had to remove the word 'all' sorry because it was too long)

Alex is galumphing round braless and snaffling all the 'free' tapas. Anyone want to do a recap?

Recent thoughts on our favourite frugal bullshitter:

Nice coat, terrible jeans (proof that French tuck's don't suit every body shape).
Move over Emily Pankhurst - Alex dressing like a bag lady is the only feminist icon we need.
Pleading poverty whilst living in a £800k house and twatting around on instagram for a few hours a week will never not be mindblowing.
Please get your sinuses sorted.
Suggested new year resolution for Dopey: wash your fucking hair.
I didn't hate the tote reel (I know I know).

How can anyone praise her in the comments on her post for putting together those ‘outfits’, there is nothing stylish/fashionable/edgy/chic/wearable about any of them, there are a mish mash of clothes and very few would actually go out their front door dressed like that.

All this crap about finding five ways to wear that skirt - she hasn‘t even managed to find one way that looks in any way good. Her forte for styling has sadly gone.
---
In one of the comments, someone has said it’s a beachy skirt that belongs in the summer holiday wardrobe - her reply was that, that’s the point we need to think about making our outfits last longer and not for the beach, for evening, etc.

Why do we need to though, what’s wrong with having hot weather clothes that we wear during hot weather, or heavy clothing that is suited to winter only. If we wear them for several seasons of summer or winter, does it matter. What’s wrong with having a pair of trousers that we only have one or two tops we wear with them, as long as they are regularly worn.

Not to mention all the “splatterware”.

Let your kid run around naked and you may acquire more splatterware than anticipated!

 

[maliceinwanderlust]

What’s she painting it with this time do we think… ann eyelash?

 

[raaraat]

The glasses grift has finally paid off and she’s scored a partnership with spec savers. God she’s canny.

 

[GossipMongoose]

He probably asked her why the f she had her jumper on over the top of her coat...

I shudder to think of Alex’s awful ‘Frugal Guide’ to Manchester. It’s my home town and I don’t want her dragging it down

Though I am tempted to send her some anti-recommendations for laughs.

 

[zetta buttons]

Payday treat? How old is she?

Everyday appears to be a payday in Alex’s world.

 

[louderforthecheapseats]

£50 a year or £5 a month to be a subscriber and receive ‘styling chat and an essay why she let go of the frugality’ you’re ok thanks Alex love none of us need to be paying for any of that

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Alex thinks she’s quite a motivated person
I just nearly choked on my drink hearing that!

Alex who thinks two trips to the post office makes a hard day’s work

 

[gollygally]

Nice to see our Alex getting a new pair of cos trousers few days ago and today popping to H&M. No rest for our busy working mum

 

[MeWithTheHair]

Can’t believe I’m the first here to wtf to coco pops selection packs for the kids stockings helloooooo

wtf! Why does she have butter on tiger bread to dip into Camembert a lovely crusty bread is all you need, not butter as well!
This is why she has terrible bloated skin

This is very dramatic
It might not be the best combo of food but adding a bit of butter to her bread with cheese isn't the sole cause of her puffiness, lol. Nobody here ever eat a cheese butty?

 

[nogoodusernamesleft]

She managed to buy a substantial family home in London by frugally eating leftovers, I’ll have you know It’s probably macaroni til Easter.

 

[MeWithTheHair]

Haha other than the very blatant nod to all our spot on comments about those outfits in that reel, the bathroom one is hilarious because:

What Very Busy Person repaints a bathroom because of 1 cabinet (!)

And…
Someone on here fully predicted she’d dive head first into sostrene grene and I love that you called it (or maybe even caused it) hahaaaa!!

To be fair both of them can draw down a salary of £99,999 so nearly a household salary of £200k and still get 30 free hours. All perfectly legal. Less great if you have say a finance manager on £110k and a NHS nurse on £35k though who don’t qualify.

She tries sooo hard to be relatable whilst being anything but.

It is a bad outcome of UK tax policy that you aren’t better off between £99,999 and about £125k if you have a child in the 30 free hours stage.

 

[winkler]

The drivel about not being able to use a search engine - does she think it makes her relatable? It makes her sounds like an absolute moron, especially as a good 50% of her day is probably googling Tiger tat and Post Office opening hours.
