Why not try our £10 challenge? One wise financial expert once tried to cure me of my shopaholicism by telling me to ditch all my credit cards go out with only £10 in my pocket. The idea being that I would be so careful about spending it that I couldn't buy a thing.
Sadly for him, it didn't exactly work. Seeing it as a challenge, the crisp tenner lasted all of 10 minutes in my sweaty grip, as there were so many high street bargains I could spend it on.
What it did teach me, though, is that you don't have to be a big spender to get the latest looks. Even on a bargain budget you can try out all the latest trends. Just to get you started, we've rounded up this season's top 10 trends for under tenner.
