As long as you invested the money you claimed you have, you should be fine.
Immigration rules don't say what considered as investment as you may spend your money as you wish but they tell you exactly what is excluded from it.
Refer to the guide to read on all the things which are NOT acceptable as an investment.

i am on a tier 1 entrapreneur visa .. can i work in importing clothes and selling them in the UK? is it acceptable to purchase the clothes via transferring the funds outside the UK .. would they look at it as a way of getting money out of the country

Yes, you can if;
1)Business have mandatory accreditation i.e. import licenses, affiliation / registrations, correct declaration to HMRC
&
2) Business genuinely trading within UK Economy.

As per the new rules if you entered after Apr 2014 you need a continuous year of the job (he can be replaced with an alternative employee for same position)

It seems from what you say you will have issues with genuine entrepreneur test.

The employment does not need to be continuous, it just has to last for 12 months if you are post April 2014
