Boden Westbourne jumper in pink. Had been cancelled so they honoured the price.

www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Clearance/Womens-Knitwear/Jumpers/WK889/Womens-Westbourne-Jumper.html?NavGroupID=6

This in the flowery blue. The colour is great on me, but I can't decide if I am keeping it. It's a bit marmite.

www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Clearance/Womens-Knitwear/Jumpers/WK851-SAG/Womens-Sage-Pop-Spot-Printed-Button-Back-Jumper.html

Probably sending two Emma tops back. Again,can't decide if nice or frumpy.

I need some long, long vests this month, and at least one, probably two more pairs of Next relaxed skinnies. I put half my clothes in an ebay/out pile last night - it's the impending 40-ness this week that's done it Shock

In March? Two tops from Kettlewell colors. I am thinking of adding another Hermes scarf to my collection though.

Yay! My favourite thread is back! Thanks OP.

So far, I have ordered these silver heels from M&S after seeing them in store and thinking they were much nicer in real life:

I've also got this denim mini on order as it's a basic that I somehow don't have in my wardrobe:

www.marksandspencer.com/cotton-rich-washed-look-denim-mini-skirt/p/p22269175

I got a Boden denim dress off eBay for a fiver.

I've ordered this pink boucle coat from Matalan which could go either way. It'll either be fab or dreadful:

I also got this grey bomber jacket from Next which is great. I sized down to get a closer fit:

Bought lots of lovely things for my 2 year old little boy in Zara yesterday including this cute little jumper:

@PrimalLass - I have a couple of these longline vests from Matalan. They wash well and I use them a lot for working out:

Bras from Figleaves, NONE of which fit properly. Grr. All going back.
And this bikini, which I only ordered because it was a knock-down price in their flash sale, Blush, didn't think it was v nice, one of those 'it will do' buys. It is surpisingly lovely. A tad to big but I might fiddle about with a needle and thread.

Cant link atm but have a load of stuff waiting in my 'saved' bit on asos.

A pink tankini, 3 summery/ skater dresses in various floral prints, a belt, a bag (wont get it but its lovely and real leather £55) and a white plain LS top to wear under an itchy jumper.

Pink suede high heels from Primark £10 - such a gorgeous raspberry pink I couldn't not. Am imaging them with jeans and white T-shirts when the sun comes out Smile

I am on the look out for a new wallet as mine is falling apart too.

Nothing really in March, but most recent purchases have been another couple of pairs of River Island Molly mid-rise jeggings - I flipping love them, even in I was a bit "eek" at the price.
www.riverisland.com/women/jeans/jeggings/Dark-wash-Molly-reform-jeggings-647509

Also some African Red Tea cleanser from Ole Henrikson - it's the nicest cleanser I've ever used, feels like velvet on the skin.

And some Benefit Watts Up highlighter

This jumper from oliver bonas - perfectfor going into spring I thought

jumper

And this in the 20% off knitwear promotion, for wearing with skinnies, thought it looked a bit like the Cos one but obviously a bit easier on the wallet! Looks a bit frumpy on the picture but is actually really nice, its also navy not black like it looks here.

stripey top

Fauxfox - those shoes sound lovely. I'm well overdue a good Primark browse.

I have just ordered these cosy sheepskin slipper boots after seeing them recommended on MN. The "seconds" are a great price, and I'm sure I won't notice a small fault after a few wears. It does seem a bit odd to be ordering sheepskin in Spring, but I'm such a cold fish that they will be welded to my feet until the weather warms up.

And today I returned a handbag to M&S which wasn't the right colour. So, so far I'm actually in credit for March. Grin

These shoes from Mint Velvet. Picking them up tomorrow and hoping they're not too high. Hoping they'll look good with my bargain Matalan tube skirt as mentioned in the tube skirt thread.

I just received the Panache Porcelain T-Shirt Bra and Porcelain Plunge Bra. AMAZING!!!!! The T-shirt bra actually has better reviews but the Plunge worked best for me. Keeping them both though. So good!!!

Boden Mini in plain navy

ooo Sotiredfornow, please report back on your Boden Mini. I quite fancy a striped one. Do you think it is jersey/ponte type fabric?

Today I bought this fab navy lighter weight parka from H&M with 25% off thanks to Glamour magazine!

www.hm.com/gb/product/15654?article=15654-C

Also got these slim boyfriends jeans from Dorothy Perkins:

www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=slim+boyfriend&storeId=12552&productId=13945054&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33053

If, like me, you can't wear loose fit boyfriends because they drown your frame then these are the ones! To be honest, they're just a tad looser than skinnies but they roll up lovely and are 98% cotton, 2% elastane.

Update on my previous items...the pink Matalan coat went back. The zip was cheap and nasty. The silver M&S stilettos are a tad small so I've ordered a half size up. Am undecided on my M&S denim mini. I think I thought I needed it to fill a gap in my wardrobe, but really I don't.
