So the rest of us can shamelessly copy be amazed by your shopping prowess!!!!! May also enourage those of us trying to de-frump!

I went shopping today and brought a cute blouse thingy from H&M - in dark purple (trying to break my black habit), short capped sleeves, a few flat ruffles at the top with some small black buttons down the front! Not smock style but great for disguising muffin tops!

Sorry expat - didn't mean to gloat. Not been shopping for ages and was just a bit over excited at getting something!
I often sit here thinking about what people actually buy after all the suggestions posted on here.

I hates it, too, pointy.

Except for for other people or for non-clothes things. I don't like shopping for clothes and usually do it online.

I bought a long grey jumper (possibly supposed to be a dress) from H&M. And a watch to replace the one that was stolen in my burglary a few weeks ago. Actually that was quite nice because the insurance gave me a card with cash on it that I could only spend in a jewellers so I had to treat myself. It's a small watch but it came in a mahoosive box.

And a grauniad

To my shame, I haven't left the house today. Had friends round this morning and then I've spent the rest of the day curled up with a book. I did send the girls down the road to buy milk and cake though.
