I haven't seen many clothes recently that I would like to buy, so could you inspire me with your recent favourite purchases?

I got this - am very pleased with it. Covers a multitude of sins and doesn't need special underwear.

Not really seeling it am I?

Also got these shoes - soooo delighted with these, make me feel special!

Should have been selling it - obviously!

That dress is lovely! I like the shoes too but I very rarely wear heels. I think dresses that don't need special underwear are definitely a good thing!!

Impressive haul blossoming! I have been thinking about getting some skinny cargos but I'm not sure if they would suit me as I am pear-shaped. Guess I should try some on and find out.

I'm really envious of anyone who has recently bought jeans - cannot find any I'm happy with.!

Beginning to think that it's maybe not the jeans that are the problem.......

I bought a gorgeous top and jacket from my friends shop...only to get home and find out that it is part of Alex Currens "collection".

Devastated doesn't cover it [cshock]

A great pair of grey and blue Adidas LA trainer... not sure they fall into the "lovely" category though.

OwlMother - I have just recently bought the best pair of jeans ever from Levis. Their curve id jeans are brilliant and I would definitely recommend them.

Thanks for that Dexter! Did you also say you are pear shaped? Think that's been my issue jeans buying. Am now googling levis curve id!

I am a pear. I got demi curve jeans in a straight leg and they fit on the waist and I don't need a belt. Think that they are the first pair of jeans I have had for years that aren't too big on the waist. They were £85 but worth it!

According to the levis website thing, I too need demi curve! I am now going to place my order before I talk myself out of it! Thanks again.
