What should I buy with £150?

I am clueless and my wardrobe is a disaster. Most of my clothes are at least 10 5 years old.

I never buy myself clothes, usually relying on mother to buy me the odd thing for Christmas and birthdays.

So. Now I have £150 to spend on clothes but I'm not sure what to get.

Do I buy 2 or 3 Boden type things that will last or do I go cheaper so I can get more items of clothing? (And if so, where shall I get them?)

What basics are good? I need to be able to mix and match things rather than having specific outfits.

Thank you!

Try Zara for staple stuff, or Uniqlo, good cotton and will last better than H&M. Buy 2/3 tops and a cardigan which will mix and match over each top, then some cropped trousers (banana republic have great ones atm), and a denim skirt maybe:

This is a copy of the Stella McCartney skirt from last summer, and it has stretch, makes a great staple for £39. Team with bright tops you can wear under a colour blocking clashing cardie like this in coral, mix with some crops or capris.

Match with a tan skinny belt and wedges and off you go. 3 tops, 3 bottoms, all mix and match for under £150.

Of course I may be way off key with your style and colour choices, but hey ho gave it a go!

Thank you! I really like those suggestions. I have a denim skirt already so that helps Smile
