What have you purchased so far this year.....

[chickydoo]

Was trying to cut back.....but....

Mint Velvet long jumper, looks great with leggings/jeans/boots
Sweaty Betty leggings and top...really for going to gym, but could wear out.
Boden shorts,we are having a hot holiday in a few weeks, and my shorts were vile.
2 bras with matching knickers.

so much for frugal Febuary, still, managed to avoid the sales this year.

2 Mango modal/lambswool jumpers grey (destroyed 1st one by accidentally washing in machine so bought a second)
2 pairs Mango tailored shorts - black and tan colours
2 M&S bras - non-underwired (not proud)

Am determined to do a wardrobe clearout and summer clothes audit before I buy anything else..

In denial at current size - babe 2 months old and still carting 2 stone around, so not much shopping for me happening!

Navy skinnies in new hefty size
Down coat from Zara sale (bargain!)
Big black snood and taupe fingerless gloves from KG sale
2x jersey tunics from Dotty P - taupe and striped
2x Hush pyjamas (practical)

Wanting leopard flats, Diesel jeans (my treat when I lose the flab) and a good brown leather belt.

Ooooh hello I like this thread ! Makes me feel normal (beginning to feel slightly guilty at spending so far this year ... Think I may have addiction to Internet shopping.i blame DH for buying me iPad for Christmas...just can't keep off it! Am seeking counselling.

2 lovely Boden long line striped tunics (pale blue and red)
1very loud Boden flowery tunic (flattering)
1 H and M stone coloured cardi (goes with everything)
1 gorgeous v fitted short black blazer from Warehouse
1 v cheap but versatile top from Tesco (trust me!)
1 pair cute ballerinas in red with diamanté cluster from Zalando
1 freshwater pearl bracelet (snuck it in an Amazon order!)
2 dresses from Dorothy perkins (returned...see I can)
1 pair slim fit jeans from Next
1 classic silk shirt from French Connection
1 nude coloured handbag from Dune (v useful)

OMG I have a real problem don't I?this is terrible! Maybe because I haven't had a carb since 8th Jan!

I forgot some -

dark denim jeans - Oasis
brown nail varnish
French manicure set (which was a disaster - I looked like I had tippexed my fingers)
nail growth stuff

I did, however, clean out my wardrobe today and have a huge pile of stuff ready for the charity shop - and I now know where the gaps are.

I've bought far too much

Great Plains ruched jersey dress
Great Plains long sleeved stripy top
Great Plains long sleeved grey tshirt
Great Plains stripy dress
Great Plains black trousers
Great Plains grey jumper dress
Great Plains Bird print top
LK Bennett purple cardigan
LK Bennett purple heels
LK Bennett knee length brown boots
Dorothy Perkins Navy shift dress
Oasis cropped mustardy colour trousers (actually bought those NYE so don't count!)
Pair of leopard print and black peep toe heels (sound ghastly but are actually fab)
Austin Reed skirt suit (absolute bargain less than £50 for the whole suit!!)
Tesco black long sleeved t shirt

In my defence they were all sale bargains, but thinking now I may need to cut back in February

Osprey handbag from TKMaxx (£80 down from £300. I'll need a smart black work bag in the next 6 months so I figured I might as well just take the hit now rather than panic and spend more on a less nice bag)
Eton NW3 dress from Hobbs in black (£32 down from £110 - I've been waiting for it to come into the sale)
3 work/interview dresses from M&S, plus anti-static slips underneath
LK Bennett black jacket (see above comment re. handbag - this was £95 down from £235 or similar).

More than I wanted to spend, but it made sense to get nice quality things in the sale than wait until later in the year and either get worse quality or spend more.

It's also the first time in 5 years I've gone more than 2 months not buying a new bra/matching pants (about £60 or so by the time I've bought a few pairs of pants)

The new Chanel foundation ( love it )
Dior mascara (ok)

No clothes yet.

I thought I was being reasonable but adds up quickly doesn't it.

Hobbs long line sweater (best purchase I've worn it often including now)
Hobbs strippy tee shirt (for spring)
new bra fom John Lewis (I look like a whole new woman)
Hush knitted jacket
Hush lattice stitch tunic
Fly London shoes on sale at Amazon -- I will narrow down to one maybe 2
A dress from Cos
White Company Dress that has been ordered but has not yet arrived

Fascinating!
Having read all your buys, Makes me think I have been very good this year after all.
Have a hankering for some All saints gladiators, an all saints jumper & top. Like their leggings too.
Also fancy the Boden skinny Jeans
Total cost £400 approx. Ouch!

I really like the Hobbs striped t-shirts. In fact, I think I'll add one of them to my 'gaps which need filling' list!

Which Hobbs jumper did you get?

pastgrace !!!! Is it you who bought the snake skin bag that was obviously nott snakeskin but embossed leather that got some people all flustered! Thought that was fab thread!v tempted to buy bag myself!

If you could all add links we could all pend more !NOooooooo!

Am liking Lund of Zara watercolour to(can't find it)
All the Great Plains stuff
raggydoll which Chanel foundation? No do don't tell me!

One dress for work in sale from Marks

However an obscene amount of money on an evening dress for school prom!
But I look fabulous so I had to have it!

I have not bought much... yet:

one Zara cardigan
one Damart thermal camisole
two pairs of knickers
two MN scarves (one was a present).

4 dresses (Great Plains, Wallis)

drywhite, if you haven't had a carb since last summer then you bloody well deserve some nice new things (presumably to go with nice new trim bod?).

I have bought:

Merino opaques M+S
2x White Company knitted dresses, 1 navy, 1 charcoal marl
Ash Jessbis ankle boots to go with above tights and dresses
Lush henna

Would love another pair of jeans - 3 of my current everyday ones have just ripped through at knees (playing on floor w kids) and I destroyed another pair with bleach whilst cleaning!

theseventhdwarf - have you tried amazon, that's where I got mine, they came in a day and a half too!
