How can I replenish my wardrobe for next to nothing?

Hello,

I'm in need of a style injection, but it needs to be cheap as chips (maybe cheaper). I'm just fed up of looking like a student in my hoodies and jeans. My friend has given me a few bits which have helped masses, but I feel like I need one or two more things.

I would like some boots to possibly wear with skinnys, but I'm a little lost in what to get. I don't do heels and I don't like OTT stuff. I also need the skinnies. My area isn't great for shopping, so internet based is ok.

How can I go about this, I don't need loads, just a few pieces that I can mix and match. They also need to withstand roughing around with my toddler.

I'm tall and a sz 10 - 12 BTW, no real body issues apart from I think I have broad shoulders. I also don't like revealing stuff, so I tend to the more conservative looks.

Can anyone help with a few links? I know the above sounds a bit broad, but I'm just struggling at the moment.

Thanks.

Ebay or charity shops - or find out if there is a swishing event near you - you can swap clothes for free at these

I already do swishing sweetheart, I've found a few nice things that way. Charity shops are hopeless round my way.

Primark skinnies are good. They are £8.

Do you have a Primark near you? Bet place for cheap scarves which you can use to make plain tops look different each day.

I would then suggest Isabella Oliver - long sleeve T maternity T-shirts - get them on ebay though! Believe me - the jersey is dead springy so it will look ruched not baggy. It washes really well too. A white and black one with different scarves would give you lots of different options.

Clarks are good for comfortable boots - but not much online now as it's out of season. There are a few on ebay if you are confident of your size these are similar to the pair I am living in.

I spend an age on ebay - if you don't like something you can always sell it on...
