I went to a charity sale today and (amongst other things) bought these boots which I have been hankering after for a while, and they were 90% off .

What have you bought this weekend?

OMG Amber those Cobra boots have been on my wish list for such a long time. I went to an AW12 footwear trade fair last year and saw them there, you are one lucky gal!

This weekend, I bought:

Skater style full pale gold sequin dress - to be worn under my oversized marl grey sweatshirt and with suede ankle boots
Black coated skinny jeans
Black slipper cut flats with silver studs
Nude pink chunky knit cable cardigan
Grey chunky jumper with dipped hem (this might have to go back as too itchy)
Dark grey, navy and olive camo print skinnies
Half a dozen cotton tops with dipped back hems for layering in grey, stone, olive and black

I actually went to buy a Zara coat, but alas, nothing left in my size, also sold out online and they are going for £60 more than the store price on eBay.

Were your flats from Office by any chance LeChat? I was admiring them yesterday. Glad somebody appreciates my boots!

Not the Office ones, actually these.

How do you plan on styling your new boots?

AmberNectarine · 22/10/2012 19:15

I bought an asymmetric Helmut Lang maxi that they look awesome with, but they also look fierce with skinnies or a denim mini. With anything basically!

I bought a gorgeous jumper dress from peacocks and black biker boots from new look perfect

Aaargh, bloody iPad, just lost my post with links. Will try again.

So not the weekend but whilst I was out today Mr Yodel was kind enough to leave a box from Johnnie inside my back door. In my quest to find the perfect jumper dress (or it's equivalent) I ordered 3 to try from Boden when they had the COTD offers last week. And, oh dear, I could be in big trouble as I am finding it hard to choose Shock!

One in grey - gorgeous on, warm and oh so cosy. I could happily live in this. Perhaps a little big so have since ordered an 8 for comparison. Also ordered it in navy but it's not a nice navy ... reminds me of my school jumpers!! So, onwards and upwards to ..

Two ... again, ordered grey. Different shape to número uno but by jingoes, it was also really nice on. Uh oh, pulled out ...

Three. Completely different in style and much shorter, more casual. Lovely rich aubergine colour and yep, it suited. Reviewers are wearing with jeans and leggings, not sure if it's a little short for leggings on me but would be equally nice with black skinny skinnies.

Sigh. Big sigh. DH was so impressed he recommended keeping all Shock. Maybe a bit too Boden-y if I do that. Although, leaving budget out of it, if they were three different brands I probably would be very tempted to keep all .

Tried them on with ankle boots I bought a fortnight ago but which are languishing unworn in their box as I have nothing to wear them with. Not a bad look if I can be brave enough to put my ultra skinny legs on show. They'll look equally good with long boots.

So, mega impressed by Johhnie today which is a turn for the books Grin.
