Anyone interested in a 'what we are buying'wearing' thread for those of us who love clothes but have a New Look/Dorothy Perkins/Primark/HM budget?

[MimikosPanda]

I love following some blogs and I liked lurking on the AW threads but I can never afford the clothes, shoes and bags that are talked about. I love looking at different styles and then have the challenge of trying to find a cheaper look on the cheaper end of the high street. I'd love to hear what others are finding to give me some ideas.
One of the blogs I follow is doesmybumlook40.blogspot.co.uk, I love Kat's style and whilst she has the odd bit from Primark or H&M there is a lot of Toast, Massimo Dutti, Jigsaw, Whistles and these are just too expensive for me.
So, does anyone fancy sharing tips on good finds on the budget highstreet?

I usually live in these jeans from New Look. They're so comfy and wash really well.

Now with the actual summer starting I'm struggling with work stuff...
I work in an office, and dress code is kind of smart/casual. I would usually wear dress pants, with a top and cardy, or tea dresses with black opaques, flats and a cardy!
All of my summer clothes either seem to be either too casual (jeans and vests) or too dressy (little dresses/skirts/shorts)
