What have you bought this month? [FEBRUARY 2014]

On another forum I used to frequent there was a monthly 'What have you bought?' thread. It was absolutely amazing for help finding new things to buy! I'm in desperate need of inspiration so hoped you'd all think this is a fun idea and hop on in to leave links to your purchases throughout Feb...

Quiet so far for me this year.

Selling a few valuable things on eBay this week so may treat myself to this Coach bag. Can't decide - mahogany or tan?

These harem pants from Next to be worn with a simple tank top and chunky gold jewellery in summer:

Sotired i prefer the tan version of that bag. It's lovely Grin

WillColbert · 03/02/2014 22:53

Great idea.

So far I have bought this phase 8 wrap dress

www.phase-eight.co.uk/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=202456050&redirect=true

I'm trying to decide whether I can wear it with ankle boots.

ELR · 03/02/2014 22:57

A low ankle boot or shoe boot would work

WillColbert · 03/02/2014 23:02

Forgot to say that I really like the coach bag too - I'd probably go for tan.

WillColbert · 03/02/2014 23:09

Thanks ELR.

Floisme · 04/02/2014 08:11

A White Stuff shirt Grin I know, I know, style crime but listen, it's very fitted, 100% cotton, lovely and soft and the colour really suits me so nerr.

Here it is: www.whitestuff.com/ls-garden-power-shirt-prod406149_sft_btroot/
I got another one last month too in a dark, blueberry colour. (And a lace skirt in the sale but I'm not mentioning that.)

OK I'll go now.

I've just thought this and this.

DaftSkunk · 04/02/2014 11:46

Dontletthemgetyoudown · 04/02/2014 11:53

nothing yet, I really need some new clothes, mine are mostly ill fitting due to weight loss, but not quite yet into next size down. I was all set for a big ordering session when the bill came in for DS2's school trip and need £200 by next week. So looks like will be frugal February by default (was also his birthday Friday just gone)

Apatite1 · 04/02/2014 11:59

That jewellery for Etsy is lovely. Have you ordered from this company before. Am tempted.

FoxyHarlow123 · 04/02/2014 13:20

I bought these trousers for work www.riverisland.com/women/trousers--leggings/slim-trousers/Blue-contrast-trim-cigarette-pants-645778

And this jumper for slobbing. It's more relaxed and softer than it looks in the pic www.riverisland.com/women/knitwear/jumpers/Navy-stripe-V-neck-oversized-jumper-648611

I also bought some £400 shoes but I returned them cos I couldn't stand the guilt!!

Oh and a sports bra.

I bought two Joules dresses, a long-sleeved tee-shirt, long cardigan and snug, warm coat from Fat face, in January, I was not going to buy anything in Feb! Ha Ha! 2nd Feb went shopping and bought a navy cropped trench coat in Gap, perfect for the Spring. Blush. Came home and ordered a fab Joules onesie online! No more Grin
