What have you bought this month? [FEBRUARY 2014]

117 replies

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?

I bought this from Monki and had loads of nice comments today when I wore it to work with a navy crew neck. Mind you, it is a midi length so I rolled it up a bit as I prefer just slightly above the knee.

A whopping one thing for me this month - a cream Chan Luu scarf from here when they had an offer on earlier this month. I love my two Chan Luus, they are my favourite scarves by miles.

I am feeling frumpy, lumpy and sleep deprived with a six week old baby so I'm trying to refresh my wardrobe and remember what I wore before maternity clothes:

Chevron maxi skirt

Anglomania dress

Ash Trainers

Tory Burch leopard pumps

Baukjen Westbourne dress

ASOS orchid print kimono

ASOS nude blazer

I bought modern muse as well! I think this one might be a hit for Estée Lauder.

I am amazed at how much some of you have bought Shock not judging, just made me realise I am rubbish at buying things for myself.

I have bought Modern Muse perfume by Estée Lauder - it's lovely!
And a dress from New Look for £10, ready for my holiday in April.

New bra and matching panties from Victoria's Secret. (Recently had a fitting and discovered I was wearing the wrong bra size!)

Three shirts and three belts - last time I tucked in a shirt was the 1980's!! Got lots of compliments. People didn't realize I had a nice figure since I was always wearing this hang out blouses and shirts that have been "in" for so long.

I bought these to replace my Converse for spring.

I'm trying to make one considered purchase a month, and my Converse are falling apart so it was easy to decide to go for a new pair of trainers this month.

I bought some knickers from Top Shop, black leggings also Top Shop, knickers from Uniqlo and black leggings from there. Striped top from H&M for mum. Oh and leopard print Boden bargain boots and black jeans Leigh from top shop and blue and navy spotted oasis jumper! Navy lace top shop socks! Oh and pretty polly opaque tights black.

Thought I hadn't got much.... Smile

I did have a UTI and accidents Blush hence the leggings and knickers one time and also stayed over another time so more leggings and knickers and socks. Otherwise I needed new leggings and like the uniqlo knickers.
