Just ordered this silk polka dot shirt. I saw it in store but lots of sizes had sold out.

WipsGlitter · 06/03/2014 07:24

I've given up a bit on clothes, but this month I bought a Boden Breton (20% off) its a super colour but its thinner than the last one I had. And a jumper from M&S which is actually really nice!!

WipsGlitter · 06/03/2014 07:26

I was also looking at the Great Plains site, they have some fab stuff reduced. I really need to lose weight though. Easier said than done.

Olddear · 06/03/2014 09:34

I am not long out of post maternity wear and my pre pregnancy clothes were all cheaply jobs and back to work in a few weeks so that's my excuse :)

Saurus72 · 06/03/2014 14:01

Whistles navy biker jacket with 25% discount code. Now chomping at the bit for a decent Hobbs discount code, to buy a dress and silk top. Have no intention of paying full price!

2 curvy kate bras from Brastop
tights from New look and primark

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 06/03/2014 16:39

I went to a boden party and was surprised at how different the clothes looked in real life to the internet. Much, much nicer. I could easily have bought a dozen things but just opted for

White cropped cardigan

www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Knitwear/Cardigans/WK941/Womens-Favourite-Cropped-Cardigan.html

And a top

Nike dri fit running tights, top and socks from Sports Direct. And God, I hate that shop!

Topshop navy cigarette style trousers
Topshop chartreuse wool boyfriend coat
Topshop denim tunic/dress

Am obviously having a topshop moment!

I think I love shopping more than anyone else

50shadesofmeh · 06/03/2014 18:23

A people tree navy shift dress
A people tree goodie bag which actually had some nice stuff in it
New pyjamas from debenhams
A Freya deco bra
Bliss clog dissolving cleaner
Some LRP effaclar duo plus
And Mac please me matte lipstick

EdBird · 06/03/2014 18:35

Molly jeggings are brilliant - have 4 pairs and hoping they will bring out summery colours.
Has anyone else got stuck in skinny trousers / jeans? after so long of them anything else seems too flappy around my legs :/
nude shirt H&M
new Vans
Keep looking at Nike Air Max - think I am too old (47) :(

sotiredfornow · 06/03/2014 19:03

frankietwospots - I'm keeping the boden mini - really love it. Can wear with a skinny brown belt and short sleeve tees or vests in summer then sweaters and tights/brogues in winter. I'm short (5'2) and it's a good length for me but I imagine too short on someone a lot taller. The fabric is described as jersey but it's not flimsy. It's quite structured which I like. Very good alternative to the tube skirts loved on here (don't suit my shape). Works for me. I like the stripe ones too!

hate shopping so i always order on the net and then send (most!) some of it back....my choices are pretty boring really, but the splurge is justified as not bought much of anything for about a year....

enormouse · 07/03/2014 11:46

These two yumi dresses: /Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3425595 blue bird print and red dress. Am trying to decide which to wear on my birthday next Saturday. Smile

I still want to get some boyfriend jeans and that's me done for now.

Also this asos blazer in asos' 48 hour sale. In the same sale I got Dp some new shirts and suit.

Ds1 has gotten a new coat (ted baker secondhand on ebay) and some new biker boots (clarks also eBay). He's thrilled as the coat is black with a red lining - just like Peter capaldis. Both DSs were also bought knitted stripy hoodies from the one world shop by dps mum.

AuntieMaggie · 07/03/2014 12:10

I bought the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and [[http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_157014900699_-1 this Loccitane set] as there was 10% off and triple beauty points to make up for the fact that I'm struggling to find maternity clothes Blush

lynniep · 07/03/2014 12:24

I just bought this for a photoshoot next week. I was going to be naughty and return it afterwards, but its so flattering (I'm a big gal) I can't possibly...
