Mine are:

Gucci disco bag in navy - I shamelessly copied Decameron and spent an afternoon on the phone in order to acquire it. Oh how I love it - perfect size, using it everyday.

Frame garcon jeans - have them in the distressed rinse and also the white - haven't worn the latter yet but am lookng forward to doing so.

What about you?

Great thread! Looking forward to seeing everyones purchases Smile

DD is 3 months so I'm still a bit larger than normal so not bought anything big clothes wise so mine are:

DP Eden jeggings in dark navy - very comfy and flattering on the mum tum.

Lightweight parka from Sainsburys - great for summer.

Hopefully will lose the tummy soon and be inspired to buy some summer purchases.

BillStickersIsInnocent · 08/04/2014 18:12

An off white Ilse Jacobsen rain coat. Totally impractical colour but half price and completely waterproof and has a hood. Very happy with that.

Also a pair of pink and orange suede Stylesnob ballet shoes. They make me happy and are so comfortable.

ADifferentKindOfMum · 08/04/2014 18:23

amber please link the suit. Can't stretch to P&J just now but would still like to see it.

AmberNectarine · 08/04/2014 19:30

Here it is, it is Sister so a bit less spendy.

ManAliveThisThingsFantastic · 08/04/2014 19:44

Selma Grommet Satchel from Michael Kors, I love it and it is the perfect size for me.

A pair of Kat Maconie wedge heels, worn them to death!

foolssilver · 08/04/2014 20:14

Love the playsuit Amber, wish I had the legs for it!

Googled your bag Mrscampbellblack, I love it!!! I am in the market for a crossbody bag in Navy. Been looking at an Alexa but the talk of decrease in Mulberry quality has put me off so far. Not bought from Mulberry since a Roxanne ages ago.

TheJumped · 08/04/2014 20:22

I linked to the Disco on a thread ages ago (Toasted Teacakes on a similarly shaped Hobbs number - think she ended up getting a Chloe Marcie) and then a load of MNVers bought it! Sad My taste is sadly not matched by my budget - I tried to not buy anything for a whole year to afford it and failed miserably

Anyway my top purchases this year so far -

M and S 5 pocket jeggings in the darkest navy denim - the perfect superskinny mid rise dark jean, great with heels for 'out'

Le Pliage - my birthday pressie from DH, so so handy. The large shopper one in taupe.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/04/2014 20:31

Boots

Jeans Am loving the 1980s-ness of these!

FauxFox · 08/04/2014 20:48

Some bargain Benetton jeans in an odd size that happens to fit me perfectly from tk max (£12.99!!)

Small White gold hoop earrings for everyday.

A nike baseball hat for running (though that was a Mother's Day gift so not really a purchase)

libertychick · 08/04/2014 20:58

Found my long sought for perfect work bag in TKMaxx. Have used it every working day since I bought it.

Really pleased with this Boden Mac and it was a steal - £38 reduced from £169 in clearance

Really looking forward to summer and wearing this Allium B dress

frankietwospots · 08/04/2014 21:30

In terms of what I've worn over and over:

This skirt from Monki: www.monki.com/Shop/Sale_Bottoms#dialog-1

I've worn it loads to work with a navy crew neck knit, a neon necklace from H&M, navy opaques and brogues. I always get comments when I wear it.

These super skinny khakis from Gap which I've got in navy and olive when they had 30% off:

This navy and white striped knit from Gap which I got in the sale: www.gap.co.uk/browse/product.do?cid=1003818&vid=1&pid=000941395000

frankietwospots · 08/04/2014 21:31

Almost forgot my slim boyfriend jeans from DP which I've worn to death! Just bought them in the faded version too: www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=boyfriend+jeans&storeId=12552&productId=13945054&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33053

Short collared summer weight jacket by Oui, gorgeous details.

Original sales tag £199 - for £17 TKmaxx Shock

Mrswellyboot · 08/04/2014 21:40

I've discovered that bootcuts are not for me and have bought several cigarette style trousers along with slacks

Also max factor invisible touch 3 in 1 foundation is so quick and great coverage

Bought a beautiful black dress and shirt in monsoon but just got a bpf so may be next year when I get the value

Also went back to st tropez tan.. Worth the £££

Specialbrew · 08/04/2014 23:51

For me white leather Nike blazer lows, (so.comfy) and a navy thick cotton boiler suit from YMC.

I also got a pair of matte black Ray Ban new wayfarers for my birthday which I complete love

I love the Gucci disco bags too, but bought a Chanel 2.55 bag last year, so can't justify another bag. Ever.

netty36 · 09/04/2014 06:54

A cute spotty denim dress from boden
Mint velvet grey skinnies, mist flattering jeans ever
Some brown fly boots
A links of London sweetie bracelet

Floisme · 09/04/2014 07:14

This H&M skirt. I love the silhouette. It's fuller than it looks on here and also below the knee because I'm short. www.hm.com/gb/product/23088?article=23088-A#article=23088-

The Whistles double layer tube skirt in navy, discussed many times.

Spanx pants from TK Maxx Smile

Specialbrew · 09/04/2014 07:19

netty I'm looking for some new grey skinnies to replace my Uniqlo ones. What are the Mint Velvet ones like?

The Uniqlo ones have been great, super skinny and tapered at the ankle, don't bag, and are only now starting to look a bit worn after 3 years.

What do you like about your new ones?

SilkStalkings · 09/04/2014 10:53

class="underline">knitwear->-jumperstops->-batwing-tops/size/14_12.html Batwing T-shirt from Peacocks this week, gorgeous dusty blue colour and proper big, drapey neck for less than a tenner. I'm going to buy 2 more!Grin

Hopefully · 09/04/2014 11:12

YMC skate shoes. I have worn them about every other day since buying them.

HazleNutt · 09/04/2014 12:40
