If you had £200 to spend on clothes what would you buy and where would you buy it?

[Enid]

I do

I suppose I need to get a pair of jeans (yawn)

what would you get?

enid - you need both kinds of boot - go on, treat yourself

I still have the Boden coat but it's not a winter one really - it's thin and it's more dressy or summery.

I'd get some really nice trendy jeans and probably some new knee length boots.

farraday - wow! amazing clothes. pity you can't buy online.

I would NEVER spend £150 on sunglasses even if I had the money

unless they were prescription ones

I would go to matalan and get jeans, skirt, some tice tops, a winter coat and a pair of boots!!! grin]

OH bought me some Prada sunglasses & now all the cheaper ones just feel uncomfortable. Having said that they have lasted for 3 years now, whereas before that I was buying 1-2 cheap pairs a year due to them breaking so it hasn't really worked out much more expensive.

I do have a cheap pair for running but they sometimes fall off so need to be cheap. I did wear the expensive ones in the pool in Spain though.

The label doesn't really bother me as my hair covers that up, it's more how they look & fit & these were the best fit at the time.

I wouldn't spend £150 on sunglasses, either.

I'd buy them in the States for half the money.

Boots, shoes or a handbag, probably Russell & Bromley

Now there's a thought. Next time he could give my plane tickets to NY so I could choose some myself for half the price!!

Really don't see what the big deal is though. Everyone has treats/gifts sometimes.

Europe has them cheaper, too, Blondy. Good excuse for a little holiday, too.

If I had £200 to spend on clothes, however, I'd get a couple of pairs of smart wool trousers.

Probably just get OH to pick some up on one of his trips.

Does anyone hide their purchases from their OHs? Does this happen in RL of just in books? I know a few people who have passed new things off as "old" things & got away with it. Just curious.

My sister hides things.

I don't.

I don't either, only if it's a present for him!

I wore a new jacket yesterday and I could see dh looking at me like he wasn't sure if he had seen the jacket before and should he say anything. Quite funny really. I have a bag at the back of the wardrobe at the mo, just waiting for the weather to be a bit cooler to get the new stuff out. "I bought ot on ebay for next to nothing" is usually what I say.

My sister goes to great lengths to hide things.

BUT, she is a bit of a clothes horse and she's got an Imedla Marcos streak a mile wide.

Oh yes, I do hide, or rather not mention them. I often don't tell him the full price. Strange, coz he is so honest with me

what serendipity!
I DO have 200 notes to spend on myself, well 196 actuall - that's 500 AUD, and I 'm going to doing it on Tuesday and boots are top of my list, can anyone help me cut my shopping time down and post me some nice links please
