For work:

Boden pencil skirt - £27, which was 50% off
Cos grey jumper - £23, hasn't arrived yet

Not for work:
Whistles black jersey blazer - £55 down from £95
Russell & Bromley cross body bag - £95 down from £145
White Company navy Jersey maxi skirt, £30 and silk top, half price at £55
& Other Stories black knee length dress, half price at £25, hasn't arrived yet

What I would ideally like are one or two midi dresses/skirts. Not sure what I want exists though Confused. I very much wish I had dressmaking skills.

MyVegasBaby · 28/12/2014 09:09

All shopping online for me so far so eagerly awaiting it's arrival. Haven't bought many clothes from Next for ages but have a bit of a haul coming from them, pjs, skinny jeans, boots and a few cashmere and merino bits. Also quite a bit for DC. Also a jumper and jeans from Whistles. Tempted by a few Mint Velvet bits but awaiting further reductions!

HappyGirlNow · 28/12/2014 14:14

Oh I also got that jacket lurking - had my eye on it for ages but wasn't paying the original price for it!

lurkingaround · 28/12/2014 14:44

It was well reduced wasn't it HappyGirl? It's not in Zara's nature to reduce so well so I was wondering.... Hopefully it's nice on.

DaftSkunk · 28/12/2014 14:51

I bought these for work. Just waiting for them to arrive....

Spidergirl8 · 28/12/2014 15:04

I bought the Zara jacket too. I bought in online but when in store yesterday there were lots left. Most had lots of threads coming off. I pulled a couple and think that they could be trimmed, but there is a chance that the unfinished hems were done on the cheap and may not stop fraying. I'm going to pull at the hems when it arrives and if it looks vulnerable will send back.

HappyGirlNow · 28/12/2014 15:07

lurking I've seen it occasionally when they've ridiculously overpriced an item and no-one is buying! I suspected that's what would happen here and that's why I held on until the sales... And it's paid off..

Grin yay

Apatite1 · 28/12/2014 15:15

I bought a space NK and a tocca candle both half price. I'll tell you about the many other hundreds I've spent once ive stopped spending!!

silversixpence · 28/12/2014 23:09

Went to the shops today, liked a few things in Mint Velvet but still priced quite high so will see if there are further reductions. Lots of nice cashmere around but I have too much already.

I've bought (online mostly)
Cosy dressing gown from john lewis
Ruby and Ed slippers
Laura mercier body butter and a body oil spray
Ugg Gershwin boots

Think that's it for me, unless the laura mercier patisserie set miraculously becomes available somewhere Hmm

There were laura mercier body creme sets in space NK in fulham when I went yesterday, silver.

JaceLancs · 29/12/2014 00:08

Day 1 tried desperately to find something but came home with an ironing board and 4 hand towels - must try harder!
Day 2 black high heeled ankle boots, black sweater dress, and another dress
Day 3 returned other dress, bought a navy sweater dress and a blue slouchy jumper
Took DS with me on day 3 (mistake) he found coat, shoes, man bag, trousers and 4 shirts!!!! I lent him the funds as he recently started his first graduate job, hence needing wardrobe help, and won't get paid till end of Jan
Stopped me spending anymore though

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 29/12/2014 12:57

Ok, so another wee splashette

SpaceNK - Laura Mercier travel sized make up brushes, half price (for me) and another one of her body/bath sets (for mum's birthday in a couple of weeks).

Yankee Candle - a couple of large jars and a plug in thing (birthday again)

I'm going to have to hide my purse and lock myself out of PayPal Hmm

Apatite1 · 29/12/2014 14:02

I need a hooded down coat with a flattering fit, has anyone seen a good one in the sale?

maybemyrtle · 29/12/2014 17:28

I've been quite restrained! I wanted a work dress, a weekend skirt and a neutral light scarf. I have purchased:
Cos printed shirt dress
Massive light grey gauzy wool scarf and selection of candles from TK Maxx
Deep red merino knit dress from Muji
Pleather skirt from M&S
Muubaa leather jeans - if asos ever send them
Biker skinnies from Sainsbos

Also ordered another Cos dress that has gone back, and the leather jeans probably will too when they arrive.

lurkingaround · 29/12/2014 19:46

My Zara jacket arrived and it's a definite non runner. Back it went.

But the grey top is good. And the better news is that I picked up the black version of the grey top in store and it's really nice! Sits better than the grey wool one. Love it.

MaryMarigold · 29/12/2014 20:10

Light grey lambswool jumper from M&S for £14.50
Ugg Grandle in Java down from £160 to £120 bought with Xmas money

Greengardenpixie · 29/12/2014 20:13

Boden lois skirt bargain at £20!!!

  • did annoy me to pay postage though!
W.Stuff skirt and top in a lovely purple colour. I need to stop NOW!!!
HappyGirlNow · 29/12/2014 21:25

Aw what's wrong with the jacket lurking ?

threepiecesuite · 29/12/2014 21:57

I'm new to Mint Velvet - got my eye on the charcoal coatigan - it's £79 down from £109 but do they tend to reduce further?
