What have you bought since Xmas?

I'm interested in what others have bought and I'm never sure if I buy relatively little or lots!

I bought 2 tops in the Next sale just after Xmas, one is navy with a sequinned front and the other is burnt orange and black, I think I spent £10 each, I wear them mainly at weekends in the day.

A navy and white striped tunic from Sainsbury's, reduced to £6. Again weekend day wear.

A cobalt blue shift dress from Monsoon £59, I have worn for work and for going out for dinner.

A pair of Kurt Geiger boots, were £240 but they didn't have them in my size in the sake and I got them for £90 on eBay.

A plain white top to wear as a base layer and then a sloppy navy top with a coloured fleck to wear over it, total cost approx £40 and again weekend wear.

A yellow Therapy midi dress reduced to £10.50, not worn yet, I'm keeping it for summer.

I was v frugal last year with clothes buying but feel like I might be going the other way now!

A red cheque shirt from new look for £4.50.

A green cheque shirt from h&m, I think it was £7.

A teal Collection eyeliner for about £2.

Rommel perfect match foundation for £5.

Pretty boring, and mega cheap.

Not much, I usually get some stuff in the Next sale but there was nothing I wanted this time:

A pair of the thick black leggings from Sainsburys, indoor wear only!

A pair of vintage green and blue tartan Doc Marten boots from Ebay, they were £26 so a massive bargain. These are for gigs etc.

A pair of Brown Amilita Doc Martens with camo ribbon laces and print inside. £65 in the sale (half price). I have the black ones and they are ridiculously comfortable once worn in

I'm sure there are other things but I can't remember

A black merino dress, black harem joggers and a navy fisherman ribbed jumper from Uniqlo - £10 each in sale

2x Rosie silk bras in M and S sale - £14 each, a nightie for £10

£60 at the Hush sample sale on about 4 dresses, 2 tube skirts, shorts and a couple of trousers and some jammies

£30 on two Zoe Karssen tees from TK Maxx

£30 on a silver bangle from Next

£80 on some maternity clothes from H and M - khaki biker skinnies, olive and black leopard print trousers, a navy boat neck jumper and a long black vest, a black maternity parka with furry hood

£9 on a silky tomato red top from Zara which doesn't fit now but will be lovely post pregnancy with black trousers for work.

£140 on a Michael Kors red bag in sale - unnecessary but hugely cheering

Errr I think that's it, not great but I always shop a lot in the Jan sales and being pregnant means I do need new stuff mainly to cheer me up as it's so uncomfortable I have also splurged a bit on skincare and makeup and had a whole head of highlights done, so I haven't had a very frugal couple of months at all.
