In need of inspiration. Got some money to spend but of course not seen much that I like in the shops at the momen! Please show me something you've bought recently that you love.

Thank you!

I am very pleased with my new sunglasses.

sumoweeble · 06/04/2015 23:00

What kind of things are you after?

TobikkoRoll · 06/04/2015 23:50

I bought this skirt recently and I'm waiting for the weather to be warmer before I wear it. (I'm neither tall nor skinny like the model, but I loved the skirt when I tried it on, so it has to be done!)

What kind of thing(s) are you hoping for OP?

Bought this card wallet today, haven't used it yet but I can tell I'll use it all the time to carry my cards, will make swapping between bags easy too

These boots:

They are gorgeous, really comfy and good for making the 'spring transition' between heavy boots and pumps/sandals.

Sorry...

I give up!! They are grey pointy Chelsea boots with a smallish heel. V nice.

Bought this skirt last week. It is really versatile and can be worn with converse and a sweatshirt or with a nice top and stilettos. The top surface is white and the undersurface is red, giving the illusion of being pink.

I'm pregnant and just bought this lovely midi dress from the Gap sale. Hopefully it doesn't make me look like a whale. Plan to wear it with strappy Topshop clogs and bare legs now it's a bit warmer.

I've had a bit of a floral / patterened run ready for summer. I've recently brought these trousers which are super comfy
this jacket
and also this jacket

HappyGirlNow · 07/04/2015 16:49

This dress for my next holiday Grin

I bought this cardigan from Zara a couple of weeks ago and have been living in it! The material feels lovely even after a few washes so far. Although only the 4th photo down seems to do it any justice! I'm tempted to get it in the other colours now, too! Grin

Love threads like this cos I'm a right nosey cow. I received this today and love it. I got it in the ivory but am going to get the blue too. Will look fab with dark denim flares and tan platform heels.

Lots of lovely things.

I don't really NEED anything which is part of the problem but would like a new spring jacket- not leather as already have a biker but maybe a bomber or another light weight jacket- anyone bought a nice one of those recently?

The floral kimono style top from new look linked by sweetheart looks lovely but guessing it's more of a cardi than a jacket?

Also tempted by some new sunglasses and would like a new spring dress and some closed toe sandals or wedges (to keep my ugly toes hidden!)

Got these simple t-bar wedges, flattering jeans and this sleeveless top all from Next.

Have put on best part of a stone in the last couple of months and needed a few spring bits to see me through loosing it in time for summer, so wasn't looking for anything stunning, just flattering, comfortable and adaptable without looking too much like the frumpy old lady I feel!

frankietwospots · 08/04/2015 09:02

Re: Spring jackets - I'm collecting this one later from Next. I have high hopes! www.next.co.uk/g302088s6#102517g30
