I bought this Vila dress which arrived today, it's gorgeous. Very simple but 'my' colour and perfect for summer in a silky fabric with some sandals next on list Lots of nice Vila stuff on Asos, might give their stuff a try more often.

Show me some tasty links of stuff you've bought recently and love please?

My dress arrived and is gorgeous! More of a stone colour than grey. Think I need to go buy a new navy blazer to go over it. Wink

Sorry Woolly, I didn't read your post before I posted. Yes, I am magic with money bank manager says no. I can't remember the exact calculations, but there was the initial saving, some haggling and some other baubles I didn't buy because I bought the first one . That most spectacular purchase was pre-dh, so he loves telling people about how thrifty I used to be Grin

Went for my first personal shopper day recently and really splurged out (I don't buy a lot of stuff usually!) so bought this:

(looks better on than in the picture - honest!)

The word factory beautiful dress and shoes, lovely colour!

MyVegasBaby · 08/05/2015 20:41

Picked the jumpsuit up and it's fab, really nice!

ClaraDeLaNoche · 08/05/2015 20:47

Hey Vegas, yes it is fairly short. I'm 5"7. It's strictly summer hols night time only! Really like the jumpsuit.

ClaraDeLaNoche · 08/05/2015 20:49

And sizing is big, for once. Lovely sleeves. Kanye how is the sizing re boobage on yours x

MyVegasBaby · 08/05/2015 21:02

Thanks Clara, I'm a bit shorter so might have a try.

KanyesVest · 09/05/2015 00:03

The top is definitely fitted! I'm a 30/32f (as per intervention Wink) generally a 10, and it closes fine but I can't breathe too deeply! It's more noticeably snug around my lower ribs, but then I do have big ribs for my frame.

KanyesVest · 09/05/2015 00:16

I ordered the small in the dress.

confusedcareergirl · 09/05/2015 08:48

J Brand jeans (from TK Maxx £59). They are the most comfortable jeans I have ever put on!

A Diane Von Furstenburg dress - £100 TK Maxx. Would not normally spend that much but it is my hen do soon so I thought I'd treat myself. It is quite a classic style so hoping I can get lots of wear out of it - will probably end up wearing it to work eventually.

Two Cloth and Stone shirts which I will wear with jeans / shorts over the summer. Again TK Maxx £35 each.

I am trying to focus on buying good quality, classic pieces that I will wear lots and will last ages.

Pony74 · 09/05/2015 12:29

I just bought the grey leather mint velvet jacket. Can't wait for delivery day Grin

ClaraDeLaNoche · 09/05/2015 12:43

Thanks Kanye. Oh man I did an x at the end of my post last night. Worried I will be thrown out.

mooth · 10/05/2015 09:13

pony I wore my new grey leather jacket (with suede inserts) last night for the first time, really loved it, felt great in it.

AWimbaWay · 11/05/2015 14:06

LeoandBoosmum, I got the black, I'm normally a small 4 or 37, I got a 4 and I've added an insole as they did feel a tiny bit big, so I'd say size down.

SuperFlyHigh · 11/05/2015 14:21

these joggers in khaki, black and just ordered in a blue print... so comfy and the plain ones are slimming.

Yellow top can dress up and down and brings out my blonde hair apparently.

floral top - versatile and bright.

The grey/stone dress.. How short is it?

TheWordFactory · 11/05/2015 18:31

This was delivered today www.meandem.com/longline-blazer-peacock.

It's a lovely fit.

KanyesVest · 11/05/2015 21:08

Mumstudent I'm 5ft 2 and it sits just at the top of my knee. It's quite full though, so my thunder knees are nicely disguised!

Pony74 · 11/05/2015 22:44

mooth lucky you. Mine arrived today and it didn't suit me at all Sad I looked like someone going to a Michael Jackson convention. Mine was a size 14 though so maybe to much detail for a big bird.

LeoandBoosmum · 12/05/2015 14:48

SJR38: Nice blouse but £85 for 100% polyester seems so unreasonable, even if the cut and pattern is very pretty.

LeoandBoosmum · 12/05/2015 14:52

AWimbaWay: that's really helpful, thanks! :)
