Nipped to TK Maxx this afternoon and lucked out with bargains Grin I've not bought anything bar a Primark vest or T for ages so I am super excited to be the proud owner of a cream cotton cable knit Ralph Lauren jumper, a gorgeous soft white Ralph Lauren shirt, skinny pale wash denim cK jeans and random French brand white jeans and a fab pair of mirror sunglasses which are not a designer brand but the till lady gave me a fancy designer case for them free Grin chuffed!

What have you been buying? The weather is so pants there seems no point in summer clothes Confused

I have replaced a pair of sneakers that developed a hole (beyond repair), bought a pair of brocade smart jeans and a hoodie on sale that goes with winter and summer stuff.

I was feeling sorry for myself yesterday (having a mc) and so bought this top from Mint Velvet for autumn/winter.

So sorry stumbly Flowers
That is a beautiful top.

Brocade jeans sound nice sock I don't think I've seen them before.

I bought a dress which was reduced from £85 to £35. I'd spotted the dress 3 months ago, but I couldn't justify the price to myself, when I already had a similar dress at home (same style, brand and colour, but a different pattern) and I'd paid full price for that one!!!

Once the dress was reduced to £35, I snapped it up.

I also bought my first playsuit recently from Uniqlo for £15. I'm 5ft, so most play/jumpsuits fit in all the wrong places and I'm pleased I found one that fit.

Ooohh nice bargains. Tk maxx must be full of Ralph Lauren at the moment, I bought a long white linen dress by RL a few weeks ago. I just love a wee hoke in TK.
I'm also on the look out for autumn now as the weathers on the turn.

FauxFox · 29/07/2017 21:53

Ooh what a bargain chanie - I love when that happens Smile

I know maud I would never buy it full price but the quality is so nice it's a treat to find it in TK Maxx Smile I've had so many great finds in there over the years - it's probably my favourite shop of all!

Oh I ordered cashmere Brora Breton striped jersey in Chilli red in the sale at half price - still expensive but I am in love!

JaceLancs · 29/07/2017 22:17

2 linen dresses in east outlet today because I can't decide what colour - Dark turquoise or cerise pink
A stripy t shirt from jaeger outlet
Some undies from M & S outlet
You can tell where I've been today!
I also bought a suite as in sofa and 2 armchairs and am so excited as I wasn't even looking - but it was in a charity furniture warehouse and I already have a matching sofa!
Earlier in week I bought a top for work in M & S sale plus a cotton floral dress and a shirt from Debenhams also in sale
I've also bought quite a lot of clothing for DD for her 26th birthday in a couple of weeks

I didn't buy any summer clothes this year, so have allowed myself a splurge on work clothes for autumn/winter.

4 plain dresses from Boden - navy, black, teal and a deep pink I'm in two minds about (was trying to be a bit daring Grin).

2 black dresses from ASOS.

A lovely, charcoal grey pencil dress from Diva Catwalk.

3 cardis & lots of tights from Sainsbury's Tu.

A couple of pairs of ankle boots from Next.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/07/2017 22:36

Stumbly So sorry to hear that.

I've bought:
2 bras
pair of black wide legged cropped trousers - M&S
cotton/silk mix blouse - M&S
Joules Harbour top
2 black Boden dresses
black Boden t-shirt
denim shirt - charity shop
2 pairs of skinny jeans - M&S

Have given masses of stuff to the charity shop recently, so these were very much needed!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/07/2017 22:37

Oh and a black cardigan.

FauxFox · 29/07/2017 23:36

I've had a clear out too remus - just makes space to restock doesn't it Grin

I've bought blue straight jeans x2. I bought them while they were there, as I love the fit of them and if you put off buying things they, soon disappear, then you have non-buyers regret. I now have 3 pairs. I bought a dusty pink, loose fit, 3/4 length lacy sleeved top and some dark blue velvet-like, lace up plimsoles.

I'm now on the look out for an autumn jacket, but not sure what style.

I'm not a moocher so the thought of TK Maxx puts my head in a spin. Glad you found some fab gear OP.

Navy work dress from LK Bennett
Summer dresses x 2 from Boden

I have made a very exciting (to me) purchase, a Barbara hulanicki blouse from her topshop collection from 2009, unworn with tags still on. I was obsessed with this blouse when it came out but I couldn't afford it at the time and it promptly sold out, I have been scouring eBay for it ever since and this week one came up that wasn't hideously expensive ( I have seen them go for $300 and I got it for £25) I am stupidly excited for it to arrive. This is a picture of Mary Kate olsen wearing it

Maternity, look forward to getting into my skinny jeans and old clothes again hopefully

Donostia · 30/07/2017 08:10

I won't fit them yet (had a baby last month) but I bought real leather leggings for £30 on ebay! They're seconds but flawless to my eye.
