What clothes have you bought yourself this year?

[whensitmyturn]

Just interested to see what everyone buys for themselves and what different clothes budgets people have.

We're trying to have a saving year so my list is pretty boring so far
Navy cowl neck jumper -
Black/ grey jumper -

Both from Dorothy Perkins in the sale at £7 each. Needed warmer work things!
Also need a black dress for work so that's next on my list and had to throw away my beloved black ankle boots so need to replace them too.

Spent about £50 in Asda this week cos I've got fatter and nothing fits 😭😭

Plain tops and black trousers and a couple of basic dresses

John Smedley red merino wool jumper in the sale
Superdry hoody for the gym
Hollister navy top from a charity shop still tagged
A cotton white t-shirt with a skull on - local boutique.
Next buy will be a new pair of ankle boots.

I forgot two Pearl and Earl tops

Well I really thought I had been quite good... BUT on reflection I have bought-
• 2 pairs Next skinny 360 jeans - great at holding in last bit of mum tum.
• Breton stripe jumper from & Other Stories
• Reiss cream silk top (vouchers)
• Jigsaw crimson cowl neck cotton jumper and grey cashmere ribbed jumper (vouchers)
• Fat face lounge wear trousers
• Brora cashmere striped sock and fair isle hand warmers
• Hobbs black Boucle a line mini skirt
• Massimo dutti grey ribbed silk / wool jumper
• Sweaty Betty thermal running leggings, merino running top and yoga top

No wonder there’s no room in my wardrobe....

Oh and I forgot,a red coat from country casuals for a tenner in a charity shop

So far this year I have bought a grey cashmere sweater, like for like to replace one I've worn constantly for three years.
Navy cotton-cashmere crew neck
Navy and white cotton long-sleeve T-shirts
2 checked flannel shirts, each £8. All these from Uniqlo.

I have bought and returned multiple pairs of jeans, the best of which is being tailored to my specification because they were the last and were cheap in the COS sales. I have another pair (different shape) on order; fingers crossed these fit, but they will have to be perfect as full price!

Planning ahead for summer, I have posh cream trousers to replace sad ones and a taffeta frock for a summer wedding and other party type events. Both came from a triennial sell everything left behind bargain hunt where expensive things I can't afford at full price go for about one-third the original price.

But that is basically it for this year.

2 American vintage cotton jumpers.
American vintage trench coat.
Lightweight down jacket - black.
All the above from Tk Maxx .
2 pairs Vionic ankle boots in sale.
2 pairs Fitflop sandals/trainers in sale.
Amanda Wakeley satin skirt from BrandAlley.
Lace edged vest tops from H&M.
Rather a lot but I just can’t wear uncomfortable shoes any more and the Vionic boots are my new discovery and so comfy.

Absolutely nothing at all..I went shopping on Saturday and found nothing at all. Was very disappointing.

Nothing. I have resolved not to buy any new clothes for the whole of 2018.

Few cashmere jumpers and Heattech tops from Uniqlo
Leather leggings and miniskirt, pyjamas, and Venice beach dress from Hush sample sale (about £600 of clothing for £180!)
AllSaints Bales biker jacket

A pretty floaty dress in the New Look Sale. I'm either going to look like a princess or a complete twat. I'm nervous for it to arrive!

5 £1-80 cami vests and a scarf from Primark.
Black jeans from Peacocks, as I've lost (!) my favourite ones and 2x polonecks £3 in the sale.
JL socks.
Stripy sweatshirt from charity shop.
Charity shop buys have been thin on the ground this year.

Full soft tracksuit lounge stuff from Tesco. DH has heart problems at the moment and we spend a lot of time in waiting rooms.
‘For Life’ DMs. £200 but they’ll replace/mend them forever so that’s fine with me.
A lovely woollen vintage dress from Laura Ashley via ebay.

Only fat person clothes 😳. Something I'm working on so I fit back into all of my old clothes...

bought in Oz:
Lovely long line tunic top
Wide leg flippy sort of material shorts
Swim shorts

In (UK):
Uniqlo lounge pants

Mine are quite random!

Ball dress (£59 down from £200

• Jenny Packham at Debenhams)

Grey shoe boots (£30, Debenhams)

Floral silk top, £50 down from £130 in Reiss.

I think I’ve bought some tights.

A nautical striped jersey dress, purple bamboo a line skirt, and 5 pairs of pretty polly pants. All from TK max in one blitz.

1 x Sports bra, 3 new everyday & any occasion bras, 2 x cheap big black black tshirts from New look (for aerobic exercise) and an expensive pair of trainers as didn’t have any and have bad feet.
That’s it until I drop a few dress sizes. Although really need some new knickers and gym socks.

Oh...I forgot...new Asics badminton shoes, I'm beyond pleased with them.

I've just had a baby 2 weeks ago so I've bought really exciting things: nursing bras and massive post-section pants. I also bought a navy spotty hoodie in the h&m sale. Now if you were to ask what I'd bought for the DC the list would be much much longer.

Had a small wardrobe refresh and got

Navy merino Guernsey jumper from Me&Em, lovely biiiig roll-neck with buttons down the side, was £184 but got it for £132 in the sale.

Cream and black striped poloneck in the sale from Me&Em £30 I think.

Black v-neck from Me&Em, sale again, £25.

Jigsaw sneakers (from the other S&B thread, where they were lived or hated), in navy, £98.

Silver slipper style flats, John Lewis £80.

Silk/cotton poloneck in navy from Jigsaw, £90.

Think that's it. I don't always wear navy, honest! (Although probably wear more than I should...).

Got my eye in a few other bits but will have to wait until next month now. Quite fancy a suede biker and am still searching for the perfect cardigan (grey, slimline boyfriend in a thin knit if anyone's got any bright ideas).

Bought a Vivienne Westwood wool scarf today, which I am very pleased with.
