I got this lightweight hoody from Jack Wills. It's light, but very cosy, warm and soft, love it! The colour suits me too. Weirdly I paid a bit less last week than it is currently on the site for.

Ponte dress from Uniqlo. Bought in 2 colours because I like it so much! Soft, flattering, perfect for the office with opaques and statement necklace!

A black, fitted, woollen Next coat, brand new for the princely sum of £6.99 from Oxfam.

Asda fleece in the sale for a fiver - it’s a gorgeous shade of pink & cheers me up.

GrannyRoberts I've been looking at those dresses for ages and dithering about whether to get one. They do look nice...

thecatfromjapan · 17/03/2018 00:11

this jumper AND/OR at John Lewis. It's very boxy and I love it. It's so cosy and it has a lovely cocoon shape. Smile

I have really enjoyed this thread! Not everything people have posted has been my style, but regardless I've enjoyed a nosey!

MickHucknallspinkpancakes · 17/03/2018 02:45

Two for me:

I usually buy Palmers coco butter moisturiser, but last week I bought the coconut oil version.

Such a huge difference!!! My dinoskin legs are now smooth and shiny and super soft. It's amazing and smells fabulous.

I had my eye on the Jigsaw Stevie leather rucksack when my cheap PU Zara one fell to pieces. Wasn't sure if it was worth £199, found one on EBay and bid for £60 and won. Never used.

It's really nice and I'm so glad I don't have that "tote being knocked off my shoulder 100 tines" going on, on my train journey every morning.

@LuxuryWoman2017 I've also just bought a coach bag and I absolutely love it! The colour is oxblood and it's a purple/maroon/brown colour - gorgeous. Which style did you get?

LuxuryWoman2017 · 17/03/2018 07:52

@jelly10
Mines the Prairie Satchel. It's just lovely. Beautiful colour.oxblood is a great colour. I love Coach bags.

Pinklady1981 · 17/03/2018 08:31

Brought City Radiance Bourjois light foundation,it's lovely and smells gorgeous too! Also some Bourjois blusher. From Dorothy Perkins some jeans,they are on promo at the mo,buy one pair and get second pair for £10.Smile

GrannyRoberts · 17/03/2018 09:03

PrivateParkin I think the dresses are lovely, and have had lots of compliments on them! They do come up shorter than on the model, more like the mannequin picture (I'm 5'6") but that suits my body shape better anyway. They are so comfy and flattering. If in doubt size up as they are quite fitted. I'm an 8-10 and the M fits me perfectly.

Oh dear, reading this thread with coffee in bed has meant a £100 spend at Seasalt, just too easy. Love the look of the Pascoe shies gor the orange as sadly pink is out of stock. This is my happy but recently as been hunting a new bad for a while.

Appin the Whistles shirt is lovely but it's an outrageous price for polyester and dry clean as well.

I bought an &Daughter cardigan from Yoox for less than £100 it's made in Ireland beautiful quality and a bargain.

Origamoo · 17/03/2018 10:02

Small I love the look of those M&S shoes, I think I might copy too. No point buying clothes at the moment at 6 months pregnant but shoes are allowed!

Origamoo · 17/03/2018 10:03

Argh Rainin I really like that Next bag too, think I’d better leave the thread Grin

PrivateParkin · 17/03/2018 13:34

@GrannyRoberts thanks v much! I've ordered the grey one.

Kelsoooo · 17/03/2018 13:36

Technically I was gifted it, but a Nexxus shampoo, conditioner and serum set (yay for reps)..... my hair feels amazing.

icklekid · 17/03/2018 14:15

@vegancatlover glad you like it!

epiphanytime · 17/03/2018 14:18

Love this thread...but I feel like my wallet is going to take a battering this week as a result 😳

Soyalatteforme · 17/03/2018 18:29

Thirtyrock39 · 17/03/2018 20:09

I've just ordered the OPs jack wills hoody

Thirtyrock39 · 17/03/2018 20:09

Definitely a dangerous thread !!

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 17/03/2018 20:33

Some bras from Little Women. Finally someone where I can get nonwired bras with my combination of large chest size but tiny boobage.

Oldraver · 17/03/2018 20:37

I love the stripey jumper and I am very Envy of the overlocker..

Yesterday I finally bought a Cath Kidston cat shirt dress...I procrastinated for ages but went and tried it on again and it felt lovely and I think it looked good on me.

I ended up modfying some black shoe boots to go with it and it looks like I have bought a cat bag...I was just looking for a general bag not a cat one

jimijack · 17/03/2018 20:46

I'm absolutely thrilled with one pair of m&s school pants, tags attached and 2 pairs of m&s school pants that look brand new from my local banardos chazza shop, 59p each. I've just paid £17 per pair New from m&s on line, chuffed to bits Smile
