I bought a faux leather mini in a beige colour today from New Look and I am in love with it! It was £19.99 and could pass for real leather, it's not too short, not too A-Line, not too stiff...it is perfect!

I am going to wear it to work tomorrow with a black skinny high neck jumper, black tights and black ankle boots and when it is warmer I will wear it for casual with a white T, white converse and a denim jacket.

I am so bored with winter but it's too cold for summer clothes and I am so excited to have found something nice to buy Grin I can feel it being a lovely wardrobe staple for years to come.

Just treated myself to some Perfume Parlour dupes and a load of La Roche Posay skincare which is fantastic stuff.

Great to hear about some good buys on this thread. I'm finding shopping for clothes very disappointing at the moment - everything feels a bit cheap and poorly made!

Hmm, don't think the image posted, try again

I bought Sennheiser headphones and love them

Dandellion · 23/03/2018 15:37

The Collection 24 Hour Concealer. It's amazing stuff and cheap as cheaps. I have a make up drawer bag stuffed full of Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier and Chanel but this is better.

PNGirl · 23/03/2018 16:05

New Look Jenna skinny jeans. Nearly as good as my Topshop Jamie and £15.99!

Also, this dinosaur t shirt

Ollivander84 · 23/03/2018 16:16

This from the tall range. It's a sheer stripe and looks really good over a black vest for work

TheNoseyProject · 23/03/2018 16:28

@pngirl how long is the Dino t-shirt? More waist length or a bit longer? Love it but I have such a long body I can’t wear shorter cut tees.

PNGirl · 23/03/2018 16:37

It's quite boxy - it's longish on me but I'm 5ft3. Hits the bottom of my jeans pockets.

TheNoseyProject · 23/03/2018 16:39

Oh sounds like it’ll be ok potentially! Thanks

Bluefrontdoor · 23/03/2018 16:49

Mine is that I went back blonde after a few years messing with my hair colour in brown/reds and I love love love it! Do not let me go through that phase again 😂

I also bought a long sleeve top with a cross cowl front from tk max was in the yoga/leisure/ sport type section which I never look at, there was some lovely things so will keep my eye on that area.

sportyfool · 23/03/2018 19:57

I bought some rayban wayfarers today .. all polarised and stuff..Love them !

Peanutbuttercups21 · 23/03/2018 20:06

Bought the long tall sally grey suede jacket

It's a dream, flattering and comfy, casual yet chic (for rural Hants anyway Wink)

Fuffalo · 23/03/2018 21:46

Those shoes look like the ones I made my First Holy Communion in back in the day Grin

TimesNewRoman · 23/03/2018 22:07

This amazing, surprisingly flattering Swimsuit from New Look of all places. Also comes in Tall sizing and you can tighten the lace up bit so it's not as showy. The material is nice textured and it has padding/support.

Girlwiththearabstrap · 24/03/2018 07:27

@pngirl Another question about the dino tee! How generous/small does uniqlo come up? I'm a 12 so would normally go for a M but I'm due in May (And treating myself to a few new things for after) so I dont want anything too tight.

MrsWhirly · 24/03/2018 07:31

I really like that swimsuit! I have 34G boobs though, and not so perky after two kids- do you think it would be supportive?

HRTpatch · 24/03/2018 07:34

peanutbutter I've been looking at the grey suede jacket. I sense I may succomb

PNGirl · 24/03/2018 08:01

@Girlwiththearabstrap I go for L as I'm a 12-14 with broad shoulders and DDs! The L will be a bit longer.

PNGirl · 24/03/2018 08:02

But, as I said, boxy fit so it depends if you mind a wider body.

Girlwiththearabstrap · 24/03/2018 08:14

Thanks, sounds like I'm not dissimilar size to you. Also between sizes and a G cup so I don't want a stretched fit. Boxy stuff is ok as I'll be carrying weight on my stomach I guess so looser top and skinnies might be ok.

clothcollector · 24/03/2018 08:36

Finally got on the whistles bandwagon and bought the chain clutch below:

Its amazing quality and love wearing it even with skinnies and trainers.

Fosterdog123 · 24/03/2018 08:47

L'Oréal stick foundation. It's brilliant. Covers and lasts just like doublewear and is the best concealer for my dark circles that I've ever found.
