What shall I buy with New Look voucher?

Littlemiss74 · 12/05/2020 10:36

I’ve had a new look voucher for £20 for nearly a year, given to me on last birthday. I never shop there, I’m 44 and feel the clothes are too young for me.
But, I don’t want to waste it so want to use it to order something online. I spent ages trawling through the website last night but just don’t know what to buy.

Any suggestions please?

Limited sizes left now but I've just got this dress which I love: www.newlook.com/uk/womens/clothing/dresses/casual-dresses/white-spot-puff-sleeve-midi-dress-/p/660044719?CAWELAID=120310300003108996&extcam=UK_AFF_SRE_dooshop+GmbH&affID=518873&caId=4&pei=3&pbrd=1&awc=1946_1589276335_7b1f153282a5d1e36e956f367d33fb67&awc=1946_1589276335_7b1f153282a5d1e36e956f367d33fb67

Also got this which is nice: www.newlook.com/uk/womens/clothing/tops/navy-broderie-frill-high-neck-blouse/p/653112541

Hard to recommend without knowing your style and size tho! I'm 40 and think a lot of the stuff in New Look is poor quality and too trendy but there are some gems in there. I got some nice sandals last year. There are some lovely leather trainers on there at the moment that I'm tempted by too.

Oh yes sorry I’m 5’3” and a size 12. Thank you for suggestions

There are quite a few different puff sleeve midi dresses in various patterns - I found the style really flattering, which was very surprising. I expected it to make me look dumpy.

Shoes! I have had 2 pairs from there which are staple pieces for me and we're very cheap.

Stick to real leather and the quality is good.

I have a pair of Chelsea boots with nice gold detail on heel and a pair of brown leather sandals. Both get lots of comments as to where they are from.

Im probably not in the least bit stylish but I buy quite a few bots from New Look (Im 43 btw).
In the winter I got several pinafore dresses in jersey material which I wore for work (Im a TA), got a lovely handbag, some petite jeans, tiered long sleeve dress, peplum top which is ideal for hiding my many lumps and bumps. I also find the sizing quite generous...Im usually a 14 but can usually fit into a 12 in NL in some things. Its a case of searching through and taking the clothes as clothes in their own right rather than on the young model.

Jeans, vest tops, footwear

Would really recommend this dress. It's lovely:
