A New Purchase You are Excited About

[SummaLuvin]

In the spirit of the thread we have all seen (and probably commented on) about this board becoming a bit boring, I thought I would spice things up by starting a thread where we could share things bought recently that we are excited about.

Fun purchases only!

I will start. I got this from River Island. Very puffy sleeves but I am a pear shape so the puffiness balances me out. I love the pattern and is it so spring/summer and pretty. I know half of MN will hate this! www.riverisland.com/p/pink-cross-back-crop-top-782622?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlN-Xk5zR8AIViajVCh3leQS8EAQYASABEgKCpfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

this dress from Wyse London.

It’s my reward to myself for losing two stone and I can’t wait for it to arrive!

Link fail.

Gorgeous @LunaNorth! I've bought a cheaper version, nowhere near as nice, but similar to that just recently.

@chocolatesaltyballs22 Great minds think alike! I bought the small Lottie in quilted navy.

It's very glamorous and looks slightly ludicrous with my lockdown / toddler uniform of joggers and T-shirts 😬 but DH and I have a child free weekend in London coming up soon, and it will be a fabulous opportunity to dress up like a proper grown up and use the bag!

@LunaNorth I love the dress, well done on your weight loss.
I always admire Sophie Raworth's Wyse dresses but I don't think I would ever spend that much on myself.

Ah lovely @sar302 - enjoy! Mine came to the pub and a restaurant with me last night. Think I need a small now in a different colour as well!

[quote FizzyPink]I just had this River Island dress delivered but bought on ASOS when they had 20% off a few days ago. It’s lovely and I’m thinking it will go with my new wedges which haven’t had an outing yet. Hurry up summer!

Love both of these, and I think I've actually got the wedges saved on my app, but I'm stopping myself because I've already got very similar items to both the dress and the shoes.

I wouldn’t normally, but I’ve had a tottering time recently and was in full fuck-it mode.

I hope it suits me...

I love this thread, so many lovely things  @LunaNorth that dress is beautiful!

I bought these trainers, after wanting some that were both black and leopard print for ages:

I also bought some flatform Birkenstocks, I never liked them but I need some comfy summer sandals for going on long walks to get the baby to nap in the pram! I've been wearing them in around the house and I now love them!

@LunaNorth beautiful dress! 😍

These quite frankly ridiculous shoes from French sole and tan luxe hylarounic set (face and body) a QVC bargain.

I bought a pair of Doc Marten sandals a few weeks ago but yet to wear them due to the abysmal weather we have been having.

@ChubbyLittleManInACampervan love those trousers

@EllaPaella

So did I, after seeing yours on one of the ‘What are you wearing today?’ threads!

I can’t wait to wear them!

Great thread! Here's my contribution.

Stupid weather ruining our fun... I'm now going to check out those DM sandals...

@ChubbyLittleManInACampervan can I ask what the sizing is like on those free people pants? I'm about to check out but can't decide which size!

I am a size 14, slim waist wide hips though, and the L was a good fit

If you are more apple shaped size up as waist is tightest bit

@ChubbyLittleManInACampervan thank you, that's really helpful :)

I got these from marks for work - also in black. I got the short version which look better IMO. this from hush and also from hush this skirt

Sorry it's this

Just bought this:

I'm excited to try it on!

I haven't bought any clothes recently, but I have bought some lovely rose material to have a go at making myself some leggings. I also got this baby Yoda panel and matching material to make a t-shirt. 😁

I wanted (needed?!) some new earrings so I chose these in grey from Butler & Wilson

Perhaps a bit goth but I’m really pleased with them.

@SummaLuvin why do you care if mumsneet hate the top. Screw them. You dont no these people. Enjoy your top.
