A hoodie from Kin at £18 (sale). Seems ludicrous given current temperatures but I’ll get good wear from it this winter. Sandal, flip flop type sandals from Clarks (£34) which are actually perfect for this weather.

I don’t tend to buy much in August, clothes wise.

From Matalan, some glass stud earrings, pack of slim belts, PJ shorts and a cami vest.
And a casual tshirt from Primark.

Purplecatshopaholic · 12/08/2022 09:24

Houglass lipstick - it’s so lovely I bought another shade (the slim, refillable ones - £35 each, then £22 for the refills);
a green amber ring from John Lewis, £120;
Black waistcoat in the Karen Millen sale, think it was about £60;
Suit from Me and Em for work, cropped trousers £185, blazer £295;
Couple of Barry M nail colours, £3.99 each and totally ace!
tried out Romans online and bought a cute dress for £20 - way too short though so going back. Waiting on delivery of a new Moschino handbag - can’t wait! There’s probably more too - maybe better stop for now…

peridito · 12/08/2022 09:31

This viscose tunic top from Nomad .I don't usually do print but I've found these Nomad styles very good for wearing more than one day without looking grubby .
Only ever buy in the sale .

I've bought a ton of stuff from Vinted too - got a bit carried away this month.

Zara coatigan 8
Zara joggers 4
Jigsaw black leather messenger bag 10
Aldo black boots 16
Uniqlo thermal top 4
A couple of other pairs of trousers from Zara that I'll probably relist because they don't suit me

Also some pants from M&S 7
Charlotte Mensah hair oil £28 (£48 but Liberty sent me a £20 voucher)
Facial mist, cleanser and a foundation brush from All Beauty 22

Plus black Whistles Bibi bag 129
Im considering returning this still because the bag I bought from Vinted is great and will probably do the same job although it's bigger.

LookItsMeAgain · 12/08/2022 10:10

@Mrcpy - what bag did you get? I love a good bag thread 👜 😍

tigerbear · 12/08/2022 10:23

@Bearsan thank you!
@Lamentations its just so easy to get carried away on Vinted, isn’t it!

Lamentations · 12/08/2022 10:42

It is! I much prefer it to eBay though, cheaper and no waiting a bloody week for an auction to run its course. I do sell a few things on there as well to not remotely mitigate what I spend.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 12/08/2022 10:56

I am definitely thinking to autumn now:

black alpaca jumper - Arket sale, £35 (it’s now back to full price again)
the same jumper in dark red via Depop - £20
black oversized midi dress - Kin, £65
striped long-sleeved tops, one blue and white and one tan and white - Arket, £25 each

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2022 11:25

I missed getting a tan and black striped Arket t-shirt, and have regretted it ever since!
