I bloody live the S&B board but don't have the budget for a lot of threads

I'm looking to grab a few bits to get me through Autumn and Winter - including a coat! All on a budget

I nipped into town today but came home empty handed. Think I need to stick with my usual cheap and cheerful online shops

Anyone want to join me?

Have you looked at Vinted? I'd never considered second hand until recently and I've had some bargains

Isabel Marant wool coat for £60 - immaculate and was originally £595

Hush leather jacket - £45 - brand new and on the website still for £295

Selected Femme leather jacket £40 - was £210

Air Force 1s for £20 - had been worn once

There's honestly so much on there and you'll get something high end for a much better price than in Dorothy Perkins

I haven't @BananaBling

Mainly because I don't k ow which other brands would fit well. I'm really big busted and know that SimplyBe dresses can accommodate that

I will have a look though

Right every time I swap to browser to get links it deletes my post so it might be more than 1!
I'm 16-18, 5ft 10 and top heavy

M&S magic jeans are stretchy but a firm stretch, v comfy

These are more flattering than the pic, I'm wearing them with trainers and a black top

I bought a lovely teddy bear long coat today in John Lewis Any Day range. It was £68 and comes in 4 colours. XL was a good size 16/18

Did you manage to find any bargains @Workyticket?

I'm size 16, very small budget, currently combing Pinterest for ideas! Last year I lived in thermal walking trousers which were comfy but very unflattering Blush hoping I can look a bit more 'put together' this year!

I bought 3 of the pocket dresses from SimplyBe! Once I find something I like I tend to stick with it!

I'm.on a desperate search for something lovely to wear out next Saturday night.

Pubs and friends - out annual Xmas night that I look forward to all year

I'd love laid back sparkles - a dress with a v neck I can wear with my cherry DMs and a jacket if anyone's seen anything?
