I've been after a bright pink oversize shirt for a while. One unsuccessful Vinted purchase (arrived with an obvious mark on it), one unsuccessful New Look purchase (not bright enough - I kept the lime green one though) and I was minutes away from spending £150 on the Serena Bute version. And behold the Massimo Dutti sale starts tomorrow at 8pm. I think I have found The Shirt.

What have you bought/planning to buy?

That shirt is gorgeous!

I’m not looking to buy anything as went slightly overboard in Nov/December, but always open to being tempted by offers :)

That is nice though I am too pale for it.

Wow that is beautiful!
I’m after a beautiful jacket from Sessun, which is a French brand. Looking forward to makeup bargains in Selfridges.

I’m after a vegan leather bag for day-to-day use.

How do you wear the oversize shirt? I imagine with skinny or straight trousers, but I thought skinnies were out or on the way out?

MintChocCornetto · 24/12/2022 20:34

The lime green effort I bought from New Look works really well with the wide leg trousers I had on. I think it's just a matter of getting used to the new 'shapes' of clothes. I think in summer it will look good with shorts too.

That’s a good way of thinking about it, ie getting used to the new shape of clothes. I’ll keep open-minded.

I’m looking for a grey cross body bag

I’ve just bought another pair of Boden wide leg jeans in the dark vintage.

BangingOn · 27/12/2022 21:09

I’ve bought a couple of cardigans from Hush (actually the same cardigan in two different colours), two Hush jumpers, knickers and wide legged side striped trousers from M&S and a Sezane jumper (not in the sale but have been wanting for ages).

PhillyJoe · 27/12/2022 21:12

I’ve bought long boots and a dress from Hush. Almost bought a few cardigans but restrained myself.

MzLucky · 27/12/2022 21:21

Oh lovely shirt.

I am on the hunt for a military coat.... Xmas Grin

roarfeckingroarr · 27/12/2022 21:34

I bought a Mulberry handbag, down just shy of £400!!

Baby 2 is due in next few weeks so I'm wary of buying clothes until I'm back to normal. Can't wait to have my body back to myself and fit into non-elastic aged clothes 😁

I bought a pair of neutral Vejas (50% off) and a pair of black leather Dune loafers (30% off)

Newlifenewme · 28/12/2022 13:34

I’ve just bought a petite Parisian bag from wanderers. I was torn between that and the crossbody but I already have a few medium bags I wanted one a bit larger.

I’ve also bought some leather trousers and some boots from mint velvet which were quite reduced.

I’ve been looking for some new silk blouses but have found the ones so I’m leaving it for now.

I've got them in my basket but what on earth do you wear with them?! Please do give ideas for winter and also summer ? In summer I was quite restrained and only did with sandals and t shirts...need some inspiration!

Niftythrifter · 10/01/2023 19:26

People Tree blouse for summer!

Darkdiamond · 10/01/2023 19:29

Christmas jumpers/dresses/tights from the Next Kids sale for next Christmas. We love our festive clothes!

Niftythrifter · 10/01/2023 19:35

@Noangelbuthavingfun I try to go for a 70s inspired look so pussy bow blouses and canvas shoes. I also broke my fashion rule and wore an oversized jumper with them. I think in summer time I will wear little T-shirts with them and my new People Tree blouse.

DuncanBiscuits · 10/01/2023 19:41

Where are people finding silk shirts, please?

Moll2020 · 10/01/2023 20:58

What size bright pink top are you looking for? I have one that I was going to sell on Vinted x

Hoppinggreen · 10/01/2023 21:02

Well I tried to buy a lovely Coach bag from JL online down from £350 to £140.
However, when it arrived they send a horrid MK one instead, completely different colour and style.. By the time it arrived the Coach one was out of stock 🤬
When I contacted them they offered a discount if I kept it but I sent it back.
