I have bought a half price Mint Velvet sequin shirt , a silky long dressing gown and a short quilted jacket. I have bought some hair products with 10% off.

Some dresses from Karen Millen - all went back as too short or too similar to ones I already have. Did get some awesome knee high boots from Terry de Havilland, and some ankle boots from EMP - didn’t need them, but couldn’t help myself, lol.

A jacket I had ordered in December has arrived & is sadly too big. The smaller size is no longer available. I'm sending it back Monday & the refund will cancel out the bag I bought!!

I bought these last pair in my size. Will be worn loads in summer.

Ah the ol' Sales Maths logic! Grin

A coat, a dress and some joggers from Hush, a bra and some t shirts and skirt from M&S, a jumper and a velvet dress from Toast. Oh and a cardigan and some cream ankle boots from River Island.

Sports bras and socks from M&S (bras ace)
Some bubble bath from Molten Brown

Just got my fat face order - navy puffer jacket (needed something showerproof) and an off white camisole type top - the type I always wish I had in summer but never get round to buying. It's a bit big but looks good so I'll keep it.

I would like to get some chunky black loafers, some new joggers and possibly some high tops. I really struggle with shoes though so it's a marathon not a sprint and may be post sale purchases (thank good for vouchers I say).

Does Vinted count?! I've bought a fantastic sequin H&M dress in a 12/M - identical to the one I bought on Vinted in a L/14 about a month ago. It's going to be the evening outfit for my wedding. I loved it so much, I also found it in black on Vinted - and wore it on NY.

My other great Vinted buy is a full-length Seasalt waterproof coat for under a tenner.

Finally, in actual sales, I've indulged in a Boden ruffle skirt in SATC light pink. It's very fun.

I've had a cream Teddy Coat from Monki, just looking at it is making me hot atm!

@LadyOfTheCanyon I know...clutching at straws 😁
I feel I.might still cave & buy the Jigsaw boots too.....

LookItsMeAgain · 07/01/2023 14:02

@AnnieSnap - what on earth are they?????!!!!!! Are they crocs or trainers? They're clearly not waterproof so are they pool shoes or something else entirely? You must tell us how you get on when they arrive! Were they expensive?

LookItsMeAgain · 07/01/2023 14:31

Just wondering if the LookFantastic Black Friday Beauty Box or the Winter Beauty Bundle would be worth buying now?

Twoscotcheggsandajarofmarmite · 07/01/2023 14:39

@RaininginDarling I ordered that skirt last night after much dithering. I really wanted the yellow version but it sold out too quickly for me. I got a similar one in navy from hush for Christmas and I love it. I think the pink will be lovely in summer.

I also ordered a swimsuit from Boden, remembering last summer when I spent ages browsing them but they were too expensive.
I’ve been trying to only order things I was lusting after anyway, I bought a corduroy dress from toast that I’d had in my basket for ages. Trying not to get sucked in by the 80% off bargains that I’ll never actually wear. (I’m looking at you chartreuse satin dress hanging on the back of my wardrobe door all year!)

RaininginDarling · 07/01/2023 15:07

Ah yes @Twoscotcheggsandajarofmarmite I really wanted the yellow too! Still the pink is lovely for summer or with DMs and a jumper

They are a dupe of Yeezy trainers. I saw on YouTube reviews (after I ordered them) that people find their size too small. Sadly, that’s the case and I’m returning them. I ordered these from Merrell instead. I have their slides and they are wonderful. I have worn them constantly since buying them, as sandals in the summer and as slippers since then. They are the most comfortable footwear I have ever had. They are also eco friendly and Vegan 🙂

Pumps from my 2 fave brands.

They're the most comfortable (for my feet) and in colours I regularly wear anyway (black, nude/beige, navy etc).
