What have you been buying?

[mikado1]

After a very sparse winter, I've had a bit of a splurge lately. Most recent buys a French Connection pink summer jumper, ballerina flats from Dune and a red, winter bag on sale and Zelens skincare, 40% off at mo.

Am with you on the Zelens! It’s a really good deal, normally prohibitively expensive but it’s my favourite skincare

Very excited, three items arriving soon! What are your favourites?

I've bought a great control swimsuit in white 😱 from Amazon as I couldn't find a plain white anywhere - it's so lovely, am very pleased with it.

A lovely shirt from M & S

Some leather look sock boots from ASOS with a good heel for walking but high enough to be 'out out'

I've also bought the Eborian concealer pencil, it's very good.

@mikado1 i really like the hyaluronic serum, the melatonin night serum, the peptide cream and the vitamin a treatment. The youth serum and moisturiser are pretty good too! What about you?

All Saints kimono and some very boring M&S work trousers

Kimonos seem very in, lovely purchases above! I got some supergas yesterday in a really good sale. Flockynocky I got a totally different lot - Emulsion D moisturiser, Power B and Power E, all new tries for me. I love the Power C and D.

A black halter neck bikini, a pink and white aztec print beach dress, straw summer bag from M&S, nude pointed flats, cropped wide leg off-white jeans, a cream broderie blouse, 2 black vest tops; one lace trimmed, a black maxi tube dress from Cos and tan Italian leather sandals are my clothes purchases over the last month. And that's all I can afford to spend now for the summer so will have to shop my wardrobe for the rest.

Love the kimono, just ordered it, only size 6 and 8 left, I'm a 10 took a punt on the 8

Hanky hem sundress Blue Vanilla @ H and M £20

High waist 90’s baggy jeans in off white H and M £19.99

Black/bronze gladiator sandals Next £39.99

Large beach bag B and M home bargains £5

A ‘Ghost’ slip dress I’ve had my eye on for ages, now 30% off.

The 8 should be fine. They come up big.

That's great, Remus

Not much.
Feels so wintery still.
A Broderie anglaise dress from marks and that's it

Two Anine Bing tees from Vinted
A white boxy tee from Arket
A gingham smock dress from Monki
Waiting on the green version of the Levi’s 90s 501 jeans which I already own in blue

It has been snowing here this week. When the gingham dress arrived I actually laughed out loud.

HOFF trainers
COS trousers for work
Kiehl’s skincare top-up (moisturiser, Vit C serum, gel cleanser)

Not much else - waiting for the weather to pick up 😩

I bought some cargo para pants from super dry and keep singing ‘I know where it’s at’ at the teenagers! They don’t have a clue

I purchased the airwrap, being delivered today. Damn it, I want gorgeous Cindy Crawford 90s hair even if I haven't got the body or face!😂

I bought an Alli sweater from Free People for silly money. It's soft and weighty and fucking huge and I love it. Been looking at it for months and finally did some overtime specifically so I could buy one without guilt.

For someone who can usually shop for England I’ve hardly bought anything lately as no idea what I’d like and only one pair of mid blue trousers (Only) in a boutique caught my eye but out of stock in my size.

Bought Kerastase Elixir Ultime as got this on hair at hairdressers.

Weather not helping at all and need to clear wardrobe anyway.

Am thinking of red or black espadrilles but need to be wide fit.

Recently lost almost a stone which I needed to lose and noticed much looser waist area.

Dress
T-shirt
Bikini
Linen trousers
Another dress
Now I just need the sun to come out!

This top from H&M, which I'm tempted to cut the ties off and wear as a jacket, as I can't carry it off as a top but I love it

This blazer, which fits lovely, but is probably unfashionable as oversized is in

So I'm tempted to go try on this instead

I feel like I'm at an awkward age (late 30s) where if I don't start actively trying to have a nod towards whats fashionable, I can easily fall into frump, so I'm actively trying to resist my first pick, which is what I would have chosen shape wise 10 years ago.
