What have you bought recently?

[CormorantStrikesBack]

Im having a wardrobe revamp so after inspiration. So far this is some of my purchases.

tu skirt, looks better in real life than in the photo

Zara shirt. Not to be worn with the skirt above

denim waistcoat

Got a leopard print midi skirt from Tesco as well. But think it’s sold out.

new look trousers

Yes M&S usually generous on their sizes but not with this particular swimming costume. The 10 which should fit is definitely too tight but they didn’t have a 12 and I’m going to shift a couple of lbs before hols so 🤞

4 pints of milk two pks cheese puffs galaxy chocolates lucazade drink two tins of dog food nothing exciting ,I don't have much money so I have to live in a budget

I'm working abroad temporarily and I just bought a lovely dress in a soft blue green shade, with a knitted top and linen skirt. Also a pair of wide(ish) leg lightweight cotton/linen trousers in navy. I love to find clothes that are a bit different from anything I would find at home.

Why be deliberately goady with your replies? Anyway, this is posted in Style and Beauty.

I love those cherry trousers! What's the waistband like?

@Judystilldreamsofhorses, really tempted by those Uniqlo gingham trousers. What colour did you go for & how do they fit?

@Peaceandquietandacuppa ive now just ordered those jeans and the cardigan. I was looking for a smart cardigan to wear with anything and it’s perfect!

I have bought:
3 mint Velvet T-shirts
A MV jumpsuit, pale grey with stars
A pair of Hush camouflage green pattern cargo trousers
Pale blue wide leg turned up jeans
A bottle green wide legged Warehouse jumpsuit

All from FB selling sites or Charity shops

These are the MV things I got

I got the navy check. I’m a 10/12 (usually 12 bottom) and ordered large which the size guide said was a 30 waist, usually 30” is a 12 in UK trousers. That was a mistake and they were like clown trousers, so I re-ordered medium which are actually still generous. Annoying to pay 2 x delivery and for return but they are good trousers!

I’ve ordered these https://www.marksandspencer.com/leather-square-toe-ballet-pumps/p/clp60647605?color=IVORY#intid=pid_pg1pip32g4r4c4. In cream, not black

not sure when they’re on if they will look nice or like Granny shoes but I thought they’re worth a chance.

That's lovely.

A beautiful straw sun hat from The Hat Shop in York. Unfortunately no pic as it is not on their website but so lookng forward to wearing it.

Thanks @Judystilldreamsofhorses, that’s helpful to know. I was thinking of ordering the medium. I’ve been caught out by those size guides too!

Ooh @CormorantStrikesBack if waistcoats are in I’ll dig out all mine I kept from the 90s 🫣🤨 never wanted to get rid! Doubt they will fit though

A shirt dress.

This zara linen dress and these vintage style sandals. I also have them in tan and they are super comfy. I'm short and long dresses dont always suit me, but I loved the cut of this Zara one.

@BusterGonad gorgeous red dress, do you have a link please?

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm not in the UK and it's a local brand, also it only has size Medium in stock online and I don't think they do international shipping. 🙁

Just to be a show off, here's the blue one which I 💙. I wear it slightly more fitted (big boobs).

I like the look of these. Going to pop into M&S today and have a look - let you know how Granny like, (not that there’s anything wrong with Granny like 😄) they are!

That Zara dress is gorgeous!

Amazing shoes on that website. Counting the pennies in my piggy bank now!

Too much stuff on Vinted

Pair of Birkenstock suede Arizona, sent back way to 'floppy' and to wide at the front and the strap was on the last hole, no support at all. (and I live in Birkies and have many colours and styles) Love a blue leather pair that Rubber Soles have but cannot justify £141 on them.

Waiting for a few Sienna Miller items from M&S to be delivered.

Pair of Puma suede trainers from TKMaxx and a acid green longline linen shirt, love it.
