Marks and Spencer white and blue abstract pattern top, navy cropped trousers which I've had for years and Clarks silver trainers when I went out as raining then.
I can't believe how many people are wearing boots and jumpers on this thread as I'm in the SE of the UK and it's still quite warm in the day.

A pair of Desmond and Dempsey pyjamas (the style is called Persephone) that were £180, marked down to £22. Feeling very smug about it too.

FurForksSake · 04/09/2025 23:18

That’s a bargain and they look like lovely pyjamas. Are they the lyocell ones @Hiiii ?

Comefromaway · 05/09/2025 09:44

I LOVE a bargain. That sounds like a great one.

Black & white Dorothy Perkins polka dot skater style dress (can't remember how much but I bought it in a sale about 6-7 years ago
Black Clarks ballet flats £50

Going out tonight (girls dinner), will probably wear the same jeans and not sure which top yet..

Hiiii · 05/09/2025 13:23

Oh, I’m wrong. They’re not Persephone, they’re Soleia.

Very comfy. Definitely wouldn’t have paid full price, but delighted with the bargain.

Sweaty Betty leggings, £10 from a nearby prison

I'm beyond curious, @AnnaQuayInTheUk ...?

Great username!

AnnaQuayInTheUk · 09/09/2025 06:34

There's an open prison near me @GarlicMetre . The prisoners run a coffee shop, and also a shop that sells end of line clothes and returns. They had loads of SB leggings last year but sadly they seem to have stopped those. They have a lot of Fat Face, Joules, Hobbs, Regatta and some other brands. All at very cheap prices. My dog walking bag is a Fat Face bag that should have been £45 but I bought for £5

GarlicMetre · 09/09/2025 06:37

Wow! An unexpected bonus of living near that prison!

The inmates must be very well dressed 😃
