As per the title, I’m just looking for inspiration and interested to see what people are buying.

The last thing I bought was a pair of board shorts, neither stylish or beautiful, but practical.

I got a light blue barrel pair on the sale for £7! They’re fab.

must look out for the sale ones. I agree they’re fab quality. Good T-shirts and sweatshirts too and my jacket is perfect.

That looks like the least versatile item of clothing ever. 😂

Maybe but i like it! It’s the perfect spring summer jacket. Wearing it now.

I have 5 pairs of Tu barrel jeans (some 10, some 12, some short and some regular) and I think 3 were 70% off!

You can wear it with other stuff like the co ord skirt. I won’t! Planning on maybe pairing it with pale pink jeans.

Some cheap gym wear in the sainsburys tu sale, a lipsy dress from Vinted. I’m a bit skint atm but I very much like the look of that next polka dot dress & I have a next account so I might order it.

ay30916 · 01/05/2026 20:38

As an aside. I absolutely love sainsburys for jeans. Their fit seems to be good for me.

Sorry! I see the discussion was about clothes. None!

ERthree · 01/05/2026 20:47

Those are lovely. My plain green Dunlop ones are very very boring beside them.

anon2022anon · 01/05/2026 20:57

So much stuff. I've been on the jabs and needed a full new wardrobe, and I'm going away next week.
My main culprits have been H&M, Tu, a little bit of Next and ASOS.

These are my H&M purchese
These and These have been my favourite two items so far- the trousers are too thick for summer, but the make me feel simultaneously very cool and like I'm in All Saints.

A couple of nice quality basic tees in grey and red- with shoulders that sit on your actual shoulders 🥳

Some jorts, these really nicely cut and quality barrel leg trousers, and a linen shirt

anon2022anon · 01/05/2026 21:25

From Tu, I got this pretty strappy dress, and this linen one

These awesome culottes , and these ones for work (a great buy), and a couple of these boat neck tops. A couple of the basics vests too.

Comfy shorts, and a brown linen version too, and these shorts, which I've worn today with the boat neck top above.

pinkksugarmouse · 01/05/2026 21:34

Two charity t-shirts and a couple of bras from M&S.
Sorry not to have anything exciting to share. The t-shirts are really cute though.

What I'm trying to buy are jeans from M&S !
I don't want carrot, banana, Mum etc.
A simple high-rise, slim leg, that doesn't have frayed edges.

Try the Autograph jeans - I got a lovely pair of straight / slim leg jeans from that range - perfect and smart enough for work.

Bunnyofhope · 01/05/2026 21:47

My first pair of salt water sandals.

Jemimapuddleduk · 01/05/2026 21:48

Some indigo barrel jeans, black high waist carrot jeans, cream chain trimmed knitted vest, per una polo knitted zip top in coral - all M&S. Plus a new brown mascara (ysl).

Pinknotpurple · 01/05/2026 22:02

My first ever vinted purchase, a cream hoodie from the white company that is beautifully soft ... and also stained!!

Im fed up, was so looking forward to it but was cheap so cba to make a fuss

Pale yellow polka dot jacket sold out everywhere Tu jacket. It’s great.

I have this too. Love it, need to get to grips with how to style it

Tryonemoretime · 01/05/2026 22:07

H and M off white denim shorts. A perfect fit. Love them.

CinnamonSweet73 · 01/05/2026 22:51

I'm another one with the M&S barrel jeans! I got the washed black, I want more colours!

NotMeNorI · 01/05/2026 23:08

A denim shirt (to wear as a light jacket) and black barrel leg joggers from Tu.

Pink checked PJ-style trousers from Primark.

Still finding my style after losing weight and going for cheaper options, but really impressed with the supermarket lines!
