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.

God, too much!

Fatface padded navy jacket for dog walking
Uniqlo cream souffle yarn jumper
Both from Vinted.

Two Amazon Essential v neck fitted teeshirts in olive and black - don't judge me, the fit is excellent.

Levis high waisted flares

In my defence, I have lost a lot of weight and needed to replace things.

Didn't technically buy these next ones but, for my birthday on Weds, I scored some perfume:

Givency L'Interdit
Guerlain Shalimar

Its been a good fortnight.

I have a new lipstick coming in tomorrow’s supermarket delivery and am quite excited about that.

EllaPaella · 01/05/2026 23:44

I’ve had a bit of a splurge the last two weeks;
Off white wide leg crop jeans - Primark
Light wash barrel leg jeans - Primark
Short sleeve V neck ribbed tops from Levi’s in white and black
Deep pink quilted jacket from Freepeople
Teva Kena sandals
Peach sweater from Sweaty Betty
Pink toned check shirt from Saltrock
Cream lace trim cami from River Island and a cream blazer from Vinted. Oh and Hoka running trainers- like running on clouds.

Eyebrows.... The best money I've ever spent.

All from Vinted & eBay (I rarely buy new):

  • Toast green dress - this sold out, I got very lucky (as this was new & unworn), & am super pleased!
  • Vintage fine wool black Jaeger jacket - fab quality & a perfect spring weight. Very current looking.
  • M&S gingham skirt - I'd wanted it, but it sold out. Wearing lots!
  • Vintage Marina Rinaldi silk & lace tabard top - what a find! Amazing quality & a perfect evening top.
  • Vintage Russell & Bromley green loafers - my size but they're too tight ... I am broken-hearted ... 😢!!

Oh, & three new cushion covers, made from vintage satinised cotton & velvet, which are really pretty! (Yes, I love green ...)

I’ve been on my annual spring/summer dress purchasing kick in the last two weeks, encouraged by a) the early warm weather and b) some nice offerings from my favourite stateside brands. So far I’ve ordered a blue Ralph Lauren dress, a chambray shirt dress, and a bluish purplish cotton voile dress (both J Crew). I think I also need* the white button down dress from Ralph Lauren because I love the neckline on it.
*Need being a subjective term as someone who already owns many dozens of dresses. In my defence I bought mostly shorter dresses last summer so this year could add to the longer ones.

@EleanorMc67 some great Vinted purchases there! I might look out for that brand of top, I've not seen them before.

I have 2 leather/ suede jackets and a linen dress on the way from Vinted, and a Kate Moss gold crochet number that might get listed straight back on- I imagine it's very short.

@Wauwinet the white dress is very nice, love the 90s shape of the shirt dress too.

ChewbaccasMrs · Yesterday 07:19

A long white dress with colours on it(hard to explain)that's just for wearing around the house and out in the garden,but it is gorgeous and I love it and 3 bracelets.

I'm having a splurge soon and buying new underwear,flip flops,sandals,bags,dresses and a few little jackets.

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

I buy loads from Vinted and for the first time ever I had a purchase that was really bobbly. I raised a concern and had a full refund in minutes 🤷🏻‍♀️

RedRiverShore6 · Yesterday 07:28

A long sleeved long white casual shirt from WhiteStuff when they had 20% off recently, 3 pairs of straight chinos from M&S in navy, pink and green on a recent Sparks 20% off offer, bought 3 colours because they fit so perfectly and quite reasonable price

Holymolyrigmorole · Yesterday 07:35

A coat and 2 pairs of cropped white trousers off Vinted plus a pair of straight legged jeans and a suede-look trench coat from Zara

I desperately need some tops for Spring/summer but not having much success

HoiityToity · Yesterday 07:39

I’ve bought cowboy boots to replace my trainers as my every day footwear. I’m loving them.

Flannelfeet · Yesterday 07:41

Converse black leather chunky loafers and new look black patent chunky loafers with silver chain detail. 🥰

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.

Have you looked at Sienna? Straight but look fairly slim?

I covet your wardrobe.
The Toast dress and loafers are particularly lush, how maddening that they don’t fit

M&S barrel legs jeans. Thought I’d hate them, but I love them and I now have 3 pairs.

I think it depends on whether they suit your body shape or not. I tried some on and they looked dreadful on me but I’ve seen them on other people and they look great.

I’m a size 12-14 and hourglass. They look good on me I think. So comfy.
