There seems to have been a digression from the original intention of Penth's very worthy thread so, rather than cause anyone any offence or detract from what Penth and others were setting out to achieve, would anyone like to do a thread in a similar vein? Discussing potential purchases (advising each other for/ against in sensible fashion!!) and talking about how we're wearing existing pieces etc

Am off to Sunday lunch with friends but will check back in later.

Wearing purple Tam Tam dress, grey opaques, grey slouch suede boots, charcoal travelwrap for discreet bfing. Pretty exited about the sunshine so nearly cracked out the new OP sunnies but am saving for summer proper

have a good day all

The more sensible shopping thread is exactly what I've been thinking of doing recently, so I'm in! But feeling a bit daunted by 984 messages (I know, I don't have to read them all but I might be about to say something that's already been said). Did anyone read the article in the Guardian a few weeks back, about the woman who decided not to buy clothes for a year? It promised a lot but was a pretty short and inconclusive article imo. I think it's a bit extreme to go for a whole year, but how about 6 month stints, with a sale buying period inbetween? I love sale shopping and bought some lovely things in the winter sales - I might not buy anything now for 6 months, but then buy some stuff in the summer sales.

I'm on this thread under a name change but am too afraid to read my posts lest I'm wittering on about tunics or summat. Grin
