[aqua]

I need new clothes but I need to lose about 4 stone first

I want to wear pretty dresses but don't have the tits for them *is jealous of spangles*

 

[baldrick]

What sales?

i second this. what bloody sales?

i desperately need new clothes and shoes but i'm determined to hang on until the sales because i can't really afford them. apparently debenhams are having a huge mega-sale thing end of this month so i'm keeping my eye out. first day it's on and i will be there, probably at lunch, elbowing people out of the way

 

[colacubes]

What sales?
I haven't seen a clothes shop for months now... where does everyone get the time to shop?
I need new clothes dammit!

The sale wasn't on the clothes but on the shoes at Dotty P's on Oxford Street. Pair of boots was £20 reduced from £35 and the shoes were £10 reduced from £18

 

[Biddlybee]

I don't have the will power and patience for Oxford Street at the moment

Can someone please go and buy me some new boots, a pair of jeans, some tights, a few shirts/blouses, some jumpers, and.... and.... and.... ?

Please

I've had to stop buying clothes for a bit...internet clothes shopping is just too addictive....

isn't it!!

Might have to actually do this more - although I'm never in when things come so have to go get them from the post office before work

Actually going for my first purposeful shopping spree in over a year on my birthday on Monday! Will report back

(Spree for me usually happens about twice a year and features one shopping area/mall, a vague idea of the sort of thing I'm after and a budget of up to about £200)

Actually don't - it'll only encourage you!

I bought a spangly jacket for my birthday party.

I shall probably never wear it again

 

[Geri]

I got a new Kipling bag:

£71 - bit pricy for a non leather bag

 

[secretsquirrel]

on Tuesday I spent a Topshop gift voucher on a grey/black T shirt that is very open at the back and on the front had lots of lovely silver/metalic butterflies.

Ooooh. I bought the same one this month too! I love those style t-shirts - they're great for a night out (especially if clubbing) and show off my tattoo rather well. Or I can wear 'em to work with a vest top underneath. I've also got a blue one with a silver design of flowers and skulls and things on

The boots I got were too welly like on me so took 'em back. I really should have learned by now that it's pointless me buying Evans shoes. They might go up to my size but they're way too wide for me feet

So, I then went and had a Primark moment spent £24 and got 3 long sleeved t-shirts with little puff sleeves at the top (grey/black and purple/green stripe plus a red one) and 3 really deep v-neck jumpers (hot pink, turquoise and black) which are great for work and really snuggly too.

ETA: oh, and I got a pair of fat face trousers too. Must. Stop. Buying. Clothes!

 

[Sweaty Betty]

I just bought a dress, or is it a top- im still not sure!!

 

[Cloo]

Had a lovely afternoon birthday shopping with my mum for layery winter stuff in Brent Cross.

Got this tunic-y jumper in Principles petite (yay, right length sleeves and hem!) Sort of brick red colour's a change for me, but very nice

A stripy black and grey draped open-fronted cardi in Oasis I've had my eye on (can't seem to link to it from their site)

And my eagle-eyed mum spotted a load of nice long swingy a-line vest/t-shirt tops on sale in H&M for only £3 each. They were all great on, so I bought all three for that bloomin' money. One black cap-sleeve tunic, one nice aqua-coloured one with little pockets and one plain black sleeveless.

Plus nice mum bought me some dead sea scrub and body lotion from a stall, too

 

[May Kasahara]

I can see that colour really suiting you actually, Cloo

not at all - but wear it proudly - brass bangles/belt or metallic shoes of some kind.

Glam daywear only looks silly if it is worn apologetically, iyswim.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

and so it was written

i did see a woman who had overdone it with a big blinging belt and bangles and fancy necklace. beside i can never wear belts unless they are hold my trousers up
i was thinking of wearing it with a skirt and boots or something.

well quite - it still needs to look like daywear.

but a skirt and boots sounds good.

Mmmmmm, SEXY.

I could see that going really well with a short (but not tight) skirt, thick tights, sexy boots, maybe a heavy belt.

I want one now!

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

well i was thinking of a back pencil skirt with boots, because its for daytime. you could hussy it up for evening though

 

[May Kasahara]

No, that would look hot with a pencil skirt and boots

*jealous*

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

i was thinking 'can i really be bothered to go get it tomorrow' but seen as it inspires envy in discussion i feel i must have it
lets just hope they have any left

I bought an insanely expensive carpet for my living room. I don't think it deserves to be posted here, but considering it's going to eliminate any frivolous purchases (namely purses & shoes as they're the usual) it will be the last thing I post in here for a while.

As such, I'll be living vicariously through you lot.

As you were.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

im going to get an expensive rug to cover up my manky carpet because i cant even comtemplate how hard it will be to recarpet or lay flooring. too much like work

today i got my daytime dominatrix top. it was the last one they had as well so i was really quite happy. i also bought some plain long sleeve tops, a bright purple sweater soem over the knee socks, skinpy little vest and a cotton tunic/dress thing that was on sale-i will wear it as a night methinks. got a nice little umbrella as well
i didnt get the tank top i wanted to because topshop no longer have a people tree concession in the big store the one ethical brand they had gone

 

[Mogden]

A woolly, very candy pink with red woolly bows Hello Kitty ear flap hat from H & M yesterday. Looks absolutely ridiculous so suits me just fine

 

[Poi E]

Just got this for the girlfriend

 

[Cloo]

Lucky girlfriend!

 

[spanglechick]

this

and this

and these

very cheap and tatty from Lowest Common Denominator Catalogues ltd

I felt a little guilty yesterday. Now I feel like I deserve it.

they all came and they all fit - even the purple dress, which they only had in size 18.

not that i'd fit a size 18 in anything that wasn't stretchy/that shape, but it makes a change from sizes that begin with twentysomething.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

i like that purple dress

i bought soe nice fluffly warm slippers today and my feet are not as cold as they were yesterday. hurrah
