LOL, it's only a dress
I've only come up trumps with one M&S dress, and it's a great dress. Don't think I've got much else from there apart from nickers and pyjamas. Keep trying stuff on though.
I have a grey shift dress from their capsule wardrobe they did a few months ago. It's nice.

worked it out now!
wantbut think it might look naff with boobs
I ordered this today,it's now 2 items that I have bought just from folk posting on this thread...
My foot is broken and in a cast so I need to wear dresses for a bit and this one may just be my xmas day ensemble.

I hope they fit. 1p delivery at M&S so worked out cheaper than going to a store to try them on (especially as Angel don't have them in so have already wasted £2).
These arrived in the post today but are too big. Sending them back for a 4.5 which they now have in stock. They really are lovely and a bargain too.

it's perfect for you! (milly molly is tall and very hourglassy with flame-red hair).
You would wear it to bars and restaurants and parties.
I don't go to any of those things (but thank you very much for the compliments!!), could I wear it sitting on the sofa watching Friends? Oh sod it. I'm ordering it. EEEEK!

It's a beautiful dress milly molly. I saw it on the TV too and thought 'wow'.
Then I opened up the internet and showed it to my BF just in case he was short on ideas for xmas...

I've ordered it. I cleverly fooled myself into thinking I was actually Christmas shopping by adding a scarf and some jewellery for my step nephew and niece to the order.

That's the way I xmas shop - 2 for them, one for me
This isn't very exciting but just to let people know that M&S do 3 pairs of 60 dernier tights for £8 in multi colours - brown black and airforce blue which is quite good.
And their kingfisher (teal) tights are the bollocks and only £4

That's very generous. I do one for them, three for me

Thinks she is a flower to be looked at
I bought a spotty pencil dress with a fantastic frilly bit at the bottom, so it frills about when you move, I like it but it doesn't fit very well. I really like it but I know that keeping it will make me hate it.
There's another dress, a very very yellow one. It's a nice dress but it's an occasion dress and I don't have many occasions that call for such a dress... It fits quite well, especially round the tits but I don't know if it suits me. I did text a picture to a friend for an opinion (i am very very bored today). I'll see if I can get pics o here and then ask urban.

2 pairs of jeans - first is size 10, blue, straight leg jeans from New Look, which are a weeeeee bit on the tight side 
but I bought em anyway, cos I'm desperate to be a size 10 
2nd pair is a pair of size 10 Dotty P, black skinny jeans. see above re size comment
also bought a purple "boyfriend cardi" in New Look
oh and from the NExt Clearance Store, a stripey purple, orange and red woolly cardy (I think it's nicer than it sounds) a grey dress for work, which is a bit big and a yellow top thing which is a bit small (ummm, bought a size 6 by accident)
can't try on clothes in the Clearance Store, and they didnt' have any in the right size when I went to exchange. dammit! still have kept them both despite the fact they are 3 sizes different from each other
I have seemingly been on a bit of a spending spree but I'm not really satisfied with any of my purchases

I really need a dress for New Year. I've lost some weight recently and want to look fabulous and wear a lovely dress which show off how fab I feel....
I like the look of this but at almost a hundred quid it's a bit out of my budget (I'm thinking £40, max)....
any suggestions?

ok - since everything i've bought lately has been met with a resounding silence, i reckon it's safe to say i've lost my shopping mojo.
could this half price number be a return to form?
obviously i'm going for the joan holloway vibe. albeit shorter and wider...

That looks great.
The attempt to replenish/brighten up my meagre wardrobe is having mixed success.
The shoes came and are lovely:
Got this with quimmy's Monsoon discount - not only is it a colour, it has a pattern on it, hurray!
On the other hand I ordered a ton of stuff from Dorothy P to try on and it is all going back apart from two identical very plain green long sleeved t-shirts, due to a combination of nasty fabric, poor cut and just plain unsuitability.
Also with the Monsoon discount I got this, although I wasn't sure about it, on the grounds that the discount was about to run out and I could always take it back but I wouldn't get the discount again.
It's nicer on the bod than on the page, less A line and more pencilly. I do like it but (a) it was still pretty expensive even with the discount and (b) it is basically a going out skirt, and is black, and one thing I do have is two black going out skirts, so how much mileage would I get from it? Can't decide whether to keep it or take it back.

These bracelets:
This waist belt (sorry for the shit pic, it's not on the website, but it's got a shimmery silvery-black bit either side of the buckle, then black elasticated back):
Got a lovely necklace which is a silver leaf, with the silver forming all the capillaries or whatever to make a very fine mesh, on a long chain, really delicate and lovely. Also got a pair of very big dangly silver disc earrings.
eta: here's the necklace: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Accessorize-D...ewItemQQimsxq20091126?IMSfp=TL091126155001r57

I'm loving mine. They're a little long for me but I just buy size seven and pretend they fit.
I'm wearing them all the time as they're so comfy and none of my other shoes are rainproof.

hee hee...if website had not got smaller sizes in stock I would have seriously considered putting up with them being a little big. Before I checked I was already thinking insoles?

I bought a very very bright, flowery top from Coast today.
I've ordered a few things from Boden too and I'm hoping the coat fits but it probably won't. fingers crossed.
I can't find any nice day dresses at the moment. I looked in Monsoon and in Coast where I saw one nice black one which was just a few inches too short. The I gave up because I couldn't be arsed. Ho hum.

Oh yes, I got some nice earrings too. I hardly ever wear jewellery so are a bit of a novelty to me at the moment

idioteque, where is that dress from? It's lovely. What sort of material is it?
I've recently bought: a red coat, double breasted with black buttons and belted. Have wanted a red coat for years but only just managed to find one I liked. It's from Mango Outlet store so no link.
Black boots: slouchy with bows on, love them, but wore them in the rain today and my feet and socks got soaked.
Black beret from M and S.
Nice winter clothes are helping with the misery of winter.
