Charity shop finds:
Vintage 1950's blue winter coat ($4.99)
A t-shirt with holes in it, but the beading around the collar was very nice and intact. I'm going to sew it onto another shirt ($.99)
A pair of black jeans, with embroidery at the heels (3.99).
With my "senior" discount it was a little less than $8.

I bought some plimsolls half price from Sainsburys (8 quid).
I think I like them but I'm slightly concerned that my last two footwear purchases (the last being brown leather chelsea boots) have both been from Sainsburys.
Is this because they've massively improved and are actually making good shoes and clothes or is it because any sense of style or taste I had has abandoned me? Hmmm
Anyway they look like this except they have suedeish panels on the sides and they weren't 140 quid.

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
I can't believe I've drivelled on for that long about an 8 quid pair of trainers.
I can't believe I'm about to answer your original post
Firstly, it may be age related, possibly? Certainly that's my excuse.
Secondly, Sainsburys have definitely upped their game in terms of styles/quality. I also bought some shoes there back along. Nowt to get excited about, but perfectly serviceable.
Some of their men's shirts aren't fucking horrible, at last.
A lot of it is still shit mind, all those fucking stupid big logos on t-shirts that blokes who should know better wear, you know the crap I mean, random designs with a massive

logo on and shit.
Hope that helps

It does actually apart from the age thing. For that, i want to give you a dead leg. 
God, those t shirts are horrible aren't they?
I find a lot of that shit in plus size clothes too. Apparently once you get over a size 16 there's nothing you want more than moronic slogans all over your clothes.

Good work. I finally found the precise Ben Sherman shirt I have always longed for in a charity shop for £4. It looks to be almost entirely unworn.

Fair play, I deserve that. Sorry
I'm getting on toward 50 now, so I really do have an excuse
I don't get it, I don't get it at all. Actually makes me angry!

Ben Sherman has some great designs.

Yes, there seems to be a lot of cross over between clothes for older women and clothes for bigger women. I guess they think once you're past a certain age or weight, you don't give a shit any more. That, or they're just assholes. Certainly some of the comments I've seen from designers might support that view.

It was like twice my age, plus half my age, in one fell purchasing swoop, wufts!
I don't know whether I'm coming or going!

top one hasn't turned up yet. Second one is AMAZING- just big enough- about 5 inches across and lovely colours. Second from bottom (pineapple) looks really cheap. Bottom is nice but a bit too small and tasteful for me- I would have preferred a fat chunky rope.I've had a bit of a splurge on easy. I wear lots of plain black for work and a nice necklace just perks things up a bit…
And now I've found this <3

I am sticking with the fact that Sainsbury's sell brilliant clothes atm!
My mum bought me a load of stuff from there yesterday.
Mainly basics like black vest tops, black jeans etc but I got this... Ah bugger can't find a pic but it's a purple with black pattern jumper dress.
I love it but not sure if it suits me yet.
They do a really wide range of stuff. And thankfully sizes!

They really need to get online, it's annoying.

Yeah that is annoying but you can order what you want to pick up at your nearest store that does clothes.
Not so good if you're not in/near a built up area though.

Badgers got me some new PJs from MnS with a gift code.
They are so comfy and lovely colours (and stars)! I am dead pleased.
I think this goes to show that I spend more of my life in PJs than anything else
