I love e&f so much, but just can't click order for a £50+ dress, some weird inbuilt oversensible wiring

£40 with the discount, which is the same as the pearl lowe ones i rarely buy more than 1 or 2 things at retail price per season, the rest is all ebay/sale/tkmaxx. (this would count as full retail, not sure even i could stretch to 50 for a cotton dress)

just how well would they go with that second dress? :sigh: any time

I can't do £40 either

too much pattern, would go great with a dotty or non-patterned dress though

 

[wayward bob]

too much pattern

no such thing

Oliver Bonas makes me snigger

My last purchase was a pair of maternity jeans off ebay, for £1.04. We are skint but I have no maternity clothes and an ever-growing bump.

 

[RubyToogood]

I want this dress but they've only got it in a size 16 and I broke at the moment anyway.

If we're on the subject of dresses we want but can't have, I am very aggravated that this doesn't come in my size, although tbf £85 is far too much and the colour probably wouldn't suit me anyway:

 

[Callie]

*want* but HOW MUCH ?!


(its NEW apparently)

 

[Cribynkle]

Loving those Irregular Choice sandals, I'm very sad that they're £130

 

[Cribynkle]

I got this for £12 from ebay the other day it's arrived and am very pleased with it - hurrah!

 

[Geri]

Bought a grey waxed Maine jacket from Debenhams but it looks so dull I am taking it back.

Ordered some Gortex Merrells from Amazon for £34, reduced from £80.

Got a lovely dress from Tesco but it's very cleavage revealing, so I need to get a camisole to go underneath.

 

[wayward bob]

pretty pretty i'm quite glad the sandals are that much tbh, puts them firmly out of lusting distance...

 

[geminisnake]

this wasn't here last night! hence the second post!

Got some purple skinny next jeans from the charity shop for £2. Will drying them on the radiator make them shrink any or does that not work anymore??

 

[Detroit City]

i bought some new underwear

Laura Ashley have got some lovely frocks this season, but they're well pricey. Actually, I'm noticing now that lots of clothes have gone up quite a bit - a combination of the rise in VAT and the rising cost of cotton, I suppose. M&S have got loads of stuff that's around £70-80.

 

[Ms T]

I got two vintage dresses today - one is a seventies maxi in that French toile de jouy print. The other is late fifties I think in a beautiful floral print. It's a "midi" I believe.

hot tumbling might work but radiator wouldn't ime - i used to dry everything on the radiators with no noticeable shrinkage.

i need a shopping intervention

my quest for red wedges turned up these

and i have to admit my trusty merrells after about 5 years need replacing too so i'm pinning my "walking sandals" hopes on these

 

[Ms T]

I've needed one for years!

I need some vintage tips from you MsT
