I got a fab frock off ebay. It looked nice but weird colours on the pic, so I took a chance on it being better in the flesh, and it is:

It's a lovely silvery grey satin with black and red flowers! Result.

16/18 US size or UK size?

UK size, as estimated by me by comparing their size chart with a UK one.

Yep. I've bought quite a bit over the years from there and a 2XL comes up short on me and I'm a 16/18.

 

[Greebo]

Okay have you tried Evans and Simply Be?

 

[quimcunx]

A bold choice, I think. Need an excuse to wear it.

it's gorgeous. 60s aline tunic dresses were all over the autumn winter catwalks.

Omg I bought some short dungarees they sound hideous, but they are really cute! Navy heavy cotton with a white floral print!

 

[Greebo]

Well done for finding something you like.

I just got a really nice cowl neck sort of poncho style jumper, it looked really shit on the hanger, but it's lush on, it's got these little arm holes so when it's on it looks like it has proper sleeves, but it hasn't.

Ted baker, £119 reduced to £20.

 

[Biddlybee]

bargain!

this t-shirt by my favourite t-shirt label 2k (£1 from ebay, brand new )

the text on the t-shirt says 'rock & roll' apparently, not 'child molester' as i was initially concerned...

 

[killer b]

spanglechick made me buy this:

By "made me" what I mean is, she bought it and I copied her!!

 

[weepiper]

I didn't buy boots. I did buy a secondhand DS Lite for my daughter's birthday, and a raft of uniform and bags and stationery for her and her wee brother going back to school. Which is nice for them but I want boots

 

[Biddlybee]

If I win lottery (ok, if he wins lottery) i'll buy you boots weeps.

I bought 2 hats from H&M. One is a black 70's floppy/jaunty affair & the other a burgandy tribly-esq affair. I nearly bought a 3rd but my sis was with me and 3 hats felt excessive in her prescence!

 

[Ms T]

A pair of pleated wide culottes from H&M and a pair of cropped mustardy coloured trousers, also from H&M.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Black Spring Court shoes.

An old Krokodil Gena pin badge off eBay.

 

[spanglechick]

A pair of pleated wide culottes from H&M and a pair of cropped mustardy coloured trousers, also from H&M.

aha! the pleated culottes look claimed you in the end.

 

[killer b]

some vintage patches, for patching jeans with...

 

[Badgers]

Got some trousers from Craghoppers which are really good

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Bought some poncey wellies. Now I can go on country walks

 

[Boppity]

Egg shell blue nail varnish was my most recent splurge.

...I hate being skint.
