[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Look at all your pretty pretty clothes, urban ladies!

I've bought a cashmere blend cardi from Uniqlo and a pair of shorts from H&M. Shorts!

 

[mentalchik]

[Ms T]

I got some gold skinny jeans from H&M - might wear them to work tomorrow.

I saw some and was tempted but decided that would be a very BAD idea

Not strictly a purchase, but look what the boy got me for Christmas

 

[wayward bob]

well done that boy

 

[Ms T]

Oooh lovely.

I am wearing my gold skinny jeans to work. They are even smaller than the usual bonkers and random H&M sizing - I had to buy a size 16 (I'm usually a 12) and they're still tight!

Crikey - just as well I didn't then. I fear there may have been tears in the changing room

I am remarkably sanguine about it tbh.

 

[wayward bob]

curse those swedes and their bonkers sizing

I love that birdcage print btw - that was the one I tried on in the Collectif shop (but in a different style of dress) - I decided against it in the end because I really don't "need" another dress.

[wayward bob]

sooooo shopping thread: which online sales should i be visiting in order to splurge my christmas cash?

 

[wayward bob]

well without your guidance i've ordered this thought it would make a good everyday dress - i've been living in my chikky ones since i got them. it's prolly gonna be too small though

A random buy.

 

[weepiper]

a sixties tartan shirt dress that I can't post a pic of because Ebay make it infernally difficult to copy image urls

 

[wayward bob]

ooh i've been browsing ebay for shirt dresses today. while i was there i remembered i've been wanting a tartan dress for ages too spooky

i've just been looking through the book mr b got me for xmas. it's almost as good as actually owning all those beautiful things

 

[moose]

have just ordered this

Oooh, that's nice. I've been toying with the idea of this

 

[pigtails]

have just ordered this

OMG love!!!

 

[pigtails]

Mr tails bought me these necklaces for Christmas....

 

[Greebo]

Got these for ViolentPanda, not that he'll get much wear out of them from one year to the next, but at least he'll have them for when he's just about mobile.

 

[wayward bob]

OMG love!!!

isn't it sooooo fucking awesome it was the necklaces like yours that got me onto that search but i'm a sucker for handcrafted stuff and at just over £30 i reckon it's a bargain too

 

[Biddlybee]

is it glass?

 

[wayward bob]

yup made to order though, so i have to wait a leeeetle longer to get get my paws on it

 

[spanglechick]

so, i bought a big stack of stuff in the collectif 40% off sale, and some of it is going to have to go back because it's too big, or will be really soon. the pencil dresses and skirt are fine because they've a seam on each side and I can pin them and take them in, but the 'doll' (flared, fifties style) dresses would be a a PITA to alter.

I bought the dresses in size 16 and 14. the 16 doll dress is far too big, but the pencil dress is fine. the 14s are doll dresses and they're the right size now, but are a bit baggy on the waist and will only look worse when i've lost another 2.5 stone. I think they're all going to have to go back. No point having bargains if they won't fit me in a month or two's time. *sigh*

A coat for work - I have a few work trips to Switzerland coming up this winter and can't wear an army parka with my suit.
