in the sales so far? Here are mine:

From a Spanish chain called Blanco I have bought two tunic/dresses for half price reduced from 30 to 15 euros.

Turquoise with embroidered flowers in yellows, pinks, purples
Matching wooden bangle in the same colours
White linen dress/tunic with black flowers embroidered which looks very chic and I am hoping to find a chunky black pearl bracelet or possibly something black and ethinicy to match.

I got a super cute black scoop neck dress in the Dorothy Perkins sale for 15 pounds (down from 30), plus lots of bits from the Joe Browns website including a cute dress and a Cath Kidston-esque shirt/cami combo. Hopefully all of this should come in useful for work...

Twice this week, my jewellery has been commented on!

One rather posh lady asked me if my turqoise cuff bracelet was New Zealand Paua (:confused: Pardon??!!) The other occasion on a holiday excursion, referring to my 'antique' silver bangle, I was warned maybe it might attract the wrong sort of attention!

Hmm! £3 from Primark for the two!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was the sort of person who would blag it, but I'm not, I always confess to my cheapskate ways!!

It's not what you wear.....it's the way that you wear it!:rotfl:

Oooh check you out Bronnie! Paua is a kind of shell - they make loads of jewellery from it in NZ, it looks sort of pearlescent? Rubbish description!

I've spotted a cute floral skirt in the DP sale for £7 but with £4 p&p I think it's a touch steep - words of a true cheapskate!

Ah you are back Bronnie, how was your holiday and what happened to the trousers in the end?

Have posted on the daily thread already! Hol was fab thanks. Cropped trousers were left neatly folded in the wardrobe in Greece! Good riddance! Never wore them...made me feel too fat they were so baggy! The maid was tiny, so hope she might have a chubby SIL they might fit:rotfl:

Well done Bronnie. I've got a smart cotton jacket half price in Debenhams today.
