Oh dear....I have been on the lookout for some summery type shoes other than sandals (ie can't always be bothered to paint my nails and get cold toes from the aircon)....unfortunately have suddenly decided I want some shoe-boots, in a brogue style, with a heel I can stand to wear for the day (not to specific then lol!)

Stumbled across these.... http://www.office.co.uk/womens/office/brogue_baby/33/8139/21656/1?fs=8139

they might bust the budget!

I'm still lusting after the last pair of fabby two tone suede ones you flaunted & taunted me with .

Resist, resist, you must resist :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl: sorry guys. Didn't mean to flaunt and taunt

Lula - if it makes you feel any better i tried on the two-tone suede ones, and disappointingly they weren't actually that comfortable so I didn't buy them :A, hence I'm now on an alternative hunt

Hello all!

Shoes are not a weakness of mine so you cannot tempt me kerri with your links to shoes

Bought a bolero style cardi from Mr A's last night, only went in for bread and fruit . Well, DH paid but I'd have probably bought it on our next trip there so I'm adding it to my total. Will go well with the £10 summery dress I got from Matalano a couple of weeks ago

*skulks out of corner *

I confess to having been in hiding as thought I had basically blown this by March :rotfl: but decided I should show up for a sort of quarterly update

However a combination of utter fussiness and a reminder from the lovely Lula-Hula that clothes do not necessarily make the fabulousness means that most of the mail order temptations went back.

My total currently stands at £195, which is a whole lot better than I thought it was going to be. And importantly, just about everything has been worn lots and loved - exceptions being red leather gloves which are waiting for next winter to be properly exercised, snow trousers because haven't had time to get back to ski lessons (they were a TK Maxx bargain anyway), and the butterfly print chiffon undies I bought in Accessorize today (they are completely pointless in terms of coverage/ support, but so pretty that I Wanted them anyway - will just wear them for bed). Most expensive things are a FatFace print dress for £45 - I love it, have worn it loads and had compliments; and a lime green mac that I got in the sale for £50 instead of £300 :T and am also wearing - it will get more exercise over the summer.

Have started sorting through my summer stuff for when/ if the weather gets better and found several fab things I'd forgotten about. There will be some that must be Ebayed though as also finding things I've hung onto because I felt bad about replacing them even though they don't suit me therefore I don't wear them. It may be a very long time before I actually get round to Ebaying them though .

**tracey**

I have a few more spends to declare

£45.50 on a new winter coat in the sales
£26 on a going out top

I am loving reading about everyones lovely purchases, have more spends to declare only boring underwear, had no choice I was desperate for some new stuff so another £18 spent.
I'm still trying to lose weight so I can buy lots of lovely new stuff and this thread is helping keep me motivated.
