Well, I do what I can, really. I’ve been such a good girl the last few months, squirreling money away, paying bills and rent and of course there was the holiday season. I stayed away from the sales where I quite possibly would have bought anything that resembled a “bargain”, regardless if it fit me/suited me/made any sense whatsoever. And my good behaviour has been rewarded!

Husband and I received some gift vouchers for M&S so we decided to go and have a gander yesterday. He picked up a shirt and a much needed new pair of jeans, and I bought a Spring coat. An odd thing as I have never bought a Spring coat before and further more, it was pink (I would not classify myself as a pink person). But the fit was gorgeous and with the voucher it only cost me £20 so why not?

Blue Harbour Pure Cotton Big Check Shirt, £9.50, M&S

Limited Collection Pure Cotton Double Breasted Mac, £49.50, M&S (Looks so much better in real life!)

And then there is my favourite place on Earth: Boden. All hail Boden! Oh how I love anything and everything in their catalogue. I can’t even begin to tell you how long I spend just looking at random articles of clothing on their website. Anyway, my obsession aside I did some very thrifty shopping online last week and wound up paying less than half price for all three purchases. Sigh, perfection.

Pretty Petal Top, was £35 now £10.50, Boden

Double Layer Twisted Top, £25, Boden

Wideleg Linen Turn-ups, was £69 now £20.50, Boden

And, if you remember, from one of my previous posts I was lusting over some Clarkes shoes and the new Vera Wang perfume, Look. I managed to get both of those on sale as well. I also have a sneaking suspicion I might be receiving my Equinox pendent from Silver By Mail from a certain someone in about 11 days time… Lucky me!
