Best bargains in on-line sales

Thanks for this post - just ordered some lovely bright coloured leather gloves from John Lewis sale £6 - £9.50 depending on colour, bought one pair as a gift and another for me!

I've just treated myself to a very nice tunic from Gudrun Sjoden, I hope 33 madder red is like the second photo of it, not the first!

Oh yes. I hope so too, thanks

I hope it won’t be too long now before you can go out again, Doodledog. It’s been a long year, hasn’t it

I too have lots of coats. When I was working I needed them for rainy days, warm days, warm days that looked like rain, cold days, cold rainy days. I needed coats to wear over dresses to look smart, over trousers to look casual, over trousers to look smart, and so on.

I now need somewhere to put them all, and haven't left the house since March, so I can safely say I've got enough

Marydoll We’re obviously women of taste ???

jainainsworth I cannot bring myself to reveal how many coats I have. ? We are simpatico.

Every colour, every length, lightweight, heavyweight, inbetween weight, evening coats, fur coats etc, etc! ?
I too have a black, Boden velvet coat from many moons ago.

I bought a slow cooker/crock pot of Amazon for £14. I have really put it to use with soups, stews

Marydoll & Doodledog Re how many coats is enough. I had a lightbulb moment many years ago now, when a fashion columnist in the Telegraph wrote something along the lines of, a coat or jacket shouldn’t be thought of as just something to cover up your outfit with, but as part of the outfit itself.

I took this advice to heart & it’s my justification for my, er, coat collection.

I think my favourite is a black velvet one from Boden which is probably 25 years old. It rarely sees the light of day now, but I still love it ?

Janeainsworth Lovely coat.

The coat got an outing today. Went for my jab.

That’s great you had your jab! Is the coat site ok then?

Have bought some lovely wynciette nightdresses from Pure Night. Never heard of this retailer before but stumbled on them as was having trouble getting my size from others. They give points on purchases too and £5 off initial order. Packaged beautifully and free delivery. Very pleased with quality.

Good idea for a thread.

I can't justify another coat either, although I love janeainsworth's. Such a great colour.

I am living in comfy jumpers and leggings, so can't possibly justify buying clothes just now, unless anyone knows of a good sale on 'loungewear' that would look ok on Zoom?

Not bought anything new in the sales, as already have a full wardrobe of half worn clothes, so not worth buying anything else as nowhere to go to wear it.

Cosy

Winter coat from Debenhams reduced to less than half price from their Maine range it's warm and cost but light weight

janeainsworth another ?.

Note to self, I do not need another coat.......

I've had a few nice bargains from the Joe Browns sale, though. I have bought a maxi skirt and dress and a beautiful dark red coat with a hood and cape effect on my shoulders. As it is a fitted top and flared bottom it helps minimise my rather too generous hips.

I like the shirt on other people - the tall, slender variety- but l do not come into that category so it would not suit me.

That coat looks lovely, Petra - I have a very similar green one, from Adini. Have you bought from that site, though? I see they’re based in China and many of those companies have a bad reputation for quality.

Petra ?

Bought this dress recently from Lily and me (https://www.lilyandmeclothing.com/). Looking forward to wearing it somewhere one day! They’re a fairly cheap and cheerful site - not classic clothes at all - jolly, everyday stuff for holidays, mooching in shops and markets (remember that?!), etc. Sale on at the moment.

I just bought a magic sculpt swim dress from simply b for £9 am so chuffed as I have seen them for sale up to £100, have always wanted one but could not justify the cost as mine do not last long, couple of months as I try and swim a few times per week (when NOT in lockdown) I suppose they are not selling enough swimwear due to no holidays or pools open, am mega chuffed with my bargain cannot wait to wear it! Really missing swimming!

I bought this coat (at the reduced price) from M&S a few weeks ago, really pleased with it.

My friend said internet shopping is fraught with disappointment! I like to see, feel and try on.
So no shopping at the moment till the shops reopen.

You just buy, get delivered, see, feel, try on as much as you like and send back (if you don't like it!)
