Life's too short, buy it!!:D

Definitely not too young airy fairy... Get get get get it!

Airyfairy12 · 17-05-2021 10:41pm

Done! I didnt need much convincing.
I think it could be nice with a tan and some converse or sandels from Pennys, hopefully we get a bit of a summer so I can actually get to wear it!

And two tees. I normally live in plain tees for summer but wanted something a little more interesting this year so will give these a go.

Both going back, miles too big!

I bought a pair of basic Tevas yesterday in Schuh. Worked out at €50.40 with 10% student discount.
Of course the next day its absolutely brutal outside!:pac:
I'm considering picking up one of the colored pairs over the next few weeks if these stay as comfortable as they feel around the house.

meeeeh · 20-05-2021 11:01am

Tevas are brilliant. I did whole month of inter railing around Europe in them in mid nineties. I don't think they changed much since then and for me they are even more comfortable than Birkenstocks.

Twee. · 21-05-2021 10:48am

As someone eyeing up Tevas the last while, and lives in Birkenstocks in the summer usually... SOLD!

Ciarrai76 · 24-05-2021 8:41pm

I bought these trousers in Dunnes as I'd seen really similar ones on Zara for a lot more! The Dunnes ones are only €20. I got mine in a size 10 and they fit perfectly. They are a lovely fit. I intend to wear casually with trainers.

Oohh, love those trousers. I'm back in work so they'd be perfect, cheers !

they are very comfortable, the back has an elastic waist. They are a little long on me, but I like rolling up trousers/jeans on the leg and wear casually. I might check out if they have any more as I was rushing when I got them. They have an identical pair on Zara which are way more expensive!

Ciarrai76 · 27-05-2021 6:12pm

I got this Helen Steele hoodie in Dunnes yesterday, reduced to €12 (from 30!). There were only XSmall left, but they looked like a big fit and it fits just right. I think, a small or medium would have been too baggy/wide.

Its lovely on with black skinny jeans and very comfy. They seem to be sold out online so just what's left in store.

Twee. · 29-05-2021 12:56pm

Picked these up with Asos 20% off, thinking they'll be a good all-rounder for summer. Block heel, not too high.

And these jeans I'd been eyeing up, they went on sale and the discount worked on top of that. God bless the wishlist feature! I load it up and wait for my moment when the codes strike :pac:

I got these from Safura.ie (they have a local shop where I am, but sold out of the green ones). They are too long for me, so I dropped them in to the alteration shop to get them turned up a bit.

I got two tops from ASOS in their sale. I haven't ordered from them in a while as I was annoyed at their really slow refunds, but I am finding it hard to get anything I like in shops since they opened and online so I had to order!

Oasis tshirt reduced to €6.95!

I ordered these from the Una Healy website. I had actually ordered them from a different shoe shop online about a week ago in the pink trim colour, but they are very small fitting, so my usual size 6 was more like a 5 and I had to send them back. They didn't have a size 7 so I decided to order directly from her own website. They seemed like lovely quality when I got them and look fab. The grey is a nice colour too.

I had to return the Una Healy trainers. They are very bad fittings, they run much too small. The 7 was a big snug too and they come up quite high at the back and it felt uncomfortable. I didn't want to risk it and never wear them! They look lovely, but not a great fit.

Twee. · 15-07-2021 10:02am

Picked these up in the Adidas sale. I don't think I'll be in heels much this year so I can at least have a little bit of extra height in my runners!

SmallTeapot · 22-07-2021 2:32pm

Bought a few bits and pieces over the last while...

I don't have any midi dresses - I'm not sure if the style suits me (fingers crossed that these two are somewhat flattering).

Vero Moda

ONLY Floral Midi dress

I also bought a pair of ankle boots and printed trousers :)

Paisley print trousers from ONLY

Biker ankle boots from Les Tropéziennes

Ciarrai76 · 22-07-2021 7:12pm

Those boots are gorgeous! Do you have a link to them?

Ciarrai76 · 22-07-2021 11:58pm

I got a few things on Asos in their sale. I wasn't planning to get anything!

These Toms espadrilles were reduced to €26.95 from €70.99! I have a pair of Toms that I wear a lot in the summer and they are so comfy! Toms alpargata rope espadrilles in grey | ASOS

These gym leggings. they have a tie waist which i like, but I have no luck with leggings fitting me, or that I like, so chances are they may be returned!

And this jumper (mental in a heatwave I know!). I have been looking at it for a while and its reduced to €12 so just getting it for the winter! ASOS DESIGN oversize jumper with stripes in blue | ASOS

Aisling(",) · 26-07-2021 1:15pm

I picked up this dress for 22 euro in New Look. I've a few people coming over to my garden on Saturday (weather permitting) for my birthday and figured this would do the job.

I've been eating rings around myself and wanted something that would hide a multitude of my sins.

Ciarrai76 · 31-07-2021 10:06pm

My ASOS order arrived and nothing to send back! The leggings are nice on, my only complaint is the waist band could do with a bit more support for the tummy, but at least it has a tie waist so no slipping (already tried out in the gym!). Love the jumper and the Toms shoes are lovely, although its been to rainy to wear them yet!

banoffe2 · 07-08-2021 8:14pm

ONLY MIDI DRESS.PNG

Any ideas what to wear with this, love the colour mix and small print, would love to do something different like pick up one of the colours like the reds , blues or even yellow

Ciarrai76 · 08-08-2021 11:27pm

I bought these cuffed tencel joggers in Dunnes a few days ago. They are so comfortable on! Only €15. Seem to be sold out online, but I got mine in my local store.

I love those, I got a similar pair in mint velvet which were reduced to €35 which was a steal!

Recently purchased a few linen shirts in the KM sale - good quality and bought a size up so I can wear oversized or tie at the waist.

I also buy one or two big ticket items a year and I finally splurged on a pair of boots I have been coveting the last few years. They're so comfy, I think I will get a lot wear out of them in the summer and winter. Ii am glad I followed advise to run a 1/2 size down!

The days have been a bit dreary so got myself a new pair of boots to brighten it up. Schuh were doing 20% off for students and these were in a kids size so worked out at 70 euro. They're handier than my usual docs with the zip and they're different to anything I own.

Ciarrai76 · 04-10-2021 9:54pm

I haven't bought much recently. I got a couple of jumpers in Penney's but I can't find any images for them. I got this on Zara tonight (the stripe addiction continues! lol)

STRIPED SWEATER - striped | ZARA Ireland

Ciarrai76 · 08-10-2021 8:29pm

I have to return the Zara sweater. I'm so disappointed! Its lovely but its too short on me and the neck is very tight, which would just annoy me. Such a shame!
