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!

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.

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!

Ciarrai76 · 06-07-2021 9:25pm

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.

Ciarrai76 · 15-07-2021 9:10am

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!

Aisling(",) · 30-09-2021 3:02pm

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!

jos28 · 29-10-2021 9:55pm

Bought this for the winter walks, it's much nicer than the pic shows. https://www.altura.co.uk/images/altura-twister-womens-insulated-jacket-p305-126053_medium.jpg

Also bought this from Powercut along with a pair of their FNCTL leggings. Fabulous quality and the cut of the jacket is very flattering. I'm so impressed that I'm going to buy the purple one.

I got this absolutely gorgeous military coat from Dunnes... afaik it only dropped on Wednesday and it's already sold out...!

(The pic below is from the dunnes stores instagram btw)

Ciarrai76 · 12-12-2021 8:52pm

That coat from Dunnes is gorgeous!! Must look out for it!

I ordered these boots from Safura today. I had seen them a while back and forgot about them. Can't find any ankle boots I like anywhere, so decided to try these. Faux Suede Pointed Boot - Taupe 39 | safura.ie

jos28 · 12-12-2021 9:00pm

Finally found my boots, I've been searching for these in my size for ages.

I bought these Nike trainers just before Christmas. Love them, so comfy! The nike swish at the side is glittery! So cute!

Ciarrai76 · 28-01-2022 9:38pm

I got this jumper in Mango today reduced to €20. They have a concession store in Shaws now. Love Mango!

Ciarrai76 · 31-01-2022 8:16pm

I ordered this parka jacket from ASOS last week, got it very quickly! Quite big fitting, but nice on. Still on sale on asos €21.95. it will be nice for Spring/summer. ASOS DESIGN lightweight parka in stone | ASOS

I also got these Puma joggers reduced too reduced to €25 Puma Essentials joggers in grey | ASOS

Ciarrai76 · 12-02-2022 2:24pm

I got this lovely jumper in Vero Moda yesterday. Reduced to €15 from €49.99. I had been looking at it for a while, but felt it was too expensive to begin with!

Ciarrai76 · 04-03-2022 9:51pm

I finally treated myself and ordered a pair of Veja trainers! I have wanted to get a pair of them for about 2 years! I couldn't decide on which ones, but I got the V-10. I ordered them directly from the Veja website. They were €130 with free delivery. Can't wait for them to arrive!

Sir_Name · 06-03-2022 7:55am

Are they comfy? I’ve yet to pull the trigger on those however Im so tempted

Ciarrai76 · 06-03-2022 8:40pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118739405#Comment_118739405

They haven't arrived yet, due in a few days. I'm praying they are comfy! I tried on a pair of someone I know, and they seemed nice, but I have heard they can be a bit stiff to start with, but mould into your foot! So fingers (and toes) crossed! ;)

Ciarrai76 · 08-03-2022 9:26pm

The Vejas arrived this morning! I love them! They are a bit stiff, but I have read that in reviews and that they do soften out and mould to your feet. The tongue is a bit annoying as it comes up quite high, but hopefully it won't be too bad. They will go with everything as the colour I got is so plain!

Ciarrai76 · 14-03-2022 8:34pm

I bought these wide leg trousers from M&S, they are sort of a tracksuit material I bought them in the short leg, but even then they are quite long! I'm just under 5'4 and they are still quite long for the short version. They are lovely though, really like them. The also come in regular and long leg. Side Stripe Wide Leg Trousers | M&S Collection | M&S (marksandspencer.com)

jos28 · 21-03-2022 6:53pm

I bought a pair of Vejas here, signed up for their newsletter and got 10% off

https://www.arket.com/en_eur/women/shoes/product.veja-campo-pink.0841293008.html

Not sure if I like them, as Ciarrai said, they are a bit stiff to begin with and they are definitely more comfortable now. They feel a bit plasticky though, I'll have to make to wear cotton socks with them

banoffe2 · 21-03-2022 7:55pm

Hi Ciarri76 I see these on a lady I behind me in the queue at the supermarket, thought they were absolutely fab on she was small and petite, they were very long almost touching the ground but a fab look on, they were the exact same style but the ones with the beige stripe, she told me she got them in Marks, I think they are best suited for small and petite or tall and skinny , well wear

Ciarrai76 · 23-03-2022 10:28am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118815362#Comment_118815362

I've worn mine a few times now and they are definitely softening and not as stiff. The tongue is a bit on the big size, but its not too bad. They do feel a bit plastic, I think they are some sort of leather uppers though. I love mine, glad I got the plain colour as they are going to go with everything. I've wanted them for so long now, glad I got them!

Ciarrai76 · 03-04-2022 11:15pm

I have a serious addiction to trainers now, I may need help!

Ordered these Nikes this evening. These were reduced to €58 from €89.99, but I did have an online Nike voucher too, so I don't feel too guilty! Nike Daybreak Women's Shoes. Nike IE

Ciarrai76 · 06-04-2022 7:59pm

The Nikes I ordered are reduced on Asos and there's an extra 30% off so great value! Nike Daybreak trainers in black and white | ASOS

I popped into Next today, not realising they had a sale on! I got this top in their sale.

I also ordered these joggers from ASOS

Russell Athletic R panel cuffed joggers in persian red | ASOS

Ciarrai76 · 17-04-2022 11:21am

I returned the red joggers to ASOS. They looked lovely, but very tight on and the white ribbed line up the middle of legs makes them too stiff and uncomfortable. Pity as they are a nice colour etc.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118938176#Comment_118938176

That's a shame. I was thinking they could be annoying to have the piping up the centre of the leg so it'd press into your knee anything you bent down. They're been in my wish list but time to let them go now!

Ciarrai76 · 30-04-2022 8:47pm

I got these tops in Mango (they have some lovely casual tops!). I got this one in their Shaws concession store Striped cotton t-shirt - Woman | Mango Ireland

I ordered this one online (wasn't in the shop)

Their site wasn't great to order on. I had issues with it not processing the order if I used a different delivery address, I had to have it the same as my billing (which I didn't want to do). I also had an online voucher for mango, which I entered and it had deducted, but when I got my payment confirmation it wasn't showing and I was charged the full amount. So annoying. Would put me off using their website again.

Message cotton sweatshirt - Woman | Mango Ireland

miamee · 03-05-2022 10:00am

I bought this from The Casual Company last week, nice fit, decent material and it has pockets, lol. Unfortunately the pockets stick out a bit on the hips but I found if I position the inside of the pockets towards the back, it looks much more smooth if that makes sense. Looking forward to wearing it in the warmer weather.
