Found a Mango outlet in Tenerife while on holidays there recently. I was very excited but when I went in and tried things on I realised then why I dont own very many Mango clothes - the sizing is way out and I end up feeling like a short fat cow!

Got these red skinny jeans for €9.99, had to go up 2 sizes to pull them up on me:

This printed dress, my usual size didnt fit right so I went up a size and now I think it looks to big on me. €9.99

These jeans stood out to me in the shop, again I had to go up 2 sizes cos they weren't made for someone with thighs! Also they were made for some who is 7 foot tall! But I liked them too much, €12.99

They had lots of other nice things but a good lot of them just didn't fit when I picked up my sizes. I'm a 8-10 on top and 10-12 on the bottom and most things fitted like a 6 even when I read the labels for the correct sizing.

Ordered from Missguided

Alibear · 15-07-2014 12:53PM

Got this cute little Pussycat London dress reduced to €14 in the sales in Debenhams. It has a lovely bow detail on the back too - It was a size 8 and the last size left so I thought I better try it on in the changing rooms before buying, and it actually fit me perfectly! Really surprised!

Kintarō Hattori · 18-07-2014 11:04AM

€31 delivered from eBay. I've been humming and hawing over these for a while. The missus will happily wear a leather skirt but she may have reservations about these. Regardless of the fact they are quite in fashion, she's not one to follow trends so it's a gamble.

Ciarrai76 · 19-07-2014 12:34AM

got this t-shirt in Topshop this evening. It was reduced to only €7 (from about €23!). I can't find a link to it on their website, I think its sold out online.

Left is paper doll on Asos, right is carousel on exchequer street. Decisions decisions. Too many dresses, not enough nice occasions to wear them to

Yup she had reservations

These are actually in fashion but she didn't like it. No major issue wearing a leather skirt but not this. Ah well, I tried!

Bought these babies from Bertie for €50 in House of Fraser. They're mega comfy and I like the vintage-edge they have

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 27-07-2014 07:49PM

Got a few bits in the Carraig Donn sale

http://www.carraigdonn.com/Product/jaime-la-vie-viab-cream-top/218409/1.20.0 This one is much nicer in reality, the silver bits are like those 'Slinky' toys (a metal spiral) and they sit a bit lower than in the pic.

I look very silly in pattern stuff or those shirts from top man etc with designs. i keep it basic with most things, but like to look at detail or anything extra. couldn't believe what i both these for.

Zara leather biker jacket 159 euro. Can't stick in a good picture because they're far too big on the site. Been after one for a few years, finally found one that wasn't overly quilted or studded

Saw this dress in oasis a couple of months ago and was very tempted to get it....got it in the sales last week

whoop!

barleybooley · 01-08-2014 10:53AM

My god, the colour is AMAZING! Well wear

ceadaoin. · 02-08-2014 06:39AM

Just ordered these , converse by missoni. Can't wait for them to arrive now

jos28 · 08-08-2014 04:40PM

Finally, finally got sorted for 2 weddings. I posted 2 dresses here that I bought online and they both went back for refunds. I have searched town, Dundrum, Kildare, Malahide, Naas..... and could not find anything I liked or that fitted well.
Hit the jackpot in a tiny vintage shop called Quack and Dirk. Dress and shoes for less than €100. Sorry about the photos, the dress in SO much nicer in reality. Thinking of a gold clutch, bangle and maybe something ivory for my hair. No idea what though

[IMG][/img]

Shoes are much darker in reality

Edit: Just got this bag on ebay for €12

@jos I don't think id have picked any of the individual items but together I think you have a really stunning outfit! Totally individual. Id love to see it all together if you were willing to post a headless pic after your wedding.

jos28 · 08-08-2014 07:07PM

Thanks Yellow Hen, I really wanted something a bit different. I had a pain going round the shops looking at the same stuff over and over. The 2nd wedding is a big one and I was afraid that I'd end up in the same dress as someone younger and skinnier than me

The dress is so much nicer than the picture shows and she does alterations too. I'll gladly post a pic, cheers !

I got them from nordstrom.com. I'm in the US but I think they deliver internationally?

Just had a look and they are exclusive to Nordstrom for now but the range will be available on converse.com and elsewhere on 28th august

Birkenstock Mayari. Just ordered them from http://www.littletreeshoes.com/ Shipped from Dublin... €55. Had a pair just like them for years but one of the straps broke last summer.

Got this beauty today.No picture does it a justice, lovely flattering fit. With a tan belt and tan mary-janes it'll be perfect for work.

http://media.dorothyperkins.com/wcsstore/DorothyPerkins/images/catalog/61600294_2_large.jpg

While I know this is not a request forum, I would love if someone told me where can I find more of these, in different colours, navy, black, maroon...

With sleeves preferable

It's no help really but I got some similar dresses in Awear when they were around. New Look have some of the same brands so could be worth a try?
