^Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to wear it yet. When are you leaving? I could give you an update before you go, if I have worn it.

I know I got a lot of items, but the accessories were all too inexpensive to count as a part of my 4-5 items, and the jeans and all the basic wool sweaters I am also not counting. They were very reasonably priced, and my wardrobe and other 4-5-items will work much better now that I finally have a solid foundation of basics.

I actually forgot, but I also got a pink rayon shirt from uniqlo.

I think February will be a no-shopping month

You did good Really love that silk scarf.

I really thought I was done with this months shopping frenzy but today when I went grocery shopping I passed a new outlet store and came across this jacket. I was contemplating buying it (but in navy blue) when we reach fall but it was marked down so much that it would have been insane to not get it. Especially since I was contemplating getting it in this pattern.

I'm not leaving until late February, so I'd love an update before then. I've been into Uniqlo a number of times, but for some reason that store always overwhelms me so I never end up buying anything.

Custommade Felina jacket and Zara scarf. Bought on a Second Hand market.

The jacket I considered getting when it was in store, so I feel very lucky that I was able to get it, almost never worn and at a very decent price. The scarf I saw on this board sometime during the fall but decided not to get it since I had just bought a BOSS scarf. I ended up wearing that scarf so much that I think it will be nice to have two to alternate between.

I feel bad But your haul made me feel better

I have gotten some great pieces and things that were on my list - no regrets. But still I can see that my living-situation (the water damage) affects my shopping habbits. I tend to buy more when things are not really working out for me. I bought a lot of things in November as well, where the thing started.

I wouldn't mention that too loudly... Before you know it retailers will be throwing water through all of our kitchen windows

Haha - we would not want that happening

So many gorgeous pieces ! I absolutely the tights Jina!
Betina, I hope you love those boots ! They are the best
Eizohwa your bank account must be so glad and relieved that you are not living in London

 

[Nymphaea]

Love your tights too Jinadaze!
eizhowa Wow a shopping spree! But each piece looks wonderful, great taste, you can shop for me.
Betinapple You'll have fun with those Acne boots years to come.

I bought these 100% merino wool sweater and cardigan. In real life the quality looks exquisite, a little shine on the fabric. Hopefully it stays that way.

@Eva: so far I am very happy with them. I haven't worn them a lot yet though since we have had snow and I couldn't bare to expose my new babies to salt yet.

@Nymphaea: I am pretty sure that you are right about that. I love your new knitwear - such great classics. Looking forward to hear how they will hold up.

@Softgrey: I used to be very stingy about spending money on my hair but nowadays I feel like it is much more important than pretty clothes since I have to "wear" my hair every day. A really good haircut might do the trick as well.

I need to buy a basic white T shirt that is nice and made of quality materials! Any recommendations where I could look for it? Links are welcome

^I have heard great things about Everlane.

I have a tee from Acne that I really like the quality of, but the cuts usually aren't the most basic and they can be a bit pricey.

I just bought one of these G-Star zed leather buffalo belt. Soon as I saw it I thought it was gorgeous, I tried to resist the urge to buy it but it didn't work. £45 well spent though I think
