Its the perfect stylish Mama sack! I think you were right to keep what you did &amp; return the others as they weren&#39;t quite right! Such a shame as both were lovely!

I thought it would have looked too formal for me, but I see now it would work with so many outfits. I&#39;ve just nabbed the canterbury clutch in Tan (thanks for thr heads up), but i have to buy a smaller purse as mine doesn&#39;t fit in it when its folded over. Your totally right about the star print blouse, I tend to keep my patterned blouses for work wear as they just look strange with jeans.

The jumper is lovely, how disappointing it didn&#39;t fit. I&#39;m with you on the blouse, I only seem to wear them in Summer or for work and not very often at that - more of a tshirt girl! xxJenny Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15702344918493480777[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-1014881709391697132014-01-29T20:46:17.082+00:002014-01-29T20:46:17.082+00:00The bag is just gorgeous....can&#39;t beat a tan bag!! That will go with so much!! Love the Emma top too.....such a flattering shape and good to dress up or down!! Shame about the sweater.....it looks perfect in the photo but some things are just not meant to be!!

I have the button back jumper in the grey spot and love it. I also love that blouse, I don&#39;t think it was that cheap when I did my order, so I&#39;m off to have a look before I join you in Frugal February!Style At Every Agehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651040515126111051[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-4842117355421322922014-01-29T16:07:56.150+00:002014-01-29T16:07:56.150+00:00That bag is just divine, perfect and won&#39;t date so definitely a good buy. It is great to see you trying on the clothes as the catalogues can be misleading, a bulldog clip here, pulling up the neck with a pin there and voila the top looks and sits perfectly on the model! The button back tops I have looked at too but I am a bit thick across the middle and I agree with you about the shirt it looks fab on you and as an extra would be lovely but, if you are like me, I have to make every piece of my wardrobe work....otherwise I feel guilty for spending it on myself!

You definitely did the right thing in returning the items you did, if you don&#39;t love something immediately they&#39;re not going to be something you wear that often. I bet you&#39;re going to get so much use out of your new bag.

Gutted about the jumper for you and for me. I had my heart set on one of the print ones but it gets such bad reviews this season. Apparently rubbish quality and stupidly small sizing. Which for good old gazelle me is a pile of poo. I agree with all your choices deffo. Love the idea of the shirt, like you&#39;ve said but I would honestly look like a newsreader in it - and a BBC one not a Sky one....... I think you have to be incredibly young and incredibly hip to wear it. Not that I&#39;m saying you&#39;re not but I definitely am not! Good haul though.

I have a spotty button back jumper but I would say not quite as fitted as the one you tried. The only thing with them is I constantly get people cracking the joke &quot;did you put your cardigan on the wrong way&quot;!!! It has put me off a little! I also had the star print blouse. I&#39;m very petite and the 6 was large on me. Like you I couldn&#39;t really work out how to wear it and I ebayed it in the end. mrs ebojoneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09642558066080940036[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-16543044174315443472014-01-29T07:18:29.900+00:002014-01-29T07:18:29.900+00:00I have the Evie bag in tan and it&#39;s been super useful.

The grey top really suits you. It&#39;s a shame about the blouse, but unless you love it and are certain, it&#39;s better to have the credit. Frugaldom is hard!

Love the grey top on you and the bag but I also like the blouse (well done for sticking to your guns though!). Great bargains!

The jumper with buttons on the back is a bit strange really. I can&#39;t imagine it working for many people. I also ordered two items from Boden from the last of their sale. They arrived today and both are keepers! I also ordered a pair of skinny jeans at the beginning of January and they are far too small. I only got around to returning them in the last day or two and I have to say, the Boden customer service is great. Can&#39;t fault them. <br />http://handbagsnappiesandwhiskers.blogspot.ie/Handbags, Nappies and Whiskershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05746571172842952747[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-10894145736681777372014-01-28T18:25:21.686+00:002014-01-28T18:25:21.686+00:00Buttons that are the only way to close a top/jumper down the back are the stupidest invention EVER #fact.<br /><br />I think you have kept what you need to and wisely returned all that doesn&#39;t work for you.<br /><br />I do love a good show and tell!Avenue 57http://www.blogger.com/profile/16088621843251474791[email protected]
