Due to the spending ban I couldn't go wild in the sales this year. In fact, I bought only one thing (and that only because I'd sold a few bits on eBay so had some spending money): this dress from Joy, an utter bargain at £15 down from £60.
Teamed with an ancient Primark cardigan in green and a pair of Dotty P's heels, it's perfect for work - made out of a light but lined fabric, it's comfortable to wear and with a high enough neckline to hide the boobs of doom from teenage eyes. It's really well cut, too, giving me the illusion of a flat stomach and not pulling too much across the aforementioned boobs. Not bad for fifteen quid.
