I'm going shopping today, suggest 3 key pieces please!

[IWantToLiveInPawnee]

I'll be going to Zara and Topshop, I already have a really good basic wardrobe (not bragging but I'm a keen shopper!)

What 3 things should I add for spring/summer?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I like denim minis, so there. Gah to you! :) No more boring than jersey minis, which I also like.

[BlueEyedWonder]

Camo jacket
Blue and white fine stripe shirt
denim skirt

[IWantToLiveInPawnee]

I'm back, ridiculously busy, so I swerved actual purchases and did an Internet order!

Soft checked shirt (in red/blue/white check)
Silky, black bomber
Blue, tassel loafers
Black, plain D'orsay flats

I fancy a soft pink bomber but am wondering if 1, I'm too old (40's) and 2, what colour/style footwear would you team it with???

Thanks for all the suggestions, I may have to add some of those to the bucket list.

[IWantToLiveInPawnee]

My wardrobe (not including winter stuff)

Black, grey, grey/green, dark, mid-blue skinnies
Grey jersey blazer
Black and grey biker jackets
Blue, soft bomber
Blouses and shirts (flowing and feminine in prints and plains)
Several 'good' t-shirts in brights and neutral colours
Snake print trainer/slip on things
Grey tasseled loafers
Black patent loafers

Plus the bits I've jus bought.

Now on my list - pale pink jacket of any description and possibly a yellow or sky blue faux leather biker jacket from Zara.

[IWantToLiveInPawnee]

That's just Spring stuff, not summer. Ps, all this has been compiled over a few years and I only ever really buy classics, am an avid bargain hunter and very rarely pay full price for anything (except in Zara for trend pieces and Topshop for skinnies (Leighs).
