Today -

a Breton top from Hobbs - black and white with one red stripe

I also bought some of that 3 Day Syraight stuff from John Frieda - will report back!

An outfit for DBil's wedding last week - coast floral shift dress, cropped jacket and the most beautiful LK Bennet purple heels.

I have also bought a tunic/dress from Oasis sale and a grey smart t shirt from Matalan.

Some black leggings and a long flared brown/print top from river Island which has a fab square neckline plus a big waspy type belt.

I have just bought these boyfriend style chino cropped trousers from Uniqlo...

I have also bought these J Brand Earhart slouchy cropped trousers my sister lives in NY so has sent them over from there, but still ££££ but they did look lovely on.

Nothing exciting at all recently.
trousers

sandals

vest

Oh and some anti-redness Clinque powder. I am old.

I bought some Paige jeans at weekend. After years of buying 7's I much prefer these - they are higher at the waist too and sooo comfy. Expensive but well worth spending the extra for a nice pair of jeans.

chocolateteabag · 01/06/2011 22:48

I bought these shoes from LK Bennett last week (Sabira in taupe)
Have been agonising over them for ages - have now seen they have gone up from £140 last week to £150 this week so feel much better. They are my "back to work" shoes for August after 9 months of happy slovely ML

There will now be a 20% off code in a magazine in June to spoil my joy.

pointydog · 01/06/2011 22:54

A pale pale grey thin jumpery top with a sparkly (yes sparkly) neckline
a silvery grey t-shirt with ruched neckline

Both from gap and I love them both just now.

ggirl · 01/06/2011 23:05

I bought new sandals today .Look shite in the link but are lovely on me

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 01/06/2011 23:12

Pointy - do you have links? I love pale grey and it's good to know that Gap have nice things again, as I think they had hit a real low from about last October onwards.

herecomesthsun · 02/06/2011 04:34

I have the black and white and one red stripe Hobbs Breton. I was looking for something to spend my £25 voucher on, and actually it has been vv useful this summer.

JunoWatt · 02/06/2011 08:50

Yes pointy. Link

YesterdaysPants · 02/06/2011 09:50

A Superdry hoodie Grin

Don't laugh, I am pregnant and immune to your judging.

A hot pink blazer from Zara
Orange, blue and black colour block top from Zara
Gold wedges from Carvela
A blue, white and pink Breton top from Laura Ashley

ggirl · 02/06/2011 10:35

cyb- I bought them in store, I didn't realise either , loads more choice online than in the store I was in.

JunoWatt · 02/06/2011 12:16

the gap croppies are perfect and really stretchy as the reviews on teh gap USA site say
if these are the ones that are £35 in uk then these are they are longer on me than on amazon model

CliffTumble · 02/06/2011 12:20

I bought a navy dress with daisies on from great plains,

cyb · 02/06/2011 13:20

Juno you are lucky you suit that shape.

I've bought WAAAY too much stuff online so am going to have to reel it right in

I always do it at 11.00 at night....

Herecomesthesun - I've had my eye on the top for ages but I tried it on months ago and stupidly didn't buy it and it's eluded me ever since, until I finally found it in HOF on Oxford Street yesterday.

What have you been wearing it with? I've got some 7/8ths black trousers and some red ballet flats which I thought might be nice in a 'shame I don't look like Audrey Hepburn' sort of way.

SarkyLady · 02/06/2011 14:51

I bought this fab Mango dress on sale at House of Fraser (after much deliberating on another thread)...

Mango

and this Mint Velvet top (also on sale at HoF).

Mint Velvet

STEER ME away from the striped

mesmersied

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 02/06/2011 14:57

Diesel jeans in what I guess would have been called 'stone' in the 80s. I love them. I have a terror of smart trousers ? I think I look frumpy in them ? but am sick of jean-coloured jeans, so these are the answer to my prayers. I can wear a massive range of colours with these ones.

Also a chunky cotton white cardie from French Connection. Expensive but I love it and wear it over most things.

Hot-pink vest top from Dottie Perkins with a lovely bird print.

Am desperately looking for some shoes to wear with the jeans. I want a bit of a heel but not much and not spindly as I'm a heel lightweight. I want chunky straps and a colour that is NOT black or tan or bloody neutral. Blue or purple or orange would be good. Or maybe metallic ...

pointydog · 02/06/2011 17:31

This is the sparkly jumper, I think. It looks dullo in the photo but the band around he neck is silvery lurex and it's a pale pale grey shade, not mucky white.

I can't find the T. Think it's off site.

pointydog · 02/06/2011 17:32

And it's 3/4 sleeves, not long
