remus Crew Clothing (a la TKMaxx) is J Crew, and there's no shipping duties to the UK now as they have European distribution anyway.
Crew is really good quality btw, I'd say better than Boden, but very £££ for Brits due to £ collapse- it was much better value 7 a few years ago.
DD has a lovely Crew sweater bought from TKMaxx just a month ago, really soft sweatshirt material, very cosy now it's gone a little colder.

jumper dresses- Sainsburys seem to have done really good ones for the last 2 or 3 years, not all polyester either.

I shall be wearing:
Tweedy trousers (last year's)
Grey wool Flannel trousers (as I have worn since time immemorial, as it's the only way I can keep warm)
wool knit tank tops over unironed crisp cotton shirts
navy blue Guernsey sweater with thin white stripes (boden SS13 sale)
Navy Lexington swingy skirt (boden ss13 sale)
Navy cigarette pants (are you seeing a theme here?)
Navy polo necked long-sleeved top
grey polo necked long-sleeved top
grey bedford cords (gap AW11)
Grey knit sweater dress
Navy knit sweater dress

I want-
pointelle long-sleeved layering tops of some description (DD has fabulous ones from JL and boden, and they're so toasty, I'm always Envy)
new waterproof coat (feel in my bones this will be a wet winter)- bit of a desperate need really- have no waterproof coat of any description!
Some sort of dress- would like something perhaps with a print for work, to go over a pointelle top or polo neck, but also a new grey knitted sweater dress to replace the one my son bit clean through! Hmm He was in a biting phase last winter, and ruined my favourite!
Would love to get slightly away from the navy/grey combo that forms 90% of my wardrobe - greens would suit me best I think (I think I'm a soft autumn- leafy, autumnal colours do seem to suit me)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/08/2013 22:19

Re Crew Clothing - I think it can't be J Crew because I Googled it and it has shops in the UK now, whereas J Crew don't. It looks more like a sort of old fashioned British knitwear sort of place.

Oh no re the bitten dress!

Sconset · 14/08/2013 22:25

Ha- you're right about crew! J Crew is really good quality, and what I have bought DD is Crew Clothing- but it is really lovely quality!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/08/2013 22:28

The jumper I saw in TK Maxx was gorgeous and looked good quality, but I can't be faffed with handwashing.

My washing machine has a handwash cycle, so I guess I'd do it in that. Was it a grey jumper??? I have such a love of grey! I'm so boring... Grin

Slim jeans, layered tops - breton stripy T/denim shirt, merino knits, beads. And I really want this, but think I'll look a dick.

BeingMoreDog · 15/08/2013 08:51

oh, and this tweed jacket perhaps.

SilveryMoon · 15/08/2013 09:03

I really need to get myself clothes shopping.
Lots of skinny jeans here. I am a larger size (18 and 5ft 11) and mostly wear black trousers and baggy tops which make me look a lot bigger than I am, so if you don't mind, will be keeping a close eye on this thread to inspire a new look?
Any tips much appreciated Smile

AnxiousAugusta · 15/08/2013 09:21

Mum boots
Bootleg jeans

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/08/2013 10:01

Love the idea of shopping for a Morris Minor alongside a new wardrobe. :)

Silvery - it would be worth starting a new thread, so your questions don't get lost on here. In the meantime, are you looking for mostly work stuff or casual?

SilveryMoon · 15/08/2013 10:32

Thanks Remus maybe I will. Work is casual so don't necessarily need 2 separate wardbrobes Wink

amessagetoyouYoni · 15/08/2013 12:36

Abandoning skinny jeans this season for slim/straight legs. Need to find my perfect pair, though....hmmm...

I'll be wearing lots of pretty pairs of tights underneath fitted dresses, with shexy, tarty black over the knee boots (Boo Hoo have some wicked rip off Lanvin ones!).

Gonna go glam and femme this season. Summer fashion was so lack lustre and shapeless in the UK this year.

I really want a fabulous, swishy, luxe coat.

Sconset · 15/08/2013 21:18

CerealMom- I love your look!

Snoods in oxblood and grey
Cashmere gloves in raspberry and grey (johnstons)
Grey 'knobbly' pearls, embarrassingly I don't know what they are actually called...(vintage)
Tea dresses in a multitude of colours (Topshop, vintage, ASOS)
Black cropped leather biker jacket
Chunky grey scarf (ASOS)
Burberry Pink Azalea lipstick
Ankle boots in grey and black (Autograph at M and S!)
Lots of opaque tights in black and oxblood (Falke)
Navy stud sleeve coat (Zara, very last year but I don't care!)
Maxi skirts in peach and black
Blouses in cream, soft blue and mustard

Luckily these are things I already have, though I'd like a faux fur hat and a cashmere cardigan if funds will allow.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/08/2013 13:24

Always - you have just reminded me of my gorgeous cashmere wrist warmers, my very favourite item of A/W attire!

Usual stuff - slim leg vintage wash jeans, black skinnies, dresses tights and tan ankle boots (knackered so need new ones)
