Okay - this is what I'm currently after:

  • sandals, low heel (not wedge, maybe block), 2 piece, ideally black and tan but black OR tan would do at a push
  • a flattering white top, either v or scoop neck, natural fibres, fairly fitted but not clingy
  • a cropped but not too cropped cotton or silk/cotton mix black or grey fitted cardigan OR something that isn't a cardigan but that I can shove on over a cami to hide the tops of my arms - needs to be fitted and short
  • tan shoe boot things, with a heel sturdy enough for dancing in, maybe with some sort of cut-out detail

There are other things, too, but that lot will do for now!

What sort of budget are you on? Not that I can neccesarily help, you understand, but it will give more avid personal shoppers a clue as to what exactly you're after Smile

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2014 18:03

Cheap! M&S prices, rather than Westwood.

Boden cropped cardie available in two different types of grey and navy, but not black. Sale on this week.

They also have this shorter sleeved cropped cardigan but not available in grey or black, but do have navy.

MaryWestmacott · 30/05/2014 18:14

oh wait, bargain option - tescos cropped cardigan in black for £8.

topshop block heeled sandals

www.next.co.uk/g392254s7#650776g39 I have been looking at these shoe boots for a little while...maybe not tan, more a kind of stone colour.

tan shoe boots

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2014 18:20

Thanks, both. Not sure about either of those cardigans and not fond of the sandals. Shoe boot things are a good shape but I don't want suede. Sorry to be awkward.

I bought a lovely sleeveless top from h&m the other week - v neck, with a gathering from the point of the v. Fitted but certainly not clingy. They do it in navy and yellow too.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2014 18:21

Like the Clarks ones but want more shoe-ish, if that makes sense?!

I think these sandals are nice.

tethersend · 30/05/2014 18:29

black and tan

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2014 18:33

Black and tan ones are gorgeous. Exactly what I want. But we haven't got &Other Stories here, and have completely given up on online ordering. Also, probably need a three and a half, and they don't do half sizes. :(

black and tan

tethersend · 30/05/2014 18:36

Bugger it, they're worth a trip to London Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2014 18:36

Ooh yes. Love em! Cheers, Tethers. Sizing might still be a problem, but I'll deffo be trying those on.

OP posts:
MrsLettuce · 30/05/2014 18:36

not fitted though

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2014 18:37

Got back from London on Weds!

Cotton tops may be hard. Have you tried Gap for them?

My best hunting grounds for white tops are warehouse, oasis and sometimes Zara. White stuff have some nice ones too but I've never bought just seen them in store or online.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2014 18:41

Not fond of that Cos cardi, sorry. Like this though

Warehouse, Oasis and Gap haven't got what I'm after. Have already looked.

I like this but think it will be too cropped.

Shoe boot options

cheap

Dune

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2014 18:43

I like the Dune ones, thanks - but have already tried them on and the four was too big. :(
