For no reason other than I'm bored and nosey really!

Mine is a quilted trophy jacket, I bought earlier in the year on sale. I thought it would be useful on chilly mornings and I'm so pleased I bought it as its perfect for this purpose. I can chuck it on over a basic top and jeans style outfit and I look instantly put together and I'm not freezing!

I can't link as its not available anymore but if anyone replies, feel free to link your favourites! Wink

My Batman skirt that I made from an old curtain. It makes me snigger to myself whenever I see it.

I have just bought two leather jackets from eBay: a black Gap one and a maroon Next one. Do I like them both? Yes, they're soft and strokable...Blush

Knee length, button through, denim skirt from Monsoon. Love it.

Um... I have just bought a pair of dungarees. I am 41. Mid-life crisis... But looking forward to wearing them on Friday (when I don't work)!

Other than that, like my off the shoulder white cotton top (Zara) and navy leather jacket (jigsaw)

Slug - love the cocktail dress!! Wish my life needed one of those!

ephemeralfairy · 17/05/2016 20:14

Gold Reebok Classics. They make me smile every time I look down at my feet.

BlueEyedWonder · 17/05/2016 20:16

Topshop blue palm print shirt.
Colour really suits me, the print feels summery and it's one of the few items DH keeps saying he really liked (he hates the dungarees) !!

shirkingworking · 17/05/2016 20:18

Oh yes... Am fully aware DH will loathe the dungarees. Tough sh*t!

wobblywonderwoman · 17/05/2016 20:20

not really loving my wardrobe at the moment as I am trying to lose weight but I love my m&s indigo jeggings as they are flattering and comfy..I own five pairs

trinity0097 · 17/05/2016 20:23

70 denier nude tights, means I can look a bit more summery but still be encased in tights that are sturdy!

DoctorTwo · 17/05/2016 20:27

My Onitzuka Tigers Mexico 66 in the blue/red/white colourway. And my brand new One True Saxon tshirt with 6 Boxer dogs wearing Greyhound racing numbers.

AnyFucker · 17/05/2016 20:33

River Island boyfriend jeans. Love 'em.

It's nice to hear about everyone's favourites! And gives me lots of things to consider-I've culled my wardrobe massively recently so it's good to see what others are wearing and highlight gaps in my wardrobe.
myfriendscallmeoh those birkis look amazing, such a good idea! Mine are about 8 years old and still going strong, but I'm soooo bored of them, so I may pinch that idea!
Interesting how many responses are jeans. I live in mine so can completely understand where you all coming from.

Be warned, it's addictive. I'm wandering round my house looking for leather items that can be glittered I also have red glitter paint for shoes

Quickchangeup · 17/05/2016 21:02

Where did you get the paint from?!

Red leather Converse low tops. I feel and look about twelve in them, but love them anyway!

ImBrian · 17/05/2016 21:15

My black topshop Joni jeans, I love them and almost live in them.

MyFriendsCallMeOh · 17/05/2016 21:34

It's from Amazon as I live in the USA but there must be a retailer or similar paint in the uk.

Gingefringe · 17/05/2016 21:43

trnity where do you get 70 denier nude tights from? Are they a bit Nora Batty?

YaySirNaySir · 17/05/2016 21:59

Leather skirt from charity shop- perfect fit, its one of those items I know I will get lots of wear out of.

PersonalSpace · 17/05/2016 22:00

A long white denim jacket with distressed edges I bought about two days ago from the Topshop designery bit. It comes to about my knee and although I have some reservations (it quite possibly resembles a lab coat?) I think it's edgy and different!

I'm having to think very carefully about when I wear it as I expect it to turn make up coloured around the neckline quite quickly...

Judydreamsofhorses · 17/05/2016 22:07

Another dungaree fan - I bought the Boden black ones after seeing them on a blogger, and just love them. Perfect fit. My first ever Boden purchase. DP HATES them, but tough.

shirkingworking · 17/05/2016 22:20

Ha - Judy - I hesitated too long and the black ones sold out... Considered the blue ones. Ones I bought were overpriced from Anthropologie, mid-blue and amazingly don't make my bum look huge - flattering band above bottom area and good pocket placement. Bet you're not in your 40s though...

dylsmimi · 17/05/2016 22:36

A new maternity maxi dress with green leaf pattern - I am hoping for some sun and j will float around all serenely - in reality I will probably look like a hot, harassed whale but I will FEEL like I look floaty!! Grin

Pisssssedofff · 17/05/2016 23:08

Navy whistles leather jacket, I luffs it so much
