What are you hoping to find now the A/W stuff is coming into the shops?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I'm after a proper old fashioned denim mini (not too mini though!) skirt, straight not A-line and no buttons. I realise that this is far from being 'in' but I like them.

I also want some really lovely big scarves - ideally a burnt orange one, a bright pink one and a red one.

Also, a pleated red skirt and the perfect grey v neck jumper.

You?

i've found my style, i just can't find the clothes at the right price.

A million times this! I know exactly what I want but can I find it? Can I hell.

Flois I think it's alright . Wouldn't have people stopping and pointing at you.
It looks 100x better than my winter coat that's for sure. Only thing I wouldn't be happy with is that it's only showerproof.

My MIL always talks about how 'quirky' my dress sense is. I seem to just chuck things together - even if I don't mean to.

Going back to the 90s thing, I saw a pic the other day of some new season clothes and the model was wearing a dark floral patterned slip dress over a skinny t-shirt - it made me smile because I lived in that outfit in the 90s! Did anyone else used to buy satin nighties and wear them as dresses or was that just me ?

Yes Neon and asymmetrical sleeved dresses.

Thanks doctor. I will confess, 'alright' isn't quite the answer I had been hoping for but I'm sure it's the right one

I may get it anyway cos I'm getting bored with the whole thing now.

I know what you mean

I could buy this, and I like it but it'd be like admitting I can't find what I'm looking for I'd prefer 70s style lapels

wow, I really like this one! I might have to replace some of the buttons but it's close to being a really superb coat

Oooh that's nice, i like the other one too.

Problem is, my heart just isn't in this. I just want something that will keep me reasonably dry and warm, not make me look like a hobbit and cost as little as possible.

Love that, Damn.

Which one? the military one or the sort of max mara-y one. I like them both. The military one wouldn't be very warm.

Mango have great coats this year!

remus are you still looking for a deep red/burgundy top? I saw this when I was having a browse at their website.

www.jigsaw-online.com/product/silk-blend-v-neck-jumper/J17488_PU012

Although it's hand wash only.

Shame that's only in large.

I know I just realised that afterwards. I liked it too.

If it makes you feel any better, I think I've tried that Jigsaw top on and it was a ridiculously deep V neck. I'd have needed a vest thing underneath which would have looked odd as the top's quite fitted.

Ah that'd be no good then. I've had that problem a lot with dresses and tops.

I do love that colour though. I was hoping the Hush ruched skirt was that shade but according to the other thread it's more a browny dull burgundy.

That's a shame. I did buy a double front scoop neck from them which is quite good. And they have one in deep red as well.

Thanks, Cellar. It's lovely (and I don't mind deep v necks, because I generally wear a cami underneath anyway), but life is far too short for hand washing.

I like that first mango coat.

Yeh, it looks way more expensive than it is.

I know M&S got a pasting on s&b the other day but I also like this coat.

I like this

oh! I've found a single breasted one, by levis of all people

That green M&S one is gorgeous irl. I was fondling it the other day!

They do some nice coats I think. They can't help it if a lot of people want to spend their life dressing to walk the dog that already had its walk today.

i bought a beautiful coat in m&s last year. It was long, forest green, belted. 70% and 10% of it cashmere. It gets loads of compliments.

I'm hoping m&s get more coats in in October.
I'm buying nothing but a coat and boots this season. honest

Seriously tempted by that levi's single breasted coat though. Just can't figure out whether to get the small or the medium. I'll have to go in to Levi's in Dublin and try them both on. It feels like real money when you buy something in a shop

joking about the dogs. I love dogs. I approve of walking dogs. I dressed like I was about to work out all day today. Not judging nobody. Wouldn't dare!

I missed the M&S pasting and I'd have gone on to defend them if I'd known. l've seen quite a few nice things on their website recently and my local branch has upped its game and started stocking more Autograph - maybe they heard me moaning.
