So after months of not buying and maternity leave, I hit town today to get my return to work wardrobe sorted !

I got a gorgeous all saints coat (reduced in sale)
New trainers for gym
Loafers
A zadig Voltaire top I admired last year in TK max!

I needed some trousers and tops but couldn't find anything flattering/ I liked.

Spotted a pair of ankle boots in stone colour in office I ll probably order too as need a pair and will get lots of wear from.

I know it s a bit early for Autumn and stuff only coming in, but anyone else spotted anything nice about ?

Wow Mystery Fairy. You did well! I've also just ordered the navy Boden wrap top from clearance. I've had 2 black ones before and find them flattering.

Glamorousglitter · 29/08/2016 17:00

Wow mysteryfairy - fantastic bargains!

I too have actually snaffled a few bits away for (ssshhhh) Christmas ..... Hush Spanish dancer scarf - perfect for SIL to be, just her style.

I too have gone a bit eBay mad, got a gorgeous zadig and Voltaire blazer, bnwt, unworn for a steal. It ll be fab with jeans or trousers over the Autumn.

I d love to see ideas for work tops, hmm can we bring back belinda s workwear treads ?
I think I m sorted with a black blazer, black coat, leather jacket, grey blazer, and grey coat,
Would love tops ideas, camel coat, tan boots, black boots, to get started

navy Tshirt 7.84

QueenofLouisiana · 30/08/2016 15:45

So, the Boden order arrived. I'm quite pleased. I'm keeping Ella jacket, navy/ white jersey dress and grey drapey top.

Waiting impatiently for Hush order now.

Nearlyadoctor · 30/08/2016 19:33

I have ordered the Boden blackberry dress and the T shirt slub dress, both in a couple of colourways to try. Off to Florida in a few weeks and need a couple of easy throw on dresses.

herecomesthsun · 30/08/2016 21:23

oh and got a watch 10 pound from 50 from TK Maxx, the strap went on my old watch and this is cheaper and easier than getting a new strap.

fozzy26 · 31/08/2016 08:47

Queen, How did the Ella Jacket fit? It has poor reviews online.

QueenofLouisiana · 31/08/2016 08:56

Fozzy it's quite a nice fit, but I went for the smaller of 2 sizes. My only concern is that it is wool and unlined, so may be a bit itchy on bare arms. I like the colours and style, the bracelet length sleeves will need some thought or they may look a bit odd.

I wouldn't pay full price, but I'll use it enough to be worth the sale price.

Wheatchief I saw some pics online of the Olsen twins rocking baggy trousers (low slung) and trainers/ flip flops, and apparently they re all the rage again !

My cardigan from superdry was actually really lovely (I've never bought from them before). So I ordered it in khaki, also a red jumper which was quite cobweb like and a dress.

The cord skirt from tesco is such a lovely length and fit that I also bought it in mustard, black and burgundy. Also 2 turtle neck tops and a cream jumper!

fozzy26 · 02/09/2016 22:46

BearFoxBear. Love the tapered trousers. Am keeping them!

BearFoxBear · 05/09/2016 07:56

They are unexpectedly brilliant Fozzy! I very rarely wear trousers and they have converted me Smile

I bought a new pair of boots on Tuesday. They are discontinued dr martens which I have in burgundy but have wanted the black version for years. They have no leather (vegan) and are black floral velvet. Brand new from eBay £100 (which is annoying as I only paid £40 for my burgundy pair). But I NEEDED them in black, I now have the joy of breaking them in Sad

And navy velvet courts that are fab-ul-ous!

Ooh I love that scarf! I've since purchased some blister plasters because as pretty as the boots are they hurt like hell Grin
