I am so sick of my clothes and style (or lack of)

Trying to be more open minded about what I wear and try out new style!

What items of clothing have you bought recently and had lots of compliments on? Please send links!

This Boden dress with Alexander McQueen trainers. I get stopped ever time I wear it to be asked where it's from. I've also got it in blue and white stripe.

Denim knee length culottes from Sainsbury’s. I got dark denim with white stitching, font think are available anymore, but they have some lighter ones still here

I love that monsoon boiler suit, it looks like it’s really flattering, I also bought some Tu Culottes which I’ve never worn before and I’m really happy with them, they’re slightly off white and great for days I want to be a bit smarter.

@LuxuryWoman it is really flattering. I sometimes find Monsoon size 12 a bit tight around the waist usually but this has an elasticated bit at the back!

LuxuryWoman2018 · 14/07/2019 21:14

I'm going to see if they have it instore and try it on MissClare

MissClareRemembers · 14/07/2019 22:00

@LuxuryWoman they have it in my local branch in lots of sizes but I noticed there’s only a few sizes left online. Hope you find it and like it!

This Desigual dress. Not usually my cup of tea, but it was €9.90 with the €88 tag still on it! In a charity shop. Strapless maxidress, in my size, rather bonkers graffiti print. 100% cotton, lined, very easy to wear.

@MissClareRemembers had a look, no luck sadly. I’m going to another town later this week so you never know

This coatigan from Hobbs. Can be smart or chuck it on over jeans and a plain top. It's really comfy too.

Most of my clothes are from Sainsbury’s tbh but a friend always remarks on my outfits, some of their stuff isn’t great but they do turn up some gems. Also a necklace I found in a charity shop gets a lot of compliments.

I bought a hat from Tu, loads of compliments, never worn one before but I can't bear the sun on my head.
