I look forward to September and the change in weather move to autumny clothes.... I don't know why but I really, really fancy some super leather cowboy boots... plus pinafore dresses :)

Practical = sexy

I can't remember who the poster was but I got a great faux fur leopard print cost from ebay last year.
So far this year I have got dark brown Fly London Mes 2 boots for £55. I love chunky boots and the wedge heel on Fly helps with my bad back.
I'd like black Mon ones too.
A midnight blue boyfriend coat from La Redoute.
A stripey Topshop top, stripey Jasper Conran top and a boat neck 3/4 sleeved Vieylla jumper, all from a second hand site. Got them for £15 including delivery.
I got a pair of straight leg jeans from Matalan this morning, I hate skinnies and was heartened to see H and M had mini flares in Grin. I got the short length because I like to turn them up with boots.
And a dark denim bag with a big Star on the front from Amazon.

That was me! off to stalk eBay!

cheesenpickles · 15/08/2019 19:19

Argh found the perfect one but starting bid is £60. I've bid on another as a stopgap but the auction seems to have got stuck. It's been at 2m52 seconds for ten minutes?! The world does not want me to have this coat.

@cheesenpickles - not sure about your budget but Boden have a couple that look promising.

Happy to pay that sort of payment price. Found this one on the outnet which is the kind of thing I'm looking for.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 15/08/2019 19:52

Looking for a leather jacket too! 🤟

Cocolapew · 15/08/2019 19:59

Mine was £23 😂, it was a buy now one, probably from China.. It's a proper furry one, small children stroke it if I stand next to them.
I have a grey leopard print, wool mix which is a bit classier but I don't really do classy Grin

EnidButton · 15/08/2019 20:51

That is NICE Cheese! Perfect length too.

cheesenpickles · 15/08/2019 21:19

@Cocolapew oh god I'd love one that people randomly stroked Grin

Cocolapew · 15/08/2019 23:13
Grin
cheesenpickles · 16/08/2019 00:10

I got one. So basically the one I was lusting over on eBay (the £60 one) was too expensive. Hunted around and found the cheaper one. On further inspection after I won the suction for £9 total... same coat! Just terrible photos on the one I won. Utterly over the moon now! I'll stop buying things now! Blush

cheesenpickles · 16/08/2019 00:10

Auction even Grin

Atalune · 16/08/2019 07:25

I got an all saints BNWT one from EBay for £160, which is about half price. Very happy with it too. Usually after Christmas there are a fair few. Especially if you are after a smaller size or want a grey/navy one.

cheesenpickles · 16/08/2019 07:51

Omg that's a steal @Atalune. I need to get down to the outlet soon but I think I've been a bit too spendy lately without getting rid of enough stuff. Grin

CountFosco · 16/08/2019 08:44

I want these shoes 😍.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 16/08/2019 09:46

Those shoes are gorgeous countfosco

I’m patiently waiting for the postman still, the weather is horrible so the mac will get good use today if it arrives

cheesenpickles · 16/08/2019 09:49

My blazer arrives today. Will report back!

grannycake · 16/08/2019 10:18

My PS commuter coat arrived today and it's pouring with rain here so I was able to test it on my way to work and can confirm that I remained absolutely dry. The colour is more of a burnt orange rather than red and I did dither about sending it back for the navy or the grey but seeing that 90% of what I buy is either grey, navy or black I thought that this was something that might get me out of comfort zone.

Love those shoes Atalune

Ellapaella · 16/08/2019 11:20

@CountFosco I love those shoes.
I've ordered the Boden coat, will feed back when it arrives.

Cocolapew · 16/08/2019 11:24

Well done cheese Smile

LuxuryWoman2018 · 16/08/2019 12:43

Email received, courier delivery between 2 and 6

cheesenpickles · 16/08/2019 13:01

Blazer arrived and I love it. Wouldn't wear it with this baggy a jean though.

Autumn wardrobes.... what are we thinking of?
Atalune · 16/08/2019 13:44

Love the blazer- and the colour! Not too bright, which i love.

cheesenpickles · 16/08/2019 15:22

I'm SO pleased with it. It is exactly how I hoped and really lightweight. Only drawbacks are it's mostly polyester so not ideal for summer (not that I'll have to worry about that for a while looking out the window Grin) and it's dry clean only but I live by a laundrette and tbh it'll get worn a couple of times a month max.
