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 :)

BarrenFieldofFucks oh my, why did you have to show us that divine maroon coat? It’s gorgeous, I’m loving berry colours at the moment and I’m now hankering after a wine colour bag too.

Still looking for boots.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 23/08/2019 17:23

Ah, bugger it I got the Windsor in wine red, I also bought a berry coloured shirt in Wallis someone had on the ‘what are you wearing thread’ I’m going to look like a plum (an actual plum)

Oh barrenfield I didn't even realise Tk Maxx sold online... I found myself down the rabbit hole and before I knew it, I had snapped up a couple of Joseph items (cream wool sweater and high waisted navy wool/cashmere trousers).

LuxuryWoman2018 · 24/08/2019 10:00

And we have a heatwave 😀

TK Maxx are pretty good online I've found

I'm very into slim fitted suits (sometimes with the trousers rolled up) and Birkenstocks these days. Grin

Been lurking on here, which is dangerous for the wallet! I really don't need anything, but love coats and boots and autumn/winter wear. The latest Uniqlo Ines collection preview is out, which looks lovely. I like the checked mini skirt with a skinny polo opaques and boots but wondering if it's all floaty midi prints again this season.

I'm desperate for boots too honeycske very simple black leathe.

I've got that Windsor bag luxury woman it's gorgeous and great value

Hard to think about autumn today in this heat though.

Atalune · 24/08/2019 12:57

dearderdrie the uniqlo link has some nice things! I love the fedora, the cashmere scarf and the button through hoodie.
I’m currently in Bordeaux where it’s 32 degrees! Contemplating autumn wardrobes is quite tricky!

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 24/08/2019 13:00

Just got this in navy from Uniqlo in the sale - will be perfect for chilly school runs!

Thanks for the reminder - I always forget Uniqlo exists but I've had some great stuff from there.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 24/08/2019 13:50

Lying on a lounger in the sun looking at Uniqlo knits, some nice things there. @chanellta yes they are a good find.

That parka is pretty much all sold out now GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal you did well to grab it.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 24/08/2019 13:59

Grin I'm a fashion ninja.

And I'm also lying on a sun lounger!

OneThingAndThenTheNext · 24/08/2019 17:31

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal do you know what the sizing is like for that Uniqlo coat? I cannot see a chart and wondering if I could get away with the smallest size as I do love it!

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 24/08/2019 18:00

They have a sizing tool on the website which I've found pretty accurate in the paste. I came up as Medium for the jacket, which sounds about right as I'm a 12.

Atalune · 24/08/2019 18:32

I am usually an Xs or an S and I am an 8/10 from uniqlo.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 25/08/2019 08:06

I like the look of the relaxed style v necks and the longline cardigan in that tan colour from uniqlo,

DearDeirdre · 25/08/2019 08:12

What trouser silhouette does everyone thing is going to be 'in' this Winter?

I've finally caught up with the wide leg/culotte thing. As I'm short I've found that fairly slim, high waisted ones are better on me and I'm wondering about getting a pair or two made in a fine wool when I'm on holiday in SE Asia next month.

Of course, that will ensure that hipster bootlegs will be all the rage!

DearDeirdre · 25/08/2019 08:14

Think not thing

Sigh81 · 25/08/2019 08:56

I think if you have found a style that suits you (and if you are happy ignoring what is in fashion) then I would go for it DearDeirdre. Or go for it anyway as they may come back into fashion in the future!

I am sticking resolutely to 7/8 tapered, high waisted styles (am a tall, slim hourglass) as they seem to suit me best.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 25/08/2019 09:33

I agree sigh if something suits us then fashion takes a back seat. I’m sticking with my skinnies.

Floisme · 25/08/2019 10:02

I'm planning on wide legs when it's dry and tapered when it's wet.

happytobemrsg · 25/08/2019 15:46

So I just received an email from & Other Stories, and I’m in love 😍 exactly the look I’m going for although not the budget

I’ve earmarked 2 jumpers I want to order & surprisingly I think they’d look good with blue jeans (I never wear blue jeans) but might wait a couple of weeks before I order anything as only 5 days post-partum & I still look 6m pregnant 🙈

LuxuryWoman2018 · 25/08/2019 15:50

Congratulations happytobemrsg a lovely new baby to cuddle 🙂 hope you’re doing well and feeling ok. I must take a look at other stories, I see them recommended but always forget about them. I keep buying deep red stuff and said earlier I’ll spend winter looking like a plum, but it’s a lovely colour.

happytobemrsg · 25/08/2019 20:16

Oooops they didn’t attach
