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 :)

This is mine, happy so they obviously pop up on eBay! I’m a 10, sometimes a 12 bottom, and mine is M, but S would have been better.

Thanks @imclaustrophobicdarren and @Judystilldreamsofhorses

Hmm, I think the issue is the length. It's longer than my wool coats which I'm not sure about, but the only shorter jackets I have which are warm are a leather jacket or puffa type jacket. I don't really want to buy anything new so I think I'll have a trying on session later and if nothing looks right I'll have a little look on eBay Smile

I'm LOVING the sequin skirts!

Ladies what do you think??? Do I look crazy?

You don't look crazy! You look great. I prefer the second skirt, I think it would look fantastic with a black polo neck jumper.
You could dress it up with heels for a night out, dress down with trainers but also the boots look good.

happytobemrsg · 19/10/2019 13:54

Thanks Ella! I’m also leaning towards the black one... I tried it on with a crew neck which didn’t look quite right. I want to try it on with our H&M t-shirt but didn’t have the time

imclaustrophobicdarren · 19/10/2019 13:56

Loveeeee the second! The first is ok but doesn't work quite as well as the second I think.

happytobemrsg · 19/10/2019 14:17

Thanks darren!

Do you think I could chuck on thick black tights with the black one? So I can get more wear out of it??

happytobemrsg · 19/10/2019 14:41

Ive ordered this jumper to try with the gold skirt (the skirt does look better IRL) to see if it works. I’m thinking cream jumper, gold skirt, leopard print belt & my tan Chelsea boots. If it really doesn’t work I’ll send it back

I had a bit of a spending spree at New Look with the 20% off.

So it looks like I’m keeping both sequin skirts. I’ve bought 2 lovely batwing jumpers to wear with the black one (burgundy & khaki). The khaki jumper looks fab with the rose gold skirt as well (any excuse for me to wear green). They are actually the perfect jumpers for tucking in. I’m very pleased with them & they only cost me £10!

I’ve also finally settled on a coat for when I don’t want to wear my big Barbour puffa - this khaki one from New Look. It’s a bit big but I think that’s the style, & I ordered my regular size, so I’ll embrace it. It’ll look lovely with my classic check Burberry scarf.

I also bought this red leopard print shirt. It looks amazing with coated leggings or black high waisted jeans, but also thinking that if I were to go back to work I could wear it with high waisted black trousers & longline cardi

Oh I love that coat happytobemrsg Great colour. I rarely look at New Look apart from summer sandals, I should take a closer look.

happytobemrsg · 24/10/2019 14:20

This is the first year I’ve shopped at New Look LuxuryWoman2018! I follow Styled By Susie & she always finds gems there & I must say I’m pretty impressed. I ordered a coat, 2 jumpers & a shirt & I didn’t send anything back 😳

Miseryisabutterfly · 30/10/2019 19:59

Bought a new jumper today and had to show it off!

@happytobemrsg you look fab in the skirts!

Miseryisabutterfly · 30/10/2019 20:11

They are gorgeous @Moominfan!

Miseryisabutterfly · 30/10/2019 20:13

I recently bought this mango skirt and yours reminds me of it

Thank you miseryisabutterly! Great minds think alike x

happytobemrsg · 02/11/2019 19:11

I thought this jumper deserved a special mention. It’s Pringle x H&M & is so warm & comfy. Love it. £20. I wore it the day after I bought it!

That’s lovely happytobemrsg I’m still looking for boots and waiting for the sales.

Getting great use out of my trench in this weather, it was such a good buy but I need a warm coat now I think, I quite like the M&S duvet coat.

I’m not buying much more because I just rediscovered some lovely things in my ‘other’ wardrobe (basically things I don’t wear often but love, dressier clothes I guess’. But most of all, sod it, I want a onesie, I really feel the cold and can hardly bear to go out in it.

Miseryisabutterfly · 03/11/2019 10:23

I have bought the Pringle jumper after seeing you in it @happytobemrsg! H&M owe you a commission 😂

Miseryisabutterfly · 03/11/2019 10:24

I also bought some khaki faux leather leggings. Now I need to stop until summer!
