I need to try some insoles in my Hudsons. There's no padding at all in the soles.

@FabalaTheGreenGirl you have a cape? 😍

I want a cape!

Atalune · 12/08/2019 08:44

I'm tempted by this Boden coat www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/hengrave-coat-baltic/sty-t0198-tur?cat=C1S2G2

I love those boots @Atalune - I love buying boots however I finally bought a pair of classic DM's this year so they will be this years winter boots.

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 12/08/2019 08:52

Thanks Atulane. Benwillbonds I can't tell you how fabulous wearing a cape makes you feel, 100% recommend getting one

Ellapaella · 12/08/2019 08:53

@BenWillbondsPants where is the blazer from? It's lovely.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2019 08:53

I had a cape in the early 90s. I still miss it!

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 12/08/2019 08:56

I know nobody asked but here's the cape. I feel like it's a muted enough colour for every day wear. Right?

That cape! ❤️🥰❤️🥰

BenWillbondsPants · 12/08/2019 09:03

Oh I LOVE that cape. I love the collar. 😍

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 12/08/2019 09:04

I love your entire look, @FabalaTheGreenGirl. Your hair is stunning!

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 12/08/2019 09:05

Def one of my best thrift shop finds! Was leaving through September vogue and saw they have a section on capes and leather. GET IN. Will just be founding and creaking round the office all autumn :p

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 12/08/2019 09:06

Ooh, just saw the cape is a charity shop job, I love charity shop shopping! Some of my recent bargains include a pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans for £7 and a stunning handmade Vietnamese red silk kimono for £10.

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 12/08/2019 09:07

leafing (really need to sort out my typos). Thanks @GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal*. Have since grown the fringe out but it might make a comeback.

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 12/08/2019 09:09

Those are brilliant finds @GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal! My best recent find was a coat that wasn't cheap (£20) but it's a vintage repro that looks a bit like something Mrs Maisel would wear so I snapped it up

BenWillbondsPants · 12/08/2019 09:10

@Ellapaella It was in the Next sale! £60 reduced to £20 so v bargainous.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 12/08/2019 09:12

Oh my, the cape, the boots!

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 12/08/2019 09:17

@Atalune those boots are incredible. They make me sad that I'm a size 9 :(

BenWillbondsPants · 12/08/2019 09:18

Oh I like that Boden coat too. I absolutely must not buy another coat though! It's a lovely colour though.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 12/08/2019 09:57

I plan on doing a bit of wardrobe mining - I've recently lost two stone, which means my pre-DC clothes should fit again. I'm going to dig out my black leather trousers and a gorgeous tan leather patterned skirt that I've not been able to get into for years.

I'm trying not to buy new - although did fall for a lovely pair of knee-high tan leather Bertie boots in the John Lewis sale. Also a delicious striped cashmere jumper (in a size 8! I'm going to have to make sure I keep the weight off) and a pair of purely indulgent oyster pink silk pyjamas. So, um, the whole not buying new is not going brilliantly!

I suspect my gorgeous charcoal Uniqlo velvet skinnies from last year will now be too big, which is a shame as I loved them. Hoping the cashmere jumpers I also got from there will still work in an "over-sized" way though.

Zenithbear · 12/08/2019 10:13

I want some really chunky biker ankle boots.
Recently bought a cashmere jumper in the sale.
Will wear all the pinafore dresses I've been wearing over the summer just need to swap sandals for tights and boots and add a long sleeve top instead of a t-shirt.
Also have a selection of thin jumpers that I layer if it's cold and wear with jeans, mini skirts, leather leggings.
I absolutely love Summer and hope it goes on for a while yet, but Autumn is the best season for clothes imo.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2019 10:34

Pink silk PJs sound amazing!

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 12/08/2019 10:50

I am very excited about them Remus. I love nice PJs! We're off to Cornwall on holiday this week and it's forecast to rain pretty much constantly. I figure I will feel better about rainy days out if I know I can have a bath and climb into silk pjs once back at the hotel.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 12/08/2019 11:30

Too many lovely things, am coveting silk pyjamas now. I’m going to have a rummage around the charity shops today for costume jewellery mainly.

locketsprocket · 12/08/2019 11:39

I'm starting to think about my winter wardrobe and really keen to have a good wardrobe that just works as I've never had one...always seem to miss things or just end up picking up random rubbish that I don't wear.

I'm 40 this year and really want to get myself sorted.

I'm really struggling for coats and need ideas that will go well with my whole wardrobe but have no idea except that I don't like tench costs
