New Spring Wish Lists

66 replies

JMAngel1 · 25/02/2021 06:30

I'm putting together a little Spring Wish list and thought it might be fun to see everyone else's.
We could also help each other out by finding what we're lusting after!

Here's my list
A hip length belted jacket - either in a utility or trench style.

A chambray midi skirt with rouching detail or an asymmetric length
Slim denim flares
Lightweight jumpers with very wide open necks that can be worn off one shoulder

Shoes/boots - need inspiration. I have trainers and loads of heeled ankle boots but heels seem very over at the moment.

I’d like:

A light coloured trench, but I’m very fussy. I don’t want the classic beige trench, and I want soft material, not overly structured.

Slim fit light blue jeans

Some good quality, slouchy white t-shirts.

Not sure about shoes yet.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/02/2021 20:57

I 'need' nothing, really.

I 'want' -

  • a couple of decent linen mix t-shirts, especially if I can find a black and white striped one and a grey one
  • a new denim midi skirt but not as long as my longer one or as short as my shorter one!
  • a cotton jumper or cardigan in grey
  • a black cotton midi dress with short sleeves
  • new sandals

I've got a pink trench coat, a khaki jacket, a denim jacket, various biker jacks and a camo jacket so can't really justify any more spring coats!

ParisJeTAime · 27/02/2021 10:24

I'm back with my summer wishlist!

  • linen shirt (or possibly a mix, to prevent wrinklage)
  • sunhat (I've seen one in stories which I like and not too spendy)
  • some sort of loose fitting shorts. Maybe paperbag? But not sure
  • some extra tank tops
  • one cotton dress (this is more of a maybe...I think I can possibly get away without buying one, which is what I should do if I'm being sensible. But we'll see)
  • maybe some slightly nicer flat sandals. I've only got flip flops and heels at the moment).
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/02/2021 10:30

This is my trench, but mine is a lovely, dusky pink. It's brilliant for the price.

ParisJeTAime · 27/02/2021 10:33

Oh I like that @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie. I'm waiting till next year to buy a trench, but I would like one. I have a slightly heavier raincoat, but would like something along those lines for warmer, wet weather Grin. I don't need it at the moment, as I'm not going anywhere.

JMAngel1 · 27/02/2021 10:44

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie
That's a gorgeous trench - I love that petrol blue.
I'm looking for khaki but finding that a lot of styles are in the more popular sage green shade atm - but I'm not sure who the sage green suits? Not me as a Spring - it would wash me out.

In my search for my list, I've come across the most beautiful unsuitable dress - it's too young for me and I would have nowhere to wear it but I WANT it! It's a draped dress with VW vibes in a beautiful emerald green print. I need to sit on my hands don't I? Grin

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie

Ooh, that’s nice! Like the material and I quite like the mint green. I need to try on coats though (Big tits, long arms!). Sick of online shopping!

Ponks · 27/02/2021 13:01

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie this is the second post I've seen that coat on and it has tempted me out of my "no buy" zone .. there was only one left in my size which I took as a sign 😊. Ordered some khaki cargo pants to keep it company.

Frequentflier · 27/02/2021 14:18

Love that trench but double breasted makes me look a little wide. Any nice single breasted ones in pretty colours?

We need to see this dress!

I am lusting after some Gucci retro tennis shoes, I need new jeans but have never paid more than £30 for a pair. My resolution this year was to buy fewer items but get things that I really wanted. I don’t know whether paying more for jeans is worth it?

I too am after a single breast trench in cream.

Botanicals · 27/02/2021 15:19

ParisJeTAime · 27/02/2021 15:43

Yes, I'm quite broad on top, so possible double breasted wouldn't suit me either.... but I prefer the look of double breasted tbh.

Forgot to add to my summer list, some sunglasses! Not £££. Just some decent ones to fling on for school run.

ParisJeTAime · 27/02/2021 15:46

Possibly*

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/02/2021 15:51

I'm very busty, but just wear the double breasted trench open, with the belt tied at the back.

JMAngel1 · 27/02/2021 17:30

Here it is @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie
I have nowhere to wear it but it's just sooo up my street!

lockdownalli · 27/02/2021 17:52

I have so much beauty stuff to wade through and so many clothes. I have tried so hard not to buy as I just wear joggers and jumpers every day WFH. However:

Angel perfume (I know, but I love it)
Clarins double serum (everyone raving about it on another thread)
A Givenchy Antigona handbag. My present to myself when I am back in court ( not a criminal)
There's quite a lot at Boden I have my eye on.....
Aveda Almond and Cherry shampoo and conditioner
L'Occitane almond shower gel

lockdownalli · 27/02/2021 17:58

Oh and a silver ring with a nice blue stone. Maybe a necklace to match.

And some Rituals of Sakura body cream.

My list is a bit long isn't it? Blush

It's fabulous!
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/02/2021 18:30

I want some sort of trousers that aren't jeans too, ideally that I can roll up and wear with Stans.

And a ring and some earrings - but I'm hoping to get a trip to London at some point to buy those in person.

goose1964 · 27/02/2021 19:02

I want to replace my red canvas jacket with a denim one, I want a longer one that's not oversized and not too pale or dark. I also need to replace my gizehs, but can't see a design that wows me.
