Thought I'd put a couple of things in one post, rather than starting different threads.

So:

I want some khaki jeans/trousers of some sort. Has anybody tried the M&S balloon leg jeans? Are they ridiculous?

I want a dress that will take me from sightseeing to a nice restaurant. Dark, ideally printed, non-crap fabric, sleeves. To be worn with a leather jacket. Quite fancy something shorter than all the midi stuff out there. Maybe black or burgundy.

I want a casual black or printed pencil skirt, to wear with a knotted t-shirt and ankle boots. The sort of thing Whistles used to do really well.

Trainers - sick to death of white Stans. What's as comfortable but more suitable for autumn?

I think that's all.for now! 😂

It's a silk mix and feels lovely. If it's crap, it's good crap. 😂

Thanks, Granny

I like those hi-tops. Will check them out next time I'm in town.

Oo, some nice things, I like the skirt in particular, and it’s a bargain!

@TeamRick

I saw this Baukjen dress earlier and thought it was really nice!

Where did you get your knitted T Shirt from Remus? The one you're looking for a pencil skirt for?

I bought the leopard print A Line mini skirt from M&S last week - that is already a firm favourite!

That's nice. I do prefer to check things out in real life when possible though.

Mini skirt sounds nice.

I haven't got a knitted t-shirt, sorry. Just knotted ones!

Ha Remus the skirt I have is very similar to yours, just abit shorter and I obviously changed knotted to knitted because I want a knitted one!

Looks like a successful haul! 🛍

I got some hush stuff, which I shall review for anyone interested.

www.hush-uk.com/cait-cord-mini-dress-black/003522-0456.html Nice fabric, soft cord, true to size but I found the sleeves a bit too puffy and baggy and it’s an unflattering length on me so it’s going back.

www.hush-uk.com/iris-v-neck-mini-dress-khaki-animal-shadow/000761-3608.html This is nice, fabric hangs nicely, I ordered a size down based on past experience and it’s still relaxed but doesn’t drown me and it’s got pockets- a keeper!

Really like this one, the fabric is lovely and soft and not too bulky, true to size, wasn’t sure I’d like the colour but it looks good on, this is my favourite.

Quality wise it all looks good and I knew the sizing would be generous on the green one but the other sizing was fine, the cord one just didn’t really suit me. I guess we’ll see if they shrink in the wash!
