Thanks @maradesbois - place marking. I’ve done a big shop of coats and knitwear. Will link once I’ve tried.

VivaVegas · 17/10/2021 21:21

Thanks @maradesbois 😀

DryWhiteagainW · 17/10/2021 22:42

Marking my place too. Thanks Mara

DryWhiteagainW · 17/10/2021 22:44

Recent Zara purchases. Find Zara hit and miss but this season I’ve done well
boots for going out

DryWhiteagainW · 17/10/2021 22:45

burgundy blazer to wear with jeans on black

DryWhiteagainW · 17/10/2021 22:46

just totally fell in love with this blazer too looks great with the sock boots

Pheebs2021 · 18/10/2021 07:26

Well this long time lurker needs to go hide her bank card after those links!
The second blazer is amazing!

Thanks for the new thread @maradesbois.

Loved your Grensons from the last thread. I have similar from Stories bought in the sales at the start of last summer, but they're not very comfy which is annoying.

Great links @DryWhiteagainW. I can really picture you in all of those.

I'm waiting for some jeans from the Outnet. Will link if there any good. Put on my old R&B skinnies a few days ago but the shape just felt wrong.

Stokey · 18/10/2021 08:15

And @Pheebs2021 please stick around!

libertyonhertravels · 18/10/2021 08:37

Thanks @maradesbois

Great boots @DryWhiteagainW. Perfect for a new season update and both blazers are great. I always find Zara really good for jackets.

Welcome @Pheebs2021

Stokey · 18/10/2021 17:54

Maje jeans arrived and I'm very happy with them. Given I'm only 5ft 3, they're not cropped on me but come down to just below my ankles which is what I wanted. Planning on wearing them with this green cardie I recently got.

DryWhiteagainW · 18/10/2021 18:32

Love thar cardi Stokey

Pheebs2021 · 18/10/2021 19:01

I've never actually brought anything from Zara and I am probably out of their target range size but i love the second blazer so much I'm thinking of taking a punt on it :-) seem to have a good returns policy... Will let you know how I get on!

Pheebs2021 · 18/10/2021 19:01

And thanks for the welcomes.

DryWhiteagainW · 18/10/2021 19:38

Oh Pheebs I’m so glad you’ve come out of lurkdom and that you love the blazer....let us know how you get on. It’s super flattering on

InPraiseOfLadyGrey · 18/10/2021 23:20

Hi everyone, not really sure what this thread is all about, but think I'll hang around here if nobody minds Smile

QueenCremant · 19/10/2021 08:21

Hi all, can’t believe we are on volume 90!

I feel like I have no style news as have been stuck at home with covid kids for what feels like forever. I’ve been working from home so leggings and a hoodie have been my sartorial choices. I was meant to have been away this weekend and was so looking forward to dressing up a bit.

I’m going back to my 90s this winter I think. 6th form and early uni was always my favourite style time of my life and when I felt most like me. Before covid hit the house I was wearing long floaty dresses and trainers and cardigans. I can’t remember when I last wore jeans!

VivaVegas · 19/10/2021 10:09

I think the uncertainty of life with Covid still scuppering things with no notice is quite draining.

I go through phases of buying, buy too much, then don't buy anything for ages!

I did a wardrobe sort about a year ago and need to do it again, just don't have the motivation!

Loving Mint Velvet at the moment! Love my long gilet and also bought this top which is really nice.

I can't get away from skinny jeans, they just work for me and my wardrobe and because I'm short and small I feel really frumpy in anything else. I did get away from them in the summer with trainers but do like them tucked into chunky boots.

Still not taken the plunge and bought a bag!

shopafrolic · 19/10/2021 19:21

Welcome @Pheebs2021 and @InPraiseOfLadyGrey
I am currently lusting after these rubberised Grensons which I fully appreciate most of you will hate. I don’t NEED them but blimey I really WANT them.

In shopping news I have finally found the right crew neck cashmere sweaters for me from the Men’s section of M&S. A proper high crew neck and longer sleeves. Purchased in the light grey, link here

shopafrolic · 19/10/2021 19:26

I tried this Jaegar coat as a warmer alternative to a CdeC one I have had for years but it wasn’t love. The style is a bit too grown up and ‘proper’ for me and I didn’t like the two buttons - I seem to prefer 1 or 3. So that is going back.
But I bought this Hush coat and the hoodie from the styling pic. DH doesn’t know yet that this will be his birthday gift to me. Smile

shopafrolic · 19/10/2021 19:28

Next I need to win the lottery so I can buy this

SummaLuvin · 19/10/2021 19:34

Those coats are both lovely @shopafrolic, but I see what you mean about the first being quite serious. I bought this &Other Stories Coat should arrive by the end of the week, fingers crossed it fits and looks as good as I hope. Deliberated for ages between camel and black.

I'm on the look out for the perfect oversized blazer, neutral small check is what I think think I want to finish off my autumn wardrobe (though by the time I find one it will be winter)

shopafrolic · 19/10/2021 19:41

Lovely coat @SummaLuvin - I love this (not quite check but perhaps still ok for you) blazer on Sally Faye’s Instagram reel
Which is a pretty good dupe for this from Anine Bing that I LOVE.

shopafrolic · 19/10/2021 19:43

I’m brighter colour news I adore this purple coat which I’m hoping I didn’t link before but can’t remember.
