Thank you all re the dress! I ended up having to wear a big duvet coat over it because it has rained FOREVER here but I liked it on. @Themarvellousmrsm the cardi is from Sugarhill Boutique but hasn’t had much wear - it looks great with jeans and a tee, but it’s now a bit chilly to wear that. I might try it with a fine knit jumper under it for WFH.

Absolutely loving all the chit chat on here and the links - they're helping me to re-find my fashion mojo as I've completely lost my way sartorial wise and am wearing the same clothes on rotation.

However I have dipped my toes into cropped mom and bootcut jeans. I bought them from F&F to see how they work with boots and winter shoes. The jury's still out on the cropped mom jeans but I'm liking the bootcuts.

I also seem to be buying quite a bit from M&S they've really upped their game. These sweatshirts are great:

I've snapped them up in most of the colours

and this blazer looks great on with black jeans and vest à la Sally Faye that you linked @shopafrolic

animal blazer

@libertyonhertravels to answer your question I love Sofia Coppola's pared down look. She's classic with a twist, quite boyish/gamine and usually wears black and white.

Sofia Coppola's style

DryWhiteagainW · 31/10/2021 21:09

Just ordered this little investment piece think it will be useful

shopafrolic · 01/11/2021 07:35

@kittyhello the blazer link takes me to the sweatshirts again?

kittyhello · 01/11/2021 08:49

leopard blazer

shopafrolic · 01/11/2021 17:28

Oh that's nice @kittyhello - I can totally see you in that

Stokey · 02/11/2021 17:35

Mara I ended up going for the Reebok C Club like these but with a grey leopard bit, I think you linked them? I like the look but they're just not as comfy as my old Stans so am thinking of replacing those.

Can really see you in that top Dry.

Great blazer too, Kitty I bought the M&S advent calendar today so was looking for things to spend my money on there. I ended up getting some cord culottes which may be a bit of a risk, but thought they had some nice dresses too.

VivaVegas · 02/11/2021 20:59

I like those trainers @Stokey.

I've got the M & S advent calendar coming tomorrow. I ordered these wide leg trousers after reading about them on another thread but they didn't suit me so they're going back.

Finally ordered my 'marital jewellery' sale bag, coming tomorrow! It's my birthday at the weekend so it's my present to me. Another step moving forward!

Pheebs2021 · 02/11/2021 21:11

Just landed back in the UK - I am absoloutly freezing definitely jumper weather now!
I've just ordered this: www.next.co.uk/style/st818009/M17801#M17801

Stokey · 03/11/2021 08:12

Ooh what did you go for @VivaVegas?

These are the culottes.

Nice jumper @Pheebs, it has got really cold over the last 2 days. Am quite enjoying wrapping up again but the moths have eaten my scarf so will need a new one.

shopafrolic · 03/11/2021 11:16

I forgot you are another fellow Scorpio @VivaVegas - well done on the next big step, what did you treat yourself to?
@Stokey Sorry to hear about your scarf - I am so paranoid about moths after losing that cashmere loungewear set to them Sad

shopafrolic · 03/11/2021 11:31

A bit of feedback on the M&S black silk shirt that Claudia wore with the leopard leggings. It's going back unfortunately., It's really lovely but too short in the arms for me. I notice the website model and Claudia both wore it with the sleeves pulled up but in reality I would never do that as I know it would bug me everytime it moved down again so back it goes. It has made me really want a black silk shirt with a concealed placket though.......

Pheebs2021 · 03/11/2021 11:37

@Stokey
I absolutely love scarfs in the winter they elevate everything. Have you got a scarf your eyeing yet?

VivaVegas · 03/11/2021 12:24

I've gone for this Chloe

Working at home today and waiting for it to arrive!

shopafrolic · 03/11/2021 13:30

Fabulous @VivaVegas I hope it's perfect and instant love Smile

MarshaBradyo · 04/11/2021 10:01

Viva fabulous Chloe bag

Stokey I have cashmere Marant jumpers that got eaten, I find it tough to let them go like that. The massive (almost comedy but fantastically warm) huge Marant scarf is ok - I think I need to check and start wearing it

Lib good question I think I’m a shop by site - NaP or Matches or Liberty - with discount person. I don’t really buy fp and I prefer natural fibre etc

On style I admire - hmm I don’t really follow slebs / IG fashion but I do love the Celine look in ads atm

Really laid back but very Celine, like the model too

Also big Happy Birthday to marvellous Shop! Cake Flowers

Have a wonderful day!

shopafrolic · 04/11/2021 20:54

Thanks @MarshaBradyo. Just back from dinner out with Mr & MiniShop. Wore Joseph leather skinnies, Grenson Nanettes and new Hush hoodie and charcoal grey wool coat. Longchamp bag. Love to all.

VivaVegas · 04/11/2021 21:55

Happy birthday @shopafrolic , hope you've had a lovely day.

Stokey · 04/11/2021 22:29

Happy birthday Shop, outfit sounds perfect X

Themarvellousmrsm · 05/11/2021 07:45

Belated birthday love Shop. Outfit sounds fabulous.

Thanks for the cardi link Judy, it's on my shortlist but I really really want a top with dinosaurs on now!

Amazing bag Viva great choice.

Kitty, Love the blazer, will look great styled up or down.

Mostly in need of non skinny, non elacticated waist trousers (not jeans) atm- have an M&S voucher to use so will get looking this weekend. As I've missed out on the JL advent calendar I'll probably get the M&S one.

For anyone interested, I did get the JL winter wonders beauty box and some nice things in there.

kittyhello · 05/11/2021 14:10

What a lovely bag @VivaVegas very classic and understated.

Happy belated birthday @shopafrolic 

Some of my merino jumpers are coming out of hibernation with moth holes despite me being very careful. 

I like your top @DryWhiteagainW

Pheebs2021 · 06/11/2021 15:52

I've fallen in love with Alice Temperley at JL.

Does anybody own any of this change?

Pheebs2021 · 06/11/2021 16:07

Change would be brand!

AppleFairy · 07/11/2021 03:28

@VivaVegas that bag is perfect. Love the black handle.

Of all my bags, my Chloe Marcie is my most worn and best cost per wear. I am so careless with my bags and it still looks great and elevates every outfit.
