@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie I had a silk black hoodie from Warehouse a good while back that I bought in the sales. I love the pattern of the blouse and the detailing like the elasticated cuffs.

Tote bag - Only have Le Pliages

Cross body bag - old M&S navy one which is the perfect size

Pair of jeans - impossible. Something in dark denim.

Skirt - don’t own any

Top - chocolate brown turtleneck, F&F at Tesco. Would answer differently in summer.

Jumper - mens cashmere crew neck from one of those shops on the Royal Mile. I mainly wear cardigans.

Coat - old beige quilted from Next. Been wearing it for about seven winters.

Dress - only have two dresses, would pick the Galaxy style chocolate brown one.

Tote bag - Don't own one!

Cross body bag - A cheapo Accessorize one. It's just the right size for my purse, wallet, phone, plus a few other small essentials. I have much fancier pricier bags, but they aren't as perfect for everyday.

Pair of jeans - NYDJ

Skirt - I don't wear skirts

Top - A black vest top with lacy details I bought in Mountain Warehouse but can't remember the brand. Possibly beginning with an A...?

Jumper - Fat Face long cardi

Coat - Rooster rigging coat

Dress - I don't wear these either unless it's a wedding or funeral (and I don't go to many of either...)

My style is very practical 😬

Oh this is fun!

Tote - A Bottega Venata

Cross body- either a tiny Alexander body McQueen or Loewe puzzle bag

Jeans - Mih

Skirt- Tough one. Maybe me and em floral one that can be worn all seasons except middle of winter

Top - Uniqlo heat tech top!

Jumper - I have ancient black M and S cardi that I can wear with anything

Coat- for warmth my Uniqlo down coat. For style - my whistles biker

Dress- oh too many. I just couldn’t chose. My me and em cheesecloth for every day, or my trusty Donna Karen LBD or my other stories maxi. I could choose a different one each day!
