Can I talk about my dress? A thread to celebrate recent purchases we’re happy with

[outcrops]

I bought this from REISS a couple of months ago. I have since worn it for a job interview (styled with court shoes and blazer), a winter wedding with heels and statement bag and more casual pub meals with boots and black denim jacket. I love it.

So versatile as the colour means it can be dressed up easily but the style works for casual and also office. I do a lot of presentations (and will do in new job which I got!! 😀) and it exactly meets the brief of a bright block colour which is always recommended. Such a perfect winter dress for me. I thought it’d be nice to have a thread to celebrate our clothes that make us happy

It's gorgeous!

But for me the split would be a little bit too much for an interview. Did you get the job?

I did - it’s not quite as extreme in real life (and I’m tall). I was also wearing opaque black tights so not showing flesh which probably helps.

Fair play, then.

And, congratulations 🎊 👏 💐

thank you ☺️

That dress is gorgeous, now I want it 😭

I love that colour!

All I can say is thank goodness it's out of stock in my size. Otherwise...

It looks lovely OP. I must not shop! Honestly I didn’t mean to do Black Friday but got some great presents cheaply and very pleased about it. Mostly for teenagers.

I bought this dress/jumper from John Lewis.

It’s so gorgeous on, I’m really pleased with it, even though I see it’s now £20 cheaper 🤨

Both of these (purple ruched and grey/silver) are lovely. I love the matte wool and satin (?) together.

I've got my eye on an Equipment dress on the Outnet. It's reduced to £265 but that's still too much given that both my work and social life are ultra casual. Sigh

I love both of those. Though I am trying to avoid S and B because I do not need more clothes.

Do you mind sending the link to this? I love it!

@TheKnittedCharacter that's fabulous (not sure I'd call it green mind!), it's threads like these that make me wish I went anywhere other than gigs & festivals!!!!

Thank you so much! I’m going to keep an eye out to see if it comes back in stock 😁

I love these 😊

I’ve bought this midnight blue velvet jacket from Sainsbury’s of all places, and it’s lovely irl

It’s really not green in the slightest. It’s grey.

Ooh that’s nice. I’ve been on the lookout for a winter formal coverup so may pop into sainsburys tomorrow

Sorry that was to @MintTrackies reply didn’t work!

Some lovely clothes here.

I’m really pleased with this jacket, I like the Toteme vibes at a fraction of the cost!

and I’m patiently awaiting delivery of this Polene bag, so hoping I’ll be chuffed with it too!

@PepsiMaxLime 4th + reckless and polene are both brands I discovered from S+B! Such cool brands, making products that are bit different to the usual.

Love that bag (but can’t see price which scares me!) I’m in the market for a new work bag

I'm overjoyed with my Boden denim jacket...no longer available- I think I got the last one in clearance. Wore it travelling to Australia - perfect - soft flexible fabric, button-closed front pockets exactly the right size for passport/boarding pass/lip salve/mask. Everyone admired it. Best purchase in years.

Some cord dungarees from Passenger. Lushness and comfort combined.
