Anyone started shopping for summer yet?

[DGPP]

what have you got and what are you replacing? Anything on your wishlist?
I'm looking for casual dresses

I have those cargoes in black @MooseyMoo
I bought them 2 years ago and have worn them such a lot. They were definitely a great buy.

Buying some summer wellington boots!

Too much already. In my defence, I go on holiday in 3 weeks, so telling myself I'm buying now instead of later.

Bought this Zara cardigan in Barcelona in February and I'm living in it, might be too thick for summer though. https://www.zara.com/uk/en/striped-knit-cardigan-p06771008.html?v1=327873017&v2=2352849 I also have the black chanel-esque one someone linked above in cream, such a good cardigan. It's lasting well for Zara too.

Wearing these trousers today, they're such good quality for the price and hang lovely https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1217677004.html

This dress is sitting in my wardrobe waiting to be worn https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1212602001.html

I was unsure about this maxi, but it's nice on with a t-shirt https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1225776003.html

Gold Mary Janes https://www.asos.com/stradivarius/stradivarius-minimal-ballet-shoe-in-gold/prd/206087723?ctaRef=my+orders

Basic but really nice quality tshirts- I like these more than Uniqlo https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-ultimate-t-shirt-with-crew-neck-in-cotton-blend-2-pack-save-in-black-and-white-multi/prd/202423939?ctaRef=my+orders

Just had some leopard print jeans delivered to try too

I find the stores so hit and miss. They can look like a jumble sale sometimes, or they can look fabulous, but then have never ending queues for the dressing rooms and to pay. As you say, the website doesn't do the clothes justice often, and it is quite hard to navigate as there is so much (like ASOS), but links like yours make it easier! 😜

@TheGirlattheBack Ah thanks, didn’t even occur to me that actual real shops might stock it. Looks like Collen & Claire in Southwold have it, I’ve been meaning to take a little trip there for a while.

Forgot these, they're lovely. Hang absolutely gorgeous with a good weight, and look a lot more expensive than they are

This in white and khaki https://tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/product/tuc143679671

I want some jorts but everyone laughed at my selection on a thread I started so I'm a bit uncertain now! Just ordered a midi denim skirt. Need some ankle grazers for work and a few summer tops. Maybe a dress or two. I've lost 7.5 stone since this time last year so errrrr I need some summer stuff!! And I can now wear a much more ambitious selection of clothes so trying to stop myself going crazy at the shops!

I’ve realised that 2/3 of my clothes are summer clothes which is ridiculous as I am really cold blooded.
So I’m hoping to scour eBay/vinted and get some decent wool jumpers for a good price when people have their winter clear out.

I tried these wide leg trousers on in Sainsburys today, but at 5'7" they were just a tad too short for me

I bought this. So expensive but I am so in love with the colour.

Me too!!! So annoying!!

@mrschocolatte I absolutely LOVE that colour. I have a skirt from there that colour from at least 3 summers ago and it is still going strong so your dress will last... an investment ;)

I got this dress in white and black. It's very flattering.

@anon2022anon I love that maxi skirt.

are the asos T-shirts as good quality/thick as Uniqlo ones?

@CormorantStrikesBack no, a completely different texture. The Uniqlo ones are thick and a little bit unwieldy I find sometimes, and a tiny bit too short in the body. I don't like them for under things or on really hot days.
The ASOS ones are a lot thinner but not see through like lots are, they feel really soft too. I sized down one as they're oversized, the size 12 is still loose fit on me as a 14. So I'll keep both, for different things

P.S. your name reminded me to order book 6 for holiday this week 😁

Ha ha, enjoy

I got a Uniqlo comptoir des cotonniers collab black linen suit the other day - love it.

And ordered some Birkenstock arizonas as my others broke last year after about 10 years.

Argh, summer clothes give me anxiety as I rarely find good fits. I bought a brown pair of thin cotton trousers from COS sale in January, and a brown pair of shorts from Passenger. I think I'm good for bottoms.

What I do need is some leather sandals- I'm thinking metallic or black, and a summer dress. I sold almost ALL my summer dresses last year. None of them felt right. I rarely wear skirts, but I'd like one but I'm so picky. It has to be v thin, gauzy cotton, as I only wear dresses when very hot. No tiers, no frills. V-neck, scoop or maybe boat neck. No spaghetti straps, although wide straps are ok (thinking more of a v short sleeve, cap sleeve or sleeveless. No prints, preferably neutral. I basically want to feel like i'm wearing air!

@Pigtailsandall depending what style of sandals you’re after I had a couple of good leather pairs from M&S last year, and I’ve bought these in cream already this year…

Plus a sleeveless denim dress that no longer seems to be in stock.

And denim shorts from Zara

this was the denim dress.

I’m still researching leopard print. I think I’ve narrowed it down to wanting a faded print that goes with greys or browns.

I’m also on the lookout for a bandana/small neckerchief scarf and maybe some flat brown sandals.

There's such lovely things in the shops right now. It's a nightmare as I'm not meant to be buying anything.

I need to soon buy trousers that won’t suit me but that I need. Going on hols to south east Asia and need clothes for walking around and visiting temples during the day and I feel depressed about clothes shopping
