I've bought a few of these in different colours as they are very versatile. Can be worn on their own, over shorts or trousers. Cotton as well.

They’re nice, would be good with leggings or shorts for a casual outfit.

For tops and dresses I’ll only buy cotton/natural fibres. Can’t stand sweaty polyester or bobbly acrylic.

I love that skirt! I'd like it in a red stripe and a black stripe too!

Sunnycoffeedrinker · 08/06/2024 19:06

A bucket hat to keep the sun off my head 😂

henlake7 · 08/06/2024 19:40

a pair of wide legged jeans from New Look

New Look maxi leopard print skirt

Primark denim maxi skirt (finally reduced to £10....I refuse to pay proper shop prices in Primark!!LOL)

Primark army green maxi cargo skirt

oh, and a couple more £2.50 t shirts from Poundland, because I live in those things and they fit me better then any others Ive found (price is a massive bonus!).

Buggysleeper · 08/06/2024 19:46

I’ve just bought this. Loads more than I’d usually spend, but looks gorgeous, and needed to treat myself!

@henlake7 , I’m after a denim skirt, Primark is on my list of places to try.

@Buggysleeper thats lovely……really nice colour.

jumpsuits don’t suit me, I think because I’m short? But I love Nobody’s Child

Tappingthetopfloor · 08/06/2024 20:15

I’m very impressed for the price, it’s not the thickest but it’s so soft and looks good.

Sunnycoffeedrinker · 08/06/2024 20:21

I have a few of these from 4 years ago and the quality is lovely and they still look good as new - been warn a lot. I fancied a different colour this winter and the quality is not the same. Much thinner and has started bobbling.

I’d look for older ones on eBay / vinted to get the better quality cashmere.

On Cloud trainers (hands down the most comfy trainers I’ve ever had) and 2 Skims bralets from the Netaporter sale.
Black linen H&M shorts
Embroidered black shorts and a pair of slip on loafers from Sainsbury’s (that are very similar to Loro Piana loafers 😉)

These gingham trousers:

Uniqlo

This bag Cos bag

And a Ganni tee from Depop.

That Cos bag is lovely. I’ve been eyeing up their quilted messenger bag which comes in more colours but am put off by the size…..your bag looks a more sensible size.
