What have you bought recently?

[CormorantStrikesBack]

Im having a wardrobe revamp so after inspiration. So far this is some of my purchases.

tu skirt, looks better in real life than in the photo

Zara shirt. Not to be worn with the skirt above

denim waistcoat

Got a leopard print midi skirt from Tesco as well. But think it’s sold out.

new look trousers

This jumpsuit from Joanie in green and this top in their sale. Some new trainers because my others are started to look fairly scruffy. Some school uniform bits ready for September for my DC and a few dresses from Vinted from a favourite brand that is usually beyond my budget but very reasonable preloved.

These, but I don't know if I like them. I never wear white trainers but thought it was time I joined the crowd. But because I don't like following the crowd, I got DCs as I used to wear them when I was a young skater girl and feel they are ever so slightly rebellious...

I just bought this in the medium indigo colour, and in the "long" length so it's almost ankle length. Really pleased with it. Think it'll be ok with boots and a jumper or flip flops and a tee......#britishsummertime 🙄

Denim Midi Skirt | M&S Collection | M&S (marksandspencer.com)

Most of my recent purchases have been second-hand stuff from Vinted, including:

Platform Converse in leopard print (new in the box, massive bargain)
A black Whistles midi dress with white polka dots and a distressed lace trim, quite goth/grungey
A grey denim Boden dungaree pinafore dress

Also did buy one thing new, which was this from Disturbia:

I bought the jumpsuit to wear to Wimbledon.
When will summer arrive? My wardrobe is so ready.

Needed a white top to go,with the blue and white stripe skirt I got the other day. Ordered this, it arrived today and looks nice on. Can’t say I’ve ever ordered from Roman before (is it the old Roman originals shop?) 🙈

I picked up this Modern Rarity mohair blend jumper for a fiver at the market, brand new with tags. Bit warm to wear now.

i'm updating shoes; 4 pairs of white runners one pair donated (bought online and unable to return).
1 pair of low heeled black pumps (good price and look fairly classic) and just today a pair of black sandals.
Gabor Aviemore Black 42.744.57 - Full Sandals - Humphries Shoes
my sister in law swears by gabor shoes for quality and comfort so...being on sale i thought it was a good plan to try them.

This dress as something nice and comfy and floaty for me after months of maternity wear, but still feeding friendly.

May have just ordered a couple of summer maxi dresses from Joanie and Jo Brown.
Summer is bound to happen at some point and I will be ready!😊

@CormorantStrikesBack those cherry trousers have now just made it to my basket, thanks 😊 what's the sizing like?

A tk Maxx find so it's not online, but a red linen fit and flare dress with 3/4 sleeves and pockets. Fits like a dream and will hopefully last years as it's a classic for me 🤞

mango pleated jeans
Zara leopard trousers
basic ribbed tshirt

mango tshirt this didn't add on to the last

@anon2022anon id say the sizing is true to size for the trousers. They look nice on, something a bit different.

I love Joanie.

I've just got a t shirt very similar from Topshop at ASOS.

Love those, have ordered in beige.

That looks nice. I splashed out on a midi button down front Levi’s denim skirt (dark wash) over lockdown but realised after I’d worn it a couple of times it’s not my best length or style. Ended up ebaying it.

Lucy & Yak - Leo Ragan Jumpsuit
Lucy & Yak - Maria Jumpsuit
Lucy & Yak - Purple Rain Jumpsuit
Lucy & Yak - Devlin Jumpsuit
Lucy & Yak - Larson Joggers
Lucy & Yak - Pink Gingham Rex boiler suit
Lucy & Yak - Hudson sunflower jacket
Lucy & Yak - Leo poppy skirt
Lucy & Yak - Leo chucks culottes
Lucy & Yak - Sadie blouse (in 3 colours)

There is a bit of a theme and I don't think many MNers would like my style but it makes me happy 😜

I'm almost 3 stone down in weightloss and had to replace pretty much everything I own clothes wise. I haven't bought new clothes in years until recently.

Oh and some Dr Martens sandals (in the style Voss) which are ridiculously comfortable unlike most shoes from them!

A lovely malachite necklace from Rixo.

M&S has had some sizes of the sienna miller barrel leg jeans coming back in stock and I’ve managed to order a pair.

No idea if they’d suit me but not in stock in my size… however I’m in Westfield Stratford tomorrow so will look for them and the Primark Ganni dupe blouse - not holding out hope for either!

Annoyingly I was in a massive M&S clothes shopping on launch day, forgot it was coming out that day. Obviously missed any posters, etc. walked past the area thinking that none of it looked my style. In fairness from the stuff I’ve seen on TikTok none of it is apart from possibly the jeans, will depend how they fit though.

Im really tempted to try some.
I have a maxi t shirt dress in a few colours that flares out at the hip in the same way and its surprisingly flattering.
