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 vest top, and a blouse from the charity shop that I’m really pleased with!

I actually bought this months ago, but have only just put my winter robe away and started wearing it. I loooooove it. For a summer weight robe, it feels so cosy and snug. (Didn't pay that price, incidentally, I had JL vouchers to use!)

I caved and ordered these from damson madder, had my eye on them for a bit. Just the trousers 😂

@Princessfluffy love the collared shirt.

I bought also bought a jacket from lululemon. Its lovely but glad I sized up, my size would have been too fitted for me.

They weren’t there. There was the blue stripe Ganni blouse and the broderie anglaise blouse in M&S (Sienna Miller) but honestly I couldn’t be arsed! Nipped into H&M and Zara and Uniqlo (that was the best) and there’s not a lot I liked in either. It does help in either if you’re a lot younger and slimmer but even I was slimmer there are certain things I wouldn’t wear!

I did see a new shop I’ve not seen, Reserved something but no time to go in my lunch break. That was in Westfield though. Maybe I’m jaded but the Morphe, Sephora and other shops just don’t call to me as they once did! 🤣

@CormorantStrikesBack I ordered those trousers too but didn't like them as much as I thought I would and preferred my wildcard choice of the same trousers in pink with the fruit labels.

The labels trousers have a matching shirt which I vaguely wondered about ordering but it seems like a very strong look to wear as a coord. Even just the trousers is a bit of a statement 😝

The trousers are lovely……the print is lovely but I know what you mean a the shirt as well might be too much. Have to say I’m not a fan of the co-ord look, i think it potentially gives off a pyjama vibe.

i keep seeing the red stripe trousers on TikTok and they look nice so will see what i think irl. They might be too pyjama for me 😁

I've just ordered a waterproof Barbour coat as this weather is so shit and I'm heading further North too in a couple of weeks 😂

The Damson Madder trousers went back, possibly I just needed to downsize but they seemed very baggy round the front, didn’t look good. Maybe just didn’t suit me as they look nice in others. I’m not bothering ordering the next size down to see if they’re better.

I was underwhelmed by those trousers too after liking them on instagram and TikTok!

Try the pink ones!!!

These emerald green wide leg green jeans. I’m short and cropped jeans usually don’t work for me but these actually do. I love them!!

They’re amazingly, I love the colour

@CormorantStrikesBack I have never bought anything from Roman but they are lovely. A little bit of stretch too. They’re a great length. I’ve ordered the bright jean blue colour too.

Twenty percent off at the too!

Also bought this bargain from Next and colours are lovely https://www.next.co.uk/g83385s3/459995

Sienna x M&S Broidery blouse (worn today)
Lucy & Yak black Alexa trousers for a barginous £12 from their eBay outlet (worn WFH a few times already. So comfy!)
Grey mohair H&M jumper that I was buying in the sale for winter and already worn a number of times

Just ordered a black marl mohair look winter coat and an olive satin AX Paris dress for a work dinner event from Very sale.

I got these in grey and silver. I love the silver ones. I also bought them in white but sent those back as they definitely weren’t white, more of a cream colour.

Popped into the mini market on the way home for 6 eggs. Making a cake in the morning.

I grabbed this in M&S yesterday. Was getting a bit desperate as we are going on our hols next week and i wanted something to cover my pasty legs for the first couple of evenings. Didn't "love" it when I picked it up but having tried it on at home with a pair of gold sandals, i absolutely love it. (Sometimes you've just got to try things you wouldn't usually wear)
Hangs really nicely, not clingy, and so light and comfortable. Hides a multitude of lumps and bumps ! Comes to my ankles (5'2") Really pleased with it.
