Best spring/ summer purchases of 2024?

[PragmaticDramatic]

A cheap and cheerful little Broderie Anglaise Ganni inspired top from the Divided range at H&M has been a good buy.

Incredibly, a £7 linen mix t-shirt from Matalan.

I went to Italy in July and just before I left realised that I only had sleeveless or long-sleeved tops. Hasty purchase of t-shirt from Matalan, gorgeous blue colour, seems to wash well = all good.

In terms of the most useful items & the ones I've worn most frequently in this in between summer it's these 2.
M&S tan lightweight trench coat.
Free People tan suede shopper via eBay.
Can be flung over jeans and a white T and some gold hoops/necklaces & instantly makes me feel put together.

@Cantonet thats the thing about a good/ smart coat, it instantly makes you look pulled together , I think.
