A new thread to share 'shopping from our wardrobes' so we realise we already have nice things to wear and don't need to buy anything else.

Such a prettily coloured outfit @outofideas2& @Princessfluffy.
I've received my lace edged Zara vests & I'm so pleased - they're so pretty. I've been looking for pure cotton scoop neck vest tops for a while. H&M used to do silk/cotton mix ones that were lovely & lasted for years. But they're now all high necked variants. I bought a couple of Rosemunde silk/cotton mix ones on eBay & they're good but still expensive. The Zara ones are very reasonable & they go with the white joggers & blouse I have all in their signature oyster white.

Congrats @Cantonetits SO satisfying to find good basics for your wardrobe

Princessfluffy · 19/05/2025 19:19

@dayslikethese1thank you so much for the excellent outfit idea on Whering, I have sent you one back!

@Princessfluffy please post a pic of you in the outfit!

Couldn't decide what to wear today and it's a bit chillier so just went for a simple long skirt, t-shirt combination. Nipped to the shops I so wore my new jacket (this is the only thing I kept from my Warehouse order and I really like it).

Loving the jacket!

dayslikethese1 · 22/05/2025 17:21

Its nice and warm and soft as well 😌

Cantonet · 22/05/2025 20:43

Jackets that are warm & soft as well as looking good are invaluable@dayslikethese1.I love the styling with the satin skirt.

I'm very happy with my outfit today. Linen trousers bought a couple of years ago & a cotton crochet short sleeved cardigan from Primark of all places.

And on a crochet theme a cotton waistcoat the day before from H&M with jeans. I'm just crochet obsessed at the moment.

@Netcam that wool coat looks very cosy.

@Cantonet, love the short jacket. A good lightweight jacket is great in this kind of weather.

Ooh, some nice outfits going on this week! Really like the satin skirt colour and the crochet.

Interesting tone upon a tone @Netcam.
I found a new way of wearing leopard - cotton muslin pjs.

What fun PJs.

I have several pairs of different trousers that are this kind of coral colour. Although I like this as a light colour for summer since I am much too messy to wear white/cream trousers, many of my tops don't really look right with it.

I find red, black or navy seems to work best to compliment the colour. But i'm open to other suggestions (bearing in mind I think I only have one white/cream summer top, but have t-shirts in numerous other colours.

Love the cardigan and crochet. I have a crochet top a tiny bit similar, I normally wear it over a longer top or with a cropped cardigan. I also have a crochet waistcoat so I guess I fell into that trend too!

dayslikethese1 · 25/05/2025 09:29

Today's outfit, haven't decided which boots to wear yet, depends how warm it is.

@Netcam pastel shades of blue/lemon/pink come to mind? I'm very much a neutrals dresser and tend to follow a uniform, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. Do you follow Erica Davies on Instagram? She's amazing at colour clashes & they really seem to work on her.

@dayslikethese1is that a necklace in a bowl or something else? Sort of looks like a nice lunch 😁

I can't imagine myself wearing pastel blue, lemon or pink and don't really have any tops in those colours. Maybe that's why I find it hard to find good matches for coral. Also I generally prefer a stronger colour with a pale colour for contrast.

anon2022anon · 25/05/2025 19:06

@dayslikethese1 also want to ask if that's a hat or bowl of salad 😂

@Netcam a good solid rich chocolate brown should look good with that colour and work with some of your wardrobe?

WillaDeWord · 26/05/2025 07:15

My outfits for the Med so far this week. A mix of fancy dinners and sightseeing.

Love the leopard PJs @Cantonet!

@WillaDeWord I love your clothes! I think you’ll look so glamorous on holiday. Can I ask where your bag is from? It’s my birthday soon and I’m looking for ideas for handbags-I like yours. I had been looking at Polene and DeMellier but nothing is quite right.

dayslikethese1 · 27/05/2025 08:27

Hehe anon and cantonet that's my entry for earrings on Whering. Rather than photographing each pair individually, I just photographed the bowl I keep them in. These are my bigger/statement earrings, it's to signify when I think an outfit needs them basically.

WillaDeWord · 27/05/2025 21:54

Thank you @sunshinechaser. My bag is from Kaai - a favourite brand of mine as their bags are so, so sturdy!

dayslikethese1 · 28/05/2025 11:54

Does anyone watch any YouTubers who make their own outfits from what they own/shop their own wardrobes? A couple I watch are beepworld and Caroline Tucker but I'd love to find more. I much prefer those types of creators over those who do hauls.
