Mine is a good/unusual collar.

I have a slightly embarrassing thing for Air Jordan 1 hi tops. I recently bought another pair on Vinted which were "barely worn and now outgrown", realised I am probably wearing a Year 8 boy's shoes 😳

Also love stripes and checks, corduroy and do like a graphic tee.

Highlyunlikelyisitnit · 07/03/2025 13:37

I like a grey jumper too

SheherazadesSpringNonsense · 07/03/2025 13:42

+1 for coats and jackets. I used to have a thing for shoes but that seems to have waned

PeskyRooks · 07/03/2025 13:59

Fatface Simone dresses
Tshirts with cats on them
Whenever they pop up on the dangerous "recommended for you " bit of Vinted I have to have them!

Also black leggings and black cardigans- the building blocks of my outfits.

Scarves, handbags and eyeshadow palettes!

DramaAlpaca · 07/03/2025 15:52

Shoes and handbags in interesting colours. No boring black or brown for me.

Thought of another:

Virtual try-ons.

How much time did I waste after midnight last night gazing at my own ridiculously filtered and smoothed out face on my phone screen, serially adorned with every single eye, face and lip cosmetic sold by Gucci and Hermes?

It certainly took away some hours of rest. But I did discover that beige lipsticks currently work better for me than anything more colourful. And that I need to bear in mind the colour of my sunglasses to get the best effect.

(Recommendations of other make up brands that offer this entertainment facility would be very welcome!)

I just brought 3 coats in the next clearance, a long black wool mix, a black reversible puffer with animal print and a black teddy coat. So I guess it's coats for me.

Flomingho · 07/03/2025 17:29

Trainers. I have far too many pairs.

Oh - like this?

Stories dress

Mine? Tweed, but that’s not detrimental. My compulsion to seek out and stupidly buy massively cut price The Elder Statesman knitwear, however … Hmm Good grief, the billion dollar camisole in an un-wearably bright hue; the gazillion pound cashmere shorts - I never bloody wear shorts! Why do I do this?

OMG I love these dresses, have just bought 2.
I'd love to see where you get your Tweed from and any other clothes recommendations.

Mooandmae1 · 09/03/2025 12:23

Nike Trainers and Uggs. Uggs seem to coming back but I've never stopped wearing mine.
I was a teenage chav and I still love it all x

henlake7 · 09/03/2025 12:53

oh, Rocket Dog shoes. I have way more of the Jazzin trainers then I need.

Also scarves, Im not a jewellery person but I just love a scarf.

Gingefringe · 09/03/2025 12:55

Embroidered tops, stripes, linen, jackets, hats, sunglasses.

ThePoshUns · 09/03/2025 13:21

Jumpsuits

RavenT · 09/03/2025 13:29

Stripey tops. I'm big busted, but feel the right top with stripes conceals that. 💁🏽‍♀️
Coats and jackets, especially in khaki green.

Somethingsnapped · 09/03/2025 17:16

Jumpers, and boots! And also dresses, skirts and trousers, ahem....

NormaMajors1992coat · 09/03/2025 17:24

Right now - floaty summer trousers with elasticated waists, I had too many pairs already and have bought more this week Blush

dayslikethese1 · 09/03/2025 17:33

Summer dresses, bright colours, cardigans, plaid shirts. Oh and fun earrings. Many things tbh 😳

Gymbunny2025 · 09/03/2025 20:51

I spend way too much on sports bra/leggings combos.

Plus midi pencil skirts and Levi jeans

TheOriginalFrench · 09/03/2025 21:03

I may have just ordered another jumper. 🙄 From La Fetiche. Something stripy in the sale that I’d looked at for several years but hadn’t realised I wanted until today. (I have a few very treasured pieces from them.) It suddenly seemed perfect for a meeting I’m not even sure I’ll have in a few weeks. Must have been the last one as they’re sold out now.

Pumpkincozynights · 10/03/2025 07:54

I’ve just bought yet another dress and a jumper.

Mine is a good/unusual collar.

I love shopping for dresses, hoodies and jumpsuits on Next website but never know what style to go for. Looking for suggestions for work and day dresses.

henlake7 · 10/03/2025 10:45

Can I have an anti-fashion weakness?😄

Coz Im a 52 yr old women who probably owns way too many pinafore dresses and dungarees!
They are my go to comfy outfit and my version of leggings and sweatshirt.

TheOriginalFrench · 10/03/2025 12:21

Another promising collar, @Britpopbaby - top photo!
