I buy everything from Vinted after choosing colours which work for me rather than reaching for the navy Bretons and jeans everyday
For me, it’s Dusky pink, Cherry red, Purple( winter) or Lilac( summer)
I can’t resist a Broderie blouse or T shirt or an A line buttoned up skirt in Cord, Cotton or denim.
Pinafores the same
ive just had a 100% red silk vest delivered £3! Which will be nice for my forthcoming weekend in Amsterdam
interested to see what draws your eye to buy something?

Navy and white floral prints always draw my eye, but these days I know better as I inevitably look like a mid 90s NatWest bank worker or like I’m wearing a uniform from the days when female cabin crew were still called air hostesses!

generally I’m drawn to colour and pattern though.

I'm with you on the Broderie blouse. Very hard to resist although I feel its' days are numbered. Anything in brown, anything in orange red. Gold shoes. Now coming up to Autumn so traditional knits. Fisherman's sweaters.

Bright colours and patterns, always drawn to a rangoli or paisley type pattern as well.

Just ordered a dress from Boden, loved the colours and pattern, just got email, they have cancelled the order.

Oh no How disappointing
Take it as a compliment to your good taste!
