As per the title, I’m just looking for inspiration and interested to see what people are buying.

The last thing I bought was a pair of board shorts, neither stylish or beautiful, but practical.

A pair or wide leg joggers from Uniqlo, in a lovely dark brown colour. They’re so comfy and length is perfect for me. Great for chucking on after a gym session or while WFH, while still looking reasonably put together.

Saint and Sofia polka dot dress eBay. I was looking for other polka dot dresses but not found any I liked and cba to order/return etc. Next polka dot stretch capri leggings. Very comfy. All Saints green crane print dress EBay. Mandy Moore vintage 80s short sleeved midaxi blue pattern dress eBay.

Ooh I am a sucker for a crane print. Can you tell me more about the dress? Maybe a link or pic / style name?

I’ve googled and can see one but don’t want to be missing out on crane loveliness!

For me it was less about the cranes more about the colour. Details in link.

Selected femme black linen trousers (not with drawstring). I tripped and fell and tore the knee on my current ones this week so needed a replacement. They’re such comfy lovely trousers.

Uniqlo linen shirt, to add to my large collection of their linen shirts
Uniqlo cotton canvas utility trousers
Uniqlo bucket hat
Uniqlo sunglasses.

Why, yes, my nearest big city has just got a branch of Uniqlo...

Is it Leeds yet?

I've been a bit uninspired clothing-wise recently so am enjoying this thread, thank you!

I bought yet another pair of my usual summer trousers (M-S tapered 7/8ths linen with pockets) from Vinted - the greatest trousers ❣️ - and a charity shop floral midi skirt but not much else. Actually I also got some TU barrel leg chinos that in really pleased with! TU is doing well at the moment but I reckon it deffo goes in phases - sometimes the stuff is bafflingly horrible, sometimes amazing.

I've not bought any clothes for a while as I have zero space in any wardrobe. I have been buying lots of beauty bits - Chanel water tint skin base, 2 big bottles of Jo Malone perfume, a few new lip products and some moisturiser.

@ConfusedHappy there's some newer ribbed ones in H&M - in a silk/cotton and with a scoop neck that have just arrived online & are a slimmer fit. Thanks for the sizing tip. I will know to order one size down.

I bought a nars lipstick but the colour is awful on me. Luckily I can return to space nk and they give me gift card.

Some body oil and perfume from Nuxe having sniffed the testers in M+S the other day

Black pleated wide legged trousers from FatFace along with this blouse and this one from Finery for upcoming job interviews

Got the first job! So now have these Kickers shoes and some beige DMs on the way from Vinted, as I will be based in an office for the first time in ages and feel I need something that isn’t trainers or sandals.

Before that was this Nobody’s Child jacket after seeing it recommended on here, love it 😻

Really really need to stop shopping now 😬

I tripped and fell into a Killstar sale unfortunately!
Nice black bag (I was after one that was a decent size but not huge), also a net mini skirt that I am too old for......but will wear anyways!😆

Just bought a couple of bits from primark on my work break!😂
A black and white stripe mini shirt dress which will hopefully be nice when it arrives.
Also yet another baseball cap! Been looking for a plain neutral one and they have a nice linen one.
