What autumn buys have you got your eye on?

[Trounlet]

I'm currently looking at my wardrobe and what I might want to update it for autumn.

I'm mid50s, 5'7" and size 14.

I'm currently looking at these:

Boots

Jacket

And carrot shape jeans.

What have you got your eye on?

@quirkychick the tartan skirt sounds gorgeous!

@CointreauVersial the length is everywhere at the moment, I need to try it as I’m thinking it would be longer on me than the model. With the right boots I think it could look really elegant.

For those loving the TU black kilt, the Maje kilt that it was a copy of does pop up on Vinted for a good price. I have it and it’s amazing, very excited to wear it again.

I want dungarees but it’s hard to find the right pair for my body. I do not like Lucy and Yak. I saw a woman in Carharrt ones the other day and they were stunning but they cost bomb and I can’t afford them!

I’ve just got this jacket/cardigan - super pleased with it! Over a t-shirt vest for now and add extra layers as it gets colder

I had the idea of an embroidered duster coat for a while, I could see it in my mind's eye,so generated that image using AI to make my search easier.I did find some lovely garments, but ££££ expensive.
So I bought an identical chocolate brown velver duster- or opera coat from Shein for £10. I wasn't expecting much,but it is lovely, generous in size, good heavy fabric. I then bought some embroidery applique trim from ebay and nearly finished sewing it - I am so happy with the result. Total cost for the coat and trim was less than £20.

Waves to @speakout would velvet Mary Janes work? I have some which are Tai Chi shoes from a hippy shop - very cheap!

@BangingOn that Next skirt is very similar to mine! The tartan on mine is green and black on a white background.

This is the skirt I have (I inherited mine free)

I have my eye on this skirt but it is very expensive for what it is.

@TemperanceWest if you could forego the lace M&S have something similar in pinstripe.
im lusting after the M&S silk circle skirt, but not sure where or how I would wear it.

Thanks! Will have a look.

That is lovely!

Hi quirkychicki need to think about footwear-I am so difficult with my shoes ! I will have a look at the ones you suggest.

Love that green check Next skirt @CointreauVersial
@BangingOn I wore box pleat skirts (with cream tights, bare legs were never allowed😱) when I first started working in London in 1983!

No clothes but I want some bits from George's home range and some pretty ceramic pumpkins from Dunelm.

That All Saints cardigan is fabulous 👌

A silk circle skirt? Where? Do you have a link please?

I used to have a black one and wore it until it fell apart, they're really easy to wear.

I have very clear mental image of this in my mind! I was wearing the 10 year old girl equivalent, cream tights and everything.

I was picturing it with a sleek black polo neck and long black boots that go above the hemline, but it’s possible this only looks good in my head.

Oh lord this thread could spell financial disaster because I too love that next skirt @CointreauVersial !

I have my eye on this cord jacket but don't want to pay £50 for polyester. I may have a look on Vinted for something similar.

I love that lace-trim skirt, @TemperanceWest . A refreshing change from all the slippery satin around at the moment....but yes, pricey.

To be honest, if you are handy with a needle/sewing machine, and have a regular skirt you could buy some broad lace and sew it on underneath the hem. I did this recently with a Uniqlo sleeveless top that had become rather too cropped in the wash. I found some lace on Amazon, and it was transformed.

I have always wanted a camel coloured winter coat so took the plunge and invested in one from Cos.

I’ve also got a new jumper and black jeans winging their way to me, from M&S

Jumoer

Jeans

That is such a good idea. Thank you ❤️

What's the weirdness going on under the boobs of the top? Is it AI?

I've bought 3 pairs of these jeans from M&S. Harper Cigarette jeans I was so happy to see a straight leg.

Sorry for the massive link. 😅 I want these pajamas, they have matching kid's ones too (but DS's age isn't available yet.) And there's a Halloween nightie too.

I didn't notice the odd boob thing- does look a little strange Yes the image is AI

@anon2022anon I have the dark green version of that beige fringed coat. It's lovely and fits really well.
