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:

And carrot shape jeans.

What have you got your eye on?

If money were no object, I would rather like...

I would love this jacket. I definitely can't justify buying it, but I tried it on in store and it is lovely and so soft.

I agree. We are just coming out of winter and I can't wait to get rid of the layers. So annoying to have to wear so many clothes. In summer I throw on a dress or a skirt and top and go. Easy living.

If I could bring myself to spend this much on some boots I would buy these, but I keep finding more sensible things to spend money on and to be completely honest I'm not very good at looking after things.

These are divine.

Get them!

@LyndaSnellsSniff Love that jacket

Nothing. Ill probably stick with what I wore last year. Love ny Ugg Kensington boots as they are so comfortable but the sole has come away. Bought some shoe glue which will hopefully do the job. If not then I'll have to splurge on a new pair.

I bought this jacket this week-really pleased with it https://www.marksandspencer.com/pure-cotton-short-button-through-jacket/p/clp61235148#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r2c2

@TemperanceWest I ordered this just to try, as I had a Vinted balance that I could withdraw to justify it. I fully expected it not to be as nice in real life and be returned… but it’s lovely!

Thank you! I have just ordered it as I really love it.

Hope you love it as much as I do. I use ChatGPT to assess my new purchases and it can be brutal in its feedback, but even AI agreed I should keep it 😀

I bought a couple of floaty chiffony dresses and an autograph tan leather jacket from Vinted, which I am praying fits. I also bought a slouchy velvet, cupcake and cashmere, black top which I think I am going to live in. I am hiding my eyes at the anthropology dress listed up thread particularly as it comes in petite and is nice than mine on the waist.

The most gorgeous brown waisted corduroy dress has arrived BNWT from Vinted and I am in love with it. It's going to be great for casual weekends and less formal office days. A fiver! So pleased with it. I also got a great charcoal pleated skirt in a smaller size, also BNWT on vinted. This was a real workhorse in my wardrobe last winter so I am really pleased to have found it in a smaller size.

Planning to do another wardrobe audit tomorrow and spot any gaps and also get my knee high boots out and waterproof them and check for any repairs that are needed. This will obviously herald the arrival of heatwave number 38 or whatever we're on...🤣

I've just ordered this military jacket in navy.
Its soft and feels like a cardigan apparently which appeals. I've seen it worn a lot this week on Melissa Murrells Instagram account.

@BlueFahrenheit please come and style me! I love everything!

I am in the market for some proper Levi’s. And we have a shop where I live. So I am planning a trip to go and try on many styles and pairs.

I feel like I am low on jeans - I’ve got rid of so many as I’ve lost weight. And I want decent ones that will last and last.

I'm currently going through my knitwear and deciding what to sell and any gaps I need to fill. I don't need any more trousers or jeans atm, but probably some long-sleeved tops for layering, I've got my eye on a couple on Vinted.

I'm looking forward to wearing layers and textures and a different colour palette of greys, charcoal, forest green, navy, burgundy.

Wow, that’s exactly the skirt I wore to my college interview in August 1978. I just don’t keep my stuff long enough!
I was all into brown until I spotted this today in hazel:

Goodness me, that style is a blast from the past for me too! I had a very similar skirt in pink....I'm not sure how long ago, but I can remember walking up the school path with a baby on one hip while wearing it.....and my youngest is now 23.

Love that asymmetrical skirt too - I used to have loads in maybe the early 90s.

I found this in my wardrobe, pinstripe ✅ asymmetrical ✅ brown ✅ It has a Whistles label and must be 20 years old but I think I will wear it to work when my long boots come out. Thanks for the reminder!

I'm intrigued by your slouchy velvet cupcake.

Edited to add: I assumed there was some sort of typo, but after googling I see there is a brand called Cupcake and Cashmere, so you've bought a black, slouchy, velvet Cupcake and Cashmere top!

Those are the best "buys" when you find you already own something you're looking for!

I’m looking for long sleeved dresses for work. I bought biker style black boots last year and didn’t get enough wear out of them

This thread has just reminded me I have 2 “mistakes” in the coat department from last year to need to go onto Vinted
