Where are we buying autumn clothes?

I’m looking for a few bits - some skirts, tops, maybe a nice chunky jumper or two. Maybe a pair of shoes too, ideally looking to spend under £400 for the lot.

Where are we shopping?!

ebay.
I wanted to pick up some high end clothing as I'm sick of cheap clothes that won't last. I want some classic items that will last year after year. Same with shoes.
I don't get on with Vinted, everything I've bought from there looks like it's come from a jumble sale or smells.
I've managed to get several brand new and unworn clothing and shoes from baukjen, van dal and so on for next to nothing. Everything I bought cost at least £150 new.

I’ve got some tops from Nobody’s child, jumpers from with nothing underneath and white company.

Also got the Crawford jeans from with nothing underneath and really like the shape, it’s the shape I’ve tried (and failed!) to get with levis!

Haven’t spotted any skirts I like the look of, nor shoes really. Everything still seems to be in the ballet style and my feet get too cold for that!

I bought some new trousers from M and S the chocolate barrels the first new thing I have bought in years. I sell vintage on eBay so usually source my clothes from my own suppliers. I am very much the country lady, Claudia from Traitors style but off to uni next week at 58 so wanted to blend in a bit

It was brown all last winter, brown all spring and summer, now it's still brown.

Free People jumpers. Cute little beret from Vivienne Westwood. Going to take a look at Urban Outfitters for jeans Don’t really need anything else. Not that that will stop me if I see something nice, lol.

Lilysilk for cashmere sweaters and cardigans. Very good price and quality and 20% off full price right now. Colours are classic: cream, black, beige, some burgundy or navy. Styles are classic with a bit of an edge - longer or wider sleeves wide shallow V necks. Bit more arty that country classics. I love them.

M&S, Sézane (some lovely chunky knitwear but reasonably expensive) and Zara.

Also M and S for autumn colours which don't suit me anyway no I'm not bothered about those.I just wear what I look good in.

I could spend a fortune in Crew Clothing. Unfortunately I only had enough money for 3 tops and 2 nightdreses from Primark
