I have hundreds of them! And t bar shoes, high ones. And wide leg trousers. I need to branch out! What do you always tend to go for?

Any sort of knitwear. Even in the height of Summer (not this year obv).

And jeans. I crossly said to myself yesterday in the Gap "no, no more jeans". Unfortunately I said it out loud [mad old lady emoticon]

Little cardis, i love them and am always on the lookout for cute ones. Oh and vest tops too.

maidamess · 06/09/2008 15:12

Yes I have MANY pairs of jeans too, but I wear them all! Infact jeans is all I wear at weekends really.

Yes, always black for me too. And it does absolutely nothing for me.

In fact, black cardis are a big part of my shopping life.

janeite · 06/09/2008 15:16

Saramoon - where do you get your little cardigans from please? I've just bought a cute one in M&S in bright fuschia pink and would love some in different colours. I need them to be V neck though - and the others I've seen elsewhere have been round necked.

The thing I'm always drawn to is cute flared, just under the knee 50s style skirts in quirky patterns or silk - I've got about 12 of them!

saramoon · 06/09/2008 15:23

Janeite, I love those skirts too!! I have a few cardis from, let me think, cara, topshop, zara, charity shops, motel, txmaxx, monty smith.

janeite · 06/09/2008 15:25

Thanks - will have a look in Topshop; instead of hanging around the entrance twiddling my thumbs whilst dd1 is in there! I looked in Zara and couldn't find anything.

I've never heard of Cara or Monty Smith.

littlestrawberry · 06/09/2008 15:29

Love cardigans, of all colours. M&S have some lovely cardi's at the moment.

chocolateshoes · 06/09/2008 15:31

Fat Face & White stuff for funky skirts & cute cardis. Those are my style too. At the moment I'm also drawn to warm knits as the weather is so grim but can't find much around. I want to be snug!

twinsetandpearls · 06/09/2008 16:01

anything with a bit of sparkle or a big pattern, also love red and teal - not togther though.

maidamess · 06/09/2008 16:03

now twinset I am trying to get into pattern more...everything in my wardrobe is plain. I always worry I will get fed up with big statements.

Chunky but trendy boots and shoes are my thing. And I always have to check out Schue for new colours of Converse in the summer. And tops which are patterned but not stripes or florals.

Ledodgy · 06/09/2008 18:05

Jeans.
