The Mock Turtle

They are fab Pip!

I bought a couple of dresses from the Boden sale, which are for work

Those are really classy, Sally.

Boden sale purchase here too! I saw it a while back but they didn’t have the colour/size I wanted until I checked back this morning. I really love navy for spring and this sleeve length is just my favourite

I bought this on Monday. It’s so much brighter in real life than the photo and I absolutely love it.

It's Fruit Salad colours!

There are some really lovely cardigans in the shops and after not wearing them for years I'm IN!

That cardi is fab Pip! Where's it from?

Also love the Boden dresses Sally!

My recent Vinted purchases. The green short-sleeved cardigan is more of an emerald green. The skirt is A-line.

I like that cardi a lot too.

Oh l, mine is from a VERY exclusive boutique. I doubt you’ll have heard of it.

Sainsbury’s, of course.

Ahhh, Sainsbury's haute couture...well, I would have never guessed!

Funny anecdote: years ago we stayed at a B&B in Bath and the owner spoke with a very posh accent and really wanted us to know how excellent her establishment was. At breakfast she repeatedly told us the reason for her wonderful sausages/bacon/jam was that they came from Sainsbury's, "a cut above the rest". Ever since, each time I see the name Sainsbury's, a voice inside my head says "a cut above the rest"

I have also been shopping at Sainsbury’s haute couture recently

I do like the skirt colours and it looks nice on, but it’s very much a clingy polyester skirt. I hope that wearing it with a cotton or silk underskirt and washing it with lots of fabric conditioner will make it less clingy.

I love that skirt and have basket danced with it a lot but I have a few pleated midi skirts now so can’t justify it.

I’ve been looking for my spring trench coat of dreams and hopefully this is the one:
They didn’t have any coats/jackets to try in their one UK store so I hope it works (and Evri don’t deliver it to my bin!)

That’s so classic. for the delivery.

That's lovely.

I still want a burgundy Burberry one for autumn.

A burgundy burberry sounds perfect for autumn. Definitely check out the factory shop if you're ever in Hackney. I got my black one from there and it's still going strong, 10 years on!

I really like that emma_p!

I read an article in the paper today about French style dressing being back, and was influenced enough to buy a blue pin striped oversized shirt from H&M and got the last but one navy cashmere jumper from Uniqlo in my size (and it was in the sale ). This makes up for shrinking my favourite grey jumper in the wash this week, which now fits A so I have given it to her.

I'm clearly easily influenced at the moment, as I also got these New Balance trainers which have arrived and I

They're gorgeous, Flora! I quite fancy a new pair of trainers like that.

Ooh, I really like those.

You’re all making me want something new for spring.

Mine are less fashion, more for active wear but I bought these yesterday.

I like those. I am about to bin a pair of gym trainers that have holes in but I already have a replacement pair for those in stock.

I had this jumper in my M&S basket anyway, but it went in their sale this morning so I’ve ordered this and the jacket for £12 each.

Both lovely! Both from M&S?
