What's in your wardrobe?

[Margo]

I’m 5ft 7 and it’s a really good length on me (not showing too much of mtn transparent legs!)

[Lily]

Margo, this is a personal question, so forgive me, but what happens when you wear trousers?

Apricot has had a sale and I had my eye on these two so I snapped them up. I'm so pleased - they are excellent quality and fit really well. FINALLY some summer dresses suitable for work and being smartish. They are the perfect length.

I love the bottom one!

No vpl?

Not entirely sure how else to answer really, there’s no, err, mess (eew, sorry!) if that’s what you mean?!

[Lily]

Well a) isn't it uncomfortable and b) I would imagine you can't wear a pair more than once. Anyway, moving swiftly on...

Cerise, that came in 3 colours and I got another beige stripe one a few months ago. It is just PERFECT and I really hope they bring it back next year. I had no idea they did so many good clothes.

[Cerise]

I bought a couple of cheap summer dresses from then at the start of the season and have accidentally bought a couple more (including the striped dress) just now.

[Lily]

Nice work!

Went shopping with my mum, which is always a bad idea because we convince each other to buy more stuff than we would do alone. I bought myself this dress with the budgies on it and my mum bought me the black dress as a belated birthday present.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I had to zoom in to see the budgies. I love the print!

I just bought this dress in an independent boutique in Belper. I thought I ought to patronise the whole town, not just the bookshop.

Nice, Pip. Transitional ;)

[Epponnee Rae]

That’s a good autumn dress, Pip.

[Pippedydeadeye]

It’s a lovely heavy, hangy jersey. No pockets, but I did get 10% off because the top buttonhole needed a stitch in it, which I’ve just done.

The shop also sells One Hundred Stars kimonos & their other stuff. Did we know they’re doing shirts & dresses now? I got quite invested in the lady using the changing room ahead of me to buy one.

[Dutchie]

Love that dress Pip! In my mind I'm already pairing it with different types of footwear, cardis and tights! I've got autumn on my mind...

[Estrella]

I bought these for super cheap in Costco

[Luna]

V nice, Est.

[Lily]

I got these Baukjen trousers on eBay. Their elasticated waist trews are the few which actually fit me. I love them but what should I wear with them please?

[Ella]

They’re nice, but are they definitely not pyjamas?

[Estrella]

That comment has reminded me of the mum at my kids’ old school that used to wear a top to pick up that was definitely pyjamas (as I had the same set)

[Lily]

Apparently they are "pyjama style".

Will I look like I'm wearing pyjamas? It is so hard to know what is fashionable/trendy/a good look and what is rubbish (if you're me).

[emma_p]

Is the stripe olive green? Maybe a fitted olive t shirt and a necklace or statement earrings?
