I'm going (online) shopping! What should I buy?

Hi all,
I am going online clothes shopping in the very very near future and I am trying to think what to get. I am starting this thread for help making my shopping list.

I don't have any occasion wear as I always buy for the occasion so as not to go to something wearing clothes I've already worn, so that is a possibility.

I have quite a lot of jeans and t-shirts so don't need them, I might get a few tops and some proper trousers.

Does anybody have any suggestions for what to buy? I don't need links as I have a specific website I would like to shop on, but I would like some suggestions of what to get.

Thanks all.
Take care,
FlyingHandbag. X

What is the part time work you do, FlyingHandbag, when you are able to get back to it? Do you have to wear a uniform?

I work in an office. I wear what I like. X

Goodness, FH is still short of tops and pyjamas.

My pyjamas last me for ages.

I’m so pleased I don’t have to keep buying new ones.

I'm not short at all. I like to have lots of tops so I don't end up wearing the same ones on rotation. I also like to buy pyjamas as I got rid of a lot of pyjamas as I had them for years, so I want to replace them. X

For all you GN’ers who are concerned about FH’s collapsed wall, she says it will be fixed after Lockdown ends.
Well, July 4th will soon be here, when LD is eased so much more, so we can all breathe easy and not worry so much about The Wall.

Phew!

Why are you posting on this thread when all you can do is sneer Lucca?

Witzend Fri 26-Jun-20 19:41:58

Why don’t you do what I do, FlyingHandbag - find something really nice, dither about buying it (I don’t really need it, do I?) go back 2 days later after thinking, No, but I really like it, - and find that it’s sold out!
At least it’s cheap!

Well, speaking for myself, I don't have a lot of choice grin

I need to find my alter ego

It really seems that you have all you want/need so I would suggest making a donation to Charity,perhaps one that sponsors girls living in appalling situations,that could help you and them to have a good life.

I've seen some nice half-price nighties. There was even one in a fabric that looked just like denim.

Lisagran Fri 26-Jun-20 20:42:14

I think people often wear onesies these days instead of pyjamas..........

Any more thoughts or suggestions?

How about a nice pair of winceyette pyjamas, a candlewick dressing gown (at least 2 sizes too big) and some woolly bedsocks?

Some beautiful floaty summer dresses, sun hats and sandals.

Maw I have several thought and suggestions, however GN HQ will only delete them.

Denim doesn't really do floaty, though

A denim sun hat?
Denim sandals?

Callistemon Sat 27-Jun-20 11:20:56

There are some really lovely denim jumpsuits and onesies online.

loopyloo Sat 27-Jun-20 11:25:50

I think a floaty dress with a denim jacket could look really good. Gingham is supposed to be very " this year".

Bellanonna Sat 27-Jun-20 11:27:26

I believe you can get them in faux fur too, Callistemon.

Callistemon Sat 27-Jun-20 11:31:32

I wish I hadn't mentioned it, I've got adverts for onesies popping up all over the page now.
Amazing, they range from very cheap up to hundreds of pounds ?

Not sandals.
FlyingHandbaghas said she falls over a lot and that is why she lives with her parents. Sandals might not be a good idea and also she might trip over a “floaty” dress.

If you’re any good at crafting (as well as story telling) you could make some pompoms to attach to plimsoll laces to make them look more like slippers.

Bellanonna Sat 27-Jun-20 12:23:02

I do hope some of our suggestions have been helpful FH.
Have fun. I’m sure you will. ?

Good idea! I've also seen some lovely gingham trousers. X
