I just thought it woule be good to post any on-line bargains we have found so others can take advantage of the great offers out there. So post a link it would help if you could add info about sizes as well. So there's this shirt on Jigsaw for £29 in all sizes up to 18 www.jigsaw-online.com/product/block-stripe-boxy-shirt/J42086_BL106
That coat looks lovely, Petra - I have a very similar green one, from Adini. Have you bought from that site, though? I see they’re based in China and many of those companies have a bad reputation for quality.
I've had a few nice bargains from the Joe Browns sale, though. I have bought a maxi skirt and dress and a beautiful dark red coat with a hood and cape effect on my shoulders. As it is a fitted top and flared bottom it helps minimise my rather too generous hips.
Not bought anything new in the sales, as already have a full wardrobe of half worn clothes, so not worth buying anything else as nowhere to go to wear it.
I can't justify another coat either, although I love janeainsworth's. Such a great colour.
I am living in comfy jumpers and leggings, so can't possibly justify buying clothes just now, unless anyone knows of a good sale on 'loungewear' that would look ok on Zoom?
Have bought some lovely wynciette nightdresses from Pure Night. Never heard of this retailer before but stumbled on them as was having trouble getting my size from others. They give points on purchases too and £5 off initial order. Packaged beautifully and free delivery. Very pleased with quality.
Marydoll & Doodledog Re how many coats is enough. I had a lightbulb moment many years ago now, when a fashion columnist in the Telegraph wrote something along the lines of, a coat or jacket shouldn’t be thought of as just something to cover up your outfit with, but as part of the outfit itself.
I took this advice to heart & it’s my justification for my, er, coat collection.
I think my favourite is a black velvet one from Boden which is probably 25 years old. It rarely sees the light of day now, but I still love it ?
jainainsworth I cannot bring myself to reveal how many coats I have. ? We are simpatico.
Every colour, every length, lightweight, heavyweight, inbetween weight, evening coats, fur coats etc, etc! ? I too have a black, Boden velvet coat from many moons ago.
I too have lots of coats. When I was working I needed them for rainy days, warm days, warm days that looked like rain, cold days, cold rainy days. I needed coats to wear over dresses to look smart, over trousers to look casual, over trousers to look smart, and so on.
I now need somewhere to put them all, and haven't left the house since March, so I can safely say I've got enough
Thanks for this post - just ordered some lovely bright coloured leather gloves from John Lewis sale £6 - £9.50 depending on colour, bought one pair as a gift and another for me!
