New clothes - try this

When it comes to clothes, I am a professional and so I always purchase jackets and trousers in solid neutrals that pair with lovely silk / silky shirting / blouses or turtlenecks and loads of scarves to pair with colors that pick up the suits.

At the weekends, I am a jeans woman and adore denim and leather jackets and of course great wool coats and fab sweaters depending on the weather.

Here in the early am - it is approx 11 centig and mid day 20 centig.

So, I peel off layers before I leave the studio and place in a bag neatly in my big bag.

My favourite shop is Zata .. Smart and decent prices and always an excellent fit for me .. No alterations.

I do have a dark red top which could go underneath.
Never thought of red, pascal30, thanks. 🙂
With black trousers.

ZARA - NOT Zata .. Typing error.

I buy mostly white, black, navy, grey clothing - and a small amount of pink, pale blue, aqua, burgundy. Lots of scarves and coloured shoes.

Great idea, I'll think in future - 3 ways to use each purchase.

I'm not buying clothes on line anymore. If I can't try before I buy, then I'm not going to. The last three items I bought, 2 jumpers, 1 blouse, were a disappointing colour. Should have sent them back but I struggle a bit doing that. Stuck in my wardrobe now and will no doubt end up in charity shop.

Returning should not be a struggle.

Both EVRI and RoyalMail will pick up from your doorstep(the latter at no additional charge)

I don't often buy new but, if I am trying something on, my rule is does this look better than the clothes I came in wearing? It's surprising how often the answer is "No!"

I bought a mohair gilet last week, and when I tried it on at home I realised I could wear it with the buttons at the front or down the back. That's 2 ways. Maybe I'll try it over my bottom as a skirt next!

You'd be right on trend 😂😂😂
The shorter the better!

I have a lovely soft purple/dark lilac cardigan in the wardrobe, never worn it because it goes with nothing I have, bought because I liked it.

Wont it look good with a black tee under it and jeans? Same colour earrings?

Yes, another idea, thank you.

Ps Amethyst earrings would be just right.
I'll put them on my Christmas list.
