Back to school runs this week - where on earth has the Summer holidays gone? Christmas is just around the corner now! I looked in my wardrobe and realised there were clothes I haven't had the chance to wear yet and now possibly won't until next Summer. Ok, I may have a large 'ish' wardrobe but still, I don't feel like we've had the heat to wear half of it. With that in mind, I made an effort to wear t-shirts I'd forgotten about with jeans (and a thermal vest!) and braved it, even giving my legs an airing! I admit, I was a little cold but I was adamant I was not going to put on a coat - much to the bewilderment of my Mum and Sister.

In between school runs and a few hours work I managed a quick dash around some shops as is obligatory when my sister comes to town. Now for some reason, I was so controlled. To the point of actually really not wanting to buy a thing - I have been a little bad of late so it was about time. I even turned down a silk (yes silk, you know me and my good fibre composition obsession!) Sandro top heavily reduced to £30. I talked myself out of it as I have a fair few white/cream tops plus it was reduced as marked and a button missing. It didn't deserve my money. I loved this Alice Temperly dress below but it was too long and the sleeves too frilly. Apart from that - gorgeous!
Now on to some dreamy items which were never going to be purchased, but I 'papped' them just to share their beauty on my blog!
 |
| I love a cross body bag, these Gucci's were just as fabulous in the flesh. Reduced to around the £600 mark |
 |
| I didn't think this Givenchy was bad for £162, it was a fair size and I thought the print was a classic so would last you for years |
 |
| Chloe pumps - amazing! Too pricey to remember! |
Anyone else feel they are holding back on the shopping front or is it just me? I am holding out for a Indian Summer so not heavily purchasing for Autumn/Winter yet. I am however making a little shopping list in preparation!
Love the leather skirt on you with the breton. Fab look, Natalie. Lynne xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynne x
DeleteI've given up all hope of an Indian summer and am happy to get on with Autumn now! Love that skirt on you. It was such a great buy
ReplyDeleteCurrently sat in a cashmere cardigan - not sure the legs will be out again without tights now! x
DeleteYou look so good in skirt/dress and boots. I tried this look the other day because you always make it look so good and I just looked daft. Why is that?!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo way - I don't believe it did! I am such a jeans person, I feel so comfy in them I find it hard to wear skirts and dresses unless I give myself the time to think about an outfit. x
DeleteIt's so disappointing isn't it? I've got loads of stuff I haven't had the chance to wear this Summer :-( I am also trying to make the most of those final.opportunities to get the legs out though! Love your leather skirt outfit, it looks great xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, I really should wear it more often. Yes, so disappointing, finishing off putting away my Summer bits today, that's it, it's over in my household!x
DeleteHi! I love that Alice Temperley dress - where did you try that on? Hope all well xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Alex, all good here thank you, hope the same with you. It was in Bicester Village, heavily reduced as well, around £80 from memory, all silk, beautiful. x
DeleteSo prob not there now? X
DeleteYou never know, worth a call if you are coming down this way. It was just over a week ago that I went x
