Gosh these monthly confessions sure creep up quickly don't they?!! Obviously I haven't not been able to make a purchase or two.....well I wouldn't be me would I if I didn't try & at least keep the British economy going not to mention Zara's profits!!! Plus with new season items hitting the shops at alarming rates it's hard not to get carried away isn't it?!
So what did I buy this month? Well mainly tops, starting with this simple but very sexy one, which has a lovely deep 'V' neckline (but not deep enough to have to worry about my bra showing - or anything else for that matter!!) & I just love the ruffled cap sleeves. Such a great top for wearing under a jacket or two not to mention simply teaming with some jeans & my Office shoes.
With a 10% voucher burning a hole in my pocket I just couldn't resist these long line shirts from H&M. Perfect for wearing over my faux leather leggings not to mention great as a beach cover up too! Plus the fact that I've already worn both several times already shows they're going to be great wardrobe staples.
H&M Long Shirt £14.99
Oh & of course I couldn't resist this wardrobe classic ;-0
This next top is a little shorter than I normally wear but as soon as I saw this stunning blouse on Laura over at Wearing It Today I thought it would be perfect for dressing up with a pair of jeans & teaming with heels & a fabulous clutch for an easy night out look.
And finally something that is so not me but I just know it's going to prove useful on those days where you feel like you've got nothing to wear! Plus of course it's a nod to the 70s trend that is HUGE for SS15. Last summer I bought a similar camisole styled top & got so many compliments on it that I simply couldn't resist this long sleeved version.
Finishing as always with my outfit for today. A simple Zara shirt dress that I bought last year & have simply removed the belt for a more casual vibe. It's the most stunning shade of navy which I love teaming with a few gold pieces of jewellery.

So come on ladies time to fess up to your purchases & help me feel that teeny little bit better that I'm not the only one going wild in the aisles!!!
See you tomorrow.
I want one of each of your new purchases Jane! Some fab new additions to your wardrobe! I am hoping to snag the little Topshop blouse today amongst a few other bits from there! ;0) Have given myself enough time to have a good old mooch today so I will be checking out some of your other purchases too! xx
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you get Michelle.

Great haul - I tried the Zara printed top as I loved it on the hanger but it did not love my big boobs - I looked pregnant! I'm sticking with nipped in jackets - much more flattering on my frame! x
ReplyDeleteThat is the trouble with this kind of top isn't it Joanna but the beauty is I can eat like I am & hide it ;-)

I had my eye on that Zara top so I might try it on Jane! I think I need to write a list at this stage, I keep seeing so much stuff on blogs!!

That's the trouble at the moment Anne, there's far too much lovely temptation out there.

Great purchases, Jane. I love your dress today too! I'm having a very sensible March after overdoing it in January and February! Lynne xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynne thought I'd wear a few more skirts/dresses for a change.
DeleteGood luck with not spending too much this month!
Jane xx
I love that Topshop top - so so lovely. I seem to have a few cream/white tops though so when I saw it in store I walked away trying to be good! Can't wait to see it on. Love you denim dress too x
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Natalie, it's a little shorter in the body than I'd ideally have liked but it was too pretty to leave plus I can always layer over a cami ;-)

Well I don't think you did too badly there Jane, it could have been a lot worse! I tried the Zara patterned top and the Topshop blouse, but they were both too short for me :-( Lovely things, can't wait to see how you style them x
ReplyDeleteLol Becky yes it could have been a LOT worse as there's far too much temptation flooding in at the moment - goodness knows how I'll far this month ;-0

ReplyDeleteLol Lotty I might try that next time ;-)
