Yup you've guessed it of course there have been a few *coughs* purchases this month, for someone who is very strong willed when I want to be fashion seems to be my weak point!
So let's jump straight in & tear that plaster off quickly. I seem to have fallen for pretty white/off white tops this season, which are perfect for dressing up or down & in my defence something my wardrobe was lacking! This first top I just love the idea of teaming with distressed boyfriend jeans & lots of layered gold chains.
And I just couldn't resist this one from Zara.
Or this one too ;-0
Or this one from Boden, which was made a lot cheaper with a voucher & discount code :-) I think it's safe to say I've got the pretty white top look covered from all angles now with these purchases!
Next up a cheeky purchase in a colour I seem to be coveting this season & having loved the Wallis jogger style khaki trousers I wore for my photoshoot I was gutted when I discovered that they'd sold out of my size. Luckily these Warehouse ones are a great alternative, plus they're also available in black & navy if you're on the lookout for a smart jogger.
Now we all know I love wearing flat shoes & have found my Office pointed black lace ups extremely useful so when I spied these, which are also from Office it was a total no brainer. They really do take a normal everyday outfit up a notch or two.
And with denim being a huge trend this year & seeing as my one & only denim skirt is now too short to be worn outside of the garden & home I decided to invest in this one from Zara. The denim is unbelievably soft & whilst it's called a mini skirt it's the perfect length - not too short but not too long to feel mumsy either.
Of course all the lovely sunshine in April got me thinking of summer holidays & having spotted this next item online I ordered it in both colours on the off chance that the material wouldn't be too thin & they looked as gorgeous in the flesh as they did in the pictures. Luckily they didn't disappoint & are going to be perfect for throwing over my swimwear to go down to the pool when we go away in the summer & the price is very reasonable too!
Of course it wouldn't be a monthly confession without a new jacket purchase would it & this one from Zara just happened to find it's way home with me. I love the colour & style, something a bit different to all the blazers in my wardrobe & reminds me of a cropped mac.
Now I already own this top in black & love it so much that when I saw they now stocked it in red it was a total no brainer....in fact they now stock it in white so what's the betting that I click the button over the next few days on that?! It really is a lovely top & has a great neckline.
Moving swiftly on to what I'm wearing today. After a busy day yesterday I'm keeping it nice & simples for a quiet one at home.

So come on please tell me I'm not the only whose been adding to their summer wardrobes?!! I'm blaming the sunshine oh & the fact I've had a major clear out of the wardrobe.......how about you, what's your reason *excuse*?!!
Right I'm off for some serious & well needed sofa surfing plus I'm looking forward to watching Nashville & Episodes which both re-started this week - two of my favourite programs I've been dying to watch all week - a couple of hours of precious me time before our Sunday ritual of watching a film or two before the madness of a new week.
Have a lovely day & if you've got any shopping to do at Debenhams don't forget there's 10% off if you spend over £40 see here & use code MF26 at checkout.
I love white boho style tops but I have to be very careful of the style due to my shape. I do however, love the New Look kaftan one! The red Zara top is also lovely.
ReplyDeleteGlad to find another Nashville fan, I absolutely love it & think that Connie Britton who plays Rayna is just stunning! X
I'm delighted with the New Look kaftans Sarah & really great buys for the money.
DeleteYup I with you on Connie Britton she's gorgeous isn't she & her hair stunning.....looking forward to the release of the next album already :-)

ReplyDeleteMe too Lynne so useful & of course they go with everything don't they?!
DeleteJane xx
I nearly caved on a couple of boho style tops in Zara yesterday....my resolve is still going strong though ;0) So is the thought I may pick them up a a bit cheaper on my hols Jane when my spending ban will be well and truly broken :0( Love all your purchases! I admit that I picked up the New Look Kaftan in black a while ago for my hols.....it's all packed and ready to go!! xx
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what makes you cave on your imposed spending ban Michelle & the New Look kaftans are fantastic aren't they.
DeleteHave a wonderful holiday.

Love those warehouse joggers, they're a great colour x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, I've already found them really useful & they're so comfy too!

I am loving pretty white tops too this season Jane. I think it's the way it works so well with the rawness of denim. Love the Office pointy toe flats, and such a great colour! I have bought those two Kaftan tops from New Look too!....Great minds think and shop alike obviously?!! Helen xx
ReplyDeleteYup you're right Helen white tops look so pretty against denim don't they.
DeleteGreat minds with the New Look kaftans, they really are stunning aren't & even nicer than I'd dared hoped!
Jane xx
Lol I think you really do have enough pretty white tops now! Not that I have any room to talk... :-) Love that red Zara top, and the one you're wearing in your outfit pic, it's a lovely colour on you Jane! xx
ReplyDeleteYup think it's safe to say I've got all bases covered Becky....until I see another one I love of course ;-)
ReplyDeleteJane xx
