What I've Been Buying In January & My OOTD

Yup it's that time of the month again, so what have I been buying?  Well this lovely breton from H&M which is a gorgeous thickness & weight.  Plus the zip detailing on the side makes it a little bit less ordinary.  Also available in black on white if you're interested here, which I may have also purchased!  Plus if you use code 6413 you can currently get 10% off plus free standard delivery!




H and M Top With Zips, Breton


Plus this red one.




Toast Breton Stripe Top



And this off white & red one too!  Again a really great price & for the money the fabric is a great weight & it's also available in several different colours!  I think it's safe to say I'm covered on the breton stripe front for Spring!




Uniqlo women striped boat neck breton top


Now this next shirt from Zara they've done the past two seasons in different colour ways & I just love it.  So naturally I've had to get this khaki version.  Perfect with denim & leopard print as I wore recently for an afternoon/evening out with the girls.




Zara Military Style Shirt


And finally a couple of pairs of trousers.  First off these faux leather biker trousers - I've ummed & ahhed over these for a while but in the end I just couldn't resist & reckon the zips add a bit of interest when teamed with a classic top.




Zara Faux Leather Biker Trousers


And secondly these skinny frayed edge jeans.

Back to today & I'm layering up some black & grey with a statement silk scarf for a splash of colour.

  1. You bought great pieces in January! I LOVE stripes and always have to stop whenever I see anything striped because my instinct is to buy it! Your tops are great! And I love the Zara shirt; I have a similar one and love it! And I have been admiring the faux leather biker trousers, too! But I have faux leather leggings and couldn't really justify them. But whenever I see them they pull on my heart...

    1. Thanks Andrea, I think after this month my stripe addiction is taking over my wardrobe but they're just so useful aren't they?!
      As for the biker trousers I put off buying them as like you I've got leather leggings & some pain faux leather trousers but I have to admit I'm loving the extra detailing on these...you should give them a try #enabler ;-)

  2. Fab pieces, I love that grey cardi/coat, so smart yet relaxed. Love Zara's khaki shirt too, it's currently sat in my basket online. I'v recently bought a Puma sweat from Asos, a blue/white Breton & some boyfriend jeans from Gap. Now I have my eyes on some Metallic footwear for summer!

    1. Heidi I've found the Zara coat so useful & a great alternative to a blazer. You should definitely click on that khaki shirt as the cut/detailing is spot on & have you seen they're now doing the coat in navy at nearly half price?!
      Loving the sound of your new purchases & metallic footwear for summer is a definite must as they go with everything.

  5. Great buys Jane! You'll be well stocked in Bretons for Spring! They're just so useful though. Can I ask is the h&m one you featured white with navy or black stripes? It doesn't say on their website. Thank you : ) x

    1. Thanks Juanita & yes I don't think I'll be needing any more bretons for Spring - although never say never ;-)
      I've just had a look at my breton & would say it's a very dark navy - hope this helps.
