Where does this come from please?
 
^ That's lovely, and very you.
I got a nice ASOS black dress on Ebay with a lace yoke, that I'd missed out on in the sale last year - photos are shit so you'll have to use your imagination.

They also have a load of rough rinse LVC. Not that either of us need any more jeans...

I wouldn’t buy an LVC ’47 style because they deliberately slimmed down the legs of the ’47s to appeal to those consumers who wanted a modern fit.

Japanese Evisu from the 90s and Sugar Cane do the best ’47 cuts, typically wider in the leg with a loose anti-fit top box and a higher rise.

Original Levi’s 1944s were the narrowest cut due to cotton rationing but after the war the leg width increased. LVC in the US and Europe seemed reluctant to accurately replicate the original although Levi’s Japan nailed it, as you’d expect.
 
The footwear gods smiled on me today: I picked up two pairs of shoes that have been at the cobblers, and found some black leather allstars (£2!) on the bootmarket. :)

Also found a beige corduroy Harrington.
 
Just bought online in Tesco sales. I hate buying from Tesco but this was all half price!!

Doh :facepalm:
It's my first online order with them. I don't tend to order clothes/shoes online but I liked these and had a 20% discount voucher.
Oh well, you live and learn!

I probably could have had them sent to a store to collect the next day couldn't I? There are 3 stores which are easy for me to get to :rolleyes::facepalm:

order another one from the store and collect them tomorrow, then send back the original ones when they arrive? I did similar with a pair of trousers from Long Tall Sally a while back that I needed for my sister's wedding!
 
Help me.

After our expensive holiday, and in anticipation of winterval, I have been trying to buy a little less by way of clothes. I did have a mini splurge last week to celebrate a weightloss marker - but otherwise pretty good.

Problem is, I need a coat. It's getting fucking freezing and although I have three fabulously stylish coats and a warm jacket, the largest of them is still about two sizes too small. I have a black trenchcoat but that is long enough to come almost to my ankles (bought online) and anyway, not v. warm. I have a cheapy leather jacket for weekends, but for work I've been making do with a winter-weight suit jacket. It's not tenable.

Anyway, a coat will have to be bought. I have given myself permission for that.

But then today, Collectif launched this:

Hazel%20Coat%20black.jpg


Which instictively I love... but it's £175! I mean it's the most flattering length and the waist/full sirt thing is exactly right, and I really love the colour of that fur trim. All my other fabulous coats are collectif... but still, £175... and also, in full rationality, is it not a bit 16-year-old-loli-goth? It has bows on the pockets and another on the back of the waist... and I'm forty and a size 22. I won't look like ^^^ that.

I don't know - advise me.
