Okay we may be a few months off but spring wardrobes....??

[Mimi1977]

I know there is still snow on the ground but I'm loving thinking about what I want to buy this season for the warmer weather. Have a few things on my list including:

Red Patent Birkenstocks - live in Birkenstocks in summer

More ballet pumps - like navy patent ones in Boden preview

Maxi dress

Anyone else?

[Mimi1977]

Just read post below about not buying anything this year....Mmmm, not sure I'll manage that and may not be many on here judging by popularity of that thread!

I pretty much need complete summer wardrobe as have been pregnant or bf for the last few summers.

So I am going to plan what I need and buy really carefully - no impulse purchases for me.

So am thinking at the moment a couple of dresses, some sandals and skinny/slim fit white jeans. Couple of tops and a light weight jacket.

I love planning my purchases

[LetThemEatCake]

tracey I have been pg or bf for last 5 years, except for 6 months in 2005 - am exhausted, are you?? no wonder we obsess about clothes - escapism!!

I have everything for this s/s already except for new jeans, Phew! but will enjoy shopping vicariously through you

[LetThemEatCake]

I should say, pg and/or bf ... at times it overlapped

[Bonsoir]

I want really nice sandals that aren't Birkenstocks but are just as comfortable!

And white jeans (love white jeans).

I need to think about tops too. I like nice structured summer tops - am far, far too old for anything thin and/or droopy and/or skin tight...

[SerenityNowAKABleh]

I think I will get a tuxedo jacket, and work from that. Sounds odd, but I think it will work (on some level) and I'm also not overly optimistic about the potential temperatures for this summer. Otherwise, I plan on dressing more like a grown up. My great aunt said I looked like a teenager the other day. Not too pleased about that (I'm nearly, gasp, 30 for goodness' sakes).

[MarshaBrady]

I need shoes absolutely, nice ones. I have no jeans, but not sure if I need any really.

Have a hefty credit note to use, so no new spending... really.

[LetThemEatCake]

oh i'd love some skinny white jeans, to wear with this top, which I already own. I fear my arse shape would not permit it though ....

[traceybath]

Ooh glad to see other white jeans lovers .

Bonsoir - did you buy any of the marni dresses/tops you linked to ages ago? I too need/want structure in tops.

LTEC - thats such a pretty top.

I'm also contemplating a serious hair cut. Hair is mid-blonde long with swept across fringe and I just think it drags me down so thinking of going quite a lot shorter and more styled if that makes sense.

So all new me for the spring - and of course I will lose those final 6 pounds.

[LetThemEatCake]

I bought these for the spring too and would love someone to tell me that they are fabulous

[SerenityNowAKABleh]

They are. Very

[HarrogateMum]

I would love some white jeans too but cant blardy find any to fit a tall person (need 36 inch inside leg)...booooooooooo

[traceybath]

They are fab u lous.

Sunglasses and handbags are my weakness. Currently sporting Tom Ford Jennifers but will buy a new pair for spring.

But I wear sunglasses a lot and do look after them so worth the money.

[thislittlesisterlola]

do you think they will do maternity white jeans slim fit at all? Will be rather pg by spring and v. by summer=help please x

[thislittlesisterlola]

by help i mean what is key for spring? I am not v. Savvy you see x

[Bonsoir]

traceybath - yes, I've got quite a lot of Marni in my wardrobe . I love it. Some of the summer tops are really great, as they are structured and manage to be simultaneously very cool and not too revealing!

[traceybath]

Lola - normally are white slim fit maternity jeans in topshop/mamas & papas or the more expensive makes.

I actually wore a pair of next non-maternity ones as they were so stretchy last summer.

When's baby due?

[thedollyridesout]

What is a structured summer top and how can any of you get away with white jeans and kids around?

[Bonsoir]

I had white slim fit jeans the first summer after DD was born! I was so slim from breastfeeding that I just wanted to enjoy the look . They do wash, you know!

[BonjourIvressedeNoel]

wow! you all have £££££££££££

I'm going to buy the cropped trousers from boden and I need a new dress for DS christening but that will bea about it for me.

[MillyMollyMoo]

They should sell a packet of baby wipes with every pair of white jeans parents or not.
Jojomamanbebe do white skinny under the bump jeans.

[bunnymother]

I would love some white straight leg jeans, but still too porky from DD born 6 months' ago so may have to wait till next year. Although am hitting the cross trainer like a loon most mornings... Maybe I get some anyway.

I would also love some gold strappy heels. Nice, pale gold, not nasty coloured gold.

Sounds like TopShop Baxters are good (from prev thread). Should I check them out? Although are they straight or skinny. Think I best stick to straight until less portly. Which means TopShop Marthas?

[bunnymother]

Almost forgot! Would love some pewter ballet flats. Perhaps pale gold ones too.

[carciofi]

That top is beautiful, LTEC.

I love white jeans. I had an Isabella Oliver pair when pregnant. They slipped down and drove me mad though.

I would like a couple of summer dresses and a few nice tops.

[LetThemEatCake]

admiration for my top is making me hanker after white jeans even more ... ooh dear I feel a crash diet and a shopping spree coming on.

carciofi, what style of dress do you like?
