I have an apology to make. !!

3 weeks ago I posted some camo trousers (see the ones on my stories … not these ones in the photos) and you all went crazy for them, and then Emma Ferguson wore them and you went even crazier. I could opt get hold of enough stock l, but managed to get some on order and I was told they would be with me within 10 days, so I put them on a pre-order with the estimated date of the 16th of September. This date has passed and I still do not have my order of the Trousers and I have been told that they will be with me next week. If you are on a pre-order, please let me know if you are happy to wait or if you would like a refund. I can only apologise, but the situation is out of my hands I’m afraid.

In the meantime, I do have these trousers which are similar. They are darker in colour they are still barrel shape they have a flat front and zip closure within an elasticated back on the waist, where the others were just an elasticated waste and they were a pale colour. This style comes in 2 sizes. S/M 8-10 and M/L 12-14. The original ones were S/M fit up to a size 14 and L/XL fit 16-18.

Please check out the stories for a comparison between the two Trousers

THE FOUR HARDEST-WORKING PIECES IN MY WARDROBE 🤍

We all have those days when we stand in front of the wardrobe and think, “I have absolutely nothing to wear.”

That’s where these four pieces come in.

🤍 The classic white shirt
🩵 The pale blue pinstripe shirt
🤍 The classic ribbed vest
🤍 The classic white T-shirt

They might be simple, but they are the foundations of a wardrobe and probably some of the hardest-working pieces you’ll own.

Each one can be worn in so many different ways and with so many things you already have. On those mornings when you just don’t know what to wear, start with one of these.

Throw on your favourite jeans and a white T-shirt, add some knitwear or a blazer, and suddenly your look is done.

Simple, classic and endlessly wearable — sometimes it’s the basics that work the hardest.

It’s important to get these pieces right and all of these items are not only great quality, they wash well and are a brilliant price point.

I will link everything on my stories and add to Sept highlights.

Just spotted wearing our camo trousers. Check out her post.

I was very excited about the return of camo, but it took me a while to find a pair that felt right. I will now be living in this for the foreseeable ✨
