Low Cost Gap Filling

eyeonspain

Since we are all sorting out our wardrobes, the likelihood is we are coming across gaps i.e basics to tie in potential outfits.

Here are some of my gaps so any tips on where to get the best value and quality?Basics such as:

beige mac/trench
white flattering vests
smart denim shorts
white cardigan

We are? Boy I missed the memo!

For a mac/trench I'd look in H&M or littlewoods catalogues as they normally do nice ones. As for white vests, I'd go with primark - you can get little camisoles and nice fitting vests for a couple of pounds.

I'm looking for the white cardi too. Long line fine knit for me with pockets.
DD had one from Topshop, but it cost her £28 and not wonderful quality really.

I'm probably going back to try Per Una for vests. I need a decent cut to maximise my assets at my age!

I got some lovely short denim shorts in New Look

Are they smart?

kindofagilr

Yeah, they come with a nice brown belt with studs on, they were £20 I think

Will have to look when I am in the UK, they should be on sale by then;)(August). How do they size?

kindofagilr

Really well I think, I am a 14 and they fit nice, they are quite low hanging (like hipster-ish)

Try M&S for a classic trench, maybe take a look online??

I love the vests from primark, the £1.50 ones have stretch in them. They wash really well.

I'm on the hunt for a lovely white cardi too, my one from primark is carp quality, will replace this next year tho.

I noticed a gap in my capsule (shock horror) i perhaps need a couple of t-shirts for when it's too cold for vests, and too warm for a cardi.

BUT EYEONSPAIN, i got my hula jeans today, never knew i needed a pair of jeans untill i tried these ones on. My m&s ones are now in the charity bag!!!

Love Sharron
