There were no "outstanding" purchases in February, it was more about restocking basics.

1- Tops
A white shirt (Zara). I hesitated to get this one as I found it expensive for a high street buy but after searching an equivalent to no avail, I finally bought it a few days ago. It's made in soft viscose, not (too) transparent and has a flattering cut.(03/12 update: Returned. I was too dubious regarding the quality of this item)
- 2 marinières (stripped tees) at Uniqlo: red on white/
white on navy.(03/12 update: Returned, too much stripes kill the stripes...)
- natural loose knit (Isabel Marant Etoile) : a basic for everyday.
2 - Bottoms
- Dark grey slim cargo (Uniqlo) for casual days.
- Black ankle trousers from Zara, nicely cut for everyday.
- H&M chinos, a real bargain at 10 euros and a perfect slightly loose cut.
3- Accessories
- H&M white canvas/black leather tote. It's always a surprise to see in real life an item you wanted based solely on pics. With H&M it's often not a good one (I still remember this Winter long awaited and awfully made shearling jacket) but this one didn't disappoint.
So I was able to instil a little novelty in my work wardrobe and cross items from my days-off list:
- a slim denim or chambray overall to wear underneath my Isabel Marant Bator and later with the Etoile grey jacket.

Lovely purchases! I agree on the tote. It's really nice, even though I did find it a bit expensive for H&M.
RépondreSupprimerGreat purchases. I especially love the Marant loose knit..I'm hunting for one at the moment.x

Once I back in shopping mode, I'll make a note to check out h&m for chinos.
RépondreSupprimerGreat basics, I love the marinières and the Etoile knit.
RépondreSupprimerThanks Jessica! I hesitated for a heartbeat when I saw the price of the H&m tote too but it's a good product and satisfies my desire for a not so basic tote.
RépondreSupprimerThanks Milly! Good luck on that hunt!
Prêt à Porter P: The chinos also comes in red and blue. Colored trousers are all the rage at the moment. I can't really see myself in bright colored bottoms. But then who knows maybe I could be tempted by red trousers.I had a hing for red all Winter so it could be fun to shake up my usual color scheme.
Thanks Garderoben!
oh !!!
RépondreSupprimernow i want a pair of slim cargo pants...;))
wow, those H&M chinos looks really good ... I love a slim but loose and slouchy trouser. Darn! I was just at H&M ... should have paid more attention. All perfect spring items!
RépondreSupprimerOh, I dithered over at Uniqlo over the marinieres, not sure if I could justify another one but the material was nice - seemed like a good item to buy extra for spares. Congrats on the progress on your list!
RépondreSupprimerIf Jane: Mea maxima culpa! ;))
RépondreSupprimerS: yes they are and tend to fly away quickly in Paris. I was eventually tempted to try the red ones that Ida got but can't find them anylonger in my store.
Lin:Thanks!
I got the chinos in a sort of washed red and then in beige... I think I'm gonna bleach the red pair slightly, it could look pretty awesome! And if it fails I could just cut them into shorts lol.
RépondreSupprimerAm looking for that tote too (I've been eyeing it for as long as you) - I promise I'm not stalking you :D
Ida: I'm not sure I'll find the red ones in my size. I was a bit colorphobe especially regarding trousers but I wouldn't mind cheap funky trousers this Spring!
RépondreSupprimerI know you're not stalking me... It's just that great minds think alike! ;))
I bought the tote last week and that was the only store I saw it in, so far in Paris. If you want I could check that store and take it for you.
I need to get my butt out of the study hall and look for that bag! I do think it's available in DK, it should be... But I might just take you up on that offer if I don't find it <3
RépondreSupprimerUnfortunately there aren't any red chinos available right now, I think they're sold out. But keep looking, they do get more stock in!
Ok! Keep me posted on the bag.
RépondreSupprimerI seriously love every item!! Great taste!!!
RépondreSupprimerThanks so much Emmy!
