Shopping from the Just for Jane spot at Oxfam

Jane

New to me, from the special 'Jane' corner of the online Oxfam shop, are these little potential additions:

lovely cotton shirt, Paul Costelloe, which I really like and will keep.

bowling style bag, which is lovely, but I have reservations, because how many bags does a girl actually need!? good colour, great size for home and work, but I am slightly unsure about it

striped jumper, Prada, that may be returned, I have just ironed it so there are a couple water marks on - they aren't stains ;).

DH likes the bag and the jumper, which always influences me!

All comments welcome, thank you for looking. I am tired (glued to the news) hence the keeping it real rather dark circles below my eyes. Love to all.

Oooh, I like everything. Great finds. Practical colour and size for the bag, and the stud detail adds interest. I like the colours of the striped top, will be very versatile.

I agree with you about the PC shirt! How many bags do you need indeed? A nice one in that size & shape can be hard to find.

You are very good at mixing styles in a way that results in an outfit that's not trendy but very of the moment. In your berry post photo the unusual bag lightened what might have been an otherwise very lovely but quite conservative outfit so I think you should keep the bag.

Both tops are very pretty and highly wearable looking.

Jane, your special Oxfam corner is bountiful! I like it all too! I can see everything work seamlessly with what you have. FABULOUS scores!

I stick to no more than 25 bags at once. I need them my way and for my style. Everybody has their thing, and bags are mine! It's a collection of a lifetime that I have built from scratch over 28 years. I have more bags than pairs of shoes, and they last much longer too. On that note, your bags are VERY much part of your style - you commute on foot so they are always visible and practical. Keep the bag!

I like every item here! The bag is interesting and fun and could change the look of an outfit. I have a similar striped sweater in greys that is super useful to me -- it pattern mixes easily.

I like it all and hope that you are feeling better. It is such a stressful time and very hard to make any plans.

Love both tops on you. Love doctor style bags but it is a question of whether you love it or not. Also will it rub off on you when you hold it.

Thank you Angie. I am going to keep them all.

I am grateful for knowing your bag count! I need to do a bag count. I should think it will be in that region. Variety is key for me. I change bags and coats most days, and I really appreciate you saying that an outerwear capsule is important in the uk.

Ah, well Porridge is a very relaxed kind of dog and wants everyone to love life as much as she does.

Thank you Suz, your comment on the top helps me to settle on the decision to keep it. It will be useful and really nice to have.

Joy, it is a very stressful time for everyone. My goodness, my heart goes out to so many different nations for all sorts of different reasons. Yes, I am feeling better, thank you. The bright weather here has helped.

Shevia, it is a good point about it rubbing off. Thank you for thinking of that. I think it is bound too. I am okay committing to it even so though. It kind of comes with the territory with this type of leather. But as it is very good value I feel that it is liveable with.

YLF is such a good distraction from the turmoil we are all in. First & foremost - that bag is just sublime for your colouring and wardrobe - so I don't think even if you currently have a bag in this colour, it is too much.

Such great purchases. I personally love the new blouse best of the other items, a beautiful colour and fit. You have such a good eye and I think it is good to listen to DH's feedback too. I know that when mine particularly notices something, it always makes me feel fab wearing it.

I love the blue top on you. And of course the bird scarf. The bag looks like a great size. If you love it, well of course you need it!

More love for the bag,It’s so unusual and just the right colour palette for you and ofcourse it’s from a charity shop which means any purchases are guilt free!
