I made it in! The first time in ages I’ve made it when there were still things left. No doggy - I learned last minute Cormac has never been in a stroller. He needs a lot of civilising, lol.

I bought this teal blazer (an Angie pick ). No, I don’t need a blazer, but two years ago I was looking for teal to no avail and this checks my boxes: teal but not casual teal.

I also considered this long jacket. I need a summer coat. I passed tho because I don’t think this will seem as cute in the gritty inner city as it does in the suburbs.

Last but not least, I think I’ve come to understand the love of Barbour. I’ll be stalking the black Constable barncoat with corduroy trim, in size 4 (which I don’t see online…).
