What's in store? And Other Stories

Continuing the What's In Store? series - And Other Stories you're up!  And Other Stories are always worth looking at.  They are a little more expensive than their sister-brand H&M but they have some fabulous pieces which are on trend but classic at the same time - is this making sense?! basically buy a piece this season and it will stay in your wardrobe for a few years to come.  The quality is a few steps up from H&M, hence the price point.  Although they do have great discounts in their sales so keep an eye out for these.

Anyway, let's get on.  I know I was planning on including only ten pieces from each store for this series but And Other Stories were seriously good so there are 13 - lucky for you...

1. Leopard Midi Dress.  

Fab for daytime or evening. Wear with ankle boots, trainers, heels or sandals.  Layer up with a tee under it or a denim/leather jacket over it.

Leopard Print Midi Dress £69

2.  Blue Midi Dress. 

Imagine with tan sandals or white trainers, and a basket bag, strolling through a French market.  Parfait!

Drawstring Waist Midi Dress £89

3. Another midi dress.  

This time in red. Gorgeous.

Midi Tie Neck Dress £89

4. Printed Tee.  

Subtle.  I like.  Wear with jeans and a jacket of your choice.

Lip Print T Shirt £23

5. Striped Turtle neck.  

I have this. Spotted in the sale.  Great layering piece for Spring in the UK.

Striped Jersey Turtleneck was £35 now £24

6. Amour Sweatshirt.  

Love the navy, love the rainbow colours of the slogan. Wear with jeans or a midi skirt or over a dress.

Embroidered Fleece Sweatshirt £49

7. Ruffle Midi Skirt.  

A nod to Ganni at a fraction of the price. Well worth a try.  Pair with trainers or ankle boots.

Sheer Floral Ruffle Midi Skirt £59

8.  Chambray Frill Blouse.  

I really wanted the Isabel Marant frill denim shirt last year but was too late to the party, so this looks like it could be a great substitute.

Chambray Frill Blouse £59

9.  Green Midi Dress.  

Loving green dresses at the moment.  Not sure about the tie waist on this though.  Worth a try.  Fab with white trainers and a denim jacket.

 

Printed Waist Tie Dress £69

10. Maxi Shirt Dress.  
Another day or evening dress.  Wear for either to reduce the cost per wear.

Maxi Shirt Dress £79

11.  Flower Print Midi Dress.  

Half Price.  Pair with a leather jacket and chunky boots to toughen it up.

Flower Bouquet Print Dress was £89 now £44

12. Leather Star Trainers.  

Half Price.  Fun but not in a too obvious way.

Star Lace-up Sneakers were £79 now £39

13. Loafers.  

Every woman should have a pair of these in her shoedrobe.  Pair with some fancy socks (check out Genevieve Sweeney's socks to wear when it's too chilly to go sock-less.

Horsebit Buckle Loafers £79

Phew!  That took a while as of course I had to add a few of these pieces to my basket whilst browsing.  Too many good things to resist.

See you next time,
