Femme Luxe Finery sell a big selection of cheap loungewear and bodycon dresses, tops, jeans, shoes, accessories and more online. You can see my previous selections here.
Many of the outfits they sell cost a budget friendly £20 and under, and although many of the clothes on the website are aimed at a younger teenage/early 20s market (with flat stomachs and definitely no c-section overhang!), there are pieces suitable for someone of my age.
I was gifted some new outfits from the Femme Luxe website. This time I thought I’d step outside of the loungewear and bodycon dress categories and see what else I could find. Although it’s July, it’s been the wettest, coldest July in my memory so I’ve gone for more autumnal pieces in readiness for a few months’ time, guessing that I might get a bit of use out of them in the meantime (not that I’m happy about it mind!).
Here are my autumnal clothing picks from Femme Luxe Finery this month:
The “Shacket”
A portmanteau of the words ‘Shirt’ and ‘Jacket’, this thin, fleecy-lined cover-up is super comfy with pockets and perfect for a casual look. A casual lumberjack, maybe.
My staple for the summer is my trusty 12-year-old denim jacket, but I just cannot bring myself to do the double denim thing. Leather as an alternative can be a bit hot, particularly on a sunny day, so the Shacket looks like it will be a great alternative to shove in a bag or whip on for the school run if the temperature keeps on changing its mind like it does at the moment.
The Shacket is available in a plaid shirt pattern in loads of different colours. This one is ‘olive’, which is very similar to khaki, and goes well with denim or black.
The Shacket costs £21.99 and is available in XS (6-8), small (8-10), medium (10-12), large (size 12-14) and XL (14-16) although they’re oversize so quite baggy and you could size down if your own size wasn’t available.
The jumper dress
The jumper dress is one of my autumn/winter favourites, and while it’s meant to be the middle of summer, a quick look out of the window tells me it definitely isn’t shorts weather right now.
This cream batwing knitted mini jumper dress is currently on sale so bag a bargain before the autumn rocks around.
It comes in sizes from 6 to 14 and would look great with brightly coloured or black tights, or even over jeggings for warm cosy evenings in or out. I think it looks great with my £2 Primark waist-belt although it is cinched at the waist for a flattering look.
It’s a lovely colour and not too chunky so you shouldn’t overheat! Just don’t spill coffee or red wine down it.
