I posted here about a jumper that I bought from Monki recently, and I have to admit I spent rather more than I had intended to on their website! I picked up a few pieces, not all of which I've kept but I thought I'd show a selection here.
The first item I picked was this Pi blouse (still available in some sizes on the website) for £8. I loved the print of this and I also picked up a t shirt dress in the same print, sadly the fabric of the dress was not as nice as I had hoped so I have returned that. The blouse, however, is a keeper!
I had had my eye on this shirt dress for a little while; it's hard to see the detail on the hanger but you can see it more clearly here. It's now in the sale at £17.50 and it's such a cool dress, I know I'll get loads of wear from this over the summer with ballet pumps or sandals; I just love the styling. It's made from a very luxe crepe fabric and I think it looks so elegant and quirky.
I also picked up this Neah shirt (here) which I had high hopes for at £12, but unfortch the fabric is that horrible cheap-feeling polyester so back it goes. I have photographed it here because I really like the idea of it; I'm oft found in an oversized shirt so I thought this would be a safe bet for my wardrobe but I prefer natural fabrics like cotton or silk, and this polyester blend just didn't cut it.
A couple of other pieces missed the photocall; an incredible denim jumpsuit which I absolutely adored with a crazy £25 price tag (here) which was so cute and vintage looking I almost kept it; I just don't think I'd get enough wear from it to make it a worthwhile investment. I also bought another hat to add to the collection; I've rinsed my tan beret over the winter so I thought a grey version would be a sound purchase at just £3. I think it has now sold out but definitely keep an eye on the website as Monki accessories are notoriously inexpensive!
Lots of my friends hadn't heard of Monki before and I think it's a subsidiary of H&M, I know there are no stores near me but luckily the website is great and ASOS stock it too if you want to avoid the (expensive) postage costs!
