Laura
Ashley is probably not one of your go-to's for fashion. Their cluttered rails of dingy, ditsy prints
don't encourage browsing. They do a better job of displaying furniture and home
wares.
The website isn't much better: everything is styled in such a drab way, with tops always worn outside of the trousers or skirts.
It's a shame because you can find some good things if you browse the site at the immediate start of each season. These pieces seem to sell out very quickly.
My all-time
favourite summer outfit came from Laura Ashley, bought about three years ago
and still worn on holiday: a print skirt and green bow blouse. This
winter I bought several pieces back in August when they first appeared on the
website. The trench coat below is great quality and is a classic design that won't date.
I picked
up this tulip shaped Laura Ashley print skirt, below, on eBay and I'm wearing
it with a Peter Pan collared navy top from their autumn collection (I have a
thing for Peter Pan collars).
Finally,
and on the subject of Peter Pan collars, this cream jumper from Laura Ashley
has a pretty lace collar. Furry hat from
M&S.
