July is almost over, and thank goodness for that - it's been a pretty dreary one.

With COVID and the flu returning and the bleak weather outside, there's nothing quite like some online shopping to lift the mood. (Don't the words "your package will arrive today" just make you smile?)

While you're here, have you listen to this week's epsiode of Mamamia's fashion podcast, What Are You Wearing?

In July, theMamamiateam have been busy stocking up on wardrobe staples, shoes and flowy dresses - because spring is just over a month away, and that's good enough for us.

Here's everything we bought this month, and why we rate it.

Gymshark Vital Seamless 2.0 Long Sleeve Crop Top, $55.

"I'm obsessed with finger holes this winter (weird statement but bear with me). Various labels have added the feature to their long sleeve tops - where the arms come with a thumb hole to keep your hands warm. I've been living in this Gymshark one (which also comes in normal length). The slight bit of extra material makes such a difference." - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

"I told myself I wouldn't buy a new pair of Dr Martens because of the price, but after thinking about cost per wear I gave in. This cool pair - with textured leather and a slight platform - arrived last week and I now know I made the right decision. Obsessed (and 30 per cent off right now.) - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

https://www.theiconic.com.au/jadon-iii-pisa-leather-women-s-1112602.html Target Preview Peak Lapel Blazer, $59, and Preview Wide Leg Trousers, $49.

"Would you believe me if I told you this suit is from Target? Target! I've been looking for a laid-back suit I can wear to work and then out to dinner, and this hits the brief on a budget. Love." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle and host ofWhat Are You Wearing?.

"I’ve been on the hunt for a cute everyday necklace for ages and finally stumbled upon this one. I love how dainty the pearls are, I can wear it with something casual or dress it up. It’s also a great one to layer with other necklaces." - Brielle Burns, News Writer.

https://www.theiconic.com.au/mini-pearl-necklace-1584684.html Eloquii Satin Maxi Dress, $201.49.

"My go-to look for all the winter weddings, parties and movie premieres I’ve been going to is long silk/satin dresses with a coat or blazer. This dress is from Eloquii, which is a US size inclusive label that goes from a size 14 to a size 28 (just be aware shipping to Australia is $40 so I usually wait and buy a few pieces all in one go, plus they have regular and very generous sales). They have these satin formal dresses in a range of different colours and styles. The coat is from the Forever New Curve range." - Laura Brodnik, Head of Entertainment.

17 Sundays Cable Sleeve Knit, $139.95.

"I also bought this new cable sleeve knit from 17 Sundays in two different colours because it’s such good quality, so comfortable and cosy, and the perfect length to wear over pants (especially if you’re tall). Very size-inclusive, sizes start at 12-14 and go to a 26." - Laura Brodnik, Head of Entertainment.

"I have also been living in this cozy aviator jacket from River Island via ASOS, it comes in sizes 18-28." - Laura Brodnik, Head of Entertainment.

https://www.theiconic.com.au/melody-midi-dress-1607081.html

"Savel have the nicest dresses. They're really good quality, and I find that you can easily dress them up or down. I bought this one in The Iconic's Frenzy Sale (it's on right now) and I can't wait for warmer weather so I can wear it." - Jess Kingston, Managing Editor.

Rollas Dusters Jeans, $80 (while on sale).

"Rolla's are my go-to brand for jeans, so I had to grab these in black when they went on sale. They hold their shape really well and the cut is super flattering." - Jess Kingston, Managing Editor.

https://www.theiconic.com.au/dusters-jeans-958379.html Dazie Kylie Heels, $69.99.

"Mules are my favourite way to make an outfit feel a little more dressed up, while still being comfortable. I grabbed these in 'bone', and I'm tempted to grab a black pair too." - Jess Kingston, Managing Editor.

https://www.theiconic.com.au/kylie-heels-1279605.html Sovere Covet Smock Dress, $71 (while on sale).

"My shopping fave this month! A dress from The Iconic sale." - Katie Stow, Evening Editor

https://www.theiconic.com.au/covet-smock-dress-1524480.html Gimme Iggy Baugette Earrings, $20.

"I also just got these earrings from the Gimme closing sale - clearly going through my pastel phase." - Katie Stow, Evening Editor.
