This white hooded zip up top with black writing screamed at me from the Zara kids shop window. Buy me! Buy me! I wasn’t going to buy anything else, but I couldn’t stop myself.

I am glad I did, at 12 pounds is a very good buy and it looks great with denims. 70 per cent cotton will get a lot of use out of it in spring and on cool summer evenings too.

When I shop for something specific I find there is always twice as much choice for girls’ clothes and accessories than for boys, so when something jumps at me I tend to go for it.
