Want to find out where you can snap up Carol's designer top on the high street?  The Loose Women stylist reveals all

Carol V went into Karen Millen yesterday and she LOVED loads of the pieces, including this khaki military-style dress she’s wearing today. Lace sleeves make it a bit more feminine, and because there’s so much going on with her dress – the silver, the lace – she doesn’t need to wear any jewellery. Her shoes are quite cool too, because they’ve got a silver spiked heel that really matches her dress.

 

Lisa looks lovely in grey, and the soft ruffles of a top like this one from Jaeger are great if you’re petite like her.

 

Carol McGiffin is in her own Rick Owens jacket, her own trousers by J Brand and a Kenneth Cole t-shirt.

 

Denise is in head-to-toe Fizz – which is a little boutique in Cheshire where she gets a lot of her clothes. She’s rocking the red trend which is big for autumn and it suits everybody – you just have to find the right shade.

Today I've managed to get Carol Vorderman into a top and a skirt instead of her usual dresses! This top is by Roksanda Ilincic for Debenhams, and includes her trademark zips and bows on the arms - in a great turquoise colour. Carol's skirt is from Coast and it's a really flattering length - below the knee - which is how a pencil skirt should be.

Sally is in a Monsoon number, which is quite plain but which we've jazzed up with some jewellery.

Carol McGiffin is wearing a dress by Jasper Conran for Debenhams, with slimming horizontal stripes.

Jenny's in an orange top from H&M and a matching scarf from Hobbs.
