Chatting about clothes we probably don't need..

[JackandDiane]

nothing fancy - just normal clothes

all welcome

[Whatthefoxgoingon]

I don't really need a pale leather jacket. But I want one.

[nickdrakeslovechild]

Cant wait till the shops get jumpers in! Am now in need of jumpers.

[PollyPerseid]

I want a black and a navy Boden ruched skirt but they are always out of stock. Plus I don't actually need one.

I am stalking you Johnnie.

[taybert]

Posh people don't clean toilets.

[LaConnerie]

Can handbags be included? I am currently looking for the perfect Tote - got to be not too big but big enough, soft leather but firm enough to be quite rigid, must have separate internal sections and close completely with flap or zip, and must be the perfect shade of chestnut. Not much to ask you would think .

I already have... um.. quite a few gazzillion bags but none of them are quite right. I am the Goldilocks of bag hoarders.

[LittleMissWagtail]

Aaahhhh - we're back!

[taybert]

Have you looked at Yoshi Bags. Nice leather.

[LaConnerie]

Ooh. They do look lovely. Are you supposed to be encouraging ne though? . Please tell me I don't need a bag in the style of a bourbon biscuit - it looks yumcious...

[taybert]

Oh yes, it's a very encouraging thread. I've got this one nameless bag. It's good.

[PixieMiss]

I have just bought this dress from asos. A lot of the things that I buy from there end up going back but we shall see!

[freshprincess]

Since I got the 'recommended by Mn' email I've become obsessed Boden ruched skirt. I hardly ever wear skirts and don't like navy blue much. But I really neeeeed it.
And after another thread, I've got my eye on a few Ted Baker summer dresses for weddings I'm not going to. ASOS are stalking me round the Internet showing me ads for such lovely dresses, enticing me.

I tried on a chambray midi-skirt in Oasis today. It made me look as wide as a house (I'm a size 10, so not massive) but I am obsessing about it with a stripy blue and white t-shirt and my red Saltwaters. (My waist looked tiny, but I think it was too pouffy.)

[Judydreamsofhorses]

Also, it is warm enough for bare legs/sandals about three days a year here.

[KanyesVest]

Oh lordy, I need a new wallet, and those Yoshi ones are calling to me. Straw poll, yellow or orange?

[JackandDiane]

The boden Ruched skirt (I think I was the original finder ( is v good. I have two

[thenightsky]

Yellow. But I'm bias... I hate orange.

[LaConnerie]

Yellow definitely. The orange is too Tango for me.

[princessconsuelabannahammock]

I just lost the most amazing dress on ebay - silk maxi ideal for a wedding i have coming up. I am new to ebay and i didnt put in my top max price that i would have been prepared to pay - difficult lesson to learn- i BLOODY LOVED IT and it was the one. sob sob. Did get a lovely dress for my forthcoming holiday however.

I am desperate to splash out on some new clothes as i am almost a size 14 but i have an extensive wardrobe from when i was last a size 14 and i dont want to add to my mountain of clothes i will (and never do) slim into

[JohnCheese]

Prefer the orange. And it's a far more practical design. Much better. Yellow one isn't as handy. Easy to see in the dark hell hole that is the inside of my bag.

[NatalieRushman]

Just ordered a gorgeous blue, floral Henry Holland dress online. I'm starting to regret it a teensy little bit as I'm worried it'll be too flouncy to wear as a day dress, even though I wear a lot of petty dresses.

[CointreauVersial]

Argh, infuriating, isn't it princess? I decided I really really needed that M&S Beauty Box, which required a spend of £40. I managed to spend more than double that and have ordered the following:

This khaki dress recommended by someone (Remus?) on here. Think it will be perfect for work.

This jumpsuit. Could be lovely, could however make my arse look the size of a small country. I have a 50th birthday doo coming up and this might do the job.

Will probably end up returning both and keeping the Beauty Box, tbh.

[thenightsky]

hahhahah CointreauVersial I just fell for the beauty box hype too and ordered, amongst other stuff, that khaki green dress!

[CointreauVersial]

We will have to have a Style Off.

[Floisme]

Nice dress. Think I'm going to send for this top. It's £40 from my new specs and and Emma Peel coat fund but I can't walk on by when Whistles have a sale. I like that it's autumnal - had enough of summer clothes now;

Love this thread!

This week I have bought 2 pairs of wide leg printed trousers (are they called pazallo pants?) from Matalan which were a bargain at £14 each. They looked much better on me than the more expensive pairs I tried on in Next, M&S and Debenhams.

I also bought some flat silver strappy sandals from M&S. Which are really useful now its raining!

Have ordered a cream coloured floaty shell top and a butterfly print kimono jacket in the Dorothy Perkins 24% off offer over the weekend. Won't be delivered until the end of the week.

Am now spending hours on Pinterest styling them!
