Am I as invisible here as in real life? Grin

Clutching pearls 😂, but willing too overlook for the greater good of the poor ignored.
JohnMcCain, what are you looking for clothes wise? we could have our little S&B thread if you like.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2018 17:18

Itchy AND chafey, Kirta.

Is not nice . . .

kirta · 30/07/2018 17:23

Chitchy?

HonkyWonkWoman · 30/07/2018 19:02

Oh! Clothes! I have a question??????
I am invited to the Evening Doo of a quite relaxed 2nd marriage (for both).
I need to be cool but don't want to wear a dress particularly.
What do you think of, really nice quality white crop trousers, with a pale blue, floaty tunic top, worn with strappy heels?
Will that be ok, do you think?
The top and crops arrived today and I really like them so would keep them anyway.

For a summer wedding evening do that sounds perfect.

dontcallmelen · 30/07/2018 19:34

Yy sounds perfect, maybe some pretty earrings too finish off the outfit.

HonkyWonkWoman · 30/07/2018 19:37

Oh thanks Donkey!

I haven't been to a Mid Summer Wedding for a long time, so I wasn't sure!
I can dress it up with chunky, silver jewelry!
Can't wait to boogie!

HonkyWonkWoman · 30/07/2018 19:39

Thanks dontcall!
Do you think we're leading the thread firmly away from chitchy LP's?

dontcallmelen · 30/07/2018 19:54

Haha we can hope😂

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 30/07/2018 19:56

I thought chitchy was inspired, (for the record, let it be known, no, not something I suffer from).

dontcallmelen · 30/07/2018 20:05

It was inspired I agree, but any talk of itching makes me want to scratch & scratch.

kirta · 30/07/2018 20:48

honky outfit sounds lovely! Perfect for the wedding you describe. And if it's a hot day, it sounds like you won't be plagued with any chitchyness

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 30/07/2018 20:53

YES, Schaden!

Have resorted to adopting a most inelegant position at night in order to (ahem) ‘air’ said lady parts. And Sudocrem has entered the imaginarycat household after many a long year.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 30/07/2018 20:56

Helloooo....anybody there?

brizzledrizzle · 31/07/2018 07:18

The outfit sounds lovely.

Sounds nice and cool, smart but noy overdressed. In terms of coolness check the lables - viscose, rayon etc are significantly cooler than polyester. Some modern microfibres come close but have an annoying tendency to cling.

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 31/07/2018 07:28

ALso my name

Senator John McCain was the Republican nomination in 2008. After Obama got elected another Republican was observed to shout "You lie!" during his inauguration speech. John McCain gave him that stare.

That and the fact that Trump has mocked him for being a POW in Vietnam when of course Trump knows ALL about combat ...

HonkyWonkWoman · 31/07/2018 08:48

Thanks John Just looked at labels!
The floaty top is 65% viscose 35%polyester but feels just like crinkle cotton.
The crops are 74% viscose 23% polyamide and 3%elastane and feel like very smooth cotton.
So enough viscose to be cool, I hope!
I feel the heat, so polyester is a killer for me, red lobster face is not a good look.
Very interesting about the "death stare"! I'm quite good at those myself if someone ruffles my feathers.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 31/07/2018 09:16

Last wedding I went to I wore a dress from Hobbs, 100% polyester - felt comfortable and looked smart. Luckily no S&B bouncer at the door saying, Only silk, cashmere, fine wool, linen or cotton permitted.

gottastopeatingchocolate · 31/07/2018 09:35

oooh - wasn't on yesterday... thanks for the snog, SadieHH - first I have had in a long time!!

Honky - the outfit sounds lush!

dontcallmelen · 31/07/2018 10:57

Polyester is the work of the devil, when you are ahem a woman of a certain age I never go anywhere without my trusty cool spray😳

HonkyWonkWoman · 31/07/2018 15:39

Ooooo! What's a "trusty cool spray"? dontcall
Is it one of those aerosols that cool you down? Don't they leave your face all wet?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 31/07/2018 15:40

Chichy

Grin

Inspired!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 31/07/2018 15:41

You know what you need, Honkywonk?

CRIMPELENE!

Now that was a material . . .

dontcallmelen · 31/07/2018 15:57

@HonkyWonkWoman it’s does leave a wet face, but I figure I’m already dripping so bit more doesn’t really matter, I have them dotted all over the house & about my person🤭Omg crimpelene now that was a sweat fest.
