MOAMU - we're nearly there! What shall we wear?

[SheWhoMustNotBeFlamed]

Hi there ladies!

Ooh, lovely ABO, I saw the Milly on MW a while back and thought it looked good, but it looks great on you!

I am sooo tired, minimal sleep last night with ds2, and he's been hard work today as well. Poor ds1 hasn't had much attention. Putting them to bed now, then I plan to follow them asap.

YY Tibi fab on you, really suits your figure.

bloss I was having visions of you going into a Chanel store and explaining to a snooty assistant that you used GHD's on it!

Abo thanks I can see your profile again..I am going to have a bash at the caterpillar cake for dd2's 1st birthday..your great version has inspired me.

I have to say I'm not completely sold on the Tibi..I love the colour on you,I love draping but that particular style is just a little too toga for me and frankly with your figure I think full on bodycon is the way to go but I'm sure wiser A and Wers will give you more solid advice.

Such a slow typist..obviously only me with Grecian (dress)issues but love the Milly and irresistable Choos ABO

Ooh I love my stair carpet exhausted Think MrsCB is a Brintons fan too...

Thanks for the comments; can the Milly can be made sufficiently evening do you ladies think? Red shoes?

AP sorry Ds not his usual self.

abo I'd love to see your photos if possible

apuski sounds like a hot bath is in order!

fritzi am inspired by your lovely lipsy fake fur jacket and considering an investment as have wedding to go to in N England in a fortnight and I want to be warm!

off to peel potatoes for dinner, DH cooking which is a mixed blessing given the amount of washing up/tidying there will be afterwards

reine I'm as much in love with Zembo's clutch handbag as you are with choo's raspberry trench .

abo The colour of the Tibi is gorgeous and the dress more suitable for evening than the Milly. However, I am a bit worried how that drapey bit might look from the side. If you are happy with it then go for the Tibi and add fab shoes!

I am still obsessing about the Houlis. After all the positive comments I have started to appreciate my legs a bit more than before. I am deliberating about the colour: marine or faded navy. Exhausted you decided on sharkskin in the end, right? What is the colour you are wearing on your profile?

apuski Hope you get a good night's sleep!

Fritzi - I think I prefere the faded navy.

ABO - those shoes you are wearing look fab!

emo I got the fake fur from Asos a while ago but cannot find it on the website anymore. Other styles here. What kind of dress are you wearing?

Kildare and ollie I think the ladies at Trilogy would say that lady here needs at least three sizes smaller in those cargos

Sorry, WIT lady in cargos here

fritzi think I will wear my raspberry dress as seen on my photo! Had a quick hunt on Lipsy's own website and alas it isn't there either. Will hunt through the ASOS ones -there's one in the sale which is a possibility but doesn't look as special as yours did!

tried some houlis on once, they didn't look bad but I just could not bring myself to pay up for them. I can see what people mean about the pockets on them though - somehow they are so much more flattering than other skinny cargos I have tried. Would like some new jeans but the only ones I find which suit are indigo dye and I refuse to buy another pair of indigo jeans as my GAP ones are giving me enough trouble with dye transfer.

good news cooks - it's jacket potatoes and not potatoes to peel with dinner this eve!

ABO - Love both of those dresses on you - tibi much better for evening IMO. You have a beautiful house as well!

Fritzi - you definitely have wonderful legs for the houlis. I like the faded navy. Can you try the site carciofi linked to a while ago?

Emo good news about the potatoes, hope you find a jacket. Fritzi looked like a film star in in hers

Apuski Sorry that DS is still unwell. Hope he has a restful night. My DD is still not right either - a succession of revolting explosive nappies all day - lovely

is it wise to wear white false fur coat to a wedding? I wouldn't wear white to a wedding but over a bright dress? I guess it isn't otherwise I wouldn't think to ask however ASOS have a lipsy one in the sale which fits the bill.

emo you should be able to see now.

I have decided that houlis are to be admired from afar. I love them on others, and want to love them on me, but in reality they make me look short and dumpy. I would like to find some skinny cargos with flat stitching detail - so that the thigh area is broken up visually but no bulk is added. Asos did a pair last year (vin was it you who had them too?) and they looked fab although were crap quality and went baggy really quickly.

notyumm the choos were fab, but I couldn't walk in them, let alone dance! Would it be wrong, for my party, to have a ludicrous pair for meet and greet/dinner, and then a comfy pair to chage into for dancing?!

I know what you mean about the Tibi fritzi. From behind is definitely its best angle!

reine the caterpillar cake was so easy you should definitely have do it!

mrsjuan That is very kind, thanks! Credits for fake fur go to LTEC because she found it for me . Sorry you had to deal with explosive nappies today. Hope things will calm down tomorrow.

I really should go to bed or get things organized to go to early morning yoga class tomorrow morning. Instead I'm lounging on sofa with chocolates and have sent DH to pour some . Oh dear...

ABO I can only see one dress but it looks great! (circle belt thing).

Spent all day yesterday preparing for interview with fuzzy head. Up very early. Was great to do it, but after all that not sure is right for me.

abo Super high heels plus flats are definitely better than boring midi-heels I think.

It was lovely to meet so many of you the other night!
Everyone looked lovely and was friendly and interesting to talk to. There wasn't enough time to catch up with quite a few of you properly- perhaps next time! :)

zembo- thanks a lot for the compliment. I think it was the dress not me! Did your husband like Bristol? Hope he has a bit more luck this time. I met up with a couple of friends whilst in London and it is really tough at the moment.
By the way, you don't look more than 30 and that applied to several other ladies!

fleecy-It was a Ted Baker dress that I was wearing. I had linked to it before and it had a kind of mixed reception. Here it is: dress
I loved your red dress too- was it a VWA or am I confused?

So sorry that verity and roary couldn't make it at the last minute.
Hope DS2 has a better night, apuski.
ollie- hope you are fully recovered after your dodgy drink!

ABO- I think the Tibi fits you perfectly. I love the dark green on you. I kind of agree with reine on the draping at the front but that it totally a matter of personal taste. The Milly is lovely too but probably doesn't show off your figure as much.

fritzi- I prefer the marine colour houlis. You are so slender- I bet they look great on you! I was hoping to try on the Uniqlo skinny cargos but didn't get round to it in the end!
I found the whole Oxford Street on a Saturday thing far too stressful. On the Sunday, I was around Sloane Square and it was lovely by comparison. I'm sure that's not much of a revelation to all you London ladies but I haven't been shopping in town for goodness knows how long!

ABO love the tibi. I think you while look for gold or sliver high heals to go with. And definately high not kitten. LK Bennet? Will have a look.

Oh and I mentioned a poss west field meet for those in London? Could anyone do next Friday morning?

looby Thanks, DH voted for marine too. Will collect some more opinions. That dress was absolutely va-va-voom on you and I honestly think suited you better than the model on the Asos website.

Thinking of something like these ABO
