Hello! Back from Scotland. Pretty hairy drive through hail and snow last night. DS angelic thankfully; I think he was worn out from all the swimming DH got him doing. I sat on the side and watched mostly; felt a bit shy in my bikini with the bump! icey, don't be jealous: the gilet will most definitely be a squeeze at the moment but baby due very beginning of Feb so I'm on countdown! Probably being overly optimistic but last time too much weight dropped off almost immediately ( I think it was the shock of life with a newborn!) so this time I'm actually hoping for a bit to remain. People keep saying to me how 'much better' I look at the moment which actually is an insult isn't it?! Like saying that I normally look horrid! Oh well.
Like all your baby names, icey and wan. I'm a bit nervous on 2 counts. Firstly DH insists it's his turn as I got my absolute favourite name for DS (whch he finally agreed to in labour too!). But he has quite an outlandish taste in names... And secondly we were told it was almost definitely a girl this time and I've decorated and stockpiled clothes accordingly (love being organised) but now I keep thinking what if they were wrong?? The nursery is so beautiful with floral and candy stripes from Cath Kidston that I think I'll just tie a bow on him and tell everyone he's a she!!
amber, my love for your style continues. Good purchase on the J brands. Are they the flared cord ones from the fur vest video? Gorgeous. I have found the missioni dress in eBay v cheap in my size.... Should I go for it? I must admit I have even been thinking of leather shorts... but only as very cheap 'try them out' purchase and only with opaques. Although my legs are thin they are also sadly white and scarred.
Talking of trying things out, thanks for the thoughts re. the cream roxy. Was disappointed by the no's. but on reflection you're all right and actually I'm not sure I can quite carry off a biker with conviction, like bloss so obviously does. Love that black dress / roxy / shoeboot outfit. Think I'm going to buy a cheap TS alternative or equivalent when I find one and see how it works.
sprogger, hello! Jealous of your height and ability to wear maxis. That colour is gorgeous.
amber, I'm getting excited about your birthday present pile now! What a nice DH.
red, sorry about the gap trousers. I still plan to try them this week, although think have missed out on 30% off now. I still want the 50/50s too, although impressed by the alternatives found.
marsha, I'm up in Nottingham so no to a meet up at this point, sadly. Hopefully one day, although I can't even imagine how I'd be able to decide on an outfit..
