Hello all! Just had a nice catch up, lying on my bed. Feeling very tired and uncomfortable but lovely mum has just whisked DS away for the afternoon so I can have a rest then see the midwife. Convinced I'm going to be early this time, but that might be wishful thinking. Didn't dare watch One Born last night!
Have been smiling at the stories of drunk DHs. Hope your row is forgotten now annie. I actually quite like it when DH is a bit drunk; he's all smiley and silly and miles away from his usual serious 'big boss man' persona.
Shopping wise, my Anna order has arrived and is v disappointing. The Day Birger cardigan is wonderfully cosy and would look fab on a tall lady but it just drowns me. I look like I've just wrapped a big grey blanket around me, simply swathes of fabric... Not good! So that's going back and I'm a bit underwhelmed by the black stretchy dress too. Hard to tell with the bump but I'm never sure about a cowl neck on me (don't they require breasts to work?!) and the fabric feels very flimsy. So I'm getting a refund and have finally ordered the roxy in cream!
I also made an impetuous Topshop purchase yesterday on my iphone: the same spotty trousers as you red! Wanted the other ones before so had to try them. Also got Wendy's faux leather panel leggings to try and some pink leopard slippers here. Agree about the price of those leggings annie but I do really value a good pair of leggings / jeggings / treggings / jodhpurs. Anything thick and tight and I'm there basically! Have lived in my maternity ones, so much comfier than maternity jeans which seem to both dig in and slip down on me. I do think leggings work much better in winter than summer though. Love them with long boots and big cosy tops but always feel a bit 'teenage girl' when I try them with tunics or dresses and sandals in summer.
By the way, could you link to your j brand jodhpurs sometime please amber? They sound right up my street! Can't believe I haven't tried Agnes yet, might go and look at that HoF eBay site next. The mavericks look good but a bit ££. I can't wait to wear my hot pink j brands post bump. I've often wondered about pale pink but think they would be harder to style ( would still be tempted though, for the right price!)
I enjoyed reading about WIT.s Christmas too and also LibertyLondonGirl in MArrakech and Wendy's cold weather looks. Great picture of Miranda Kerr on RedCarpetFashionAwards here too.
Enjoying reading about potty training rather less! DS is probably about ready at 2.5 but I'm not! Want to put it off for a few months till spring and we've adjusted to life with baby. Is that bad? Good luck mim though, impressed that you're going for it!
pickled thinking about you back in the classroom. Hopefully you're finding it exhilarating as well as exhausting. Bet you look gorgeous in your brights; would love to hear about your outfits sometime.
Hello to everyone else, sounds like you're coping well with back to work / bad weather / diets and all the other January joy! I'm jealous of you notyummy with your 40th trip and Oz to look forward to. I'm really looking forward to the Nottm MU though, and hopefully will make a London one later in the year, fingers crossed!
Sorry for epic post!
