Beating the January Blues by Following our Wise & Avid (Roxy) Rules

[OllieinOrange]

Best I could come up with......

Thanks for that reine. My gut instinct on looking at it was that it would be too large even in xs (is that what you tried on?). Zara sizing is strange I find. I am 5ft 1 and always struggle with skirts; hardly have any and never look that great in them as they chop me up too much. But Wendy looks good in skirts, so got tempted again! Hey ho, back it goes. Perhaps I'll try the massimo dutti one if it comes back in stock.

Jealous of the MU plans! Would definitely be coming if it weren't for a newborn to consider... hopefully you should go!

Bargain Zara knit.

Think I may order...

Ooh, like it notyummy. In both colours. Which are you getting? The magpie in me thinks gold...

This is the tee that I wore belted with lace skirt at the last MU. I think it is nicer than real life...but a good price now if anyone fancies. Two colours too.

Yes, I am thinking of the gold Blue.

Sorry can't link 'cause on iPhone , but can do 10th but not 17th, don't worry if 17th suits more people

Reine Abney and Teal is my absolute favourite Cbeebies programme. DS1 isn't allowed to watch much TV, but Abney and Teal is more or less unlimited. Although 'Big Neep' was almost the end of the love affair the other day.

The Ash Jess Bis are absolutely lovely, but they are too wide! Sob. They are perfect in the length, so no point trying a 7. Maybe I should give up on boots and starting investing in ballet pumps for warmer weather [desperate emoticon]. That feels a little silly in January though.

I have also ordered this top. Good for layering I thought. And I still can't resist a bit of animal print...

Great news Probably!

Liked Zara top NotYummy but am large of chest so need lower neckline!

Ah! I am weeny of chest Georgina (32 A - padded bras an essential to balance out bottom ) so not an issue here.

Lots of tops at mo are cut to flatter less ample chests than mine,unfortunately!

Am I missing someone? Who is probably?
I like the dress ollie, but it is long, and why call a colour 'sediment'?
fritzi, 100% polyester and unfinished edges. I am not purchasing! These trendy brands, I don't know... (remember my fleeting love affair with kooples?). All my DVF stuff is beautifully finished and not much more pricy. And in natural fibres.
I can't make the 10th. Wales v Italy Millenium Stadium with DS.
If we settle on the 17th, dh thinks England are playing Ireland, so will need to book pronto.
On that note, does someone want to share twin, triple room? I don't think I snore.

Gah! Probably? Hopefully!

Sometimes I just can't keep up. (Thus was made v evident last night when I bewildered everyone on a Shred thread by posting about Flash Gordon....

Well, mostly corrected, anyway.....

Bloss - There are few of us looking to share, so you will def get either a twin or triple. Have PMed Apuski and will let you know whether a twin or triple is on the cards.

Hopefully - will you need accommodation? You know NYE don't you, so you could have a roommate that you have met! (She is such a lush though .)

Do I look more probable than hopeful?

NY I am down with NYE's lush status, although rarely get to see her in such a state as we are usually encumbered by small children. Am happy to room share with her or anyone else, but I do snore when pissed .

I bloody hate shoe shopping. I swear, there are no appropriate ankle boots for me anywhere in the UK. I've looked at so many I'm not even sure what I like any more.

Speaking of like, I am rather fond of this Brora dress, and can't wait for it to finally go out of stock so I can stop wishing I had £500 spare.

Is that waist as it should be? It's making my eyes go funny...

bloss I have a question for you: I have been trying to cut out most sugar in my diet for the last few days and I have such a terrible headache and pain in my neck and also feel very tired. Have you also had headaches when cutting back your sugar intake?

Fritzi, that sounds very unpleasant! Perhaps you need a square or three of dark chocolate?

That Brora dress is lovely, shame it is so expensive.

Is this [[http://www.thewhitecompany.com/clothing/new-arrivals/pintuck-herringbone-blouse/ shirt] a bit shapeless and boring? I like the colour.

I'm tempted by NY's gold top too.

DD1 loves Abney and Teale and so do I.

oops

Dauphin, lovely bag, and Red, your work sounds very interesting.
