Cool sandals Fritzi.

Am off to town to hunt down new skinnies - my TS Agnes-alikes and my j brand Marias are now properly too big on the waist and fall down just enough to cause major muffin top. I'll prob eBay the Marias, since they've only been worn for 3 months.

Emo76 · 13/03/2012 11:46

fritzi I like the idea of a flashmob. apuski bummer on the Marni order - was worth a shot though. I completely missed the whole thing!
pickles I remember those tods pumps with ribbons - were gorgeous - but couldn't justify. ahhh.

am at work. people keep interrupting my internet browsing with WORK. I mean...

silk top

silk dress

spot silk top

Good idea, FLE - happy to pass any of these on, either posting or bringing to the MU. All a size 8 (generous).

MarshaBrady · 13/03/2012 11:57

I love this Missoni dress. But not for me know. (me when younger and with a tan!)

I really like your links Fritzi

MarshaBrady · 13/03/2012 11:58

Meant to say, what a shame about the Marni clobber Apuski.

No clothes shopping for me as DS2 has slightly lost the will to live. Maybe I'll save it for Saturday, my day of FREEDOM Grin

MarshaBrady · 13/03/2012 12:24

I really like these jbrands in this outfit. Has anyone tried them on? indigo jbrands

OllieinOrange · 13/03/2012 12:54

Apuski is the silk dress the cream spot knee length one? Number 22 on those Vogue pics you linked to? If so Id love to try it on. Lady in H&M on Sat had picked her order up and tried it on using the mirror in the shop, hers was a 12 and it hung off her so maybe worth a try? Deluded moi?

OllieinOrange · 13/03/2012 13:15

Fritzi just seen your Marni link love it. Yes to buying it, trying it on and taking pics! What a great print.

Red have cleared the diary for Monday morning and will attempt to buy OK scarf online and have it sent to my sisters. Got ahead of myself thinking they were on sale this week! I keep clicking on the link.

I need to make a decision about which colour Me and Em dress to keep. Am in the mood to wear coated skinnies on Saturday but have no suitable top so may bring them anyway and maybe see something when dashing round the shops. If not, god knows. Janice or Flashmob Me and Em. Am so pale at the moment, everything I put on drains me.

In all seriousness Hopefully you should just say if the thought of other people wearing the same dress as you doesnt appeal. You were the first to buy it and all that?! Im sure none of us will be offended so please just say Smile

Just brought a cute cardi from a boutique which I have never been into before. Pale grey and air force blue stripes (my best colours) - really soft. Looked nice with new jeans. I must say Im enjoying wearing slightly paler jeans after an autumn and winter of dark indigo ones.

GeorginaWorsley · 13/03/2012 13:18

I second all the CS advice.Remember you have had an operation,as well as a baby,ifyswim.(from one fellow nurse to another Wink)

Thanks for all chino-wearing suggestions.
Think I will return cheapo New Look ones as they seem particularly unflattering.Have a sandy coloured pair from Boden last year that I will wear again I think,and resist any more as I don't really suit them.
I like my wide leg or skinny flare,more flattering,but necessitate weges/heels so wanted sometrousers to wear with flats.Think I will try a pair of capris or rolled up coloured skinnies.

Apologies for ramblings!

Russianred · 13/03/2012 13:27

Good news Ollie, glad to see you're on top of things Wink! New cardigan sounds gorgeous. I have a vision for on outfit on Saturday day and I only own one of the items in the vision. May have to go back to the drawing board. Keep the grey M&E if you have navy Janice.

What a shame about the Marni stuff Apuski. Am still waiting for mine - was hoping the arrival of yours might mean mine was not too far away. You MrsCB? Have seen their returns policy - not too bad, but will need posting rather than in-store which is more than a bit of a PITA - 30 days to process!

Lovely dress Fritzi - you'd look great in that.

Hopefully · 13/03/2012 13:28

Ollie I love the idea of Me & Em flashmob! I have no qualms about half of us showing up in the same dress, but didn't want to offend anyone who'd been planning an outfit for ages Smile

I have just pigged out big time on white bread. There should be laws about M&S pumping out that nice baking smell!

Russianred · 13/03/2012 13:28

And I may have lost my sense of style - DH informed me my trousers were Mumsy this morning Hmm.

blossoming · 13/03/2012 13:28

Lovely name icey. Hope you're having a lovely time together.

marsha, they look good. New style for me though.

Really feel weak and shaky today. Not conducive to good teaching.

Meant to say to emo before, that I'll probably be in jeans for MU.

blossoming · 13/03/2012 13:32

I seem to be left with 57 calories for the rest of the day.

Russianred · 13/03/2012 13:33

Sorry to hear you're feeling no good Bloss. Only the afternoon to go.

Is a white linen shirt a terrible idea? Will I be a crumpled mess?

Hopefully · 13/03/2012 13:37

Bloss my white bread ishoos have resulted in me being something like -183, and it's not even 2pm. Sigh.

OllieinOrange · 13/03/2012 13:44

Ive just scoffed a white pain au rustique and a koffiebroodje (danish pastry). I must be in the minuses too!

Hopefully Me and Em flashmob it is then Grin.

Bloss hope you are ok. Do you need a sugar fix to help with the shakes?

Hopefully · 13/03/2012 14:01

Fab Grin. Have you decided which colour to keep Ollie?

blue2711 · 13/03/2012 14:09

Ooh, thank you so much fritzi those leopard sandals are just what I have been looking for! Just about to order them; anyone got a MW code they can share?!

red you wear the least mummy outfits ever!

Got almost no sleep at all last night (sorry to keep going on about it!) so after a busy morning out at toddler art then lunch I'm slumped on the sofa eating a bag of mini twirls. And my cleaner has been so the house is pristine! Bliss.

hopefully you should try the Topshop Jamie's if you want some bargain skinnies. They've changed them since last year and I'm finding them ridiculously flattering and lovely quality denim too. If DS is not playing ball get on the website instead!

blue2711 · 13/03/2012 14:09

red I meant mumsy. Hate auto correct.
