Also guys, can you remind me of my new rule. If it ain't on my must-haves board, it ain't comin' in. Impulse purchases will be no more.

Looks great amber
Dreadful luck with the rugby verity. Settling down with with wine here. Clinks glasses with decam.
hopefully, that is appalling. Really bad form. Glad you're home safe.

I was just thinking how we used to have pizza on a Saturday night. I think my trip to Rome last year where we had it every day has cured me!

Amber how many seconds are you expecting your new rule to last? Grin

Feeling really uninspired about buying clothes atm, which is annoying, as I could do with some. Need to have a sort through my wardrobe though and see what the gaps are - I am phobic of buying something unnecessary, and it is crippling me with indecision. Finally decided to take the plunge and buy the orange dvf and it has mysteriously disappeared from dvf site. Weird.

Santé, Bloss. :o

I like, Amber!

This dress is on my list for winter.

DD1 has just come back down to dance to the Communards, remember them? (showing age)

Hopefully · 23/06/2012 20:58

Just followed my old link to the dvf dress, and it went in the sale, so is presumably sold out now. That just says it all about the kind of day I am having today. Sigh.

MarshaBrady · 23/06/2012 21:02

Like your pinterest Amber

Nice dress Decam

I hear you Hopefully I want some bang for my £ not just languishing in wardrobe.

Chin chin Bloss

Verity love Maje, perhaps that's what I need.

Sadly my night has been postponed due to illness (babysitters not us).
Bah! Still am really tired so better that it's next week instead.

Hopefully · 23/06/2012 21:06

Lol decam that's the new season colours of the dvf I wanted! Vaguely wondering if I could pull off the blue or if it's too cool for me.

Hopefully · 23/06/2012 21:08

The blue looks a lot more muted in the matches pic

blossoming · 23/06/2012 21:09

Shame about the dress hopefully, and the babysitter marsha.
That dress I think would be a great colour on you decam.
Gosh it's wet here. Stuck record...

Decameron · 23/06/2012 21:10

Great minds think alike, Hopefully! Can you find it in orange on Bloomingdales/Saks/Neiman Marcus? They ship here.

pickledsiblings · 23/06/2012 21:15

Gosh those blues look very different don't they. You'll just have to order it and see Hopefully.

Decam, is it the red one that you like? Pity about it being DCO. V. nice though, will you be getting the gloves/tighty sock things??

I think I prefer the blue. Popsocks essential! What's DCO? I have the same dress in black, bought 10 years ago so good cost per wear.

Decameron · 23/06/2012 21:43

x post. You're good, Everything!

Hope you had a good day, Emo.

Seventh what a star you are Grin

Love my one! Working down list. Meant to be watching a movie (bit dull) what link heaven.

AmberNectarine · 23/06/2012 21:50

Ooh great picks SE, love my Erdem (though would take a foot off the length) and that RI is so bloss!

Meant to say, fritzi, that Pianoforte MaxMara was reduced to £95 in Selfridges would you believe!?

pickledsiblings · 23/06/2012 21:50

Oooh, yes please Everything Smile.

Decam, DCO = Dry Clean Only

blossoming · 23/06/2012 21:52

Lovely seventh. When can I expect delivery Wink!

Decameron · 23/06/2012 21:53

That's a bonus for me (bad history of shrinking things).

Hopefully · 23/06/2012 22:05

SE I a, filling a gap for most things at the moment! Have virtually no work clothes, very few casual clothes, no clothes at all, really! Am working on a list to expand on my A/W wishlist. Wrap dress not terribly dramatic, but easy to dress one way or the other, and fabric was spot on for me. Ho hum.

Have just ordered some TS khaki coloured jeans and a couple of t-shirts in an effort to fill serious lack of clothing at the moment.

As Annie suggested, i'm trying to let my size 'settle' a bit before buying too much, as I'm sure I'll grow and shrink in some areas over the coming months, as my shape has changed so much this year.

Hopefully · 23/06/2012 22:06

Thank you for links, btw! Brora and IO dresses def too natural. I have some lovely purple knit fabric, I might just pull out a wrap dress pattern and make one when DH stops work.
