Love that sweater Marsha I need just a few lovely items to get me excited about the change in season.

Helpful list of outfit ideas Dona. Could you give me a link to or explain this tomato thing to me please? Sounds useful.

Bought Topshop Leigh skinnies in pale khaki and in burgundy this morning. Rather disappointed they seemed to have stopped with Jamies, which I preferred, thicker and higher rise. Also bought pleated plum maxi skirt, bit of a style departure for me.

Really feels like autumn here today but I'm liking the crispness.

MarshaBrady · 12/09/2012 14:52

They'd look great on you Blue and thanks!

Yes I am doing strategic shopping this season. I need maximum return on all items. Not good then they are Out.

Blue do you have a link for the plum maxi please?

DonaAna · 12/09/2012 15:13

Ooh Marsha love the Paige leggings (am tempted - and one of the style gurus claims that they are the best - but perhaps not before I have rejected my Outnet and Yoox boxes).

Blue Tomatoes here - useful to combat procrastination if you are creative/self-employed or a writer. I use the Tomightly application to keep track of time.

Work painful, progressing well, but hating it atm.

shopafrolic · 12/09/2012 15:18

20% off at LK Bennett - enter LAUNCH at checkout. I am gutted as I have now had rubber soles on the 2 pairs I bought so can't take them back and re-buy them!

blue2711 · 12/09/2012 15:26

It's here shopafrolic. Doesn't look much online but a nice dark plum, slim fitting and satisfyingly swishy. Am thinking with slim knitwear, grey or navy. Not sure what else yet! Ankle boots.

blue2711 · 12/09/2012 15:27

Thanks dona. Will check them out. I'm too good at wasting time!

Hopefully · 12/09/2012 16:52

Am trying to remember if the shoes I liked recently were LKB or R&B.

shopafrolic · 12/09/2012 17:34

Oooo I like the look of that blue will take a closer look when I'm back on my laptop - thanks!

I am enjoying your links whilst not buying as so many other things lining up first. Spent a small fortune in the running shop today though. New trainers (very understated grey with purple trim.) New sports bra and running tights, and two new tops. Plus bought DH a couple of things in the sale. All added up I can tell you. Technical running gear is NOT cheap.

AmberNectarine · 12/09/2012 19:12

I love those leggings Marsha - could be a good use for the 30% off my lovely employer gives me...

MarshaBrady · 12/09/2012 19:34

You lucky, lucky thing Amber Grin Am so jel!

Yes NY costs a fortune!

issima um hard one will think about it.

mirpuppet · 12/09/2012 20:36

Issima I think those ballet pumps in the oxblood would be perfect Summer ones (as in, for a Summer, not for summer. Although also good for summer. You know what I mean Grin).

MarleneBoyce · 12/09/2012 21:40

issima those Dune flats are currently on promotion on the John Lewis website. Apologies for barging in.

DonaAna · 13/09/2012 06:30

I knew it - it seems that gray sweatpants are hitting mainstream.
Garance Doré wore them to swish party and now they are everywhere: Exhibit A. You can wear them to office now Grin - with heels and layers or laid-back Marant.

DonaAna · 13/09/2012 06:31

Oh and Issimmalike those shoes, like patent leather.

MarshaBrady · 13/09/2012 09:31

I love a good pocket in a trouser. That's one of the things I want a great sloochy pant that I can be nonchalant in Grin

Gorgeous day here. Made even better by the fact that the cleaners have been (two, which is the best as fast). And all children are elsewhere. Have been looking forward to getting these days back. Absolute bliss!

Will start thinking about outfit for event. Important to get the right balance. Don't want to be too overly dressed, plus the floor is hard so actual high heels make lots of noise. Plus might be in the day.

What do people wear to launches/ opening. Dona what's your take on it?

Marsha I think I'm wearing exactly what you're looking for! 7FAM slouchy 7/8 chinos in navy needle cord - with decent pockets! They are so comfy and are seriously flattering, I'm wearing them with my Pistols, a denim shirt and a magenta singlet. I got them in the sales, they are probabley still around, I couldN't find a link to them sorry.
