Eyes are grey blue. Can't do both dang Wish I could!

shopafrolic · 25/02/2013 21:15

The blue would work well with lots of your coloured jeans that you've Pinned Marsha.....including the cream you've ordered.
The green is lovely and springlike but could be a difficult colour to wear dependent on skin tone.

Ha ha me too Marsha... dark blue round the edge with grey flecks.

I vote navy.

Nice jeans Drywhite. Ignore the dry clean label, they'll wash fine.

shopafrolic · 25/02/2013 21:16

drywhite I only have the Paris but dry clean only would make me nervous.......

MarshaBrady · 25/02/2013 21:20

shopafrolic · 25/02/2013 21:20

Sometimes manufacturers put dry clean only labels in because they can't be bothered to test how the fabric washes. (i used to work in retail)

Jeans, sweaters etc generally wash fine. Unless something had a special finish or was embellished, I really wouldn't worry about it.

shopafrolic · 25/02/2013 21:20

Woo hoo!

Hurrah Marsha

Well done... who's next? :o

MarshaBrady · 25/02/2013 21:22

Haha much more fun being convinced to buy something Grin.

Anni I think they'd be fine to wash too.

shopafrolic · 25/02/2013 21:23

Am I the only one who gets the same buzz when someone else makes a purchase that I do when I shop for myself?!

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 25/02/2013 21:24

Yep it's great to have others to pick up the baton when not buying!

QueenBOObread · 25/02/2013 21:28

Well done Marsha I was going to vote the blue. It looks so much cooler (as in rock 'n' roll cool) than the crew neck.

Re Style Passport, their customer service is fab. I had a similar thing where I bought and IRO jacket for scary ££ and 2 days later they knocked 30% off everything. I emailed them and they refunded me the discount - worth a cheeky email?

All the discounts you get from SP, My-Wardrobe, Liberty makes you think just how much £££ NAP must be making because they always charge full price outside of proper sale time. It's not like they have a shopfront like Matches. I imagine they are doing really well out of MN Voguettes!

QueenBOObread · 25/02/2013 21:30

I need some egging on to get something JCrew...

MarshaBrady · 25/02/2013 21:33

Ooh did you QueenB Yes will do that for sure thanks!

I know I often muse on NaP and lack of promotions I think they just have the best stock and must be mostly exclusive so they can say we won't reduce prices to designers. or something like that.

What do you fancy from J Crew?

Annianni · 25/02/2013 21:38

Is it that sweater from earlier Queenboo?

McNally · 25/02/2013 21:44

Ooh, well done Marsha. Was also tempted by that sweater.

Itching to use that J Crew code too QueenB. What are you thinking of?

Drywhiteplease · 25/02/2013 21:47

Well done marsha I am a bit slow, but would have voted for the navy.
queenboo I'm v tempted by
this J Crew bag

Drywhiteplease · 25/02/2013 21:48

Not v exciting but v v useful

Annianni · 25/02/2013 21:53

Nice bag.
You know what we're going to say Drywhite...

MarshaBrady · 25/02/2013 21:57

I going to watch Black Mirror, but before I go, go for it Drywhite!

Thanks folks for the enabling has been a hoot.

MarshaBrady · 25/02/2013 21:57

I'm of course..
