Yes Grin So you, me and Foxy won't be able to rock up in the orange AV Grin

MarshaBrady · 28/02/2013 20:26

Definitely won't Shop no way it's yours next Smile

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 20:28

Love it! It should be the MNV sweater. Much better than a scarf. Let me know what you think ladies!

Blimey ladies. Can't keep up with the thread, or the shopping! Must try harder...

Like the look of those R&B jeans. May have to investigate and consider being unfaithful to my beloved J Brands.

Shame about that Whistles order shop. I'm considering this Whistles sweater but not totally convinced. I think I may just be trying to make the most of the discount.

That all saints t shirt looks lovely sleep.

Good to get those views on Iris & Ink Marsha. Annoying that it wasn't a keeper but glad you got the American Vintage. Good work foxy.

foxysocks · 28/02/2013 20:29

yep I got the last small, £22 delivered. it's the new MN sweater with an in-crowd of 3. :-)

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 20:30

Meant to say. Spoke to Style Passport the other day about the price of returns and they said they are considering moving to free returns. Sooner the better I say!

ahaha shop crossed posts. great minds.

MarshaBrady · 28/02/2013 20:40

McNally that's really nice.

We'll be able to spot each other in a crowd haha. SP yes to free returns!

I didn't do the quidco because I get too flustered in these late night shopping things, and haven't signed up and have no idea how to do it but I should really. Still was only £23 from £94!

I feel a bit mean to the I&I now, as you may all like it. The s was big, which I think made it worse, should have gone for xs. I also think that £140 is more like the full price instead of bargainous outnet discount. I mean you can find an acne sweater around that. Or a P Lim in a sale. I'd say it's worth £70 on the outnet .

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 20:47

Right ladies, I need a blazer for Spring, not too structured, to wear with skinny jeans, sweaters, tees. i should say I don't want black but would consider, or perhaps navy but a dark navy, or a green. The challenge? Sub £150, ideally sub £100. Any offers?

Aargh,I can't keep up with you all.

Haven't had time to look at ll the links properly but shop do they have your whistles jumper in John Lewis. They may be nice and honour it at the discount you would pay in whistles itself?

amber it's not meant to be and if it is then tht bag will find its way to you just like rocco did.

Drywhiteplease · 28/02/2013 20:56

Ladies.....so far I have ordered 3 pairs of jeans.am planning a big try on at home....you lot are dangerous but fab .Thanks

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 20:58

Oooo good thought QueenC will take a look. Thanks!

I'm after a blazer too, shop, in anticipation of nicer weather.

I find shopping in Zara hard work but have had some good (and cheap) blazers from there in the past. What about this one? Might be too unstructured.

Shame this Massimo Dutti is black.

Will keep looking!

Pseudonymity · 28/02/2013 21:29

They had loads of cobalt blue Sophie Hulme in HN Bristol today. Which one are you after? Perhaps they would send it for you Amber?

libertychick · 28/02/2013 21:30

Love your blazer pins Shop.
Welcome winefairy
hmmmm on the I&I feedback Marsha I am still mulling over the silk T's but now distracted by the All Saints T's Sleep has linked - decisions, decisions...
Good luck with the jeans Drywhite
Grin at the MN sweater, I'd love the prune version but sold out - great price
So I have wrecked the last pair of day to day work shoes I had - hate shoe shopping and my failure to update has caught up with me. Today ordered black loafers and tan cowboy style shoeboots. Getting them delivered to the Topshop close to where I am working tomorrow which takes the stress out of returns. The shoeboots are a bit of a departure for me but there is a woman who I see a lot at the station in the morning and she wears them with everything and they look really good.

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 21:33

I need full length sleeves and a darker colour so the Zara won't work McNally, plus I make Zara stuff look cheap! It just doesn't tend to work on me. I like the Massimo one.... Ponders

Drywhiteplease · 28/02/2013 21:35

Liberty I bought some loafers like those last year.....didn't see anyone wearing them, but I love them. Will be interested to see how you put them together.i really love mine.

MarshaBrady · 28/02/2013 21:38

Liberty I still really like the silk ts. And would prefer one to the I&I sweater. Could be really nice.

libertychick · 28/02/2013 21:40

Drywhite I am assuming I'll wear them mostly with slightly cropped or just on the ankle trousers with shirt/blazer or sweater for work and also with shift dresses and skirts that come to just above the knee and with straight leg jeans rolled up at weekend. Not sure if they would work with skinnies...how do you wear yours?

Drywhiteplease · 28/02/2013 21:53

Similar......with cropped trousers (when it's warm enough to take my socks off!!) and with boyfriend jeans/ blazers. They look ok with black skinnies too. Haven't put them with dresses, but like that look a lot too.

QueenCadbury · 28/02/2013 21:54

shop have you tried mango for blazers/jackets?

libertychick · 28/02/2013 22:02

Marsha the shape of the I&I T's is great...will decide tomorrow...trying to stick to a budget each month so if I keep both pairs of shoes it may be harder to justify as I am also looking for new trousers.

libertychick · 28/02/2013 22:04

But then if the I&I T's are perfect they could be the ultimate investment purchase, no? And therefore allowed on a 'cost per wear' basis Grin

McNally · 28/02/2013 22:10

Grin at enabling self!

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 22:17

No QueenC I don't have a Mango nearby. Will take a look online. Thanks. Feel free to link any recommendations.... :)
