wine I love white denim but could never do it myself as for me I always think of the posh girls I hated at 6th form!

Love white denim with grey (of course) or a denim shirt. Loads of things on Pinterest I'm sure

MarshaBrady · 29/03/2013 17:46

Wine I have off white MiH Paris, similar. Have seen some good looks with all white / pale will see if I can find them.

Ah Shop well done and it's a toughie but well done.

I'm still in bargain mode I think. Needs to be a good discount.

QueenCadbury · 29/03/2013 17:46

Or with navy

MarshaBrady · 29/03/2013 17:48

Lol Queen. I am yet to remove the tags .

QueenCadbury · 29/03/2013 17:48

Neutrals a la moss

QueenCadbury · 29/03/2013 17:51

stripes, denim jacket and coloured belt

winefairy · 29/03/2013 18:02

Thank you girls. Loving the links so far especially the Moss and the navy. It's giving me courage. That's what I was worried about though QueenC. Suddenly, I'm buying loafers and white jeans. I'm an Alice band and pearls away from looking like an old sloane! On phone now. Will check back later.

MarshaBrady · 29/03/2013 18:04

I do love white with slightly off white.

QueenCadbury · 29/03/2013 18:06

marsha lovely as that outfit is it looks like a disaster waiting to happen (I'm thinking toddler fingers, tomato ketchup' red wine...)

MarshaBrady · 29/03/2013 18:10

I know, it'd need a no go dc zone. Then again I look at the MiH Paris and think they look so clean! I'm going to have to be careful.

santamarianovella · 29/03/2013 18:15

queen my life is revolved around pinterest! fashion,food ,decorating but not crafts and DIY!
i find tons of inspirations on how to style basic and boring items like plain shirts and tees. i stopped buying fashion magazines,never could relate to any of their fashion spreads.

Drywhiteplease · 29/03/2013 18:23

for Wine
I love white with neutrals, you'd need a jacket obv.

I'm addicted o Pinterest, really gives me great ideas about how to style stuff and reminds me that I haven't lost it now I'm over 40 [bungrin]

Drywhiteplease · 29/03/2013 18:32

if the Paris Vogue team can do it you can too Wine tres chic n'est ce pas?
Pointy shoes essential.

Drywhiteplease · 29/03/2013 18:33

I do think it's a bit odd how they are all a bit cloney

Drywhiteplease · 29/03/2013 18:43

I think I love her

Drywhiteplease · 29/03/2013 18:44

Not liz H

wine, I have white jeans too, never worn. Will try this summer. I thought to wear them with coral. Love the neutral styles pinned too. I just fear white jeans won't be flattering enough for me.

I really like pin too, funny how addictive it is. I couldn't understand what the fuss was about when I first heard about it. I need to use my boards more, frugal, I really like your boards with specific pins for eg how to wear a denim shirt.

I liked those loafers wine!
I am also a bit of a magpie, I should try to figure out for outfits from the clothes I have.

shopafrolic · 29/03/2013 19:28

I had some white jean outfits to try on this board

Thanks for the support all. I know there'll be other bags. It's just an enforced ban on spending is harder than making a proactive decision not to shop.
Amber loved your Dressing Room blog post. I was looking in their windows last week thinking I could buy up then whole store if I won the lottery. Such lovely things......

Some fantastic ideas. Thank you so much. I am determined to give the jeans a fair go before I decide finally but think the extra half stone I am carrying at the moment isn't helping! Diet and exercise regime resumes in the morning then.

All the helpful suggestions have really given me fresh ideas and new confidence and I must properly start pinning again to see what would work with the rest of my wardrobe.

Hope it's okay but have followed as many of you as I could quickly recognise on Pinterest (I'm under my real name and I'm a puppet if that helps). Looking forward to a proper look once DD is in bed.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 29/03/2013 20:37

At my parents' for the weekend so time limited, but wanted to stop by to say a big THANK YOU for all the gorgeous bum-covering tops! I think my favourite is the Zara one, but a couple of others may be found a use for too.
And as for the French vogue white jeans link, ooh-la-la! Wish I could be more 'French', iykwim Wink

Drywhiteplease · 29/03/2013 20:56

Oh wine I've seen you on Pinterest. And btw I'm good at encouraging others to wear white jeans but like MrsR [bunwink] I've only worn them once.

Drywhiteplease · 29/03/2013 20:57

[buwink]

BrandyAlexander · 29/03/2013 21:17

Evening all! Manic day...First time I have relaxed all day! Having a slice of coffee cake and a Brew. Hugs to Shop. There are very few people in life who haven't had to have enforced spending bans at some point. Its crappy. x

pickledsiblings · 29/03/2013 22:02

Shop, use the spending ban to get creative.

wine, I so wish I could wear white jeans, I really love the white and off white look that Marsha linked. I am tempted by a white blazer for Spring.

novice, glad you got some nice jewellery in the end, health to wear as they say and hope it stays scratch free!

OneLittleLady · 29/03/2013 22:08

I couldn't wear white jeans even if I wanted to, they really don't, IMO, look good when you're as large on the bottom half as I am. I'll stick to my dark washes and keep telling myself that they make me look lovely and slim [bugrin]
