MN Vogue Vol 7

[shopafrolic]

All welcome to talk style and beauty

i like that anni, would be v useful. is that instead of the AR plastic dry clean only one?

i'm a late adopter of quidco but i do try to remember as it all adds up.

Yes Foxy, the plastic one was returned.
And a navy cardigan is on my list, along with a navy jacket and ankle boots.

I feel the sameQueenC, I love the Phoebe Philo pins but the look's not for me.

Instead of NB I've been thinking of getting adidas but they're so similar to converse really that they won't add anything to my wardrobe.

I used to wear those QueenC, I had them in loads of colours.

I did want some Ash virgins, but I liked the pale grey which seems to be sold out everywhere now

The ash virgins are lovely although I couldn't be bothered with doing up all those buckles!

I think they have a zip on the side QueenC.

My shopping and internet browsing is over for now, the ds's want to play in the garden

yes they have a zip queenc. I love love love mine, have them in nude and tan and they are so useful for the in-betweeny weather.

the PP look is very me, i love trainers.

Ah, a zip would certainly make sense!

anni mine's over too. Dd has just woken up!

foxy I love the trainers look too but fear I would just look dated and old fashioned rather than on trend.

Oh my goodness Carrie! That's quite a tale! Thank goodness it all turned out well, you must have been stressed to the hilt. Nightmare stuff.

mrsR i have this zoe karssen pants www.asos.com/Zoe-Karssen/Zoe-Karssen-Leopard-Print-Sweat-Pants/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2714359&cid=13610&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Blue+ribbon and the fit is Devine ,very slim fitting which I like, its more of sport luxe than casual .I usually wear it with ash wedges ,black top and leather jacket.

A whole afternoon in the garden with DS. Bliss!
Carrie awful bag drama. Such a nightmare getting cards cancelled etc.
Will look at links tonight. Connection slow outside.
Can you get away with NB trainers at 40?

shop I reckon you can if it's styled appropriate to our advancing years. As I said though i'd look dated and like I just put on any old pair of trainers.

Some more inspiration here

i agree with queen,it can be done,regardless of age, but notice how these women wear them,they are are teaming them with very smart tailored clothes.no jeans.
i personally cant pull this sort of look off.

I really like the Philo look but don't think I can do NB. Closest I can do is the all white Marant, or look a likes, from the other day.

Carrie oh my, you poor thing! SO pleased someone handed it in. Amazing, what relief.

Great Breton buy Foxy!

Anni I really liked that look.

J Crew t has arrived and love it, the colour is excellent (aaargh Foxy) haven't tried it yet. But it's that bright yellow popsicle colour that I love.

Have a few things coming up and really want to wear it with a cough vintage tan leather skirt, to be found.

I would like to do trainers, but I'm just not sure I can carry them off, think I will look too scruffy. Am saving my pennies for the perfect pair of slipper flats and the inevitable repeated resoling that will be required due to the amount I walk (although increase in cycling since buying my own bike means I can even occasionally wear heels in daylight hours!). I also can't quite get over the fact that when paired with smarter clothes, trainers sometimes look like someone is just wearing comfy shoes on their way to work...

I am having the most demoralising day ever, a combination of unpleasant, tedious phone calls, a family drama, an almost-forgotten meeting (which was actually really good, but trauma of almost forgetting it nearly killed me) and various other bits and bobs. Wish I could do a bit of retail therapy to recover, but not sure what I need the most, and limited budget means I need to be uber-careful.

No, the smartest I'll be going with my NBs is leather skinnies.

You've just all reminded me that I used to wear trainers with work clothes on my London commute as I used to walk from Victoria across Westminster bridge. Not a look I think I'll be doing again and as nowadays I rarely venture out of jeans I'll stick to my converse methinks.

hopefully hope you're getting over your shitty day.

I think NB look great with trousers but with skirts I'm with hopefully - commuterville
I could possibly do this
Or the plum ones here but none of the skirts.
Amber you'll totally carry them off

PP looks great there, it's the simplicity - polo neck etc love it.

amber will definitely look good in them. She'd look good in anything as she's the right side of 30 !

Love this look with leather leggings and trainers.

Thanks foxy, have ordered it too! Have 7 striped tops but not in that colour way and had my eye on it but too ££ presale.

Any lovely grey sweatshirts around? Ordered a toast one in the preview sale but it is bizarrely and comically HUGE. So disappointed as I thought it would be The One.

I'm living in this one at the moment LeFreak - it's a different cut and has shorter sleeves but it looks fab layered over a bright vest.
