Poor you onelittlelady:(

I eventually got properly out of bed at 3pm. Took the dcs to the park so changed out of pjs into helmut Lang kinetic cowl top with Warehouse black jeggings, white Levi denim jacket and Russell & Bromley black ballerina flats. I felt like hell but looked good! Just sitting by ds while he goes to sleep and I will be back in pjs whenever ds decides to grace me with sleep Hmm

I am doing another marks shop for the dcs. If John Lewis did fireman Sam pjs I would be straight there!

Marsha what will you switch to? Am thinking of sending my coat that I have lived in for 6 months dry cleaners and then storage. Can't work out whether I will be freezing in my mac this week or not!

BrandyAlexander · 14/04/2013 20:56

Way too funky for me Shop but am sure someone way triendier than me will be along to give you a proper opinion!!Grin

OneLittleLady · 14/04/2013 20:57

They are......interesting boots. I'm curious as to what they could be worn with without clashing terribly.

Ha Shop I know gotta be careful.

Novice I switched today!

Vanessa Bruno tweed jacket today, also have a Gryphon navy peacoat. Both outnet bargains incidentally.

Shop bit funky for me too, I'm afraid. Trying to imagine how someone would wear them, not sure.

OneLittleLady · 14/04/2013 21:01

Never! In fact, I think you should have a glass on my behalf since my painkillers prevent me from having one of my one Sad

Gosh marsha how brave! Mind you I have been hot in thermals and biker jacket the past week - it may be time to ditch the thermals! Biker jacket needs a clean, but don't have anything else to wear so it stays until the weather's warmer! I don't even have a mac since my Zara one got too stained (remind me never to buy a cream mac again).

MarshaBrady · 14/04/2013 21:02

Sure you didn't have any of those funny smokey things? Wink Grin

Am slow, soz. That was to Shop.

I know, but it was 19 today!

19! I can't go back. The scarf at least, that needs a dry clean and I don't want to look at it for another year.

The citrus bright green acne can stay out as hasn't been used much.

MarshaBrady · 14/04/2013 21:04

Me either Shop. Can't stand the stuff now.

QueenCadbury · 14/04/2013 21:14

shop step away from the wine Grin!

Oh what a lovely thought putting away the winter coat. Not sure that I dare yet as it still seems very wet here even if it is warmer.

Not even the turquoise ones? Sunday Times must have got it wrong then? Right, no more booze and no more links tonight.

QueenCadbury · 14/04/2013 21:19

On second thoughts keep drinking. I'm rather enjoying the links Grin

MarshaBrady · 14/04/2013 21:20

Don't stop Shop! The turquoise ones are a bit better. Still, hard to wear?

Great outfit MrsR - especially the shoes
Bed early for you tonight Novice!
Shop hmmmm I couldn't do either of those boots - but I would wear those colours in a shoe - not sure what it is that makes the fluro boots a no no but shoes ok???
Anni sorry I haven't looked at any bags despite intending to - I second QueenC on radley - I have a tan cross body radley and it's fantastic quality. Got it for about £90 in a HoF sale.

Feeling crap today - very hungover after a friend's 40th birthday party last night. Popped out to go to M&S for some hangover food and caught sight of myself in a few mirrors and was suddenly appalled at how parsnip like my legs looked in my skinnies! All winter I have worn them with long tops/coats and superga or biker boots and today I was wearing the Leni blazer and NBs with them and it just looked all wrong - I may have to switch back to straight legs or baby bootcuts for the S/S looks.

Oh and whoever mentioned the M&S neon T's (think it was shop?) I got the pink one today - it's great Thanks - much, much better IRL than on the website. here it is. Foxy and Marsha the yellow version is lovely.
