Just have a quick look on the Jigsaw website first QueenC - they just sent me an email promoting all their lace goodies......

Already checked shop ad they've also got 20% off everything. Will order from JL as easier to return as I can take it into store.

shopafrolic · 25/04/2013 13:45

No brainer then QueenC - go for it! :)
Cast your votes please - especially you colour experts....
Is this navy or marine navy?

you might as well order it to try, queenc. it's not actually an expense until you decide to keep it. your DH sounds like a good 'un!

there must be something in the air as DH has just texted to say he will buy me the chan luu scarf Shock. he doesn't know have already ordered the other! haha. so i could get both and send one back, OR i could fess up but ask for something else from my wishlist.

that's so helpful on the CE front, thanks santa, you are turning into my fashion fairy! are they fairly low rise? would they be ok with a shirt tucked half in/half out?

cashmere and silk prices in india have gone up. back in 2007 i could get great scarves for around a tenner, now it's more like £30. which obv isn't a lot compared to here but for the locals it's proving hard. same with groceries - limes are up to 7rps and they were 1rps six years ago. the lovely locals i employ when i'm there are really suffering as a result.

foxysocks · 25/04/2013 13:46

ooof shop I don't know, from the pics on my screen i would say navy but i would need to see in the flesh.

foxysocks · 25/04/2013 13:55

& other stories have just tweeted to say they are restocking accessories and bags online. in case anyone wanted that yellow CV bag.... shop

AmberNectarine · 25/04/2013 13:59

Current Elliott too low rise for me!

QueenCadbury · 25/04/2013 14:01

All ordered. Hoping an 8 will fit. I can collect it from waitrose tomorrow. As you say shop it's a no brainer as it's free delivery and I'll happily return it to store as an excuse to browse even more! The white top thing is an itch that needs to be scratched (in the words of hopefully).

Who was it that wanted raybans? They're 20% off t JL and I'm guessing HOF too?

My kettlewell scarf has just arrived. Might wear it this afternoon as it's freezing now!

QueenCadbury · 25/04/2013 14:02

shop looks like navy to me but then I'm not exactly sure what marine navy is Grin

foxysocks · 25/04/2013 14:09

i heard someone in JL talking about the waitrose collect thingy. that's fucking GENIUS.

MarshaBrady · 25/04/2013 14:10

Shop that's fantastic! Well done! I am worried about my role as the rec cons has started mentioning paye. I don't want to be employed. I want the day rate! . I'm meeting more people on Monday if they say paye I will try not to have a strop off like last time (well not really but just thought bah mid interview).

Foxy excellent! Well done mr fox. Love that scarf.

I have some c/e stiletto ones. these. They are low rise. And they are big so size down if you can.

shopafrolic · 25/04/2013 14:12

Already checked foxy - it's not in stock :( but thanks. Have a basket full of clothes from them but must not order until DH has news...... sits on hands AGAIN

shopafrolic · 25/04/2013 14:14

marine navy

Lovely top, QueenC. Just drink white wine when you are wearing it!

C/E runs big Foxy, think I have the same pair as Santamaria.

Congratulations, Shop. I'd do it if you have childcare. That's so mean they are claiming against you when they weren't injured. I was in a car crash a few years ago, it wasn't my car and I wasn't hurt but I was amazed at how many calls I got from law firms trying to persuade me to make a claim.

Good call on the Whistles top, Anni. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and pay full whack.

Aren't you hot in cashmere today, Marsha? It's so hot here, I've been sitting outside. Wearing Goldsign lure jeans, white sleeveless Whistles top and navy havs.

QueenCadbury · 25/04/2013 14:18

Now you've showed me that then I think it may well be marine navy.

foxy yes, it's fab. They don't do it at my nearest waitrose that's got a nice easy car park so I have to go down to the triangle but can usually park in a side road easy enough.

Just realised that apart from the LKB dress I don't have anything else as expensive as the jaegar top. Feeling a little bit guilty now. It will have to be wonderful to be a keeper.

shopafrolic · 25/04/2013 14:23

I think so too QueenC - unfortunately it's also sold out in my size! Sits back on hands.......

OP posts:
foxysocks · 25/04/2013 14:26

i'm still not sure i'll order it marsha. £150 for a scarf! . might wait till the other one arrives and if I don't like it much order then.

is that the waitrose in WP, queenc? i prefer that one, the triangle is way harder to park although MrFox's ex-employers have a car park we are often allowed to use.

Annianni · 25/04/2013 14:27

I'm in cashmere, a vest, woolly socks and I've got the fire on!

You southerners with bare arms and flip flops...

The Waitrose JL thing is fab, I do it often, Waitrose is only 1/2 mile away from my house
:o

Annianni · 25/04/2013 14:32

That sweater's lovely Shop, it's the same knit as the FC cotton cardigan I got last months (and have worn loads of times)

Hopefully · 25/04/2013 14:39

Shop I think it's normal navy.

I have been putting off cycling into town all day. I need to actually go now. Bleurgh.

santamarianovella · 25/04/2013 14:52

marsha the ones i have are a mid rise ,or maybe i have a short torsoGrin.

foxy a friend of mine went to a retreat in india a couple of years ago,and she bought me the softest cashmere scarf ever,and you know there is a chan luu factory there,Wink.

Ani ,dont mean to sound so inconsiderate,but its 21c.

MarshaBrady · 25/04/2013 15:19

lol Santa Grin. I am such a mid rise person these days that I need a good bit of jean. They are probably low to mid but I find them loooow.

Decam I did get hot just after I posted that and changed into a sun dress. I was going to update then got distracted Grin

Oh Anni you've got the fire on! It's a whole different climate.

shopafrolic · 25/04/2013 15:58

Just laid outside for 15 mins while DS slept and am now freckle-tastic!

OP posts:
Hopefully · 25/04/2013 16:20

Oh FFS. Just cycled all the way into town (25 mins at reasonably pace each way) and realised I had forgotten my wallet. That's my exercise for the day done!

shopafrolic · 25/04/2013 17:33

OMG OMG OMG - he's been offered the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
