I have just ordered it - so easily influenced! And that's me spent out for April Grin

libertychick · 10/04/2013 23:11

Ahhh good ideas there Hopefully it would probably work with my biker boots...just realising that half the problem is I think the look could be a bit young for me and I feel self conscious about that even when something suits me...and both you and Amber are about 10 years younger than me...ahhh what have I done????

AmberNectarine · 11/04/2013 08:00

liberty I am wearing a tube skirt for work today so it will be on the blog - some inspo maybe?

Annianni · 11/04/2013 08:23

Liberty, that Cos dress is lovely and I'd wear it if I wasn't fat and I'm 40.

Hello! I've just had a peek at the cos dress and love it. £6 delivery though!!

Annianni · 11/04/2013 08:49

Beware anyone ordering from Gap.

On the mobile site gap.eu, the neon parka etc are about £5 more than on the normal gap.co.uk site.

Annianni · 11/04/2013 08:50

I wore my neon parka to the zoo yesterday and it's fab for £35

foxysocks · 11/04/2013 09:19

i love that cos dress and jumper. gorgeous. have a similar knit jumper dress from hush. maybe one to watch in the sales for me.

am ordering trainers and yellow tee today I think. white jeans should be here soon too, now if only the rain would stop might be able to wear them this weekend!

what's everyone wearing today?

shopafrolic · 11/04/2013 09:23

I did look stylish earlier Foxy but then DS had a poo explosion to end all poo explosions so I'm now in jogging bottoms and a hoodie! Raining here. I am willing the Spring to arrive by the weekend.
Wedding anniversary today so will dress up tonight for dinner instead.

I'm wearing a burgundy Toppers tube skirt, cobalt Iris & Ink silk tee and JV snake print flats. I'm blinding it up with a very gold LKB Annina bag too.

AmberNectarine · 11/04/2013 09:47

blinging, sigh.

Annianni · 11/04/2013 09:54

Marsha Lanvin flats in a 40 on the outnet, but they're cotton with a heart print pattern.

foxysocks · 11/04/2013 09:55

nice outfit amber will check your blog later for the pic. and good shopping Wink

shop oh such is life with DCs, hey? I am also slobbing a bit now in AA grey leggings and old H&M black vest about to do a quick yoga practice (once have finished second cup of coffee and ordered some trainers!).

was a little more glam on school run but not by much - oversized grey silk/linen mix dress, black opaques, black biker boots, olive barbour. topped with a pink neon bobble hat Grin

MarshaBrady · 11/04/2013 10:06

Thanks Anni I think I'm going to wait for the exact colour and ones I'd like, unless plain turquoise blue or something comes up. I have second meeting with another person (well time tbc so in theory) for the project, the one where I met for coffee, so am hopeful that I will be able to get them soon!

My outfit has gone backwards in this weather, not good, back to pistols, MiH and I&I. Need that sunshine back.

MarshaBrady · 11/04/2013 10:10

Great outfits Foxy and Amber, love the sound of the neon pink bobble hat.

Shop happy anniversary, what will you wear?

shopafrolic · 11/04/2013 10:20

Thanks Marsha - due to lack of funds we won't be going out for dinner so friends of ours are throwing us a dinner party and we're taking the fizz. So probably skinny jeans, nude LKB Florettes, silk blouse. Not sure yet, must give it some more thought. :)

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 11/04/2013 10:22

That sounds nicer anyway. Love the outfit.

foxysocks · 11/04/2013 10:24

that sounds nice shop. are the links on your pinterest?

marsha the hat is a few years old from the matches sale. bought it after DS was born when I felt grim and was still all flabby so no clothes buying.

have ordered these three pairs on my Considering board to choose from pinterest.com/yogicaroline/considering/

shopafrolic · 11/04/2013 10:31

Yup Foxy - unfortunately on Autumn Winter board not Spring Summer!

I'm wearing gap distressed boyfriend jeans, white h&m vest and a Gap navy sweater.

We're having a lazy day today.
I'm looking forward to next week, when I'll get my house back.
I've had enough of ds1 charging round being noisy and dsd tapping away on her laptop.
I can't wait for some peace and quiet.

I need to have a proper try on later, and decide what i'm keeping.
The neon pink breton is due today.
So i'll wait for that first.

I didn't think you'd want those Lanvin flats Marsha, I think there's an age limit on having heart print shoes :o

Happy anniversary Shop

Annianni · 11/04/2013 11:07

Lovely trainers Foxy.

I've just got Grazia, so i'll look at the list.

carrie74 · 11/04/2013 12:38

I like that Cos dress too Liberty. I'd wear with my Hudson ankle boots (which go with EVERYTHING).

Today am wearing blue Me&Em dress, black opaques and the ubiquitous Hudson boots. Topped with a grey Cozy (I have worn my 2 cozies every day this week to work, a different style each time Grin), belted with a neon blue skinny belt.

Happy Anniversary shop, your evening sounds lovely (as does the outfit). Smile

Amber I LOVE that Annina bag, have been tempted. How has yours held up (I'm a Mulberry girl, and have always been pleased with the quality and how long they last - I make my bags WORK!)?

AmberNectarine · 11/04/2013 13:00

I've had it 2 years now and so far so good, but as a disclaimer I have many bags so none of them really have to work too hard. Of all of them my Rocco is looking the tattiest and I've only had him for 4 months!!
