well, my hair is now purple. Darker than I'd hoped for though. Ah well, was an itch that needed to be scratched Grin

dry,i still have a handbag that goes back to my days at university 11yrs!i hate it, it has a big ink stain in the pocket! but it has lovely memories.
and i have a jacket from DH,i have not worn it for over a year now but i will never throw it away,its the first thing he bought for me! might wear it tomorrow.

foxysocks · 15/05/2013 21:02

does anyone LIKE wendy?! I would happily punch her in the face. and I'm a full on yogi peace dude.

Drywhiteplease · 15/05/2013 21:07

santa I have suits from my "proper" job,pre kids, that I gave up 15yrs ago!!!!Shock have been keeping them for serious occasions (funerals?), or for when I'm an old lady! Just tried on my fav pinstripe from circa 1998, DS " mum, did you work in the 1950s?" Shock, DD " it's huge, horrid"...Sad, they're right though, shapes change........bin bin bin...........
32 items and counting!!!!!!!

I quite fancy this to fill the small gap
jacket I blame Shop, would prefer a brown but think black would be more versatile ???????? Still lusting after the Maxmara though.

foxysocks · 15/05/2013 21:09

these are my knickers linus. cotton, comfortable, true to size. i'm an 8 and wear an 8.

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2013 21:10

Lol Foxy, do you mean blog Wendy or some random Wendy? Grin.

I'm woeful at chucking stuff I don't wear.

Drywhiteplease · 15/05/2013 21:11

foxy why? Love her look, has interesting background...what I don't get is where does she get her money? She says she's a volunteer. Rich husband? Beautiful though .

foxysocks · 15/05/2013 21:11

blog wendy. what a ponce.

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2013 21:13

I think she's in serious freebie territory now. Her dh is the photographer iirc.

foxysocks · 15/05/2013 21:13

frolicking about everyday in hugely posed shots and outrageously priced outfits is utterly uninspiring to me. am starting to feel I am not the fash bloggers market. i only like DMBL40, amber's and AWO.

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2013 21:14

I like it but hardly ever look at it. Much prefer Pinterest.

santamarianovella · 15/05/2013 21:16

dry,maxmara do good sales. wait a few weeks for them to start,its a shame to buy anything now.

i think wendy comes from a rich family,and her husband must be loaded,she lives in LA after all,but i dont like her style.

AmberNectarine · 15/05/2013 21:17

I love Wendy. Ok, it's not real life, but she has a great eye. I think WIT walks the line between glamour and real life very well.

santamarianovella · 15/05/2013 21:18

the one i cant stand is the atlantic pacific chick,she always looks so frozen.like she is made of wax or something.

foxysocks · 15/05/2013 21:19

oh yes I LOVE WIT. I wish she would come back, I miss her posts.

foxysocks · 15/05/2013 21:19

no I don't like AP either. too saccharine.

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2013 21:19

I agree WIT is great.

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2013 21:20

Not keen on AP either, too many bracelets.

BrandyAlexander · 15/05/2013 21:21

Sorry foxy, I like her lookBlush don't read everyday though!

I used to get as passionate about underwear as I did accessories. Grin I have about 40 matching sets in every colour. I am a stupid size, 28E, so i get them from freya, rigby & peller, john lewis (but i have to get 30dd and tighten hooks), fantasie, panache. Dh. I la perla but unfortunately they don't love me so I have to console myself with nighties from there (I am wearing £9.50 M&S pjs and my cable slippers as I type this!)

Given I am meeting some of you on Saturday I shouldn't really blab this but.....I tend to match underwear sets to my outfits Blush so if I am wearing a pink blouse, I will usually be wearing a pink bra underneath. When I put together my whole outfit in the morning, it includes underwear. Blush

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2013 21:24

Wish I had the nice underwear to do that Novice!

shopafrolic · 15/05/2013 21:26

Shit, we're not checking each others underwear when we meet are we? I'm having enough of a worry planning what to wear on the outside!!

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2013 21:27

Lol beware! (I'll be kicked out Grin).

BrandyAlexander · 15/05/2013 21:29

LolGrinGrin no I am just a loon!

santamarianovella · 15/05/2013 21:30

shop pllllllllz report on that! it will cheer me up on our ill timed break.

Sleepwhenidie · 15/05/2013 22:15

Oh God no checking underwear, please! Mine is tragic, I used to have loads of beautiful matching sets but now I am totally in despair at ever finding a bra that fits perfectly. My biggest issue is that one boob is bigger than the other so only one cup ever fits properly. Am thinking of a Rigby & p visit to be honest. I am wearing Calvin Klein 32D now but earlier was in a Myla 34C Confused!

Having said that about bras, I highly recommend Hanky Panky stretch lace thongs. They come in one size only but are super comfy and invisible under all but the tightest (or leather) clothes. £18 each here but I noticed the other day they are markedly cheaper on shopbop.

Will find SM dress and link....
