MN Vogue Vol 11

[Decameron]

Continuing from here...

YY,i love the no judging part too,
queen,i wanted to post my pic a few times to ask about opinions on outfits and really got freaked out at the last minute.

YY to the no-judging. This is a lovely, friendly fashion thread. I go through phases of being spendy and frugal so it's great to come on here and get a whole range of ideas, depending on where you're at. I also enjoy reading about all your purchases...lots of inspiration.

QueenC I say go for a bit shorter bob, maybe? Very 1920's/Great Gatsby. I had an inverted bob a couple of years ago but I don't know if it worked all that well on my fine hair .

Hi everyone! QueenC and Santa you could upload pics to your profile and make them visible only to your mn mates (would have to of course name whoever they were...no pressure )?

Shop sorry you are feeling rubbish about turning down the work, it must be very frustrating . As others have said though, the time just isn't right, it will be soon....also, think how much better it is being able to turn it down, could have been quite different if your DH hadn't got sorted to quickly .

My DH gets a bit irritated with my MN obsession and I do downplay how much time I spend on here, he was a bit bemused by the MU idea but is pretty laid back. We chatted about it when we were out last week in fact. He was shocked that MN threads cover all sorts of subjects not even remotely related to parenting bless...

My Wang is wanging winging its way back to the Outnet today, both tops too tight and sheer. Thanks for the offer of the Goldsigns Anni but straight leg not for me either. I still haven't used my pre-sale discount on MW as I got a Zadig VIP sale invite too, lots of things I like there, I've ended up frozen with indecision !

Marsha how did your day go today?

Sorry to hear about the disappointment at turning down the freelance work shop. Sometimes things aren't worth the additional juggling they'd require, but things change, and now you've got your foot in the door a bit again hopefully something good will come up at the right time next time.

If I was a 26 I'd have been interested in those gold signs Anni. Are straight legs mega frumpy then?

Go shorter in stages QueenC?

QueenC now you've said that... You can do 'mn mates' and select people to see them. Much easier than showing to everyone. Do you want to keep the fringe or grow it out?

Great jacket Paris. Clean lines.

lol Liberty sometimes dh leans over to look and I wave him off. No reading!

Shop I know how you feel, it will happen when you're ready I'm sure.

Sleep love the frozen with indecision bit, ha I get that .

And it didn't happen! I was going to post that I had a great interview for a project I'd love to do today, but it got cancelled. Boo. Waiting to hear if they still want to do it. Also had to cancel nanny which was not good, apparently they have a tendency to do this and cancelled the previous applicant many times. But I can't put the poor nanny through that so I said please don't book unless you are certain. Not sure if that will put them off, but I really don't want to mess up the nanny's time. She's fabulous and I hope to keep her.

How disappointing marsha hope it turns out right in the end though.

Thanks OneLittle if it wasn't for the cc thing I'd be ok with everything, just ups the ante a bit. Am feeling a bit more zen about it all now.

Oh Marsha sorry to hear that. Hope you find a way to make it happen.

shop sorry to hear about the job. I would like to go back to work eventually but I have no idea how that's going to happen with DH traveling so much.

Novice I hope the rest of your day went well.

foxy I ordered those JL knickers you mentioned but I had to have them delivered to a UK address so it will be a while before I can try them on.

Dry lol at 'my sweaty betty'

Marsha I hope the interview does happen soon!

I have a question about Pinterest: how do you pin your own pictures? I have a few things I want to pin but can't find a piccie online to pin.

Marsha sorry to hear about the interview.
Shop sorry to hear about your job....but,as the others have said, maybe it isn't the right time. I'm a great believe in fate, not much comfort right now but things do always work out for the best IMO. It did eventually for me....like you I'm far away from family and gave up my career working with fabulous clothes,sob now I'm doing something I'd never thought of but suits my life perfectly crap pay though, great holidays make up for that though.

Staggered round Sainsburys after spinning class, looking a lot like John Wayne , and picked up yes obsessed I say a navy cotton, kind of broderie Anglaise, but not twee, dress with fitted sleeveless top ,nipped in waits and straight just above knee length skirt with box pleat, for £20... Looked lovely on and perfect for sitting on the floor with kids all day. A bargain.

I've just made frittata ...put it in because I love saying that word,sounds rude, a bit like focaccia!!

Hmm crossing out didn't work

linus there should be a "camera" line on the left hand side bar which allows you to use a photo from your library or take one. That's using the iPad app though, not sure if its on a laptop.

Thanks Dry, I am on Ipad. When you give Pinterest access to your photo's does that mean they can use them whenever they want like Facebook?

Just asking because I have pictures of the DC on there and I wouldn't want anyone using them without me knowing it.

Can FB use your photos? Yikes !!!! How can I check that?

Well, I thought they could but I'm not quite sure. Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick but I thought that pretty much anything you post on FB becomes their 'property'.

Any FB experts who can confirm/deny?

God linus I'll need to get rid of that photo of me snogging Eddie Redmayne before it goes viral!!

sleep i didnt know its possible to do that! i was so desperate for an honest opinion,that i was very close to pms all with pics and ask which one to go with .

linus,i think you have to download them to your chosen board,so no access to your camera roll,if that is what you mean?
dry why havent you mentioned that you and eddie have a history .

dry lol. Does he have freckles everywhere?

Linus lol!

Disregarding the fact that I had to google him. Good one Dry.

Lol Dry!

Sorry to hear of job disappointments Marsha and Shop

Do any of you have this sweater?. If so, does it wash well? I'm fed up of sweaters going a funny shape and bobbling after a few washes.

I have a Gap Luxlight crew sweater Paris. It has washed ok, not amazing. The shape is fine but there's a little bit of bobbling.

Ok I've uploaded a photo (hideous double chin but I blame the iPad) and I've set it for mates to see but it hasn't asked who my mates are? Why am I doing wrong

Linus oh yes, and a lovely bottom I saw it in Birdsong

Thanks McNally
