Dry that outfit sounds gorgeous! Have a great daySmile

I bought one of the items of my "want" list, a silver watch. I also got a "Carrie" necklace. Less popular now so happy to get itSmile

QueenCadbury · 25/05/2013 12:44

Yay, the sun is out! Chocolate cake is iced (looks nothing like nigella's), pecan pie is baked (looks nothing like mary berry's) and we're awaiting friends arrival by which time it'll be wine o'clock.

Had my hair cut this morning. Can't seem to upload a photo but I took inspiration from kiera and went for an angled bob. I love it and so does dh!

Have a fab bh everyone....

MarshaBrady · 25/05/2013 15:43

Dry hope you're having a lovely day, fabulous outfit.

QueenC love Keira's hair cut. I think that is perfect for you, bet it looks fantastic.

Novice that watch will look really fabulous on you.

I am willing the sun out in Wang bloomer type shorts, and grey I&I jumper. Probably the most out there thing I own, the shorts that is. I do love them. They are slouchy with good pockets, can't beat a good pocket. Dh is at work doing stuff, so I should get some brownie points and my relaxing weekend starts tomorrow.

BrandyAlexander · 25/05/2013 16:11

I don't know how you do it Marsha!Shock I know it's sunny but I am still in jeans, long sleeved tee and a longline cardiganBlush I am at the theatre tonight with dh and will wear a knitted dress and boots. In MayShock

Btw I have a 20% code for M&S for this weekend if anyone needs it. Was in the queue and got given a reusable voucher (can be used online too). Will post it when I find it in my bag. Was a nice surprise after the mini haul for the dcs!

AmberNectarine · 25/05/2013 16:59

Am wearing new black sheer v neck batwing top over Goldsign skinnies with leather biker and Charles Philip leopard slippers. Feel disgusting as I spent half an hour in the dentist's chair this morning and had that special kind of sweat on you only get with fear. Bad times.

Out for a few drinks with DH tonight, think I will wear white skinnies and Wang twist front top.

LinusDKD · 25/05/2013 18:47

Marsha wow, you can pull off bloomer style shorts! Envy

QueenC I love that Keira haircut, I bet it looks stunning on you!

dry your outfit sounds lovely, especially the mint green. Such a nice colour for spring.

Today I wore the Jimmies again and I really, really love them. I might even see if they come in white or grey as I have been converted.

I saw a lovely Jack Wills cardigan online but have no idea what the quality is like.

Drywhiteplease · 25/05/2013 18:48

There's a lot of wang- ing going on today Grin
amber I feel sorry...absolutely detest any dental work.

MarshaBrady · 25/05/2013 19:02

I feel I must disclose that I have stayed home today, so in the sun trap sheltered garden and no one other than the dc have seen the bloomer style shorts! Although I'd probably still wear them somewhere louche Wink.

Amber argh you poor thing, I detest dentist stuff too.

Linus they sound fabulous. You're making me want some too.

I thought two things whilst doing some work today. a) isn't Jimmy Jimmy a great name for a boyfriend jean and b) if we did a venn diagram we might be able to populate the middle section with a fair bit of Wang.

On that note, what is your most out there garment? The one you put on and think this is really stretching my sartorial edge?

Drywhiteplease · 25/05/2013 19:24

My shopping trip was fab. Took glasses case...but no glasses!GrinDH didn't buy "not being able to read price ticket" as an excuse !!!! Was restrained, but had a good mooch and lunch, and drinkie laterWink
I bought
this top
Really nice with jeans.

shopafrolic · 25/05/2013 21:08

Dear God my new nephews are just delicious!

Drywhiteplease · 25/05/2013 21:34

Oh Shop how lovely. Would love to cuddle them....twins so sweet! for relatives who can hand them back and not do night feeds

LinusDKD · 25/05/2013 21:34

Aren't newborns lovely? Especially when they're someone else's! Wink

Dry I love that shirt. Maybe I need a floral shirt?

Marsha I don't have any Wang!

I have ummed and arred over stuff on the outnet but never taken the plunge.

LinusDKD · 25/05/2013 21:35

X-post Dry

libertychick · 25/05/2013 21:50

Ohhh 2 teeny babies - must be lovely Shop

Very pretty blouse Dry and amazing that you found cotton in Zara.

Hair sounds fab QueenC

Marsha I have thought that too re the 'Jimmy Jimmy' - perfect! I am so tame with my clothes that the item that challenges me most is this skirt as the colour is very strong. I had to get glasses recently and I went for these model 1701 in the purple colourway which feel like quite a statement on my face.

Waiting to see much more interesting answers to your question!

MrsRadicchio · 25/05/2013 21:53

I agree with newborns being lovely when they are not yours! Are they identical twins shop?

Great question Marsha - mine are these dungarees I love them and don't feel "out there" in them but I know they are an acquired taste!

Lovely purchase dry, beautiful print. Like the sound of your outfit today.

Nice to see your faces shop, QueenC and One and your masked face sleep (great pic!)

santamarianovella · 25/05/2013 21:55

Linusi I'm so glad I'm not the only one wang free!

dry loooove your excuse ! Wish I could use it!lovely top !
shop my sil,had a baby a few months ago,and every time a see the lo,I feel like getting pregnant right away,and then I recall morning sickness!

marsha I have many ! sometimes you want something that is the opposite of what you normally wear, so I have this top I love it, but it's too blingy , It looks good with distressed jeans,but toooo shiny! And I know you said garments but i have these wedge they are really shiny in RL,the photo does not bring out the blinding gold color.
And I have a pair of coated jeans,in goldBlush
I love these items,but they are obviously not things that can be described as my style.

I think gold is my rebellion colorGrin

OneLittleLady · 25/05/2013 22:03

I have no Wang either

Today's outfit was all based around shades of purple. Maxi skirt, ribbed vest top, 3/4 length sleeve cardi, ballet flats and a floral scarf as a sling. Felt gothy yet summery Grin

libertychick · 25/05/2013 22:06

Not an out there piece of clothing but I have just moved these Me & Em trousers from my 'ordered' board to my 'wardrobe' board on pin. They were waiting for me on return from hols today and have just tried them on and they are perfect! Great fit, perfect length and as comfy as trackpants! I can tell already the CPW will be v v low Smile.

Linus gold coated jeans!!! You must have amazing legs!!!

santamarianovella · 25/05/2013 22:08

i like your dungarees.mrsR

libertychick · 25/05/2013 22:54

MrsR your dungaree link led me to your dresses board - I love them all!
