Turquoise Love that red coat and the tartan trews pictured with it. Now you've made me go browsing on Zara when I should be doing some work

Armani chic

Please excuse the random links - I have to strike when the mood takes me

stalked I have a de manta clutch, it is probably my favourite possession of all. Definitely the most 'me' thing I own.

Grumpy that double breasted jacket is lovely.

I am getting well into the a/w links, am getting bored of summer now we're in that not-quite-summer-not-quite-autumn phase. I'm longing for a good morning chill in the air!

OneLittleLady · 19/08/2013 13:16

shop that's good to know about the shoe sizes, if I can get a 4.5, my shoe pains may be over!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 19/08/2013 13:17

am I mad, or is this gorgeous?

Aaaargh! Despite being 'New in', the beauteous tartan trews are already sold out. Hearteningly, my size does have 'back soon' beside it.

I am already mentally wearing them with my Longchamp sweater, drinking a glass of whisky beside a crackling log fire in a hotel in Edinburgh Wink

shopafrolic · 19/08/2013 13:18

I like that image Grumpy :)

hmmmm...

OneLittleLady · 19/08/2013 13:26

I like the tartan skirt grumpy wrong shape for me but I'd love something similar to that pattern

stalked123 · 19/08/2013 14:20

Are there any tall people on this thread? I'm fairly tall and have 33 inch inside leg. I love the look of 7/8ths but am always conscious that it looks that I just couldn't find trousers long enough. Do others think this when you see tall people in them? Oddly I don't think that myself when I see others, just when I wear them myself!

Thanks hopefully. I winced a bit when paying but convinced myself that it's a classic and I will never buy another clutch again.

OneLittleLady · 19/08/2013 14:27

I think tall people in 7/8ths trousers/jeans look terribly elegant and leggy. I have to admit to leg envy when I see those tall ladies rocking that look because I have a 26 inch inside leg and 7/8ths trousers still have to be rolled up on my teeny weeny legs!

stalked123 · 19/08/2013 14:31

one I think the same when I see others but one of my friends once said when I wore a pair that they would be great if they were just a bit longer and I think it's made me conscious ever since.

foxysocks · 19/08/2013 14:43

You guys are fab. Saw them, grabbed them. Expensive ones will have to go back!

OneLittleLady · 19/08/2013 14:54

stalked i think you're just overly conscious, it's very obvious on tall ladies that the jeans/trousers finish where they are meant to because of the hem. Quite honestly i think your friend was being a bit overly critical, I think they'll look fab on you myself, I'm very Envy at the length of your legs btw!

shopafrolic · 19/08/2013 14:56

Stalked I'm a 33 with heels, 31 without and I struggle with 7/8 lengths. They stop on my shin rather than above the ankle and look wrong. I prefer to roll things up but that isn't such a smart look. Brands like J Crew do longer lengths for us tall birds.
Marsha have you found a way to make it work?

Today's style effort is - Black wrap dress, leopard print tights, velvet DM's and leopard print hair clip. I feel fantastic Grin

foxysocks · 19/08/2013 16:42

oh man. nothing like a bit of panic buying on the M5, is there?

was idling browsing the outnet app on my phone when I saw THE boots. I couldn't believe it, I actually shrieked. DH was so calm, just said order them quick and send back the FP ones. so I got the last in my size but not without a very fast racing heart!

now we are home and I've looked at the all the online pics, I can't see any difference between the FP and outnet ones. i guess I'll find out in the next few days.

thanks so much for thinking of me shop and amber, you are so lovely. x

outfit sounds great one

stalked I am quite tall but don't mind jeans that hit at the ankle bone. esp with flat shoes, which is almost all I ever wear. that length feels quite fresh to me now after super super long jeans being all I wanted a couple of years ago.

in terms of brands, my j brands are much longer than goldsigns. I also have some washed black jeans from mango which fit brilliantly, they are super long. and of course, once they are tucked into boots - which, let's face it, is sept-may! - no one knows how long they are.

Annianni · 19/08/2013 17:27

Did you get the brown F&B boots Foxy?
Or has the black sold out?

Fab news if they're nice on.

OneLittleLady · 19/08/2013 17:35

After a closer look in my wardrobe, I have found TWO tartan skirts, one purple, black and grey and one green and brown. They will work perfectly for the look I'm going for with my boots and coloured tights. So chuffed, means more money to spend on other things Grin
