MN Vogue - Vol 19

[shopafrolic]

All welcome to talk style, beauty, fashion etc. Continuing on from here

Oh I will wear a black blazer or jacket open w/ a lighter T. Just not a buttoned up coat. Wore deepest black for my Fathers funeral and FIL and I looked haggard and in shadow.

I know, really low. Liberty was pretty bad, a few sizes of the best stuff. Probably gone now. Bonkers.

I'm not great with a black coat either Mig. I have a See by Chloe one, might be navy. Should check it out, but it feels very sombre on.

I love black, it's my go to colour for everything. I'm not sure if it's my 'season' but I think it works for me. I suspect I'm a winter possibly leading into spring as some of the brighter spring colours work for me but mostly winter colours are my best.

I ordered a couple of tulle skirts from ebay, I'm just waiting on them being delivered before I twirl round my front room like a little grunge fairy

A Lovely little grunge fairy One. Never too old to be a fairy.

Beautiful boots shop.

Fave colours - grey, navy, cobalt, petrol blue, black, fuschia, raspberry, bright pink.

Worst colours - bottle green (makes me look drawn, had to wear a bottle green jumper for five years at school, am totally scarred and now can't bear it).

Yes McNally bottle green was my uniform colour too, it really suits me but I struggle to put it on now!

I had a lovely uniform at boarding school in Central America- cream turtle neck t shirt in Winter w/ dark red and cream pleated skirt and burgundy blazer. In Summer we wore white cotton tops with a cream/brown and red pinafore smock over the top.

Then back to the UK and a 'dress code'- purple or black or brown or navy or red, green, cream or white. Of course I'd subvert it by wearing Osh Gosh style ticking stripe pants.....

My school uniform was red and black so perfect colours for me

Forgive me Frugal for I have gone a bit bonkers
Had a lovely shopping trip ( DD came but I made it clear "this is a trip where I'm trying on loads "....how did we end up in Primark buying her jeggings,boyfriend jeans and having a near miss with a pair of distressed denim dungarees that made her look like a hillbilly )

I picked up these thank you to whoever mentioned 20% off......fantastic for £39!!!look lovely. Chuffed.

Then tried and bought this it's very red, really lovely, will be great for work.

Then I went to try these and these
Was expecting the Mary Jane/Prada rip offs to not fit my wide fit but they were fab on.,v pointed, v directional. The second pair I had to order pay for and will try on Friday. Like both, the pointy are v cool , might stab a child at work though. The second are a safer take on a more pointy, not so scary but a bit half hearted? Any thoughts?

Waiting for Boden jumpers and Cos skirt to arrive.

Shop lovely o get compliments from strangers...could you link the dress? This thread is having a very good expensive influence on my wardrobe.

Foxy I'm trying to order bifolding doors ATM ...haven't the first clue. Have bought 9 oak doors, some funky nickel handles, oak flooring.......stumped at bifolding doors.

Unlauf worse still is seeing something in a magazine, finding its not in stock, stalking for months then finally hitting the jackpot, celebrate, order, spend days watching for delivery then when it comes it's crap ......

linus colours;

I love blues (airforce/grey blue is my favorite,but also cobalt,navy.)
Greens, forest is my favourite, but also apple green, khaki ....never lime. I adore peacock colours (would love a scarf with a peacock print) teal, turquoise, mint greens....
I really love blackberry, chocolate brown, rusty red, burnt orange, most greys. Black.

I hate yellow,lime, lilac shudders , fushia pink, pastel pink, most pastels infact.(but I think they look lovely on others, just don't suit me)

What season would I be anyone?

Shop love the boots

random door handle link!

this dress Dry

Gosh, I be you did look fab Shop

Shop, I'd been eyeing up that dress myself but decided against it as I thought it might make my hips look even wider than they already are and I didn't think there was enough waist detailing for me. How's the fit on it, is it as slouchy on you as on the model?

Thanks Dry
Yes One v slouchy, great pockets

Comes in the same red as your skirt too Dry

Looks as tho red has sold out but there's this one

In fact, looking at your Pinterest, I wear a lot of your colours, odd because I think we have v different colouring.......this is what I don't get about colour analysis. Or is it that I may be wearing colours I like but don't actually suit me

I'm not sure if I could wear that really bright red so close to my face though shop

It may be just too slouchy for me then shop shame as it's really nice. Bet you look fab in it

It's a dark art to me too Dry! Some of your colours seem cooler toned than mine? A few more pastels? I think your red is brighter and clearer than the tomato red of my Levi's Dress for example. I really don't know.......

Evening. Quick catch up before I go to bed. Haven't had chance to check out all the links though.

Best colours for me are electric/cobalt blue, emeralds, Chinese/lagoon blue and damson.

Worst are definitely yellows/browns/oranges/limes etc...

Aargh, dd is crying again. Could be a long night. And predictably sil doesn't want to go to Westfield anymore. Boo.

My uniform was purple and white with a little bit of grey. Purple tunic dresses over purple gingham shirts in lower school, then purple blazer/jumpers/cardis over white blouse and grey shirt in high school.

When I went to my reunion recently (and missed the MU) I wore white jeans and a purple Wang vest. Must have been totally subconscious - didn't even realise until we were st at lunch and someone pointed it out! They were also the colours for my wedding (I have a purple sapphire engagement ring), indoctrination starts young.

Tbh Shop the red of the skirt is brighter than I'd normally go, but I really love the skirt and with it being on my bottom half I guess it's ok. Yes probably cooler...I'm fair but not blonde.

Funny Amber . My uniform was royal blue, loved it,v me.still have the blazer! (Boater in primary!!!)
