QueenC did you see the link for little sock thingies to wear in your boots that I posted earlier......?

Not for mig but thought I'd show you cute owl that I bought for dd

Phew.....can't keep up, all this pinning is time consuming!
QueenC no one has ever channelled me before, I feel honoured .... I love your boots, you absolutely MUST keep them, they will go with everything.....soooooo lovely. Why don't you pin a pic of you rocking the jeans and boots? Really love the board.
Shop your coats look great, I'm v interested in a pair of Lures now seeing you in them.
Mig congratulations !
Novice well done getting to the gym. I cancelled yesterday due to post party problem and today's class was cancelled.....I turned up with my kit but went shopping instead of going into the gym .... Now feeling a bit guilty slob

Thanks for the comments about the red/pink combo....I'm going to get used to the colours separately first I think. As I sat in assembly today in a sea of navy inc my dark dressed colleagues I thought about how totally psychedelic that ensemble would be, might blind a few kids and that wouldn't do at all!

Thought of Marsha (?) when I bought tuna today. Or was it Sleep? Had a little chuckle in Sainsburys.

shop yes sorry I did but forgot to reply. I will get some if the boots fit. I read that you need to size down and as I'm usually a 5/6 I'm hoping a 5 will fit. How quickly do my wardrobe usually dispatch?

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the coats.
Marsha and any other lovely Voguettes who've met me - what do you think.....?
I think I want to keep both.

I've not bought from them before. Decam have your Pistols arrived yet?

Queen I will have a look on Wiggle now - thanks for that and the follow! mignonette I'm not sure if these are the kind of thing you're looking for but you could look here for hats here.

shop just a thought but could you reorder your m&s coat and get 20% off and return the other one.

Bloom see what I did there who are you on pin? If you don't want to say, just follow me and I'll follow you back.

I did think about that QueenC - I got £10 off when I bought it and the nearest M&S I can return it to is quite a way so the lazy person in me can't be bothered. But that's bad isn't it?

Haha yes Dry it was me. I stock up when it's on sale. For some reason paying £6.00+ for four bugs me, but I'll spend quite a bit on a shoe or bag . I do eat rather a lot of the stuff.

Ok loads of activity on our little board! Fabulous. Am going in...

Yes . Although if it's a way away if you factor in travel costs/parking then maybe you wouldn't be saving much anyway?

dry did you see the Céline bag I linked to? It proves that pink and red really go together!

Loved that Linus
dry You do look great in those colours but I get where you're coming from about not looking like colleagues / standing out too much.
At my old job I always got told to dress to the same standard of the person whose job I wanted to get one day. Unfortunately there weren't too many style icons at this particular retailer's Head Office in senior roles - just lots of grey suits. DULL.

Blimey Mig you're going tartan crazy on Pin tonight. It's on a par with whenNovice pinned the entire Lakeland catalogue! :)

Ohh yes Linus forgot to say....I know I have matchy matchy tendencies but that would be going a bit far .... Cool bags though for summer .

I bought the coat - this one. Love, love, love it. Had a funny time with the sales man in CdC - will fill in later if I have time.

QueenC if the Ash boots fit properly etc they will be worth it - they are lovely and will work with your style.

Shop will comment on pin later but to summarise I love the peacoat - definite keeper but I am not so sure about the M&S one I think the black and white plaid is too fussy but that could just be me - I am a bit conservative. Also I think you look so good in the autumnal colours that I think you will inevitably default to wearing the peacoat all the time. The goldsigns are fab on you .

Mig I just googled those rucksacks and yes one of those might work - will pin as an idea for DH for an xmas gift for me - won't mention it just yet - he's in a sulk ATM at the cost of the CdC coat . I love the cape pin!

Dry the skirt and top are great on you but I am not so sure about the tones of that particular pink and red but that could be the way they have come up on the photo and see above comments about how conservative I am

Right have loads of work to do - will try to check in gain later....

Shop I love the Chloe and you should definitely keep it.

I like the M&S one too, but if you had to keep one go with the Chloe. If you can keep both, then do!

Thanks QueenC and Santa. Will check those out. Am compiling a list for this week as parents are here.

And that should be 'again'...

Oh I loved it when Novice went duster crazy .... Sexy caged sandals one minute, dusters the next......I love the juxtaposition of diamonds and detergent darling!

Gosh yes love that coat too Liberty.

Lakeland didn't deliver outside the UK, but I recently discovered they do now. I am never going on their website again, otherwise I will buy the whole lot.

Lovely coat liberty

Lovely coat Liberty, love it...despite my mid life crisis re pink and red they are that bright in RL I'm conservative too.
Anni if I were you I'd call Jaeger HO and see if there are any coats in their clearance outlets..... I do this a lot, I'm a clothes stalker

Have they arrived Marsha? Have a wonderful time catching up. I look forward to hearing the results of the shopping trip!
Decision made - I'm keeping both coats. Thanks all - I absolutely love being able to get your feedback on Pin. It's funny, when you take a pic you see far more than when you look in the mirror - I always thought those 7FAM cords looked ok.........
