That's what I meant, although I'm no expert! And my screen could show a different colour too.

sweetmelody · 19/11/2013 19:33

So is this dress a no then? (Although don't know if it'll fit yet)

jennimoo · 19/11/2013 19:52

I reckon it's a no but it's closer, I'm sure someone more clued up will be along soon!

sotiredfornow · 20/11/2013 09:37

hopefully & evelyn - thanks so much for the warm welcome :)

I agree, having looked over my swatches, that the purple top I posted is the wrong purple and too dark.

I'm really struggling to find an outfit for a couple of nights out over the next few weeks. Please keep the autumn ideas coming ladies! Has anyone seen any nice going out tops? or simple dresses?

onlysettleforbutterflies · 20/11/2013 16:32

Just ordered these [http://www.next.co.uk/g4930s11# brown coated jeans].

Are coated jeans over? I just thought they'd be more dressy over Christmas than wearing normal, plus they come in XL length, which excites me greatly lol. Hope the fit is okay, as I always find Next a bit dodgy.

onlysettleforbutterflies · 20/11/2013 16:33

Arghh link fail Blush

coated brown jeans

sweetmelody · 20/11/2013 17:41

Only - love those 'berry' jeans (look brown to me too!) as an alternative to leather. Look great with teal in the picture

No idea how current coated jeans are I'm afraid!

onlysettleforbutterflies · 20/11/2013 19:23

Definitely brown, went and had a look in the shop. Free next day delivery to store, hope they don't disappoint.

sotiredfornow · 20/11/2013 20:48

Is anyone out there a vibrant autumn? If so, what lipstick are you wearing? I have no idea what to wear.

jennimoo · 20/11/2013 21:18

Sorry, a soft autumn here and not sure myself on lipsticks!

Anyone got any thoughts on this dress? The reviews say the red is 'too orange' but I'm not sure if it's still a little bright, I'm aiming for a brick red.

shopafrolic · 21/11/2013 09:55

Hopefully have you seen the McQueen leggings on the Outnet today?

HerdyHerdwick · 21/11/2013 10:01

A couple of lipsticks to try for Soft Autumn are Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip colour shades Rose Petal and Italian Rose. These are both slightly shiny, so not for you if you like matte.
I'm an indeterminate Autumn (CMB) but both look very nice on me and aren't colours I would normally have chosen, being subtle rose pink shades.

onlysettleforbutterflies · 21/11/2013 13:43

Just bought this, hoping colour is okay... green top

They also had a nice rust short sleeved one.

sotiredfornow · 21/11/2013 15:04

^ I like that Topshop top! It looks the right green to me. What are you going to wear with it on your bottom half? Do you have a link for the rust short sleeve one? Rust is one of my best colours but I couldn't find it on the site. Thanks!

onlysettleforbutterflies · 21/11/2013 16:05

Sotirednow - planning on wearing with my new brown coated skinnies from Next, posted upthread about them yesterday.

I think this is the rust top, although its described as Berry, it looked very rust in the shop to me, although could have been the lighting I suppose top

onlysettleforbutterflies · 21/11/2013 16:10

Reading that back...I hope I don't look like a tree Hmm

sweetmelody · 21/11/2013 18:51

Does anyone want to share what they are wearing over the party season?? Everything in the shops is so.... black!

QueenofWhatever · 21/11/2013 19:49

sotired I'm a vibrant autumn and recently bought the Superdrug MUA Clinique chubbie rip off in Runway. Really comfortable on and only £3! It looks bright and orange, but then when you put it on, it's a lovely red without being too scary.

sotiredfornow · 21/11/2013 19:54

sweetmelody - this is what I'm struggling with too! Please everyone share your not black evening out clothes!

onlysettle - I'm tempted to try those topshop tops :)

queenofwhatever - sounds lovely. thanks for sharing!

onlysettleforbutterflies · 21/11/2013 20:18

Sotired, loving the green one and very flattering, bargain for £15!

GeorginaWorsley · 21/11/2013 20:41

Love the green top.
Agree there are few nice dresses around in autumn shades.
Would love a green dress or a rust/burnt orange one

sweetmelody · 21/11/2013 21:46

autumn party dress here

The green is gorgeous but I like the plum too....

I know, I know it's not an autumn colour

sotiredfornow · 22/11/2013 10:22

^ that dress is stunning! Wrong shape for me unfortunately.

Does anyone know - come spring/summer, will it be impossible to find our colours in the shops???

Hopasholic · 22/11/2013 11:38

That dress is beautiful sweetmelody. I love it in purple too.

I ordered a purple mini from Boden (DH answered the door to the delivery driver and shouted upstairs 'it's ok Hop, Boden haven't gone bust yet!) Anybody would think I had a shopping addiction or something Hmm Grin it's probably not autumn purple but it does go with lots of my autumn colours.

HELP!
I really need a top to go with some teal velvet skinny jeans, if anyone sees a nice silky/floaty top in autumn purple or another colour you think would work! Please link Smile

GeorginaWorsley · 22/11/2013 13:05

Love colour of green dress but wrong shape for me too,am hourglass so can't do high neck or pleats.
