Not sure what I want yet QueenC but DP might be going to New York for work at the end of the month so I suppose I'll just have to draw up a list for him Grin

QueenCadbury · 11/03/2014 17:50

This is the necklace I liked in the outnet.

I also like this Laura Ashley one and if the blue beads were cobalt rather than navy I would definitely buy it.

Drywhiteplease · 11/03/2014 18:19

Nice Queenc I love a statement necklace

maradesbois · 11/03/2014 18:29

queenc I looked at that necklace too, really liked it but had already overspent.

BrandyAlexander · 11/03/2014 18:54

Hello all! I got these Oscar de la Renta shoes. There is a high likelihood of it going back though as have just spotted the bit that says it fits large to size. Was too much in a hurry!Sad

Mara all the stuff you bought is gorgeous and I can see it going together really well.

Novice lovely! Hope they are ok.

QueenC that necklace is gorgeous too, am amazed it's still there.

Dry you don't mind curly hair do you? Wink. A bottle of champers in the hand and we're done Grin

justasecond · 11/03/2014 20:41

Love all those Mara I had the clutch in my basket last night on the off chance it was in the clearance Grin
Liberty gorgeous necklace!
Novice those shoes are lovely, maybe you could put an insole in? I have been buying lots of insoles lately as I am finding shoes are too big in my usual size. I am sure my feet have not shrunk!
My wish list for ss is quite small (atm) I would like some tapered casual trousers that are not jersey and not 100% polyester with an elasticated waist and slanted pockets in either black or navy. Also the Trina sandals that I will now have to wait till friday for delivery from Outnet! The last thing is some boyfriend jeans that are soft and non distressed and not too baggy.

Drywhiteplease · 11/03/2014 20:42

Marsha remember I had an Edina perm in my 20s Shock

Ok MNV I need HELP!
Thanks to you lot I have bought a lot of really nice stuff that I wouldn't have necessarily considered before.
So I had a big try on to try to get these to work. I think they aren't working because they're edgy and my wardrobe really isn't . I want to wear them with bf jeans.....need slouchy t shirts (love grey, grey blue, greens, sludgy colours, burn oranges) would love digital print t shirt, can you help me ?

Thanks thanks

shopafrolic · 11/03/2014 20:49

Dry do you actually want to do edgy? If it's not your thing don't force it. Is it too late to return them and get something else?
If you want to keep them and try then Whistles is a good place to start. I reckon you'd look ace in my orange sweatshirt......

I love my J Crew vintage tees here
V necks are fab but not sure if you wear v necks?

Hello all, decided to stick to the plan and not even look at the outnet all day. Now off to enjoy all your links and purchases. The long day out paid off, I now have semi permanent contractor work until the summer which dh is v pleased about. Smile

AmberNectarine · 11/03/2014 20:58

dry black skinnies, cream silk blouse, chunky silver chain necklace - job done.

santamarianovella · 11/03/2014 21:02

Lovely stuff! Love all your links,

I've been thinking about a vanessa Bruno skirt and sweater a lot lately,and finally decided to get them,was very difficult to hunt down the skirt,but managed to get it from farfetch,I've never used them before,but anni did,so I guess they are cool. this is the sweater, skirt, the skirt is a bit out of my comfort zone,but I can't stop thinking about,they would look great with a gianvito Rossi pumps I have on my ss list,but I need a code for them,way to £££ .

justa I want tapered trousers too,I found some on jcrew sales section,but not in a color I like,

maradesbois · 11/03/2014 21:09

dry the shoes are lovely. I can see them with bfs and a black blazer and clutch for evening otherwise for daytime some grey marl ideas this, this or this sweatshirt.

santamarianovella · 11/03/2014 21:11

dry maybe the sandals,can work with an A line skirt? Having a second closer look at them they don't look too edgy,the look like something,you can wear with a floral skirt and a sweater,I second shop don't force a style you are not comfortable with.

Drywhiteplease · 11/03/2014 21:18

I have a slouchy merino sweater a lot like the first one Mara
Shop like the J Crew round necks a lot. V neck does nothing for me at all too flat chested. You're right, I'm not fierce and it's perhaps not me at all really,I just loved the shoes . Amber your outfit is fierce but just not me at all Sad .
I think I have completely lost it this week ....those shoes have knocked my fashion mojo .

good job I have two other new pair that are working Wink

santamarianovella · 11/03/2014 21:19

dry I see them perfect with something like this, bright sweater,and floral skirt,

libertychick · 11/03/2014 21:19

Well done SecretSquirrel Smile

Dry personally I wouldn't wear those sandals with boyfriend jeans. I think the combination of baggy jeans and 'heavy' shoes is tricky to pull off unless you are very tall. I'd try them with dark indigo skinnies or black skinnies or with something like your mint velvet skinny trousers

libertychick · 11/03/2014 21:20

Missed several posts! Basically I would style them as Amber as suggested Smile

BrandyAlexander · 11/03/2014 21:26

Gah! Best laid plans and all that! Shop, was going to sort you out tonight but now got a client dinner. Will be Thursday nowSmile

Drywhiteplease · 11/03/2014 22:03

Justa love the MV and last H Lang one .

Thank you all for your help. Having a style wobble.

Off to look at Shop's orange top

shopafrolic · 11/03/2014 22:03

novice I look forward to you sorting me out Wink . No worries though, no stress x

QueenCadbury · 11/03/2014 22:11

dry not necessarily this but something like it so that it complements the fierceness (is that a word??) and adds a touch of feminity. I think you're right that a whole fierce outfit isn't you at all and if you force it you'll be uncomfortable. Have you worn them out yet? Do they come in other colours as they may be easier to style if not black?
