HoC Winters- the cool and clear chat continues here Part 3

[KosherBacon]

Are you a winter colouring? If so come and join us for chat about clothes/make up following on from part 1 here and part 2 here

Do you want to know more about what a winter is? These resources are good places to start here and here.

Scared to try bright lipstick? Previous winter favourite makeup items include Mac Plumful, Revlon Lip Butters in Berry Smoothie and Red Velvet and Revlon gloss in Bordeaux. They are all good places to start without being scarily bright for a newly diagnosed winter. More makeup tips can be found here and by reading through previous threads.

I'm a sultry winter - classic ingénue - thought it might be perfect.

Just ordered this, lovely bright pink! www.zalando.co.uk/kala-emma-jersey-dress-pink-ka821c00d-b11.html

Lovely ladies, I have bought this green top.

I am.having real trouble telling whether it is really a winter green. What do you think? I might take a pic of me in it and mail my consultant as well.

Dress looks lovely, Seasalty.

Nearly bought this today, but wasn't 100% on it...
pink cardigan

Ginger I have that cardi and loooove it.

I bought this cardigan today. Very similar.

Ooh, Sorrel, yours is 100%cotton, nice.

Sorrel have you been looking for a white tshirt? I.bought this which is nice, but doesn't suit me as not fitted enough. Bit see through but pure linen. And cheap!

Thanks, I saw that one in Next yesterday! I really wanted a silk one but can't find anything suitable (apart from one which was over £200!). I've bought a couple of Primark white t-shirts instead

That Next one is probably a bit unstructured for me too. The Primark ones are surprisingly flattering for £3.00

I also bought three white Primark tshirts yesterday. I think they are great.

Liking this, but imagine the quality won't be great.......
grey top

Have missed you guys, have been on self-imposed spending ban but it's OVER. bought a navy whistles tube skirt today and now i need to get some more tops, a blazer and a few dresses. All winter colours, all romantic natural... faints at the thought of that mammoth task

Oh my days, mango is amazing at the minute... sorry cant be bothered to do nice links...

Hi all. I missed the beginning of the thread so apologies. I am after a bit of help actually. I am off to a wedding next Saturday but I am Breastfeeding so most dresses are out. Despite my best efforts, which include hours of attempted Internet shopping and an entire day at a shopping centre, I have massively failed to buy anything! I have this skirt but nothing to go with it. Any suggestions welcomed. I am happy to ignore the pencil skirt if anyone has a better suggestion. My fall back plan is an isabella Oliver nursing dress but as this is the last baby I am lothe to spend money on something I probably won't wear again.

Can you wear wrap dresses? Phase Eight and Boden have quite a few.

With that skirt, you would need a really pretty blouse to make it look less like workwear - perhaps something like this:

(short sleeved)

(long sleeved)

or lovely lace top - might be a bit tight for bf though

Genetics, I think IO are having a 4 day sale if you do end up getting something from there. Yesterday was tops, not sure about the next few days.

There is also some dresses in the outlet......
blue dress

You could probably get a good chunk of the money back by selling on ebay.

There are*

Have realised that dress is actually maternity rather than nursing (baby brain) but it does say it can do both!

Miss scatterbrain, I could get away with a wrap dress but I have scoured boden and can't find one which is the right style and colour combo. They aren't vey winter friendly at the mo. the tops are great. I will go and try them on. Someone suggested that the acid yellow winter colour MIT be good with the blue skirt but I haven't managed to find anything smart enough in that colour.

Ginger io is my back up plan. They have a full priced cobalt blue nursing dress. I am waiting for the dresses to go on offer.

Found this blazer, not for the wedding. Is this a terrible idea? £15? It will be awful right?

Have thought about the tops and they are a bit too feminine for me. I think I would rather have something a bit more structured. The grey one might work though?

lovely blazer - although I would probably wear it with neutrals rather than another bright colour but that's me.

Good luck with your search.
