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.

That TK Maxx link didn't work unfortunately.

JK Kaliko - Hmmm, I should like it as it ticks all the boxes but... I hate the sleeves and the length. I could see my mum in it

Jaegar - too work/office I'm afraid.

Apologies and thank you both

ThePerfectNegroni I can't begin to tell you how bad that Cos dress would look on me! It's gorgeous but the top bit would hang like a cape from my ample chest .

another dress.

and another

I'm enjoying this.

I like the style of that one ItHasANiceRingWhenYouLaugh. I'm not keen on lace which I know sounds bonkers as I liked that Reiss dress but that was a different sort of lace IYKWIM? I don't like the nude underlay although it's preferable to being naked

That Nougat one is busy! Out of stock in a 12 but I know it wouldn't be right.

I want that Reiss one

I like this but look at the price!

Sorry that Alexon just seems too 'old' for me. I know it isn't (I'm 44) but...

another

Ooh, that AT one is very nice indeed! Shocking price though never happy am I.

Another

Sorry, double post.

crushed velvet!

Hmmm, velvet. Could look great, better for Christmas? It would make my chest look enormous but probably worth a try at that price

Just seen this linked on another thread - soooo over budget. Telling myself it's the wrong green anyway!

This is strange. I emailed Reiss earlier to see if they'd had any Lrkies dressed returned. They've just replied by email (which I've read on my phone) saying it's available to order in a 12 on their site and included a link. I've clicked through (on my phone) and ordered it.

Just checked the site via my PC and it's back in stock in all sizes. How strange.

Finger's crossed it's suitable. I'm going to head into town next week to HoF to try the Temperley and Therapy dresses too.

Thank you all!

too office?

too office?

Have you tried the Reiss one on already Sorrel? Do we need to keep looking for a back up option? That Vionett dress is awesome!

At this rate will be on Part 4 of the Winters thread by the morning!

No I haven't tried it as I've never seen a 12 in store (limited shopping round here). I tend to get on well with Reiss though and have a couple of their dresses in a 12 so fingers crossed.

That Vionnet dress is beautiful isn't it?

All suggestions for back ups are gratefully received. I so rarely find anything that's perfect that I tend to buy things as I find them, just in case!

Which one of you is Katharine on Pinterest? I've noticed you following me. It can only be a Mumsnetter as your boards have far too many things we've discussed on here! I'm JoeyEmma on there x

This boden cardi in mulberry looks great for us winters.

Can i ask...i am cool winter and was wondering where i could find a colour swatch that doesnt cost the earth..you know the kind that has samples of the colours that suit you. Thanks!!
