Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day yesterday. I got taken out for a late lunch and all three ds's were there and didn't argue or fight. result. I fully intended to post last night, but needed to sleep off lunch have an early night!

Ds3 chose this. Perfect colours for me and bless him, he bought it from a shop so I think paid a lot more than it's going for on eBay.

Am so sorry you are still unwell, shop, one and Queen. A good excuse for lying on the sofa though.

Love the &other stories dress stokey. Are you going for it in black?

MarshaBrady · 31/03/2014 17:47

Haha looking forward to it Shop. We watched The Bridge but now that's over we're in no man's land. Need some fluff tv. Shame about the Frame, was it the Garcon? Love the colour of those. Someone should get them (think there's one left size 32).

Turq they are fab. Did you do the 20% discount? I saw a code this morning, but I'm sure you did too.

Stokey I really like it. I love the red orange version too.

Great shopping Justa.

Lovely gift Fed up.

I got a really nice vase from SCP, two cute hand made cards and ds created a new game which we all played. But the best thing was their pure excitement.

maradesbois · 31/03/2014 17:52

linus thanks for scarf link. Yours is so similar, I must have been unconsciously inspired by you wish list! Btw I also have the armor lux mariniere you pinned but in navy, really like it, great quality.

Don't know what to do now, what I really want is the chan luu one at price of the maxmara! Think I do need one with some cashmere content though for cool evenings.

shopafrolic · 31/03/2014 17:58

It was these Marsha

MarshaBrady · 31/03/2014 19:19

Yep love those, but probably should stay away from low rise. Mid or high these days. Usually mid. I'd still be tempted if they had my size as they are Frame and great colour and length.

MarshaBrady · 31/03/2014 19:25

Has anyone got white skinnies? How do you wear them? What's your favourite outfit.

LinusDKD · 31/03/2014 19:27

dry I love that Brora blouse but I'm not sure I can do sleeveless. Maybe now that I've lost weight I can try again.

That Boden dress is nice but I prefer my broderie to be a bit more delicate. Lovely colours though.

mara that Armor Lux mariniere will be one of my next purchases!

Lovely dress stokey!

LinusDKD · 31/03/2014 19:30

I have white Baxters marsha but haven't worn them yet as I bought them in the sales last summer.

I plan on wearing them with bretons (quelle surprise) and maybe with my cobalt and navy Equipment shirts for going out.

I think white skinnies also look good with a denim shirt. I have my eye on a J Crew one but am waiting for a code.

LinusDKD · 31/03/2014 19:37

j crew

This is the shirt. I might have just bought it as I had a 30% off code (unfortunately not valid in the UK)

Drywhiteplease · 31/03/2014 19:53

Marsha I bought white Baxters last summer. Love them.
I wear them with :
Grey long line fitted vest top and silver sandals
Orange silk FC sleeveless shirt and gold Gigis
My old fav White Co swing merino stone jumper, white t underneath...stone trainers
Turquoise vest top and accessories
Etc etc

Remember the Fr Voguette pic???black slouchy sweater, black stilletoes???you'd rock that look

I bought cream skinnies last year and never wore them. I think they'll be too big this summer. Will have to drag them out and give them a try.

justasecond · 31/03/2014 19:56

I like the idea of white skinnies but just never look right on me. I think I am just not used to white on my bottom half. I like the look though, esp with pale chambray, pale yellow, light grey and brights like orange ( I am joining shop in my love affair with all things orange atm)
I saw a lovely pair of pointy orange flats in the LK Bennet outlet at Bicester at the weekend. Looked really good with the khaki jacket I was wearing. They would have been mine if they had my size Sad

Drywhiteplease · 31/03/2014 19:56

Have ordered this will prob return could be the denim dress I'm searching for, versatile, could layer, thinking stripy l/s tops etc..........

justasecond · 31/03/2014 20:01

Oh yes the fr vogue ladies do a good white skinny.

shopafrolic · 31/03/2014 20:03

Oh justa do they have them in Bicester? I might give them a call. They had them last year - pink, orange, turquoise, yellow but I need a 41 and I think they only went to a 40. That said, the gold LKB heels I bought were a 40, the khaki were a 41 so I might pay them a visit. I am loving orange at the moment, totally my happy colour. I wore my orange Zatchel today - love.

MarshaBrady · 31/03/2014 20:21

Well you all convinced me!

Got the current / elliott rolled skinny. They had one left in my size and perhaps it was a sign. Not sure if pocket see-through is an issue with them but will check them out.

And Dry because you said that about the dark top I couldn't help it included this American Vintage.

Dh is working such long hours atm, he might regret leaving me home with an empty quiet room, a Mac and all of you Grin

MarshaBrady · 31/03/2014 20:22

Also I really want to order something from asos. But still waiting for them to process my return. Not sure if this is normal? Annoying when the outnet is so fast. I am loathe to order something else when they take so long, and they don't have a contact number.

shopafrolic · 31/03/2014 20:24

Nice one Marsha - will be interested to hear as the pockets look to be showing through on one pic......
DH is working late tonight, end of quarter. I am sitting on my hands.

MarshaBrady · 31/03/2014 20:24

Yeh I know, hope not. Probably are though.

Drywhiteplease · 31/03/2014 20:33

very you Marsha

MarshaBrady · 31/03/2014 20:36

Very nice Dry. Also can't go wrong with a bit of E Alt white skinny action.

Linus your J Crew shirt is perfect for that.

Annianni · 31/03/2014 20:42

Asos take ages to refund Marsha.

Those Frame are the ones from the last NaP sale.
I tried the le garcon and they were lovely but a very summery wash (and only £50 ish when I tried them)

Evening everyone...
I'm still full of this awful head cold
