There's a couple on the Outnet Blair but I don't have one myself.

LinusDKD · 01/04/2014 21:13

What is the difference between chambray and denim?

I ordered a nice J Crew denim shirt yesterday in a dark wash but they also do a lighter one. I think it's called Keeper. Will try and link.

libertychick · 01/04/2014 21:15

Thanks for asking that Linus. I can't figure out the difference between chambray and denim either - Mig where are you - you can always answer these type of questions? Smile

LinusDKD · 01/04/2014 21:16

keeper

libertychick · 01/04/2014 21:17

BTW I have this one from Oasis - bought it quite a while ago. It gets a lot of wear. I'd like another one though, in a darker colour with less obvious buttons.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/04/2014 21:17

Was just looking at that one Linus! :) It's £78 here though. I like the light wash.

No idea re denim/chambray - unless it's just that chambray is thinner?

Will check out the outnet shop, thanks!

libertychick · 01/04/2014 21:18

Cross post - the keeper looks like the type of one I want!!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/04/2014 21:19

I like that liberty, good to know you wear it lots.

Annianni · 01/04/2014 21:22

I used to have a mini Dry, well done.
And dh has a huge black truck thing that's usually muddy
I forgot to say that the navy mac was big size wise.

Who was on about fit builders?
Dh used to be one and still has the 6 pack... :o

Marsha those plain Sam E flats we liked are in the Shopbop sale.

libertychick · 01/04/2014 21:26

Goes with lots of things Blair. My favourite outfits with it are with black straight leg Levi curve jeans and a white vest and grey leather converse or red ballet flats. I also really like it with this skirt and these flats for dress down days at work. (BTW Thanks again to MrsR who gave me the idea for that particular outfit)

shopafrolic · 01/04/2014 21:29

It's a nightmare having your card details stored on the Outnet continuing my love of all things orange

LinusDKD · 01/04/2014 21:30

blair I did get it in the sales with an extra discount. I hope it's nice because the last denim shirt I bought I never wore. Blush

It's an Asos one and wasn't £££ but it just looks wrong on me. The wash is not flattering so I need to get rid of it.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/04/2014 21:31

Sounds lovely liberty :) I would wear it with a coloured or printed skirt too I think. If i was braver, white jeans.

shopafrolic · 01/04/2014 21:31

Sleep am about to PM you

libertychick · 01/04/2014 21:36

Great necklace Shop.

One of the women I work with wears a denim shirt with a floral pencil skirt Blair and it looks great. I've worn mine with white M&S slim cut chinos - not brave thighs too big enough for white jeans.

Topazandpearl · 01/04/2014 21:40

Hello all, I have that babyliss brush mara and liberty. It is not a miracle worker but does make a noticeable difference. Normally after blow drying, I have to go over with straighteners to get rid of frizz, but with this I don't. Definitely worth the £30.
I have confessed to my spreadsheet before, and my CPW calculations....

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/04/2014 21:40

Nice one Linus, will be interested to hear what it's like! I really hope j crew start doing discount codes in the UK soon. Their US ones are so good, like 25% off.

That does sound fab liberty. Unfortunately I don't think I could get away with even a chambray (not denim!) shirt at my work... we don't even have dress down fridays.

Drywhiteplease · 01/04/2014 21:40

Yey Anni ....I got you right! Did you get the FC navy mac as well as aMber or was it you who linked it the other day?

Right I've given myself a talking to and the broderie top is going back...i don't need it and it isn't perfect.

Shop love the necklace

One hope you are ok.

Well done Dry

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/04/2014 21:47

Great necklace shop :) will go with lots.

LinusDKD · 01/04/2014 21:50

blair I get so many J Crew codes and I always check if it works in the UK so I can share but they hardly do.

shop forgot to say that that new shoe brand you linked to have some nice ballerinas. One pair looks a lot like some Lanvins I have on my wishlist.

maradesbois · 01/04/2014 23:50

liberty and topaz you've sold me on the anti-frizz brush! Sold out on amazon but am going to track one down...

blair Smile at fashion spreadsheets, you have the mind of an accountant! dh keeps one to manage his wine fridge cellar.

linus I have the jimmy choo lower heel black patent pump, think its about the same height as the gianvito r ones you linked. Love the height, wanted the higher ones until the sales lady pointed out that the lower ones looked better as I could actually walk in them.

dry no merc here, another big German brand though.

Drywhiteplease · 02/04/2014 07:50

Today I'm ignoring the clouds and I'm dressing for spring:
BR Sloane fit 3/4 navy trousers
Navy and white breton
Red fitted cardi
Red ballet flats ;
(Need replacing)

Liberty .... I m sure it s not the case! But I get the 'something nice' want?!
Waiting on my dress to arrive - hopefully by early next week.
Sleep - fabulous SM sweater. Which dress did you choose ? The orange ?
Dry, aw don't feel bad! You re returning them too.
Queen - did you order a spring jacket?

shopafrolic · 02/04/2014 08:32

Turq honestly, come to a MU - we're all very normal!
Morning all!
