[Drywhiteplease]

Following on from here for friendly, funny, frivolous, never free fashion talk....we don't judge, just like seeing nice things. Do come and join ]

Ladies I give you my perfect little black jacket looks horrid on line but IRL it is really nipped in, a lovely cotton jersey waffle weave, all lined, zips on cuffs, pockets and front, collarless which I love, all in all it has everything I love in a jacket. very pleased.

Dd is going to her first proper disco party tonight. She's getting ready upstairs with 3 friends. I've been doing nails. The house smells of nail varnish, body spray, perfume and there is a lot of make up in the bathrooms. I shudder to think how the 13 yr olds will be dressed when they come down. It's quite sweet really but I haven't seen them yet

Fab dress for you Sleep
Dry how lovely. Hope they have fun!

Love that jacket Dry. Sounds very sweet. Bet they have better fashion options that I did at 13. All those Topshop type places would be fun.

Blair I think Atterley Rd is your best bet but will kelp an eye out. But definitely wait for an AR discount, it's pretty regular.

Um keep not kelp

Ah, the first glass is always the nicest. Cheers .

Lovely jacket dry. Great dress sleep.

I love little girls dressing up (and they are still little girls). Yes, the results are usually hideous interesting, but they make for great photos in years to come. We have some howlers of my DSis.

I got the yellow Zara jacket as linked by stokey and I love it. The colour, style & fabric are so lovely and summery. Shame it's unbelievably nasty outside at the moment, but when the sun shines I will wear it to bits. Think it will be good with silk biker T and destroyed jeans

Sleep fab dress!
Lots of photos....surprised at 3/4 outfits and how not too tarty they were. Even the fake tan was well and discretely applied , make up was lovely......I only had to shout "knickers xxx" to one who must have mistaken a t shirt for a dress

Just tried the McQ and the blue Karl dress on for DH and he really likes both and I do too - can't keep both though! Will deliberate for a week . The Mango jacket also arrived and I thought, seeing as the dress it was intended to go with was awful on me that I would send it back, but it's fab, so Stokey and Lib, it looked so good with the jeans and white T I already had on that I just kept it on for SR and got a few compliments .

Just as an aside, I tried some really lovely stuff on in Maje, but do French women have no boobs? Even in a size 3 my chest looked like it was bandaged up and I could barely breathe such a shame, there was a fab lacy peplum top and a cream/gold sort of tweedy shift dress that I loved. Will try and link separately as I keep losing posts when I change page .

Can we see a pic Dry? Of you not the knickers

dress with gold flecks

lacy top - gorgeous colour, would be really lovely if it fitted!

The website is rubbish too - why such tiny pics?

I did a quick whiz around Zara too and they have some lovely summer stuff and great shoes... I agree it's a shame about the weather!

Sorry I'm a bit quiet tonight, busy making a Creeper from Minecraft cake for Ds's birthday

That sounds interesting one!

Sleep Fab McQ dress - very you! I am so pleased I kept the Mango jacket too. It really is perfect w jeans and white T.

Dry that jacket is a great buy. I have pinned it for the sales.

I popped into Warehouse today to try on this silk shirt. It's really lovely but I'm not brave enough for cropped . It would be good with the Stella skirt I think Blair.

Also tried on these sandals in R&B. Not sure about them. The weather is so gloomy sandals just feel strange on. Will keep looking... On an aside, why do the R&B SA's insist on bringing out a bag (or 3) with the shoes??? Very annoying. Does that tactic work?

I notice my fugly sandals are getting the same silent treatment as Sleep's hoodie

Love your Todd's Mara. I have a pair of loafers in that colour except they are Gap from last season. Not quite the same but still!

One, your weight loss is a great achievement so ignore all negative comments.

Shame the Reiss dress wasn't right sleep but it sounds like you still have a couple of choices. I saw from the pic you posted a while back that you have a fantastic figure so bet you look great in just about anything. not envious at all

Sounds like it was a little hectic in your house earlier Dry. No doubt the girls looked considerably older than 13 by the time they left the house . It is so exciting for them.

Not a lot going on for me fashion wise. I returned the monsoon maxi skirt as felt it wasn't right. I did however buy the Fossil 'Sydney' bag in the most gorgeous blue/ turq colour. Their website is playing up so can't link atm. It's the nearest I could find to the trio.

Been fighting a migraine all day so no wine for me tonight .

Liberty lovely I didn't click, I will though. I'm so beat, finished the project. Will be back on board in full link clicking mode tomorrow!

So I'm sure they're very nice and I wasn't doing the silent

It's ok Marsha well done on completing your project. 30 days and then you start shopping, yes?

Haha Liberty yes! Done and invoiced today. The only annoyance is a big wodge goes to nursery but it's much preferred to scrabbling around for ad hoc cc. Should be around sale preview I imagine, goodo! Can't wait.

Have checked out the sandals liberty - am not keen but probably because the fugly shoe is not for me. The models wearing said shoe always look great though and no doubt you will too.

Marsha glad the project went well and is now finished. Nursery fees sound horrendous though.

The main attraction of them Fedup is that they look sooooo comfy! I'm hoping I look cool and directional as a sort of incidental aside

Evening all! Dry love that jacket just checked it out and they only have it in a 10 now. Has everyone in the country bought it?!

I am still neon rockstuds less. Blair, I love the yellow ones, but also quite like the orange ones too.

I meant to say, I tried on a £10k sapphire and diamond bracelet yesterday. It was lovely.

Liberty I not completely convinced re the Clarks sandals but they may look better on. Think they wold have been better if the front was plain rather than with the buckle. I love the warehouse silk top though, does not look too cropped, good with a pencil skirt and slim trousers.
Queenc we are terrible self diagnosing, perhaps we should think about getting down the docs A friend who also has pmt came round earlier and we ate a whole pack of chocolate biscuits as well as the kids leftover dinners then compared stomachs!
Dry your jacket is really lovely
One cake sounds great. I love any kind of cake!
Marsha well done finishing now you can relax for the weekend. Wish I had finished my mountain of ironing, it will hang like a cloud over me all weekend.
Shop hope you are feeling better today.
My topshop bf jeans arrived today. They are not bad are looser round the thighs then slimmer on legs but too short so have ordered the longer ones. I have to admit am not totally convinced about the look. Have yet to see anyone irl i.e my neck of the woods who looks good/styled them the right way. Do you think they will become mainstream like skinnies?

Evening,

liberty not ignoring your fuglies either! Have had terrible Internet connection the last few days but think we've finally sorted it. Been back for a look at them and not for me am afraid but there's definitely a lot to be said for comfort. Can imagine SJP doing the school run in them in a cool/directional way but don't think I could pull it off.

Liberty I liked your sandals a lot. I really like Clarks originals stuff.

Novice PM!!!!!
Thanks everyone....I'm really very chuffed with the jacket. Looks like moss stitch for the knitters among us.

Thanks Amber one vote will do me! I'll do a full report when I finally get my hands on them.
