It's hideously styled but this is actually a nice white jacket, for those who like such things.

MrsCampbellBlack · 04/05/2014 20:56

Pink peonies and her sister ivory lane, both reputedly make mucho money from their blogs despite being very young and not the best writers.

Also dabbling with preppy - classy girls wear pearls. But find the whole modest morman thing fascinating. And yes I have evenings to fill at the moment

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 04/05/2014 21:12

Also fascinated by modest Mormon stuff, in a purely observational way - not interested in living it.

Am interested in making mucho money from my blog, though. I do have more shoes to buy, after all Smile

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 04/05/2014 21:13

Thanks, Remus, but am moving away from bikers - I have quite a few. I like the more classic cropped jacket / Chanel shape, more, at the moment.

MelonKim · 04/05/2014 21:14

I've never heard of modest Mormons. There's a novel - the 19th wife

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/05/2014 21:15

Will keep an eye out, Belinda. Is there nothing in Zara?

DesperateHousewife21 · 04/05/2014 21:25

I had a look in zara the other day, they are clearly going for yellow atm...not my best colour. Was toying with the idea of coral skinnies from there, still cant decide.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 04/05/2014 21:29

I think there are quite a few US blogs written by women who like to dress very modestly and are quite house work focused. I don't relate to either of those points.

Remus - I haven't had a good, child free look at Zara for a few weeks. It's time. I love yellow but must approach w caution.

You aren't alone in your fascination, MrsCB www.salon.com/2011/01/15/feminist_obsessed_with_mormon_blogs/

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/05/2014 21:41

Terrible pic V hard to tell if it's any good or not.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/05/2014 21:42

Yikes Do real people actually buy such things?

MelonKim · 05/05/2014 06:50

I can't get the excitement of the dull domesticity of Mormon blogs.

MrsCampbellBlack · 05/05/2014 07:00

I like the fashion mostly. Its all incredibly staged as they don't work but wear rockstuds to 'run errands'.

MelonKim · 05/05/2014 07:05

oh I am looking at the wrong one then- link

MelonKim · 05/05/2014 07:16

yowsers, a romper.
we have plymouth brethren near here. never far from a denim skirt

MelonKim · 05/05/2014 07:25

i hate that cheesy blogger thing of asking the readers a question at the end - so naff

KosherBacon · 05/05/2014 07:25

I got into this Mormon blog for a while a bit ago. I think it was the maroon and mustard family photos and the kids names. Laikynn?!?

MelonKim · 05/05/2014 07:36

god and her video of her holiday - they arent short of money are they?

KosherBacon · 05/05/2014 08:01

I always wonder about money and Mormon blogs. Mums don't seem to work and they seem to have money for big houses, big cars, lots of kids and lots of clothes. All at under the age of 30. I know Salt Lake City has a lower cost of living but...

MrsCampbellBlack · 05/05/2014 08:12

The big bloggers like pink peonies apparently make $30-40k a month from affiliate links. Plus all the free stuff they get.

I also assume family money. I find the forbidden stuff like tea and coffee interesting and their 'garments'

MelonKim · 05/05/2014 08:20

how would pink peonies EXIST without her pop of colour? will she die?

noddyholder · 05/05/2014 08:45

I never look at blogs might have to have a peek

KosherBacon · 05/05/2014 08:56

We are all in the wrong game. $30-40k a month and free louboutins? I need to quit the glittering world of NHS middle management and start a blog with a pop of colour.
