Linus - I know why you mean, olive the loo of harems and jumpsuits in pictures but not sure in reality (also I had a purple jersey one I loved when I was 11, it had a cool belt with butterflies on it, no one else had it as A very cool auntie got it for me I adored, but not sure I could do the trend again.

Queen - know what you mean about white briderie tops, I got a lovely off white on in mango recently and they had a really nice white version of it - will see if I can link for you later - I can't do white white as it s too bright for me otherwise I would love to have gotten it.
Speaking of hols - shop love Provence you lucky thing! Marsha did you book in the end ?

libertychick · 20/05/2014 21:57

Shop could I be really cheeky and pounce on the Linus Jimmies? Smile rapidly devises plan to stay chubby while everyone else shrinks and mop up the clothes Grin

QUEENC in the name of all that is holy will you wear that Jaegar top??? Maybe it will get a stain sometime but it's just crazy to have spent that much on something that is perfect for you and then never wear it!!! In fact, you need to go cold turkey on this - I am now INSTRUCTING you to wear it on the school run tomorrow.

shopafrolic · 20/05/2014 22:02

Liberty the Jimmies are yours. Pm me if you want me to post or wait till MU.
Linus hope you don't think my post was rude. I loved my time with your Jimmies! Hope you're happy me passing them on to another Voguette?

turq olive the loo Grin
liberty Shock. Tomorrow is toddler group so definitely not! I'll take it on holiday with me next week. Maybe.

Drywhiteplease · 20/05/2014 22:14

I saw that too Queen might name change to OlivetheLoo

And please as a former employee it's JAEGER look JAEGER .... Takes deep breath, apologises for outburst but I've been holding it in for 18months.
Queen wear the top!

maradesbois · 20/05/2014 22:18

linus I looked in kenzo this week and was so tempted by a blue summer print jumpsuit. Am refusing to buy any more clothes until I shift at least 5kgs on 5:2 though, at any price but especially not £££ ones.

queenc I love white shorts. Have a linen pair from gap that use loads in summer, wore last week with armor lux navy mariniere when weather got a bit cooler. Navy and white or cream is probably my fave colour combination, they were even the colours of my bugaboo!

maradesbois · 20/05/2014 22:21

queenc sorry, forgot to add that the point of my white shorts post was to say that my legs are almost as white as the fabric but don't think it matters.

libertychick · 20/05/2014 23:01

Yay MU is fine Shop as long as you don't mind bringing them in with you?

Abject apologies oh great royal French pendant Dry Grin

libertychick · 20/05/2014 23:05

ha ha have just figured out the olive the loo
Thanks for all the chat tonight, you have kept me going through 2 hours of work followed by some study...

Turquoiseblue · 21/05/2014 07:12

SmileGrinGrin Oh dear - I love them too - not olive the loo , best typo ever! Apols.

AmberNectarine · 21/05/2014 07:26

Linus I have those Goldsigns (in three washes, ahem) and agree, size down - they are very stretchy.

LinusDKD · 21/05/2014 08:00

Morning!

liberty shop you have my permission to pass on the Jimmies. Grin

I bought a size 27 in the Goldsigns as I thought a 26 might be a bit too optimistic even if they size big.

Might pop into H&M this morning and try on some harems and maybe a jumpsuit. And some shorts if I'm brave enough.

Drywhiteplease · 21/05/2014 08:06

liberty Grin

You will be horrified, but I'm wearing the same dress to work again in the same week Shock ....but I do love it and it's my fav sunshine work dress, different accessories so I think I'll be ok Wink

libertychick · 21/05/2014 08:10

I do that a lot Dry. If you like something and it's clean why not?

Linus enjoy your H&M try on session.

MarshaBrady · 21/05/2014 08:50

Morning! I need to catch up. Haven't got much shopping news as I get paid next week (not that I'm counting down at all Wink)

This weather is amazing, so nice to have sunshine.

MarshaBrady · 21/05/2014 08:59

And Aveda are in my good books again as they fixed my hair, it might be a .25 inch too short but I can overlook that Wink

Am out on Saturday night somewhere really nice with friends, can't wait! Still need stuff to wear, will be tricky.

shopafrolic · 21/05/2014 10:57

Glad you got the hair sorted.
Liberty I might have to post them to you as I'm on an epic clear out and need stuff gone.... is that ok?
Linus Flowers - you're ace. please come to the MU

Linus the tile print Leighs are almost completely oos online now Hmm

LinusDKD · 21/05/2014 11:29

Gosh secret! When I ordered them they still had most sizes left. I saw them on two make-up blogs and that's what made me order them. Guess I wasn't the only one being influenced by bloggers.

The aubergine ones are OOS in my size now but that's probably a good thing as I would have been tempted to order them.

My H&M shopping trip was quite fruitful.

I bought some lovely supercomfy harem trousers which I am wearing at the moment. Not sure if I will be confident enough to wear the out of the house though.

I also bought some shorts which I am still not sure about so I will ask DH's opinion this evening. They are soo cute but I am not confident about my legs and they are quite short.

Will try and find links.

Oh and I really wanted to try on a jumpsuit but ther were none to be found! Maxi dresses galore but no jumpsuits.

LinusDKD · 21/05/2014 11:31

these shorts in the flowery pink.

LinusDKD · 21/05/2014 11:32

this tunic is lovely IRL and will be the perfect beach cover-up.

LinusDKD · 21/05/2014 11:34

harem pants

LinusDKD · 21/05/2014 11:40

Oh and the Oasis fuschia flats arrived today in the size up.... And now they are slightly too big.

I will put an insole in them as I really like them but they really should do half sizes.
