[shopafrolic]

40 editions and still going strong! All welcome to talk fashion, beauty and other random things. All tastes and all budgets welcome. Continuing on from here

Totally agree with Dry the jumpsuit I saw a few days ago would sooo suit Marsha!

Dry, one of these days I may actually take up your offer one of these days to come and audit my accessories. Dh bought me a Mulberry purse for Christmas. I realised yesterday, I have never taken it out of the box and no idea where it is. Then again I only found one of dmil's presents to me in Christmas 2012 last summer.

Sleep, I think you're short waisted like me aren't you? Top half is considerably shorter than bottom half? It's the opposite to Marsha and Shop who are both long waisted, esp Marsha.

Black jumpsuit. Friend looked incredible, so had to try. And yes you can all yell at me because the best shoes to wear with jumpsuits are strappy heels. Also it is not silk etc but I'm going for a try.

Would love a very skinny silver belt with it.

Ah what a pita about the dress Sleep.

What a shame Sleep, the problem is definitely the dress!

Hmm now I'm not sure in the jumpsuit. I think it was the pic I saw. Oh well it's not expensive, will try and probably send back.

Linus pretty dress.

Sleep what a shame about the a&o dress, it looked so nice.

Liberty great news on the skirt, it's lovely when you find something really useful that's perfect.

My toes are very chipped teal (I hate Nails Inc), badly need redoing but time is so short ATM. Wonder if I could persuade DS2 to play pedicures today...

Novice I'm down south w/c 29/7/14.... You can make an appointment!!!!
hopefully think you may get teal toes!

You could be on

hopefully, I bow at your feet for being able to think about feet 10 weeks post birth

Novice I think I am on a desperate mission to reclaim my body after six years of pregnancy and BF (still BF, so toes is about all I can reclaim!)

Wearing my YMC slip ons today, have had so much use from them.

Morning. Wow, you lot have shopped a lot . Love that jumpsuit marsha.

Toe cleavage? I've never given it a huge amount of thought so I'm guessing that it doesn't really bother me if I see it. Like others have said though I hate to see toes squashed into shoes.

No shopping for me. I just can't find anything online that I want to order. I'm not entirely happy with my outfit for Saturday night but can't find anything else. I found a silver belt in BR which may jazz the outfit up but they're not doing next day orders at the moment and shopping takes 10-12 days (new distribution centre) so not at all helpful. May have to order the Hobbs one but I want the BR one .

QueenC what did you say? I always imagine something wild when people withdraw, I hate all James Perse clothing it stinks or something

Thanks re jumpsuit. I woke up bolt upright, I ordered it in a frenzy then had social media induced shopping regret. A bit like a hangover without the champers.

I have just ironed all my clothes in one go. big

Oh and I just did not buy any Roland Mouret, you know where, even though there are pencil skirts.

I had to withdraw from posting last week after accidentally using someone's rl name as I post to them on a different place, was mortified (maybe only the lurkers noticed) and been too scared to post since then! But enjoying the links and the chat. Oh and still waiting for the navy gigis to arrive

Oh I love jumpsuits that looks nice Marsha- could you wear strappy heels with a filled in toe?? Yes a silver skinny belt would look great. You are on a shopping roll!
Am off to a formal event this weekend can't decide whether to buy new shoes to cheer up existing dress or new dress to feel good and wear existing shoes- what's better do you think? Budget will not stretch to both plus no real need (watch me but entire new outfit, shoes and bag now!) Will browse around and be back with links.

Well done Marsha! (on the ironing, not buying any RM, and the jumpsuit) Silver belt here.

Glad the skirt is a keeper liberty, it's always nice to get a quality basic at a discount (in theory it leaves more money for frivolities!)

Shame about the A+O dress Sleep, it's beautiful. Annoying when you realise something isn't cut for you. I have a long back and short legs but am not long waisted - it's a minefield!

River Island out for delivery today, yay.

marsha nothing bad but I linked something and then panicked as I was logged into my account on the site. Luckily mnhq assured me that no-one could actually see my personal details but I was stressing about it. I reported it 3 times and emailed them

I have worried about that sort of thing before QueenC and actually you do need to be careful as last year someone here linked something and their RL name appeared in the address line. Was spotted and taken down very fast.

Marsha you are making me laugh with all your shopping guilt! Breathe - it can ALL go back if necessary

I'm fascinated that so many of you understand your bodies so well! I have no idea if I am long or short waisted. All I know is I'm pear shaped and seem to have slightly short arms.

QueenC I've had that jolt in the past. That my rl name and details is being blasted out. But I think no one else can log in and see it.

Pinterest may be the main issue? If you use your rl name on there.

Liberty haha I know. Dh was diligently doing bill cheques and I was ordering jumpsuits. I had a moment of god you've gone crazy . But yes I can return and breathe.

Sleep & Novice I am definitely short-wasited and have real problems with things like skater dresses. There is never enough room between my boobs and my waist & makes me look very stumpy. Think dresses with a v-neck line that flare out from directly under the boobs - empire line I guess - suit me better. I have of the long-waisted types.

Haven't ventured into jumpsuits - suspect I may be too short - but tried on my first playsuit yesterday and actually really liked it. Just not sure about the CPW.

I love feet Marsha. Mine aren't very manicured but I love having brown feet with bright nail varnish.
Am sure yours aren't bad

Blair that is gorgeous, thanks! I'm sales more now so will save for the sales.

Secret ah I see! I've also lost track if any previous names as do many different ones on pin.

Oh Stokey I love that. I don't think height matters at all with jumpsuits, I reckon they look good on petite smaller people.

If that's a bad foot I'll have to open late through fingers and one eye closed

I should say I am impressed by lovely feet. So fear not, as I'm sure all yours are.

tons of Roland Mouret on the Outnet today, but selling out v fast.
