Is viscose worth buying? Theory always seems to use it, any one know if it's ok?

Lovely dress mara and congrats on course.
sleep I'm so with you on the school stuff. 5 weeks down, 2 and a half to go. Dd is getting really anxious about next year as they don't find out till the last week which class they're in and with what friends. One of her friends is apparently ignoring her so lots of tears last night. Dh finds it amusing that I'm getting so stressed having to remember school trips/non uniform/show and tell etc when he deals with life and death every day!

The weathers changed here. Sunny but definitely cooler and windier and expecting rain after school. I know what top and bag I'm wearing tomorrow but shoes/jeans/jacket/cardi will all depend on weather.

QueenCadbury · 04/07/2014 10:07

Yay shop, good decision I think.
marsha like everything, not all viscose is equal. Sometimes it can crease really badly but other times it can hang really nicely and feel really soft. The top I'm wearing today is viscose and I love it.

MarshaBrady · 04/07/2014 10:09

QueenC I love the Filippa K dress I have which is viscose, so soft. I didn't even realise it was that until I looked later at the label to wash it.

I wonder if Theory is good? I may as well order and try.

excellent decision making shop i think you've made the right choice

MarshaBrady · 04/07/2014 10:38

Meh I didn't get it. Not my size anyway.

I'll have to another Regent St shop, Sunday most likely. Shake off that likely hangover Wink

Just waved goodbye to the Choos - I think I'm okay......

LuckySaint · 04/07/2014 11:36

Good choice Shop

Now get yourself over to Bicester and try those :o

maradesbois · 04/07/2014 11:41

Well done shop

marsha I have a theory dress that is viscose. Nice soft fabric, wear it loads.

Have been feeling guilty about spending so much money yesterday and kind of regretting the bag but because they're personalising it no going back. Anyway, will be a nice stroll down bond st to collect it, some imaginary jewellery shopping.

Turquoiseblue · 04/07/2014 11:45

glad you came to a decision Shop.

lib - lovely skirt and shirt. I ordered a few bits from MW with that voucher too. Will link after i get them as still considering.

Spotted these boots yesterday and couldnt resist as have no long black boots atm (since 50/50s had to go) these are lovely soft leather. I missed having long black boots last winter and it s been in my plan to get some, but i also need some other stuff so wont be going back to 50/50s. NOT quite as fabulous as shops pistols/choos but I m pleased.

I also got some fabulous Stella mc underwear - how have I not know about her underwear before this?? The fit is really perfect for me,plus it looks great. Wouldnt be buying FP to be honest but super in the sales!

Have a lovely MU ladies.

Turquoiseblue · 04/07/2014 11:49

and congrats mara on your course and great shopping

Decameron · 04/07/2014 11:54

Shop, it is worth trying to get biker boots too though, I wore mine pretty much constantly in the winter (more than the pistols) and looking forward to getting them out again.

You must be fairly close to me if you are on the Heathrow flight path, Mara! Beautiful dress and bag.

Decided against the scarf for now as have a massive box of scarves and I am sure My-W will get some lovely things in for winter.

Theory is a great label, Marsha I used to buy from there a lot in the good old days when I had a salary!

Good result on the money, Queen, happy shopping tomorrow.

Decameron · 04/07/2014 11:55

I like the boots, Turq. I am still considering having a no spend August and getting the 50/50s in autumn. Though do like grey Fiorentini and Baker too.

Decameron · 04/07/2014 12:12

Last one from me.
Marsha, sorry, you were asking about viscose not Theory. I have mixed experience with viscose, think it can shrink easily but have some viscose clothes which have lasted well.

Have fun at the m/u!

bettykt · 04/07/2014 12:13

Shop yeay sounds like the right decision has been made. You will enjoy them.

Mara well done on getting accepted onto your course. I bet you are so pleased/relieved. Lovely purchases btw.

Liberty great P&J shirt, couldn't see the other link.

Annie hope you manage to cheer yourself up today and re at yourself to something nice at Westfield. Thanks

Linus hope the London sunshine stays with you all weekend. Fingers crossed the rain doesn't arrive tomorrow.

Like Sleep and Marsha my life have been a series of sports days, school assemblies life seems to be getting busier. Due to the weather being hot hot hot I've been ganging out in my £5 cheapo Primark bandeau dresses and Havs 100% cotton and great for the school run, wearing 1 item of clothing is so easy. Am slowly getting into dresses. Bought a Yumi dress yesterday from a dress agency.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 04/07/2014 12:36

shop and liberty PM :)

Linus have a great day shopping and make the most of the weather!

Well done mara, great news and we can help you celebrate tomorrow. Gorgeous dress and bag, I love that you are having it monogrammed.

turq the boots look great, I saw them on your pin and really liked them. And good one on the underwear find.

Right so you will all know me tomorrow as I'm going to wear the stella skirt. Not sure on shoes yet though, suspect it will be a last minute decision.

I'm pretty rubbish with faces so am expecting to remember who each of you are by the fabulous things you're wearing! (novice will be easy, she will just be sitting there sparkling Grin)

LinusDKD · 04/07/2014 12:38

Phew, lunchbreak after manic shopping morning.

Bought lots of beauty/skincare stuff and things for DC but only one item of clothing for myself.

The TS shorts I ordered online but got cancelled were in the sales rack hidden lots of tat and they were in my size so I snapped them up! £18 well spent!

Right, chicken katsu curry awaits. Yum!

santamarianovella · 04/07/2014 12:51

shop you did the right think in keeping just one, and pistols seem to suit you better,and work with your clothes,

amber wow! £35!!!, and I remember you mentioning that your dd birthday is in July very close if not on the same day as my dd?

turq the boots are beautiful and very practical for daily wear, I tried some stellM underwear ,they are beautifully made,but I found the bras don't look good on me.

linus pharmacies are on top of the list of any visitor to london,and even when British people visit continental Europe they usually do big pharmacy shop,for toiletries and cold medicines, I usually love French pharmacies,and can spend hours browsing,

mara great shipping,

one excellent news,

Im doing a novice tomorrow,will fly early morning,and return late at night,will look at 4 properties and need to make a descion on the spot Shock ,

bettykt · 04/07/2014 13:20

Can't believe about 10 posts were sent while I was dithering with my one post so I didn't see your fab boots Turq

Santa happy house hunting for tomorrow, sounds quite hectic but fun at the same time.

Sleepwhenidie · 04/07/2014 13:33

Quick advice please - teachers presents (nursery, they've coped with my 3dcs, so known them 7 yrs and they are fab...-find a piece if jewellery Confused, a Le Pliage and nice hand cream/similar, or a leather heart Smythson key ring..other ideas? I'd like something they can keep...

Nice glass vase? AH cosmetics bag?

shopafrolic · 04/07/2014 13:43

Turquoiseblue · 04/07/2014 13:51
