Continuing. From here some of us may have jetted off to far flung foreign parts, but we're still friendly, fabulous even in the heat wave and full of frivolous fashion talk. Come and join us Smile

I LOVE this colour grey but not sure about the style.

I like it on others but not sure it would suit me. Maybe I'll go and try them on when I'm in London.

libertychick · 21/08/2014 12:57

They are gorgeous Linus.

LinusDKD · 21/08/2014 13:50

For marsha

LinusDKD · 21/08/2014 13:52

less expensive

LinusDKD · 21/08/2014 13:54

a lot of polyester but a bit more casual looking with the denim trimming.

MarshaBrady · 21/08/2014 16:33

Oh love the APC one Linus! I am very tempted!

LinusDKD · 21/08/2014 16:39

You should try it on marsha, it looks really 'you'!

For shop a camo shirt

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 16:46

Definitely try the APC one Marsha - it's perfect for you. Linus hits the mark again.
Not sure on the camo shirt - looks a bit too paintballer for me I think. wishes camo would stop autocorrecting as camp

bettykt · 21/08/2014 17:07

I liked that camo shirt you linked Linus but am Shock at JCrew's pricing. You would pay around £7o for it, Americans £50 isn and us practically £90. C'mom J Crew sort your UK pricing out! Weren't BR a bit like that until they had a bit of a re-think?

Anyway rant over Grin I'm working in a few weeks time and am starting to think about work clothes, not too many as I'm only doing a few hours. I fancy changing my black clothing to navy blue but never know what colour shoes to wear with navy trousers/skirts. Been reading the navy thread with interest.

Blair were you talking about Le Pliage the other day? I have this one it's a good work horse bag, but will need to buy another colour if I change my workwear from black to navy. Saw a white one at the weekend on the beach being used as a beach bag, it looked good. Wants a white one now

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 17:11

Betty I used my orange one on the beach in Bournemouth and it has black marks all over it now :( White would just be too scary (although I have washed one successfully)

bettykt · 21/08/2014 17:16

Think I'd better stick with a dark coloured one then Shop I love your orange one.

Sorry for all the typos in my post Blush

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 17:21

I love it too - I am trying to figure out the best way to try and clean them off - am slightly concerned it might be tar! Hmm

MarshaBrady · 21/08/2014 17:44

Hello I need some lovely vogue action to disconnect from work for a bit.

I am >< close to ordering the APC coat but am getting hot flashes from the cost Grin

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 18:00

Chants - do it, do it. It's been linked on here. It will sell out. It's definitely worth a try - if you don't love it - return it - simples.

MarshaBrady · 21/08/2014 18:12

I wonder if I should check the size in store first, I'm in the area of an APC shop on Saturday.

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 18:37

BUY IT!

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 18:37

MarshaBrady · 21/08/2014 18:40

MarshaBrady · 21/08/2014 18:42

One thing only.

This is mine

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 19:12

I'll indulge you while you dither. This is mine
Who knew I could love a belt so much but it is a thing of beauty and every time I put it on it makes a dull outfit look finished.
The other will be my Pistols, but since I haven't worn them yet I didn't feel they had earned a link!

libertychick · 21/08/2014 19:14

Acne skirt for me...

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 19:15

Takes a bit of the credit for Lib's (that is the one I linked for Marsha right?)

libertychick · 21/08/2014 19:16

Yes I agree that belt is a star buy Shop.

libertychick · 21/08/2014 19:16

Yup it is! Take more credit and some Flowers Smile

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 19:18

Aaaaw - shucks - thanks. :)

Sits on Marsha's shoulder and impatiently prods her in the ear........
