I'll send you a matching tee santa then we can be joy division twins Grin

Evening!

All this talk of E Alt made me try on my Manolos with my skinny jeans just now, but it just doesn't work on me.

My heels are not pointy enough, or my jeans are wrong (I even tried cuffing the hem) or I am not thin enough. Hmm

I do like her look though, I wonder what jeans she wears. I don't think they are skinnies. Maybe you know santa

Your outfit sounds great one! I can't really do slogan tees or band tees but I was briefly tempted to try the I Marant sweater santa bought recently as they had a lovely blue version in my local dept store.

MarshaBrady · 25/09/2014 19:17

lol Shop yes I can hear the pop! glug from here. New clothing opportunities does sound exciting.

I just knew E Alt would be into Saint Laurent, oh I've got it bad.

Linus I find the Rossis with skinnies really hard, I want to like it, but I feel odd.

shopafrolic · 25/09/2014 19:20

Didn't Alt admit to wearing TS Leigh jeans or am I imagining that?

shopafrolic · 25/09/2014 19:21

It's those shoes though (they are more open at the side) - which ones were they Marsha - I think that's what makes the difference?

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 25/09/2014 19:24

True, more open on the side.

Although I see pins with skinnies and heels so often. I feel a bit mismatched when I do it.

But all I wear is skinnies atm so sometimes I have to do it.

LinusDKD · 25/09/2014 19:24

Did she shop? Interesting

shopafrolic · 25/09/2014 19:32

I read WIT saying the silhouette is changing from skinny bottom half to wider on the bottom and fitted top. I will struggle!

Alt interview mentioning TS jeans

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 25/09/2014 19:34

Hmm no from me too! I haven't done that for years. Remember the maxi skirt, fitted t combo

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 19:37

Her shoes are Saint Laurent now,
I have no idea about the jeans, I need to investigate a bit more,
They look like boyfriends, it looks like she went down a size or two to achieve a bit of straightness while maintaining a tiny bit of slouch,

LinusDKD · 25/09/2014 19:40

Oooh I actually like that, sorry. I love wearing a midi skirt of an A line skirt with a fitted poloneck tee.

I wore that kind of outfit on Christmas Eve last year at my parents: Sportmax skirt, black poloneck tee, black opaques and Jalouses.

MarshaBrady · 25/09/2014 19:43

That sounds lovely Linus. It's been so long, perhaps I should try some new styles

LinusDKD · 25/09/2014 19:57

Just tried my heels with my Jimmies after santa's suggestion and it does look better than the skinnies, but still not quite right.

AmberNectarine · 25/09/2014 20:22

No, I think she wears Baxters as seen here. More of a straight skinny.

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 20:24

linus either downsize in normal boyfriends, my CE ones are 24,
Or get slim fit boyfriends

bettykt · 25/09/2014 20:27

I have some Baxters, but unfortunately I don't have her lovely long limbs Sad although I may try pairing them with animal print heels

LinusDKD · 25/09/2014 20:39

I think my Jimmies are pretty slim fit santa and I don't think I can size down more than the 26 I am wearing currently. Wink

Will try them with my white Baxters tomorrow amber. If it works I might have to buy some more colours. Grin

QueenCardigan · 25/09/2014 20:40

EA is great. She actually wears such simple stuff that on some would look terribly dull but on her just look so cool. I can't do skinny jean/heel combo either. I did it once and spent the whole night feeling totally wrong.

I can't imagine getting back to wide legs and tight tops but I guess it's been years since we dressed like that, that it must be due a revival. I've hung onto my gap 'sexy flare' though that with heels make my legs look amazing.

shopafrolic · 25/09/2014 20:47

I quite often wear my Jimmies with my Florettes - think it looks ok Hmm

Bon soir tout le monde Grin
I've had a hectic day, totally bonkers and frustrating day so I'd like to say cheers Wine to Shop and how much I love the sound of your "dodgy imported scarf" Grin
QueenC I agree about tights on little girls.....I love dressing dd in crazy! bright patterned ones ESP. That and plaits ....so cute.
Betty animal print heels with skinnies=LOVE
Santa funnily enough I've been fancying a ponch for a while....funnel neck,chunky cable, grey specific...moi?

Righto....so, I've dusted down my sparkly hot pants because tomorrow night I'm seeing Kylie. But, alas they've seen better days....what to wear? My feathered head dress is at the cleaners Grin

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 20:58

I wear boyfriends with my Saint Laurent Paris heels,and they are pretty high , think it looks ok too,

I need to buy new heels, low ones, all I have are really high
I think E, alters the length of her jeans,

LinusDKD · 25/09/2014 20:58

Just wear your white jumpsuit with plunging neckline and some tit tape dry Grin

shop you have lovely long slim legs so I bet Jimmies and Floretes look great on you.

Drywhiteplease · 25/09/2014 21:01

Oh and E Alt is one of those very annoying willowy French women who always look uber chic and low maintenance because they'd actually look good in anything.
