Batman tee sounds good!

herecomesthsun · 14/09/2014 19:12

hi, I have been about in Style and Beauty and elsewhere for about 6 years but don't usually post on the MNV, though I did on an earlier incarnation of it. I am off to a college reunion and want to look elegant! (it is black tie but not gowns apparently)

herecomesthsun · 14/09/2014 19:14

I have also been a bit cheeky and posted here I really like the pic in the link!

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2014 19:14

Here do you have a budget in mind?

LinusDKD · 14/09/2014 19:17

Welcome here!

Your outfit sounds perfect one.

Great Acne purchases marsha. Did you buy an Acne scarf last winter as well?

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2014 19:18

this one Not really a wrap

This is a bit too complicated

AmberNectarine · 14/09/2014 19:18

Hello here, welcome back. IMO Helen Moore does the best faux fur - I have a lovely stole from last year and she does beautiful boleros

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2014 19:20

Linus thanks yes cornflower blue last year. I really like the shape and size. I think Liberty was keen too. But don't want to distract her with 25% off news.

AmberNectarine · 14/09/2014 19:20

I really fancy this piece of insanity]]

LinusDKD · 14/09/2014 19:20

I know this is not white or silver but nice nevertheless here

shrug

LinusDKD · 14/09/2014 19:21

Oh crap, it's OOS, sorry.

herecomesthsun · 14/09/2014 19:24

I am not poor (although I like a bargain). The one I posted was on Amazon for about £60 reduced from £80.That seems a reasonable amount.

I also saw this but I think I want something more aspiring to elegance that will make me look less like a furby

LinusDKD · 14/09/2014 19:28

this is elegant

LinusDKD · 14/09/2014 19:30

amber are you WIT. Hmm.

herecomesthsun · 14/09/2014 19:36

I get chest infections easily and the college hall can be quite draughty. I have a beaded Biba shrug from the summer but I thought it might be good to have something warmer to put over my shoulders. I don't really want a full on faux fur jacket though as I think that would be a bit bulky, I'd like to keep the line of my dress. I really liked the Dents one as is cut quite high and above the waist but looks substantial enough to snuggle into.

OneLittleLady · 14/09/2014 19:49

amber I LOVE that! I would totally wear it with pride

Welcome to here

I think it might have to be the batman tee. there'll be a lot going off with clashing patterns of the jacket and the scarf so bright pink might just be a smidge too much. Batman tee is grey so a little more subtle despite the bat symbol on it!

herecomesthsun · 14/09/2014 20:17

I have been watching this but decided against it.I suddenly thought of Pharrell Williams in the Blurred Lines video, I am not sure that is the vibe I want to be channelling!

herecomesthsun · 14/09/2014 20:18

I like Amber's stole but not for this occasion I don't think!

Fedupnagging · 14/09/2014 20:41

Hi there here. How about this? I tried it on in store earlier in the year and it's lovely. There was also a long sleeve version.

This is nice and in the sale too.

This is lovely and fluffy!

Marsha love the blue jumper you linked. I have a lot of blues and greys. In fact am wearing a navy t and grey sweats ATM. (am obv v glam tonight)

One good luck for tomorrow-you will be fine and I expect others will be just as nervous as you. Your outfit sounds perfect. Ds2 starts his new college course tomorrow and if he can find clean clothes to wear it will be a bonus never mind coordinated Grin

QueenCardigan · 14/09/2014 20:48

amber you just have to get that. It's perfect winter colours. The boutique I was in the other day sells Helen Moore stuff and I was really tempted but think I'd probably look a Wally Grin.

Love navy and grey marsha

Welcome here

one best of luck my lovely lady. Batman tee is absolutely perfect for you. Have a fabulous day.

AmberNectarine · 14/09/2014 21:07

Well Linus, the resemblance has been remarked upon.

Seriously, I met the lady herself last week - she is about half my size!

Here I am modelling my one last Xmas!

Will have to catch up properly later but needed to post, I'm stuck on a train with a bunch of drunk people squeezed into the seat next to me - clearly not heard of personal space! I had a last minute invite to radio 2 live in Hyde park festival, a really fun day (Blondie was there!!)

Welcome Here, I haven't looked at all the links but I'm sure you've had lots of good advice!

Amber I saw wit's pics of the night on pin but don't think you were in any of them. (Omg, the other day she made a terrible comment about not being able to set foot in primark but sending her nanny instead!)

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 14/09/2014 22:13

Oh dear just read that back, too many exclamation marks. I've been drinking wine all day...

shopafrolic · 14/09/2014 22:15

No time to catch up çe soir but I just wanted to wish One all the best for tomorrow. You'll be fab. Everyone will be nervous. Just be yourself x
Am watching In Vogue:The Editor's Eye. It was a documentary on Sky Atlantic which I downloaded. Well worth a watch if you can find it. Back tomorrow.

Hello, just popping in to wish One best of luck for tomorrow, relax and enjoy it.

Also Justa thanks for offer to borrow your bag, very kind (and typical of the loveliness of Vogue!) but I really like the gold one and will take that.

Trust that we are on for 22nd evening, can't wait Smile.
