shop the outnet puts exact measurements on all their items so in theory you should be able to compare to an existing top (rather than your body as it's a loose shape)

AmberNectarine · 02/12/2014 13:25

That Equipment top is nice but definitely a summer navy.

shopafrolic · 02/12/2014 13:28

I wondered if it looked too soft Amber. Still getting to grips with this!

DryWhiteplease · 02/12/2014 13:30

shop cold, dry and sunny. Perfect for being out. This could change though. DH was out in pouring rain a couple of weekends ago. When you said MrShop was coming up to shoot I got excited as DH off on Sat, until I saw "tomorrow"..... Imagine if they'd met Grin

Would they sense it!? I have feeling we are somehow connected Confused Grin

AmberNectarine · 02/12/2014 13:35

Also are you Natural Dramatic? In which case it's too N, I think.

shopafrolic · 02/12/2014 13:36

Thought we'd lost you for a while there Marsha :)
YY - I think they'd know. Good stuff about the weather. He's leaving here at 4am if he wakes DS up I'll kill him!

shopafrolic · 02/12/2014 13:37

Amber I've never done the style day but the woman who got my colours wrong suggested I was Classic Dramatic Hmm - no idea.

MarshaBrady · 02/12/2014 13:43

Shop I know, I'm here, trying not to get sidetracked by pretty things to order for a while, got the Matches 30% off today. Will wait for Liberty to drop further as have a voucher.

Meant to say ages ago, no to selling the wedding dress it wasn't in great nick anymore.

I like the top a lot, but not sure on the right winter colour.

maradesbois · 02/12/2014 14:06

Afternoon,

Can't quite believe its afternoon already, have just wasted about 1.5 hours in tk maxx but came out with the following:

this cashmere jumper but mine was only £25 & quality is v good.
A RL home Christmas tablecloth with a mistletoe pattern
Crackers
Stocking fillers
Niederegger Lübeck chocs - I can't have Christmas without them but maybe should look at giving up sugar in the new year à la QueenC. Two jeans sizes!!!

Topaz when we were little my dp stuck to the 'Irish' way of doing it but now I start a bit earlier as we're often away for New Year and seems like a waste not to enjoy the decs for longer. Not too long though as tree starts going brown after a while. Was lovely to see you too. Will say it again, love your hair that length Smile.

[Dry] bet your house smells amazing atm with all the festive pudding experimentation.

Have some work to do now, must crack on. Back later.

maradesbois · 02/12/2014 14:08

Oops Topaz I didn't mean that your hair looked like the 'see you Jimmy' man! Grin

LinusDKD · 02/12/2014 15:16

Saw this in Stylist magazine and thought of you dry

DryWhiteplease · 02/12/2014 16:41

Oh linus I really love that jumper.
And shop I meant to say! I loved that black dress you linked for me a few days ago. It's VERY cold here actually....tell your DH wondering where he's going?

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 02/12/2014 20:21

DH has no idea where he's going. I quote "up one motorway, across another and it's at the end" helpful.
I ordered this Boden sweater today in the hope it solves some Xmas eating out issues.
Decorated the tree today, no time to sew today so I have blocked out tomorrow morning to try!

santamarianovella · 02/12/2014 21:23

I liked the sweater when I saw it this morning on pin shop, shop, looks like a good choice.

I have one Xmas party to attend on Thursday,and another one Saturday, former one is sort of small and casual, so will wear VB cream shirt dress, the one on Saturday, is formal one, so will wear the dressier sleevless Bruno one, and then I have about 3 more to attend , and we are hosting one.it makes my head hurt thinking how to plan outfits, Sad I hate party season,

I'm on a short visit to Paris, work stuff and catching up with my parents, helped my dad pickup an early Xmas gift for my mum this afternoon, the shops were bursting with people it was just madness,i dashed into a nearby place and came back 20 minutes later and still my dad wasnt called to pay! Shock . have just enjoyed a yummy home cooked meal with them, dessert made me think of amber Grin we had pineapple macaron they came in an exquisite pineapple shaped box. Mainly bought the macaron for the box itself.will get some for dcs,as they love macarons,

Wouldn't it be fun, if mrshop, and mrdry meet??,

shopafrolic · 02/12/2014 21:27

Meant to ask Amber will you change the name of your blog?

GeorginaWorsley · 02/12/2014 21:39

liberty
Sorry for late reply, manic afternoon with school pick ups and dentist!

I have some slim or skinny navy ones, not sure if name tbh.
Very sift stretchy denim.
Also have some sort of grey snakeskin effect ones that are more summery

The mint velvet ones are the Houston and the ones with triple zips.

LinusDKD · 02/12/2014 21:42

Mmmm pineaple macarons. I've never seen those in the shops. Might have to go into town just to try one. Wink

Love that jumper shop!

Topazandpearl · 02/12/2014 22:29

Haha mara re: hair Grin

Another thing that holds me back from too early decs is DS's birthday being in the second week of December. I always felt that he should have his cards up for a decent few days before starting on Christmas, combined with not wanting the tree to dry up too soon.

Novice you will be great!

Hello to Georgina.

Your outfits sound great Santa.

Love the thought of mrDry and mrShop meeting. What would they say?!

Topazandpearl · 02/12/2014 22:34

This silk top and this cashmere jumper in both navy and grey arrived today. They are all keepers. (I have given them to DH to give me for Christmas - we do a lot of that!)

libertychick · 02/12/2014 22:41

Thanks Georgina
I will check them out

Really like that Boden jumper shop.

Good buys topaz. I like your gifting style.

DryWhiteplease · 02/12/2014 22:43

Ooooh Topaz love that website, some great worky stuff, never heard of it before. Lovely silk top and jumpers btw.

Ugh. My poor ds. Recovered well enough to be at school these last 2 days. He woke up an hour ago and was seriously sick. Thank goodness for our nanny. She cleaned up for me while ds clung on to me. He's asleep now bless him.Sad

Amber, that jumper is divine. Is merino wool the really thin wool?

QueenC, please tell dh that your marriage won't survive another 10 years if the beard accompanies you on this trip! Or better, give him an incentive, why not tell him his weekend will be reeeeeallly good fun if the beard goes!Wink

Love that link to the silk top. I don't wear those well but that's gorgeous.

LinusDKD · 03/12/2014 07:33

Morning!

Poor DS novice I hope it's just a one off.

Wearing another one of my Rails shirts today as I'm stuck in a style rut at the moment.

I need to start wearing some skirts and my J Crew pixi pants more often as jeans and a shirt are getting a bit boring.

Skipped my morning run for the second time this week Blush I need to motivate myself again.

DryWhiteplease · 03/12/2014 07:53

Shop clear, frosty day up her! hope MrShop has his vest on and a hip flask

novice your poor dcs!
