Still going strong as we head into 2015. Not a chance I can beat the vol 50 intro from the lovely Dry so I won't even try. Lots of newbies have joined the fun, why don't you? Come tell us your sales splurges. All welcome for fun fashion chat.

Thanks one. A calippo has never tasted so good.

stokey meant to say thank you for passing novices jumper to me. If it's no good I'll pass it on. And novice thank you for your generosity.

You know what I fancy QueenC? a fruits of the forest Solero but i haven't seen one in years. You know, for my fever.....

libertychick · 06/01/2015 13:20

Soleros - yum!

MarshaBrady · 06/01/2015 13:29

Betty I got these ones. Not a huge discount, but better than nothing I suppose.

OneLittleLady · 06/01/2015 13:42

Quietly revising for my exam tomorrow. Just hope I can hold off the fever that's coming and going while i'm in the exam. Feel pretty nervous about it tbh but I'm sure i will at least get a pass.

Today i am wearing black fleece lined tights, a knee length pink neoprene full skirt, a grey lace trimmed vest top and a cream, pink and grey wool cardigan. it's 80% wool and of all places came from primark. I have to say, primarks fabric choices have got so much better over the last couple of years. So long as you check labels, you can get some pretty good stuff, it's just a case of avoiding the heavy on poly stuff

bettykt · 06/01/2015 14:02

Marsha I like those, just checked their website and phew the ones I bought are back at full price, glad I got them with the 20% off phew, would have been gutted.

QueenC hope you feel better soon, I feel like poo myself, the return of the head cold that will not go away no matter how many Vicks day/night tablets I take.

Fedudp I'm glad it's not just me who has a bit too tight Pettys. I thought I'd ordered the wrong size at first as they felt really small. They do give a bit, I have tan suede ones but I still have to wear very thin socks with them.

MarshaBrady · 06/01/2015 14:04

Betty phew that was lucky! Which ones did you get?

bettykt · 06/01/2015 14:28

Marsha The Vintage Rose ones only ordered at the weekend so still waiting for them to arrive, hope they're as warm as they're meant to be.

justasecond · 06/01/2015 14:31

Sorry to hear about the burglary Sleep how awful, glad dc are ok though.
Hope you feel better One and Queen holiday sounds great, I keep meaning to book ours too.
Nice pyjamas Marsha I should have got some too when I ordered these www.hush-uk.com/daywear/trousers_jeans/wool_mix_trousers_black.htm Pyjamas is the sort of thing I always forget to buy, consequently I still wear the same pairs from 10+ years ago which look really bad now Blush
I hope the trousers are good as I have been looking for some non denim/ non skinny casual trousers for ages. I got S but the reviews suggest they are a bit big so will have to see..
dds have gone back today and I am home with ds, has felt like a proper break today. Back to work tomorrow though.

MarshaBrady · 06/01/2015 14:36

Justa they look great. I'm exactly the same with pjs - mine were holey. Last minute here.

Betty I was going to guess the vintage rose, I nearly got those and saw that they were fp again this morning.

QueenC and One hope you both feel better soon.

QueenCardigan · 06/01/2015 14:47

one I'm afraid I don't have any Soleros in my freezer. Will vienetta do? Or fab ice lollys?

Just watched the boy in the dress which was on on New Years day. Not sure if I'm feeling emotional as I'm I'll but I was crying by the end!

OneLittleLady · 06/01/2015 16:09

I'll have a Fab please QueenC!

shopafrolic · 06/01/2015 16:09

Love those trousers Justa - wish they did longer leg lengths :(

OneLittleLady · 06/01/2015 16:32

Lovely trousers Justa and it's nice to see you back here btw

Feeling pretty rotten, waiting for my next dose of beechams and honey. I don't feel as bad as I did yesterday though so that's a bonus, hopefully i'll feel even better tomorrow. Can't wait for Friday though as that's when I've got my tickets to see Wicked, very excited about it

Drywhiteplease · 06/01/2015 18:42

Ho said Solero? Grin I love the tropical fruit one.Yummmm.
QueenC don't go near the Vienetta, anything with dairy will make you I'll again.
Two successful purchases coming up.............
Betty love the Hush, rose pjs....I got a Cath Kidston robe for my birthday, so pretty.

Drywhiteplease · 06/01/2015 18:52

boring I know I have hit jackpot. The perfect boring camel work skirt.
Wool,pockets,exposed zip,above the knee, bargain ....will wear it to death with pale blue and brown knee boots, red jumper and animal print slippers, with black and Burberry scarf. A sensible buy.
And this shirt is on it's way....v useful, me, love a fitted garment...
And, oops, waiting for these may be horrible! but worth a try.

Still looking for black, boxy crew neck sweater, just below hip length.

Drywhiteplease · 06/01/2015 18:54

Just to clarify.....I don't have "pale blue and brown knee boots" Shock
I have a "pale blue jumper and brown knee boots" Grin

OneLittleLady · 06/01/2015 18:58

nice purchases Dry you'll definitely have plenty of use for the camel skirt, it's very very you, just perfect for you

waiting for my birthday present to come, it will be delivered tomorrow, it's this WATCH

didn't link before getting confirmation it was coming in case it sold out before I could order! it's my little treat to me Smile plus i do actually need a watch as I don't have one right now

muddlingalongquitenicely · 06/01/2015 19:22

Did anyone try the mojito soleros last summer? I loved the lime and mint centre.

I need to sort out my work bag, i used to hot desk for about 18 months around different locations so was used to carrying a mini office with me. But i have a new job with a permenant desk and still carrying round a mini office!
So my question is what are your essentials you carry roubd with you and what bags do you have to fit it all in as i need inspiration!

QueenCardigan · 06/01/2015 19:33

dry don't worry I didn't eat the vienetta or fab. Was just telling one what's in the freezer. I've had some toast and feeling vaguely human but just v v tired. Great purchases for you.

shop have you worn your red j crew shoes yet. I've become a bit obsessed with similar ones. Love these although not the price.

QueenCardigan · 06/01/2015 19:37

There's some from boden I love too but c+p is playing up.

muddlingalongquitenicely · 06/01/2015 19:46

Seen these shoes in a magazine today hoping they appear online or in the shop soon

muddlingalongquitenicely · 06/01/2015 19:47
