Hello, I'm back from yoga (day7).
I follow you all already! maybe I've asked this before???
dry this suggests lipsticks for determining your season, so I guess any of these would be ok.

wow

This is me on pin

Amber Valetta still looks incredible in the ST Style, but my god I could skip knowing about Jool O's ab workout. And I love the superficial ST but that is pushing it.

Me on Pin
I've decided that leather leggings could be a bit much for all the sticky fingers at a children's party so, Cos tunic dress Thanks again Lib, black Paige jeans Thanks Linus and my new LKB knee high boots.

I REALLY want leather leggings! But I'm thinking maybe I should go pleather as it's quite late in the season. Has anyone seen some in any Amun colours ie not black!

Karbea, Hopefully has some incredible Drome ones that are dark green. - kind of dark olive I think. But they are real leather. She is an autumn too. Can you go for that colour?

shopafrolic · 18/01/2015 12:35

There's a few on the Outnet Karbea

Karbea · 18/01/2015 12:56

I have just ordered a yoga towel

MarshaBrady · 18/01/2015 13:01

Who was it that wanted Toga boots? Ages ago, only FR35 left.

santamarianovella · 18/01/2015 13:04

I'm following you now karbea,
for leggings , you can still find good ones, they are a wardrobe staple, but be prepared to spend hours trying them on , till you find a pair you like, but once you find a good pair, they really become the best thing ever,

marsha its true, amber Valletta still looks great.

dry I always put on some tinted lip balm, can't live with out it, I look odd in lipstick,

Karbea · 18/01/2015 13:10

I really can't see any, I'm clearly being thick!
I don't have anything very interesting on pinterest...

Karbea · 18/01/2015 13:13

I have a pair of Gucci chocolate brown leather trousers from 2001 they are quite flared (maybe boot cut - I'd need to look) and try them on as I've not tried them on in a long time. Could I get the ankles taken in do you think? Would this be madness or am I better off just waiting till they cut comes back in fashion?

OneLittleLady · 18/01/2015 13:15

a good tailor could take in the ankles karbea

just in town picking up a new mouse and my boots i ordered the other day.really hope they fir but if not ill return them

Karbea · 18/01/2015 13:18

one if they were yours would you risk it?
We've a local tailor who does all of our alterations not sure how confident I'd trust them with these, mind you, they've been just sitting stored for years, so I guess it's not worth worrying too much about...

Karbea · 18/01/2015 13:20

In ts on page 6 the zara suede leggings look nice.

santamarianovella · 18/01/2015 13:36

i think brown leather can look a bit dated karbea ,

Karbea · 18/01/2015 13:46

Do you? I think I'm just trying to think of options and I remembered them, do you think olive is a better option then? Maybe I should just forget the idea and move on...

QueenCardigan · 18/01/2015 14:06

karbea if it doesn't cost much to get the altered then maybe you could try. Do they fit ok everywhere else if they're that old? My figure seems to change slightly each year.

Karbea · 18/01/2015 14:20

queen I've absolutely no idea how they fit! I will need to try them on, but if chocolate is a bit dated I may as well hold off altering them incase boot cut chocolate leather trousers come into fashion again.

BrandyAlexander · 18/01/2015 14:24

Hello! Love those links QueenC, the Mouret is lovely though can't think short sleeves right now!

We went out to church first thing then have been at home ever since. Planning to stay here. Yesterday all the dcs wanted to do was play with me, today they've barely given me the time of day!

Am wearing one of my new White Company sweaters that I got for Christmas. There's a story behind these. Dmil who in all other instances is a sweetie kind of has an issue with the fact that I am more slim than her. To put in context, she's slim too. A size 10, is totally stunning but she's never forgiven me because many years ago I went on a health and fitness and regime and lost 2.5 stones, (went from straining size 10 to a small size 6) and have kept most of it off ever since. Anyway anytime she buys me clothes she buys it a size too big and tries to convince me that a) it looks great and b) that's my size. So this year I got 2 sweaters. She convinced me that I am a small. Except I own other white company seaters in an xs. Then she said "ooh you don't want cashmere to be too clingy".Hmm So roll forward a couple of weeks, there I am cowering in the WC changing room desperately trying to face time people (including ShopBlush) to find out whether I should keep the S or go XS. loon In the end, all my siblings ended up convincing me that I wasn't being muttony. Thank you dmil, they're gorgeous sweaters but not worth the additional psychological stress, stick to the bling please?!

Ha! I was tempted to do that Dry but the burgundy bit is more my colour now!
Novice all becomes clear! :)
Just back from party - it was in a barn at the back of a village pub so three of us mummies went for a little drink! Bad mummy alert.
