Well remembered Lib, my skirt is leather but it looks a very similar shape to that oxblood one muddling. It's quite true to size I'd say.

Thanks for the links Cranagh

I try to wear 3 colours. I find 2 colours a bit too boring and block ish at times. e.g. I could wear black trousers, white tank and a yellow cardigan but I can't wear black trousers and a yellow jumper, I need another colour to break it up ifywim.

QueenC can you wear charcoal? Have you tried a darker colour grey jeans?

navy jumper for Dry is this the type of sweater you're looking for, couldn't remember if it was navy or black

nice but ££

I really like this striped blazer for summer, I guess it's autumn colours?

Karbea · 15/01/2015 21:35

Like these dresses in both colours too.

libertychick · 15/01/2015 21:36

The navy looks a bit dark on my screen Karbea.

libertychick · 15/01/2015 21:36

Sleep pm Smile

libertychick · 15/01/2015 21:39

Sorry Karbea, the navy stripe in the jacket looks a bit dark. I'm not sure about the navy in the dress. I don't think burgundy is in the autumn colours, I think it's in winter and summer...but I am still learning here so I could be wrong.

Karbea · 15/01/2015 21:54

I think you're right. I'm browsing whilst the dogs are sleeping on me and dh is snoring, my colour swatches are upstairs so trying to remember...

muddlingalongquitenicely · 15/01/2015 21:57

So tonight i have mostly been on Google looking for pictures of famous petite well endowed women for clothing inspiration and all i can find is Salma Hayek.
Anyone else got any suggestions?

Evening,

Thanks for new thread Dry.

Am in bed already relaxing sore muscles. Exercise-induced agony after 3 week break. So unfair that you lose your fitness so much faster than building it. Just been reading the Jillian Michaels webchat, love her and am inspired to get back shredding.

Damn you colour people, I can't stop (internally) analysing everyone I come across and trying to work out if they are warm, cold, autumn, winter etc. Must stop!

QueenC hope you're now relaxing with a glass of wine and that dd has recovered from her ordeal.

One well done on your result, fantastic. For holiday maxis etc asos may be your best bet. Last year I got 2 Grecian-style dresses and lace espadrilles that worked from beach to bar.

Shop 'Caribbean and corporate' is it a new cp? Grin.

So, SS15 wishlist:

Tan/neutral tod's
Ballet flats
Jeans - light blue skinnies
White tees
Lightweight scarf
Shirt dress
Big bag
Small bag

Details a bit sketchy for the moment but am done with winter stuff unless I can get a deal on a parka/down coat.

Night all.

Betty and Awks perfect style wise, but I'm looking for black and not see through. Not ribbed or chunky, a fine knit that I can slouch in but dress up a bit too. Sorry, I'm fussy.
Keep the links coming though.

muddling I guess there must be quite a few as a lot of celebs would have had boob jobs. I'm not sure I really want to google "large chested celebrities" I dread to think what would be returned!

Karbea i was very careful with my search i think i googled petite curvy fashion inspiration. It bought up a huffington post of famous people around the 5ft height then i just scrolled through the pictures none if them seemed particularly buxom though

Cranagh · 15/01/2015 22:56

Muddling, Eva Longoria, Mila Kunis, Megan Fox, Lucy Liu

Cranagh · 15/01/2015 22:58

Mara was about to pm you to say the Woolrich parka is further reduced at Matches but it has sold out. I wanted it. Wah! Sad You snooze, you lose.

Any good, Dry?

libertychick · 15/01/2015 23:29

If I hadn't just been told I am autumn I would buy this in a heartbeat!

libertychick · 15/01/2015 23:35

What's the sizing like in Helmut Lang? Something I like only available in Large, I am usually medium on top....

OneLittleLady · 15/01/2015 23:37

I love that dress lib

muddlingalongquitenicely · 16/01/2015 07:02

Thanks Cranagh mind went blank on me last night for inspiration

muddlingalongquitenicely · 16/01/2015 07:03

Dress is gorgeous Lib

shopafrolic · 16/01/2015 07:06

Cranagh did better than me Muddling I could only think of Dolly Parton and Katie Price! Hmm

muddlingalongquitenicely · 16/01/2015 07:10
