Mumsnet Vogue vol55

[QueenCardigan]

It's March. Spring is in the air. We are looking forward to losing layers and baring ankles.

This is the volume of the hen do and wedding. Will queen manage to get shop to wear penis boppers . And will we all shed a tear when the beautiful blair gets married.

Following on from here

Amber any help gratefully received. Talk about a specific wardrobe brief! Thanks God for being a Winter and that white suits me!!
Will have to have a look at shoe links later as am heading out of the door but wanted to say thanks :)

could be awesome

shop cricket my dh would be going mad if he had to wear white on a club trip. He freaked when we had to wear black and white which I thought was easy for men. I reckon as long as you nod to White it'll be fine.

So it's actually really hard to find a white dress that isn't a. Well casual or b. A wedding dress.

shop LOVE that AS dress. May have to order it. This thread is not going to be good for my bank balance, I can tell already!

Love those LKB shoes Amber and the white jumpsuit - can see Shop rocking that.

Welcome Ellis, fab Lanvin dress and gorgeous colour - agree with Mara, could you wear that for the wedding? The AS dress is nice but am not sure for a wedding. at Zoolander link.

Blair dodgy tactics from your hotel but as you have in writing their intention to honour the price originally quoted, they can't then charge you more. It all sounds very stressful for you at the moment but honestly, you will so enjoy your day.

Lovely MV links Undecided - I love Mint Velvet clothes but they don't always suit me - think you need to be tall.

I put on lots of weight when I had my 3 dc's but after ds3 lost about 4 stone. Have put 1 stone back on which really needs to go but am not massively motivated to do so . Kudos to all of you that have worked so hard to drop your weight - it's not easy especially if you love wine food!

shop I think you could get away with the KM, but if you want to go all white here is my contribution. Love Amber's finds as well. You definitely need something sleek. Lucky you, white cocktail dresses are so chic!

Evening!

Welcome ellisisland! Gorgeous Lanvin, a real classic you'll wear for years to come.

undecided I lost about two stone in the last 18 months with the Fast diet. It doesn't work for everyone but it worked for me. The most important thing is that you have taken the first step to losing weight!

blair sorry to hear the venue are being a pain! But don't let it get you down, you will have a lovely wedding day!

No fashion news here, I really hate this time of year when you're still stuck in your winter clothes you're fed up with and your spring/summer clothes are too chilly to wear still.

Wow, so much to catch up on. Apologies but I've only skim read but shop all white???? My guess is that they expect to wear all floaty white numbers like that lacy thing that WiT wore in Sicily. For men, who knows????

Welcome ellis. I'll read you post properly later.

[[http://wearingittoday.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/wit-travel-special-my-sicily-in.html WIT in Sicily. Thinking the lace wouldn't suit you but something like her white jumpsuit would be fab.

link fail

WIT's holiday wardrobe and pics are a sight to behold - mine usually a sight for sore eyes! Where is her frizzy hair, sunburnt nose and sunglasses eyes?!!

Can't decide between
This bag
Or
This bag

I've been dithering for ages over orange bags - I really need to make a decision or forget it!

Shop PM

fedup I like the first one! it reminds me of this Anya Hindmarch one, minus the character!

fedup the jmcrew looks more pink than Orange to me. I probably marginally prefer the j crew. Love the fossil but for me personally I don't like all the gold hardware.
ellis you're in my neck of the woods. Love the grey dress but as others have said I wonder if it's too casual?
undecided great links. I've never tried any mint velvet stuff on as it often seems a bit overpriced to me but I do like a lot of it.
blair if you've got it in writing then they simply can't chage you more. Can dp deal with it instead? When we had probs dh dealt with them as he was slightly less emotional hysterical about it.

It's sorted now, phew. Like you all said, I had it in writing. I'm not hysterical yet but I have been ranting to DP and my mum!

It's 1 month tomorrow

fedup I prefer the Fossil one, I like that grainy leather better and the Anya-like shape.

Good god Shop I loathe colour dress codes, think they're naff and annoying, v footballers' wives ...... Having said that I adore Amber's racer back back maxi dress and Blair's knee length.
I think for men the only option would be white linen trousers, white linen shirt untucked, sleeves rolled up....but that's quite casual ....... My DH would ho nuts too.

I think a beach party could be quite dressed down for men....maybe the linen would work and you could dye the trousers after in an Italian kind of way

Shop how about white palazzo/wide legged trouser and fitted top?

Shop for DH with white shirt.

Shop if I was your DH I would be tempted to do pale taupe / beige chinos and a white shirt - they are not going to turn him away.

Great choices linked for you by Amber and Blair - you will rock the look! But I'm with Dry on the hatred of colour dress codes - ridiculous, it's probably because the CE has had her colours done and white is best on her!!!

Fedup definitely the Fossil bag for me. Not keen on the J-Crew.

I am still working on my assignment - deadline midday tomorrow - why do I always do this to myself???

Blair one month!!!!!! Wow that time has flown. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy you will never get this much attention again

I go out, I come back to loads of links. You lot are awesome. White jumpsuit could be a good option. Love the LKB shoes Amber and the red Kurt Geiger. Food for thought.
DH has just taken delivery of some v pale chinos so will go with those for him and try and track down a white linen shirt. His Massimo Dutti shoes arrived today. He has asked me to thank you all. Said he'd never have thought to try them but loves them. :)
Blair I went out with my friend tonight who is getting married in May. She is stressing a little too so v natural I think x
Lib breathe. Good luck. X

Jumping back in!
Hi Ellis, love the Lanvin dress, I would wear it to the Irish wedding (and am Irish), the All Saints dress is nice but I think too casual.

Shop argh, I hate when your attire is dictated!

Liberty, hope you have a fab holiday.

Fedup, I by far prefer the Fossil bag.

Blair glad it is all sorted with the hotel.

Have been perusing Me & Em, wish they still did more of their drapey, jersey dresses. Not as big a fan as I used to be but I like a couple of things in their catalogue. Really like All Saints, Velvet, James Perse and Comptoir atm.

I like a lot of what you linked from Mint Velvet, Undecided. Bet you are not frumpy at all!

Dry fail on the Dukan, I started to feel quite ill and abandoned it had pizza tonight lasted four days and lost 5 lb though.

Ordered this trench today as they had only one left in my size. I had waited in vain for weeks for them to do an extra 30% off.

Right will wear the Lanvin to the wedding thanks all

Have ordered the AS dress that shop linked to as well just because it looks so nice !

cranagh love that trench. I need to get a new trench coat as my last lovely one I stupidly left at an airport going through security and haven't found another one since.

Hope you got your assignment done lib
