Morning. I have bought a couple of bits for work. I anted to hold out as I am trying to lose weight but I am desperate. I will need to post separately as I lose my draft post every time I got to Pinterest on my iPad.

Undecided90 · 21/03/2015 11:11

grey shirt

QueenCardigan · 21/03/2015 13:12

undecided I have to link everything separately too. V annoying.
Like that shop. Perfect for beach function.
dry I was growing it as I get bored with it and I always have this image of me with a nonchalant updo which in reality looks an utter mess. I do use dry shampoo. Batiste is horrid and makes you grey but the Toni and gut one is great. I coukdnt get hold of it last time and bought a garner one but its pretty rubbish.
santa I think you're right actually-that a shorter sharper cut gives me an edge.

black trousers

another shirt

Ellisisland · 21/03/2015 15:47

Really like those trousers undecided

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 15:58

Linus your tee is here so I will post it on on Monday (you haven't moved have you?).
Santa and QueenC I am going to chop it off. I have had short hair for 90% of my adult life. It suits me. I was bored. But I hate the feeling of hair around my face. Not sure what my hairdresser will be able to do with this fringe though...we'll see.
OOTD is shortened MiH Marrakech with GAP burgundy merino crew neck and burgundy Adidas Gazelles. DH was bemused by the flares Hmm.

So much to catch up on!

QueenC I reckon you'd look great with a Michelle Williams-esque short cut. You too Shop. I love those styles - feminine but with an edge.

Marsha glad your kitchen woes are coming to an end.

Shop love the Comptoir dress. Definitely a keeper & versatile.

I'm procrastinating over clearing my wardrobe but I don't have the energy. The flipside is that looking in my closet to find an outfit is draining. I have way too many clothes.

Loving all the shoe talk. And Santa hope your foot is feeling less sore today. Sounds dreadful.

Also loving the Stella links. I would like a black jacket for the summer but I need to be careful as many styles look too corporate. Maybe a shrunken style?

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 16:00

Can't see grey shirt undecided it's saying sold out but love the Zara bits. V smart. I miss my work wardrobe more than my job Grin

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 16:01

Can I come and do it Ujjayi? I LOVE wardrobe clear outs Grin

Ujjayi · 21/03/2015 16:04

Undecided: I LOVE that Zara blouse. Would look great with flares but also with the black Zara trousers. The BR link just takes me to the main page.

Ellisisland · 21/03/2015 16:07

Cleared out DHs wardrobe today. So much more room for my clothes now Grin

shop I love my workwear. I think I like it more than my job as well!

Ujjayi · 21/03/2015 16:09

Shop I may just take you up on that GrinGrin

I'm just too hormonal for rational thought (as evidenced by the frankly weird mustard midi I bought last week. As soon as I took it from the bag I was like WTAF Shock). So next Friday will be the day to start & hopefully finish on sunday. I need much much less & to wear it more. There will be an epic eBay session over Easter. Might also try Vestiare for my more expensive items.

OneLittleLady · 21/03/2015 16:29

hello all

no purchases or anything to report, ive not really any money to be spending right now with holiday coming up in the next few days. having various computer related disasters, luckily at least one of them is working which means i can still do my work. finished out sorting my toiletries etc for packing, ive just got to take them down to london to put in my suitcase and all is done and finished. still feeling pretty wiped out but my throats not quite as sore as it was

QueenCardigan · 21/03/2015 17:09

ujjayi I'll help you too. I reckon you have some great bits in your wardobe that I could steal Grin. Shame about the skirt. Can you return it?
Love those trousers undecided and I've pinned the whole look as I lve the blouse and sandals with it.
ujjayi doesn't micheele Williams have that kind of textured hair though like sienna Miller? I've attempted to recreate that look but my hair is just too straight and doesn't hold products well.
shop I can't imagine you with long hair at all, I reckon short hair is deginitely good for your edgy look.

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2015 17:32

Off out with DH tonight, wearing burgundy rockstud flats, black leather leggings, Uniqlo dark denim shirt, leopard faux fur cocoon coat and black rockstud bag (matchy)

Am also at in between stage with my hair - is shoulder length bob ATM but am determined to persevere!

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2015 17:33

I'd need to hire a skip if I did a wardrobe clear out!

QueenCardigan · 21/03/2015 17:50

I'd definitely help you clear out too amber Grin.
So, you're off out. What's everyone else up to tonight? Just cracked open a bottle of Sancerre and will be ordering curry.

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 17:50

Are you growing your hair again then Amber? I thought you only recently went for the chop?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/03/2015 18:05

Not doing anything tonight, DP is cooking me a nice steak to go with a nice red Wine. My cold is getting better though. Have fun Amber and anyone else who's going out.

I've just finished doing my half of the wedding seating plan - think I need that wine!

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2015 18:17

What we learn is that Ghost by Ella Henderson is a tough warm up karaoke song!

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2015 18:18

shop it was October so about 6m ago - I get bored easily!

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 18:20

Me too - hence growing it and then giving up in 3 months.
That is a good learning for the week - and one I will take on board Grin Have fun.
