For sunshine, Stans and pretty prints. Pale denim or white broderie.

Whatever you like for Spring, high st or designer.

Love that blouse, Bernice, none of the colours are right for me though. Boo.

I have a couple of pairs of the true skinny Gap jeans and they haven't stretched out at all, really rate them.

Rubbersole have 20% off Havaianas with the code HAV20 so ordered a new pair.

Cranagh · 23/04/2015 09:56

Very annoying about your phone, Stokey!

QueenCardigan · 23/04/2015 09:58

Just popping in quickly to say hello. No time to catch up and am about to make a picnic and find my fleece to take dd to the park. Catch you laters.

libertychick · 23/04/2015 10:02

Damn shopping ban. I want more Uniqlo silk. I had two which I transferred to Shop and now have a sleeveless beige one which I wear a lot. They are thin, I need a cami under the beige one but the navy and black were fine. I love the sleeveless ones for layering under jumpers. They drape really nicely and wash well. I wash them with my wool items on the wool wash at 30 in my machine and always use a silk/wool liquid detergent.

Oh no on the phone Stokey. How annoying.

Thanks again for listening to me moan yesterday. I am over it Grin. I've realised I'm quite good at just giving in to shit feelings, wallowing for a day and then waking up and realising it's ok really. Fuck it, if I have failed then so be it, that's why they have resits.

Fedupnagging · 23/04/2015 10:55

Lib that's what we're for. Glad you're 'over it' and we've everything crossed for you in June.

Stokey what a pia re your phone. I'm always dropping my phone so now have a case like this - don't like it much but despite being dropped on my stone kitchen floor several times, the phone is still intact!

Have fun at the park Queen.

Cranagh the move does sound like it will be a good one for you and your family.

Ootd is grey track pants and zara cotton jumper, all very old and now paint spattered - am decorating a bathroom but on a coffee break atm and struggling to find the motivation to return to the job at hand!

BerniceBobsHerHair · 23/04/2015 10:59

One I saw these and thought of you.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/04/2015 13:43

Hello all. Dry I don't find them too sheer, but I would always wear a cami underneath anyway as I don't like the feel of them flapping about next to my skin. Also I only have one pale one (cream). The red and navy are absolutely fine, like Lib says. Wearing the red one today with navy whistles skinny trousers.

Not cold any more Stokey! What a pain re the phone.

Hope the picnic was nice QueenC

fedup what colour bathroom?

Bernice the red and blue blouse is lovely!

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2015 15:30

What a fab day, sleeveless dress and legs out! I'm happy.Smile
Stokey re our COS jumper. I love the quality and colours are so useful. I'm small chested and short waisted and I'm finding it quite cropped even on me when I wear with my mid rise jeans. Have worn with skirts and with a bright cardi on top Which looks nice. Wish it were more fitted though.

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2015 17:12

OMG....it gets worse Blush you know I said yesterday that I'm good at talking, terrible at typing, illegible writing, all down to doing stuff too quickly tbh well I can't even get talking right, have SO embarrassed myself:

Went to talk to neighbour's DH who was mowing his lawn. Approached him from the front so as not to make him jump with the words "oh, I didn't want to jump on you" Shock Shock BLOODY HELL! Did the cool thing and carried on as if nothing had happened, may have got away with it, not sure. Hmm

Cranagh · 23/04/2015 17:17

Grin Dry

OneLittleLady · 23/04/2015 17:47

so vlad today is over.if you ever get the urge,dont dont dont decide to do drum recording.trust me.just dont.

im in so much pain right nowSad

Fedupnagging · 23/04/2015 19:00

Grin Dry - are you sure you should be allowed out unaccompanied? Wink

One oh dear, you have obviously overdone it today. Can you take some painkillers and rest?

Blair the bathroom is white - boring I know but it makes the room look clean and bright - as it's the boys' bathroom, it needs sprucing up on a regular basis!

It's turned into a beautiful evening so I am about to pour a glass of dry white and sit in the garden, bliss.

shopafrolic · 23/04/2015 19:35

I wish you were my neighbour Dry
I seem to have unwittingly formed a FB action group for our village - before you know it I will be a curtain twitching old biddy who gossips about the locals at every opportunity Grin
No fashion news - looking forward to my style session on Saturday. She is coming to me to go through my wardrobe. Need to get ironing up to date.

libertychick · 23/04/2015 20:01

Oh can't wait to hear your diagnosis Shop. Has to be dramatic in there somewhere.

shopafrolic · 23/04/2015 20:03

Is that not just my mouth rather than my style? Grin

libertychick · 23/04/2015 20:06

Grin - I did mean style.

I'm turning into a curtain twitcher now glaring out at young man next door who has a new girlfriend and they are conducting their relationship with mock fights and lots of shrieking right outside my house I have a child who needs to sleep

MarshaBrady · 23/04/2015 20:16

Style day, very exciting. I think dramatic something too.

Karbea · 23/04/2015 20:21

dry that is very funny. Definitely the right approach to just keep going as long as you didn't say anything else wrong :/

shop how exciting. I'm still not clear about mine really. Will be great to see what you think of it.

shopafrolic · 23/04/2015 20:25

LOL Lib go tell em
Still thinking about those Prada shades. Might have to show them to the HoC lady

libertychick · 23/04/2015 20:35

I am v tempted shop. DH has told me to get a life though. I never got around to saying but I did think those sunniest were very you. You have other ones to mix them up with so you won't get bored may turn to full on enabling to cope with my shopping ban

libertychick · 23/04/2015 20:36

Sunnies obvs channels Dry Grin

bettykt · 23/04/2015 20:42

Dry Grin very brave getting the legs out. I'm still freezing here. Must admit my house is very cold and I'm still putting the heating on Blush I'm such a wuss

Shop do you think you could be Classic Dramatic? I think I have a bit of classic in me and I like a lot of what you link and would wear if only I was a foot taller. Will be exciting to find out.

Lib glad you've stopped fretting about your exams, as I said before I'm sure you did really well.

OOTD for me included the usual skinnies, merino knit and the Boden coatigan which I've now got in 3 colours. Shock not quite as many as Blair and her Uniqlo silk shirts Grin Thanks Linus for putting me onto them.

Loving the curtain twitching talk. My bedroom window is a real vantage point and I can see all comings and goings in my street without anyone seeing me. I love being a nosey parker!

shopafrolic · 23/04/2015 20:52

Betty a previous stylist suggested I was Classic Dramatic but she also said I was an Autumn so she got that wrong! I do think I could be though.....

Karbea · 23/04/2015 20:54

I've a lovely pair of Prada sunnies, but I've no idea where they are. :(

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/04/2015 21:02

They'd look amazing on you shop, definitely show her a pic. Also can't wait to find out what SP you are! But try to be open minded not like I was.

I am embarking on my sunnies mission now, I checked with my opticians that they can order in whichever pair I like (from brands they stock) so I just need to go and try lots on! Want to buy from them as I will get a discount.

Lol betty I think it's very sensible to buy several of the thing you love Wink I feel like I'm sorted for tops for ages now, so satisfying!
