Shop your style day sounds fab....but you're super stylish ESP with your correct season diagnosis, can it get better?

Ooooh I love a bit of curtain twitching. My bedroom ws at the front of the house before the extension, prime location, now I miss out a bit.

Shop if we were neighbour's it would be carnage but fun Grin...... It will be a column in local newspaper next you know!!!!!

Betty I feel the cold, so for me to have bare legs it needs to be at least 18 degrees.....was lovely today.

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2015 21:04

OneLittleLady · 23/04/2015 21:08

betty I too really feel the cold, 28 degrees MINIMUM before I will go totally bare legged! Im not lying either

I am so exhausted, I was really pushed to my limits physically today. I need to speak to my tutors as I can't do what I did today again and I shouldn't be expected to either.

bernice I love those jeans but worry over ASOS sizing as I have very big hips Blush

Can't wait to hear what SP you have shop but I too am leaning towards a dramatic something for you

OOTD was black slim fit trousers, My Melody and Hello Kitty black tee, grey cashmere and cotton mix cardigan and black flats with small ball studs on them, gold is fine on me so long as it's kept to shoes only, definitely nowhere near my face

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/04/2015 21:20

I went bare legged yesterday, but only because I need to buy more stockings Blush

MarshaBrady · 23/04/2015 21:21

I'm still going out in the morning in my coat. Have found it chilly early.

Bugger! this

shopafrolic · 23/04/2015 21:55

Definitely cold early. School drop off in coat, pick up in short sleeves :)

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2015 22:00

Amateur production of the Wizard of Oz? Inappropriate Tin Man outfit?

Come as a vacuum packed bratwurst party?

Metallica concert?

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2015 22:08

Karbea · 23/04/2015 22:22

Karbea · 23/04/2015 22:23

Silver wedding anniversary, perfect!

shopafrolic · 23/04/2015 22:26

Sweaty

bettykt · 24/04/2015 07:06

So Karbea would you have bought it if it was in your colours -gold? Grin

AmberNectarine · 24/04/2015 07:34

PMSL at in laws silver wedding anniversary. Even I wouldn't wear that.

I've been gadding about in shorts for a couple of weeks. As a result I now have some cracking tan lines - the classic farmer's tan from T-shirts, a stripe across my middle from crop tops, a line mid-thigh from shorts, a line mid-calf from running capris and best of all totally white feet from trainers. I look so good naked right now.

Drywhiteplease · 24/04/2015 07:58

Love a farmer's tan Amber , it's a British speciality Smile

Sunny again, OOTD;
Black lace shell top
Camel BR Sloane fit 7/8 dry clean only, don't wash!
Daniel animal print pointy flats developing a small bald patchSad
Black fitted cardi

shopafrolic · 24/04/2015 08:10

Morning all. My Madewell animal flats have a bald patch on the point of the toe. Really irritating and happened way too quickly.
Blog pics Amber? Wink

Fedupnagging · 24/04/2015 09:28

If anyone has bought that catsuit or similar, please let me know - am intrigued as to where you'd wear it and how you'd style it.

Also, it reminded me of this song - which I now have as an ear worm Hmm

Beautiful morning here again; was lovely walking the dog across the fields.

Ootd is same as yesterday as am finishing off the decorating. I hope to be finished, showered and dressed in something more stylish by lunchtime!

QueenCardigan · 24/04/2015 11:14

Morning all. Went to bed at 8.30 last night as was washed out from period and headache again. I still have a headache today and an intense sugar craving . Just been to the eye hospital with dd and her squint is definitely improving.

It's cooled down here but wearing rolled up jeans, keds, navy broderie anglsise top and emerald cardi.

That catsuit is vile Grin

OneLittleLady · 24/04/2015 11:31

wow, that catsuit is certainly.....unique isn't it. very, um, eyecatching

there's been a big mix up, college think im meant to be in today for an extra curricular course, I didn't think I was so everyones confused right now. I had indicated i wouldn't be attending ages ago so i don't quite know what happened.

anyway, off shopping for birthday bits and bobs as it's Ds's birthday lunch with me tomorrow. I'm so excited for him, his '2nd mum and dad' have bought him an ipad air! he's wanted an ipad for as long as i can remember so he's going to be over the moon come the day of his official birthday! Dp and I have got him an ipod and lots of other bits and pieces, he's a very lucky boy but he's never ungrateful or spoilt with it. he appreciates everything, no matter how small it is. He's a very good natured child, even if i do say so myself!

AmberNectarine · 24/04/2015 11:40

To illustrate my point about my white feet!

Your ds sounds like a lovely boy One Hope you have a good day with him tomorow.
I am usually the reverse of that Amber with tanned feet on the top from ballet pumps and milky white legs. My hands have got really tanned since last week, I think just from driving. It looks like a stranger's hand when I put them anywhere else on my body atm.
Bernice love that uniqlo shirt. I have a printed silk one from last year which is one of my favourite items of clothing. It is quite thick, good quality silk although not sure how it compares to this years ones.
Grin at Dry's suggestions for the catsuit. Looks like a one way ticket to thrush imo.

ootd is rose pink cashmere jumper with jbrand bf jeans and the R&B loafers (again)

Drywhiteplease · 24/04/2015 16:47

Great feet shot Amber bet Marsha fainted though

Shop I wonder whether it's a thing with pony hair, these are the second pair of pony hair animal print pointy flats that have developed a bald patch. Such a shame because last year I bought an animal printed suede slipper shape but just doesn't look as "defined" as pony hair.

LinusDKD · 24/04/2015 17:25

Evening!

No time to catch up but quickly popping in to tell you about my Boden order. Most of it was for the DC but I also ordered that coatigan in grey, which is nice but I wouldn't pay fp for it and it's not as nice as my Paul and Joe Sister one.

Still, I think it's going to come in handy to just throw on when running out of the house to dress up jeans and tee.

The chino shorts in pale blue arrived as well and whereas the size 10 was too big the size 8 feels a bit snug.

I can close it easily and it fits well on my hips, it's just a tad snug around the thighs. Sad
