Have the Workwear Chatty threads stopped?

[MrsBertMacklin]

Just clearing down my Watched Threads and realised that I've not seen one in Active Convos for ages, can't find one on the first 5 pages in topic.

Have they stopped? Summer is coming!

We haven't had one for a file, but this looks a good place to start!

We need Belinda, Elizabeth and co.

I've just bought a little grey jacket from a charity shop - fitted waist, short sleeves, very Westwood, which I'm hoping will be a useful part of my summer work wardrobe. I also have a couple of silk dresses and skirts, which are v useful.

I want some lightweight, light-coloured suits. Not in tangerine,, not in linen, which seems to be all I can find at Jaeger, M&S etc.

I picked up a few shell tops in the BR winter sale, just need suits to wear with them. Trying to decide if I have the legs to get away with this.

That blue BR dress is lovely, but not for work in my opinion (well not my work anyway) It's far too low cut!

I'd love to join in! I'm looking for some slips to wear under dresses in natural fibres. I don't think they exist

Hasn't Belinda been unwell? I'm sure normal service will be resumed shortly.

I love the BR dress - but it is all about the legs, isn't it?

staph Have you tried old lady style independent underwear shops for your cotton slips? I got some lovely ones a few years ago from a little shop in our local town that is run by two elderly ladies... the sort that physically hoik you into correct fitting bras. I discovered them when shopping for nursing bras many years ago.

BHS often have natural cotton slips too.

Thanks Night I have never considered that. I know just the place too!

can I join in? I've just ordered this patterned and this plain dress from & other stories, also some trousers from warehouse which have just arrived... I have big legs which makes most trousers too tight on the leg but not the waist which is annoying

I like that warehouse dress Noddy, may try that if the others are no good, looks like a decent length

I too like noddy's dress.

I tried that warehouse dress on, but it did nothing for me sadly.

Can I join?

I'm thinking of ordering this Cyra Dress from Hobbs and this Alma Dress from Hobbs. I'm not sure I have the right shape for them but really like them both.

love the alma dress salty

swishes in

I have lipstick news.
I was paying at Boots on the Clinique counter wearing this Lancome lipstick www.lancome.co.uk/_en/_gb/make-up/lips/lipstick/rouge-in-love-25301w.aspx when she LURED me by complimenting me on it , to try the new colour pop shades.
I LIKED. I had the sweet pop on which was a Nicki minaj type blue pale pink.

i like that dress Nod, but I note that when sleeves stop where my tits are it makes a long line across me.....

bastard boobs

Oh here is the Clinique one

Have tried a v similar dress on in Warehouse before and it looked awful on me, sadly. Also - polyester.

I like this - May have been posted on here before.

Love this but it's a cotton/polyester mix so depends what it's like irl.

LONG for you titch,Like the idea of top and skirt instead of titty dress too

I am better with dresses top and skirt I think you need hourglass not me sadly!

I generally find a skirt and a plain black top much easier than a dress, or coloured/patterned top.

I quite like full midi skirts, despite my titchiness - have to wear heels though!

I like midi full skirts too and am not tall either but yes heels!

you two must be snake hipped. I look like a dirndl in them

like long full skirt with knee boots with a heel in winter Couldn't do in summer as need boxy jumper as waist has gone a bit shit

lol ' gone a bit shit'
