Justa, I love the Valentino jacket but don't think it will go with a dress?

Lib's second Zara is a possibility if it's short enough. I'll try it Saturday.

Justa's john Lewis link caused me to look there. This Miss Selfridge one would be perfect but it has 3/4 sleeves and maybe it's a bit too white.

Novice just seen these on HoF

Oasis textured?

Precis Petite

Chilly morning here OOTD black Tippi, indigo TS Baxters, my favourite jeans, and Dune leopard print shoes.

Good luck to the GCSE takers.

The leopard flats did arrive yesterday and they were lovely - but too small!

Shop yours look lovely on. How secure does your foot feel inside?

I am going to wait a bit before re buying as I also got these as I have been looking for a snake print pair for ages. I also mentioned to Lib I was trying to join her in a spending ban, so cringe every time I link something on here Wink

Justa I didn't realise you were tall - I think the TS trousers you linked a while ago would look fine as ankle grazers - I noticed the model had rolled them up so they were almost mid calf on her. Did you keep them? I like them in black but not with the rips.

MyVegas I forgot to say I love the Alice heels! I really would like a pair but I never wear heels so they would be just to look at Grin I'm not sure they work as a flat. Like the blue clutch too.

Bernice feet feel very secure Bernice I had to size up. They are slim though - a friend of mine who is also a UK7 bought the 8 and had to send them back as they were too tight.

Just a quick pop in. Have spent the morning looking at curtains and cushions. Think I'm all decided now! Also took a product recall back to ikea so hot a £10 voucher so thought I may as well spend it. Ending up spending £86 Blush Grin.

Finally sunny here after a wet start. I accidently left the swim towels out overnight so they were all soggy this morning! Ootd, cropped jeans, keds, grey tee and damson cardi.

Good comeback dry

Last year my boss complimented me on my work and I said 'feel free to give me a pay rise'. His response was 'don't worry, [DH's name] will look after you'. I was Shock. We work in the same department so obviously they know what he earns but that is completely irrelevant. I started ranting about misogyny and he backed slowly away. Needless to say I got my pay rise.

muddlingalongquitenicely · 12/05/2015 16:26

Its quiet here with exams as well i dont get any comments about how well they went unless i ask. Keep getting text from school about revision class reminders.
Our group manager said he mentioned my name 4 or 5 times during quarterly reviews (in a good way) and i might have to present to the CEO i mentioned a pay rise he played deaf.

Drywhiteplease · 12/05/2015 16:56

this is sweet. I feel a trip to Longchamp in London coming on during half term and 21 Forever for DD

shopafrolic · 12/05/2015 16:58

Evening!

I won't be able to make the next MU again! Sad

It was so hot here today, I wore my white TS Baxters with a J crew painter tee in the morning (with the black Jil Sander belt DH got me for Mothers Day last Sunday, I felt very French Vogue without the heels though) and in the afternoon I wore my new Hush breton dress.

To all those who's DC are studying, have some Wine

I cringe at the memories of DM going mental trying to make me study when all I wanted to do was watch television and read books. Blush

Drywhiteplease · 12/05/2015 19:53

Yes, it's our pilgrimage to Brighton Grin. Only an afternoon in London though with DD so sadly no time for coffee Sad .....am down again in August so will keep you posted.
