I am wearing the brightest neon dress for our themed summer party today. I'm in the extreme eye catching zone, bosh Grin

Got a cheapie from asos will link later.

Stokey · 09/07/2015 14:44

Love it Marsha, I'm sure you're rocking the brights.

Happy birthday to Amber's DD yesterday, love the Daddy's Willy story. Thank God ours haven't walked in yet, we still have an intercom for them, so hear them before they catch us.

It's my birthday today, I'm taking the girls for tea and cake after school, then out for dinner with DH tonight. Then off camping with friends in Suffolk tomorrow eek. Definitely not my natural habitat and the first time with the DC, will be dressing for warmth!

Happy Birthday Stokey

Happy birthday Stokey

Just over a week until MU, ladies. Who will I be meeting for the first time? Shop? Dry?

LinusDKD · 09/07/2015 18:49

Happy birthday stokey!

Camping I know DH is very keen and is already indoctrinating DS to ask about a camping trip so I know I'll have to give in sooner or later but I am resisting as long as possible.

And belated happy birthday mini amber!

My MiH shirt from Asos finally arrived today and is lovely.

I might also have ordered some very discounted MiH skinny jeans from Asos a few days ago. I love the fabric of my Marrakesh so much and I hope the skinnies are as nice.

Am drinking some Wine DH and friends bought after a winetasting session in Provence when I was pregnant with DD.

I couldn't join them because I was pregnant so I went grocery shopping and then picked them up at the vineyards as I was the only one not drinking. So now I finally get to taste it, about three years later!

Fedupnagging · 09/07/2015 18:50

Happy birthday Stokey Wine Smile have a lovely meal tonight.

Marsha looking forward to the link - summer themed party sounds great and the weather is fab too.

Have spent most of the day in the kitchen (girls round tomorrow eve) and the garden. Am rocking messy hair and a very slightly grubby stripy t shirt dress I bought in the US last year.

It's very quiet on here atm. Shhhhhh.........

Drywhiteplease · 09/07/2015 20:12

I'm here Smile with Gigis and Gap boyfriend shorts firmly ON at 4pm today when it got HOT Grin. Tomorrow it will be dress and bare legs again after 4 days' break.

Amber I'll be there and am very much looking forward to challenging you to an arm wrestle meeting you Grin ..............

Funny how I was thinking about A/W clothes yesterday and then the new La Redoute arrived in the afternoon. Love this catalogue am I allowed to say that here? sometimes you can pick up some nice bits and they are forever sending discounts.

Drywhiteplease · 09/07/2015 20:17

Ordered this 100% cotton, love lace as you know.

Drywhiteplease · 09/07/2015 20:20

And this dress for work, washable, might work with a pair is suede ankle boots I have my eye on and a bright cardigan

Drywhiteplease · 09/07/2015 20:23

Tempted by this 100% merino dress too. Has matching longline cardigan, looks nice with a belt and ankle boots for work.

Drywhiteplease · 09/07/2015 20:24

Those are the best bits .........

QueenCardigan · 09/07/2015 20:53

So much looking forward to the meet up. I will pm you all at the weekend with details.

Hot here this afternoon too. Really fancy a glass of wine right now but trying to be good and only drink onnSaturday night when I'm out and at the meet up. I'd like to lose a couple of pounds if possible in the next 2 weeks before going away.

bettykt · 09/07/2015 21:01

Great dresses Dry

Love the RL top Fedup it would go great with my white TS Baxters

Was loving the dtd chat last night. You certainly have to get creative with small children around Wink

Am gutted I can't make the MU would've been great to put more faces to names. Ah well here's hoping I can make the next one.

Oops a bit late but happy birthday to Stokey and a belated happy birthday to MiniAmber loved the sound of her Stella M outfit, nothing wrong in starting them young I say.

AmberNectarine · 09/07/2015 21:19

dry I've just done an arm workout so I'm ready for the challenge Wink

I have a couple of super cheap cashmere jumpers from La Redoute that I've had for about 18m and are wearing well (better than the crappy MaxMara one which bobbled after one wear and was 10x the price)

Style free zone here today - Mickey Mouse t shirt from Uniqlo and too big cropped black Goldsigns which I spent all day hoiking. Helped take DD's nursery class on a picnic though so best I didn't wear any finery.

Drywhiteplease · 09/07/2015 22:49

Arm workout? Yikes Shock

I was looking at their cashmere....have some lovely colours for autumns.

MyVegasBaby · 09/07/2015 23:39

Happy birthday Stokey.
Nice lace top Dry.
Hush Gigi imposters arrived today but no time to try, will make time tomorrow.
Sadly I can't make the MU this time but maybe the next one.
Right, off to bed!

libertychick · 10/07/2015 06:51

Happy birthday stokey CakeWine

Back to the hot weather. Wearing other storied navy cotton midi skirt, beige uniqlo sleeveless silk shirt, olive cropped cardigan. Shoes not the high point, Clark's ballet style trainerish flats in grey but have to walk a lot today.

Have a good one!

AmberNectarine · 10/07/2015 09:38

That sounds like a lovely outfit lib

I'm wearing a black and white elephant print sundress from ASOS, fuschia Boden fifties cardigan and white Avarcas. Feels scarily feminine!

QueenCardigan · 10/07/2015 12:03

Yay, both amber and lib are wearing cardigans! I'm slowly converting you all.
Forgot to say happy birthday yesterday stokey-.
dry love the lace blouse. I'd be worried about the merino dress and how well it would retain its shape after washing.

Wearing cropped jeans but will change into shorts I think.

QueenCardigan · 10/07/2015 12:15

Just having a little iPad time in between sporys day and dd gym class....

lush magenta shoes

QueenCardigan · 10/07/2015 12:17

QueenCardigan · 10/07/2015 12:24

MyVegasBaby · 10/07/2015 12:24

Beautiful magenta shoes Queen!

OneLittleLady · 10/07/2015 12:53

QueenC I wear cardigans all the time, love them. Have very few sweaters, really don't find them as comfortable or as easy to wear as cardigans, i tend to only wear sweaters with jeans but wear cardigans with everything

So, my sister is having to move in with me for a short while, this is going to be...interesting for want of better wording, we clash a lot as it is, we are very different people but this has to happen for a short while. I'm an adult and can deal with it even though we both know we are both going to find it difficult, I guess we just have to muddle through and make the best of it, i'll do my thing, she'll do hers and hopefully we can manage not to have an major blow ups over anything
