Morning. Yuck. So hungover and off to London with DS shortly.
Posted last night but whoever asked I wore my Splendid jumpsuit. Still love it.
And whoever asked how I knew I was on the list - it was on Twitter so I searched for my username (after a lovely Voguette gave me the heads up that I should)

Drywhitethanks · 21/08/2015 09:55

Epic journey home today....set off 9.37. Wonder how long it will be?
Extremely pissed off to hear there's s tube strike on next week.
Hope shop and marsha make it through the day ok.

libertydoddle · 21/08/2015 09:59

Dry the tube strikes as such a nuisance, I have had to rearrange so many meetings etc. Hope journey home today goes well.

Hi everyone, I'm finally back having waited for a while before resetting my password.

It's also my 40th today and H is taking me out for posh lunch!

Also have bought a pair of Vans which are in the colour I like:
www.urbanoutfitters.com/uk/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=5319414414111&category=WOMENS-TRAINERS-EU

These were similar to the limited ones J Crew had last season but was sold out by the time I wanted to get them.

What's everyone wearing today? Weather seems to brightening up!

3GasGiants · 21/08/2015 10:52

Really want to get a splendid jumpsuit for next summer, sounds like you have used yours a lot Shop.

That AW trend report is interesting. Shop I could actually see you doing the 'modern day mod' look - roll neck jumper, mini, pointy flats.

I was drawn to the 'fashion nun' look Grin

Cringe at the use of the name 'Lolita' for one of the fashion looks, but the styles are really pretty.

Nice vans safety - give us a clue as to who you used to be...?

Karcheer · 21/08/2015 10:56

Hello,

Today I'm wearing leopard print leggings and vest and a white crop t with warrior not worrier written on it, and pink nikes and orange cardi, bit if an eclectic mix! Am at work.
My hair is a big knotty frizzy mess!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/08/2015 11:00

Yes 3GG I can totally see shop looking amazing in A-line dresses with a roll neck under. It's partly the hair I think Grin

Happy birthday safety hope you have a lovely day Cake Flowers

Hope the journey goes ok Dry.

Marsha interview sounds exciting, hope it went well. Fingers crossed for you.

Last day of work before holiday here - yay :)

Drywhitethanks · 21/08/2015 11:15

I'm v confused with all the name changes Confused
safety and karcheer are you new or name changers?

Trend alert.... 'Granny' no thanks, I'd look like a granny.
Goth.... Yawn, it's always there, I love blank and dark lips though.
The 'fashion nun' is a great name Grin some lovely looks and palette but too unstructured for me.
'Lolita' and the mod one are the nearest my style, just a bit longer. Love an a line knee length skirt and fitted sweater.

libertydoddle · 21/08/2015 11:18

Happy Birthday safety Cake Have a great day. Love the suede Vans. I also haven't a clue who you are!!!

Yay for holidays Blair. Are you still cringing today? Grin

I like that slogan Karcheer.

I must go back and look at the style report, was on the phone yesterday. I could see Shop in the A-line and roll neck look too but I'm not sure she would be comfortable!!!

Weather is looking like it might bucket rain here, hope not, I have to walk to meet DH and DD and I'm wearing sandals....

Drywhitethanks · 21/08/2015 11:20

I want to do this look for work this A/W , v me. Have new black skirt and Gap merino in charcoal is on its way . Have my LK Bennet pointy flats from last A/W. May even be first day in new job outfit .

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/08/2015 11:32

Lovely outfit Dry, really simple but just perfect somehow.

Karcheer = Karbea! :)

Lib the cringe has lessened a bit, I even told my work colleagues and they thought it was hilarious. I always have things like this happening to me. Recently I've twice sat down in front of strangers and my thighs have made a proper fart noise, once when I had my new sofas delivered and once in a steam room. It's embarrassing being me.

I'm really struggling with a list for holiday, especially as the first few days look rainy. Is 4 bottoms and 5 dresses too much for a week? I expect I'll be changing outfit at least once a day.

Stokey · 21/08/2015 12:45

Happy Birthday Safety Cake Wine. DH's was 10 days ago so your almost twins. I'm embracing the promised warmth in denim cut- offs, charcoal tee, gigis. I was also wearing cobalt good days ahead sweatshirt this morning but seems to be brightening up now.

I think 5 dresses may be too many Blair. It depends how often you're going out? I'd probably take a couple less and wear more than once but then it's hard to remember the luxury of pre-kid holidays where you go out every night!

Desperately praying the tube strike for next Friday will be called off. I have theatre tickets for the kids to see 3 little pigs and don't think I can struggle into town with them if there's no tube. We don't need all night tubes, we'd miss the drunken joy of the last tube home or kebab on the night bus Grin

MarshaBrady · 21/08/2015 17:07

Happy birthday Safety! Cake [fizz]

Ah Blair I'm not sure it shows them in a very good light! I'd cringe but they were pretty grim talking about it.

Had second interview today, whirlwind. It is back in the area I know much better. Strategy rather than activation. And no I don't expect you to know what I'm on about Grin, after all I took the last job not really knowing what I was getting in to

I got through it am very hung over now though. Think it went ok, will see.

libertydoddle · 21/08/2015 17:13

Fingers crossed for you Marsha Smile

LinusLovesBretons · 21/08/2015 17:29

Fingers crossed marsha

Happy birthday safety!

My OOTD changed a few times. First Boden Chinos and J Crew ls tee to go to DS's early morning outdoor swimming lesson, then swimsuit and coverup to go swimming myself in the afternoon and navy Splendid dress for the rest of the day. Grin

MarshaBrady · 21/08/2015 18:19

Thanks Linus and Lib Smile

Shop hope you had a blast in London.

Stokey have a great night out.

safetyzone · 21/08/2015 19:22

To people asking me who I was, I've just joined this thread shortly before the hacking happened but I didn't name change, I've not got much posting history here, but have the same name here for years!

safetyzone · 21/08/2015 19:23

Sorry feeding baby here but thanks for the birthday wishes!

libertydoddle · 21/08/2015 20:11

Sorry I didn't recognise you safety Smile. V confusing here ATM with all the name changes.

We have just packed up buckets, spades, sarrongs and sunscreen. Going to brave the crowds and possible rain and head for the beach tomorrow! Can't waste a 30 degree day

Stokey · 21/08/2015 20:12

Thanks Marsha
I went for Office Ghillies shoes, black & white striped Uniqlo pencil skirt (which has tube like properties and is getting shorter with every step I take Blush ), white vest and black Me + Em asymmetric swing tee. Dd1 asked why I was wearing a dress under a dress...

Have good evenings all.

shopafrolic · 21/08/2015 20:39

Such a lovely day - DS loved the show, met DH at his office and then we all went to Tom's Kitchen for drinks and then a pasta dinner in Leicester Sq. Came home to a shit storm that may or may not be a result of the hacking thing though. I wasn't swatted. Won't discuss on here but yet another complete PITA.

libertydoddle · 21/08/2015 21:00

Hugs Shop. Hope you are ok - if you need a chat I am around.

shopafrolic · 21/08/2015 21:04

I'm absolutely fine - promise. Just in admin hell!

libertydoddle · 21/08/2015 21:10

ok. Hope it isn't too difficult to sort out. Smile

LinusLovesBretons · 21/08/2015 21:17

Oh no shop! I hope you're ok!
