Come chat about clothes, make up and accessories, budgets from Primark to Prada. Lurkers, newbies and old hands all welcome.

Double win here today. I have made it as far as the park up the road with DS, AND..... I am back wearing skinny jeans.
One of my friend's sent me the Sali Hughes book to read while I recuperate - Pretty Honest. I recommend throughly. Really good read so far and I'm learning a lot.
Love your Sunday links QueenC
I bought a black skinny silk scarf from Atterley. Hoping it will be a useful accessory for nights out with my Zara jacket.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 27/09/2015 11:02

oh, lovely Shop but don't over do it. I have a skinny silk black paisley print scarf, I bought it in Topman ten years ago as none of the womens shops had what i was looking for at the time. I will happily steal mens style if it's what i'm looking for and womens stores do not provide

coatigan for fedup

QueenCardi · 27/09/2015 12:58

coatigan again

libertydoddle · 27/09/2015 13:12

I love the weekly links QueenC. That jumpsuit is perfect for Shop.

One I think capes are tricky with bags. Only a grab bag works really I think.

Fedup what colour coatigan do you want?

Oh that's good news shop!

queenc I also look forward to your Sunday morning links. I love the jumper you linked for me but after the dissapointing colour of the Gucci one I would have to see this one IRL before buying.

OOTD has been monochrome: black Paige skinnies (not really a fan of these), white ancient Ralph Lauren shirt and black Uniqlo merino jumper. And my black suede Balenciaga ballet flats when I went out of the house.

shopafrolic · 27/09/2015 16:32

Why don't you love the Paige skinnies Linus? Have your MiH arrived yet?
One of my lovely neighbour's turned up with cake from a local food fair that's been on today. Smile
Wearing black gap skinnies with my Yak wool black Vince sweater. Had my new grey Superstars on for the park. Still Love those Stans Linus maybe on my October purchase list.

LinusLovesBretons · 27/09/2015 17:28

No MiH yet shop but they always take ages to deliver. At least it's free!

I like the style of the Paige Hoxton but the fabric is just a bit thick and the black not quite right. Maybe I'm just not a black skinny kinda woman, too rock chick which I am definitely not. Grin

shopafrolic · 27/09/2015 18:16

I think all the reasons you quoted are why I love them Grin

LinusLovesBretons · 27/09/2015 18:34

Highly likely! Wink I don't think I've got a rock chick bone in my body.

I think, if anyhting, Goth would suit me better. When I was 17 I dressed up as a Punk/Goth hybrid (didn't know the difference) for a school party and my outfit of black pleated mini skirt, torn fishnet tights, borrowed Dr. Marten's, black nailvarnish, loads of black eyeliner and tons of hairspray got me more attention from the boys in my year than in the whole of my schoolyears combined. Hmm

MarshaBrady · 27/09/2015 20:02

Evening. Just had a darn it moment when I realised that all my cases/ bags aren't quite right for overhead use. The case I have is 3cm too big. I'll have to check it in the gauge thing won't I? I doubt that BA are lenient.

Have a what to wear / what to pack issue too.

shopafrolic · 27/09/2015 20:23

Sounds stressy Marsha. Would assume BA are hot on that stuff.
Why can't you Pin from Instagram? Really annoying. Wanted to show Dry and Linus VB's outfit today. Monochrome with flats. For the UN meeting. Thought she looked good.

MarshaBrady · 27/09/2015 20:26

Not too bad, just cbb to go into town today. Should have ordered from Amazon. I knew it would be like this but didn't have the impetus to change it. Will just have to check it in and people can wait for me at the other end

MarshaBrady · 27/09/2015 20:27

Screen shot and upload here?

LinusLovesBretons · 27/09/2015 20:37

Ah yes, Victoria called me the other night and said:" Linus, I have a meeting at the UN tomorrow, what should I wear?"

So I said:"Babe, I am wearing monochrome tomorrow, why don't you do the same?"

So, as usual, she took my advice. I am to be credited for getting her out of those horrible Roberto Cavalli dresses and Day Glo fake tan.

However, I did not tell her to wear those horrible shoes.

Wink Grin

MarshaBrady · 27/09/2015 20:39

Grin her style change from extension and boobs days really is something.

Want to see the outfit and shoes now!

Drywhitethanks · 27/09/2015 20:54

Me too, I'm speaking at the UN next week could do with advice Grin love monochrome. Will google.

Linus what you said leads me to a question:

Is there a style that you like but just doesn't really work for you?

Me, anything rock chic or too masculine.
I also love the flippy floral skirt with jumper, thick tights and ankle boots .....I just can't pull it off Confused

QueenC we stopped having the ST delivered and your links fill the fashion void left by the Style mag.

shopafrolic · 27/09/2015 20:56

Et voila

shopafrolic · 27/09/2015 21:03

I liked the shoes. Must be the dramatic in me Confused

Drywhitethanks · 27/09/2015 21:04

Totally LOVE that

LinusLovesBretons · 27/09/2015 21:05

Well dry, whenever I've spoken at the UN my outfits have been 'less is more'

Grin

I love the Isabel Marant look but it doesn't work for me and in summer I like the whole boho vibe but that really doesn't suit me.

And I love the whole simple Supermodel On Her Way To A Casting look but as I am neither superslim nor supertall that look is a nono for me as well.

MarshaBrady · 27/09/2015 21:08

Haha Linus I expect the ST to be doing a spread on that new look next week - love the name.

I can't do theatrical, at all. No flounces or statement necklaces or flurries whatever they are.

shopafrolic · 27/09/2015 21:15

Reminds me of that MU Marsha where you were looking at all my bracelets and saying "what is all that? What's the point?" Grin

Drywhitethanks · 27/09/2015 21:18

Oh linus the way K Moss et all look really cool in a just-chucked-it-together way, never works for me.... Looks like I've got dressed with the lights off Grin

LinusLovesBretons · 27/09/2015 21:21

Really don't like the shoes. Too pointy and make her feet look too wide.
