Blair lovely MK dress. V Tempting.

Safety that is a beautiful purse.

Happy anniversary Marsha and DH - hope you have a lovely evening.

Bought another item in the sales today - not going to 'fess up until I decide if I am keeping or not

My fashion fault is not always doing my hair properly - the shorter style should make this easier though. And I also priortise comfort over style when choosing my footwear for the day.

I have decided on my style resolution for 2016 (drum roll) - starting today (so yes it includes today's purchase) I am only going to buy 10 items for the whole of 2016. I am hoping that the phrase 'is it good enough to be one of the 10?' will inspire me to only buy things that are absolutely perfect.

Cranagh · 14/01/2016 21:23

Sleep, I love that cape. Belated happy birthday! I was thinking of you the other day as re-read emails you sent me with food suggestions (following them now!).

Glad you had fun, Liberty and Mara!

That purse is an absolutely gorgeous colour, Safety.

Love all the Chloe, Lara.

OOTD here jeans, this top, grey pistols, old Aigle as it was freezing.

MBMJ bag arrived and I can't return it as it is perfect, 50/50s arrived, ditto, and I ordered this scarf. No shopping until my birthday now and I mean it. This time.

Cranagh · 14/01/2016 21:24

My fashion fault is probably messy hair and nails. I like the natural look. Wink

shopafrolic · 14/01/2016 21:29

My fashion fault is not bothering with my make up

libertydoddle · 14/01/2016 21:33

All sounds good Cranagh. Lovely scarf and great that the bag and boots are perfect. We can be 'no shopping buddies' - the anti enablers!

My purchase today was these LKB boots in Chestnut. I have tried them out with various dresses and skirts and they meet the 'perfect' criteria. Definite keepers. In fact, I plan to wear them tomorrow Smile

Drywhitethanks · 14/01/2016 21:56

My fashion fault is wearing boring nude undies when I have drawer full of lovely stuff, because it just goes under everything. I'm all about the outside Grin am making more of an effort to wear the nice stuff day to day

Topazandpearl · 14/01/2016 22:20

Great boots Cranagh.

I am impressed with your resolve Lib.

I hope you are taking it easy Bling.

I was much happier with today's ootd: plum Me&Em dress, stone coloured loose H&M Cardigan, plum, pink, black and stone silk scarf, black opaques and Pistols, pearls, trench and conker tote handbag. A black handbag would have made more sense but I wanted to use that one and I thought it looked OK.

My fashion fault is taking too long to replace socks and hosiery - most of my black opaques are knobbly around the feet and only fit to be worn inside boots.

Cranagh · 14/01/2016 23:02

Lovely outfit, Topaz. You have reminded me of another fashion fault - holes in my socks!

Gorgeous, gorgeous boots, Liberty. Let's be strong now for a while!

libertydoddle · 14/01/2016 23:18

We can do it Cranagh. Thanks for the boot love, they are lush.

Longislandicetee · 14/01/2016 23:23

Hello! Have done much resting today. In between having to lay down the law to dd and ds wanting to look after me, it's been good. I hope Vegas is okay.

I love Blairs MK dress but put off by the fact that it's black and so a bit sensible! I did hover over the add to basket though.GrinI like Ambers new black dress too.

Utterly love love love Lib's new boots. They are divine. Now seriously, cc away lovey!Grin

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 14/01/2016 23:42

my fashion fault?oh god, i have so many of them, chipped nail polish, hardly wearing make up, not bothering with my hair, random outfit combos that make my dsis wince.....i could go on but on the plus side, i always have decent underwear, tights and my socks never have holes probably because i have SO many socks

practical assignment done today so just got to wait for grading, obviously wore my lucky pants so i'm hoping for a pass! hope the time i spent til 2am last night cutting and sticking things for my textural element were worthwhile, i am still finding bits of superglue on me right when i think ive got them all

Topazandpearl · 15/01/2016 07:03

Sorry, the boots are Libs not Cranagh's Blush. So gorgeous.

AmberNectarine · 15/01/2016 07:07

My fashion fault is never leaving enough time to get ready. For work, going out, anything, ever. My ability to dick about and waste time is unsurpassed. Then I panic, dowse myself in dry shampoo and leave a clothes hurricane to come home to.

I also wear very boring underwear - the same M&S thongs and bras every day. I have lots of pretty things but j prefer smooth lines and low maintenance, I've realised.

The Versace dress arrived and OMG, it is perfect. When I took it out of the box i thought 'dude, that is tiny', but actually it fits like a glove, so I'm very pleased. As of this month i'm doing a thing where I buy only one of each type thing per season, so this is my one 'going out dress', which is fine as it is literally made for me. Very happy.

Get well soon blingy - can't have you missing the MU.

libertydoddle · 15/01/2016 07:48

CC is on an extended rest now blingy. Hope you get a good rest today.

amber the dress sounds amazing.

all I will book venue today. Going to book same place as last July as people have said that worked well with a big group. Final call out for anyone else who might want to come - lunchtime, Sat 23rd, central London....

OOTD - my fabulous new boots(have mental Paulo Nutini soundtrack going on and a spring in my step), black opaques, monsoon a-line, knee length autumn navy skirt, cream silk shirt, cashmere v neck Goat cardigan, leopard print scarf and rust coloured peacoat. V happy with every bit if this outfit and nicely toasty!

Have a good Friday everyone.

shopafrolic · 15/01/2016 08:08

Lib lush boots. I love my LKB flats knee highs that I bought
Thought of you all as I pulled on my big seamless pants this morning Grin
Novice REST Smile
Going to see StarWars tonight, purely for DH, I have no interest - for those of you who are friends with me on FB take a look at my mate's synopsis of the story so far - very funny.
Boring outfit of Paige Jimmies, thermal socks, thermal vest, pink Boden cashmere sweater and grey snow boots. Too cold for anything more creative. DH leaves for the States on Monday :(

Dreamqueen · 15/01/2016 09:48

I bought a lovely navy dress in Cos yesterday. I wanted to do the link but thenrealised that I have no idea how to!
Cos has some lovely bargains at the moment.

safetyzone · 15/01/2016 09:52

Shop enjoy Star Wars, I wasn't fussed but it was really well done.

Lib would have loved to go to MU but it's dh birthday and have lots of daytime commitment that day, maybe next time!

Ootd very old French connection stripey turtleneck sweater and khaki trousers, couldn't be bothered to pull out a skirt.

First day of using my new purse, keep on wanting to stroke it!

QueenC · 15/01/2016 10:33

Morning. Ive been a bit AWOL as Dh has been v busy this week and is now away so I haven't had much me time to mumsnet. I'm just going to dive straight in....

My fashion fail is that I can be lazy especially on stay at home days and weekends and not bothering with nice clothes and jewellery.

Like amber ive realised I don't wear nice underwear and prefer just plain black or nude.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 15/01/2016 10:47

Hi all

Lib I LOVE those boots! Just as well they're sold out.

Blingy the MK dress is navy blue I hope! I thought of you when all the MK stuff came onto the site yesterday. Hope you're feeling better?

Amber the dress sounds fab, I love it when you find that perfect fit.

I did a H&M order last night, I hate ordering from them because they only deliver to residential addresses. But sometimes needs must.
Navy cashmere turtleneck and black jersey jacket. I tried the jacket on in white ages ago and really liked it, but left it because it was white.

Have a lovely Friday everyone.

KittyHello · 15/01/2016 11:02

Great boots Lib in fact I wore my tan knee length boots for the first time in years yesterday and had forgotten how good they look with a skirt.

Gorgeous colour purse Safety

My bad habits are not paying enough attention to grooming which is something I'll be addressing this year. Regular hair and salon appointments for me in 2016.

Ootd black JCrew Dannie pants, ecru Victoriana blouse, grey shearling pistols, so toasty in this weather, black Jaeger coat, LV animal print scarf, pom pom hat, sheepskin gloves, dove grey White Company cuff. Talking of Pistols, I was smiling at the amount of us who wore Pistols yesterday Grin

AmberNectarine · 15/01/2016 11:56

I am in sweats and uggs .

In fairness I have a surprise little boy at home who had a hypo this morning so I had to keep him off. He has had lots to eat and is now right as rain and playing with his snap circuits and watching all the movies his sister doesn't like!

Out tonight with DH, was thinking of debuting the dress but slightly concerned about being cold. We'll see!

VivaVegas · 15/01/2016 12:16

I am still here, signed off work as still unwell but getting better.
There are some awful bugs around this year, has knocked me for 6 and I've never been signed off work for anything other than surgery!
I have several deliveries from Hush and Massimo Dutti to open but haven't felt up to it, which isn't like me.
One thing I would like to try and get in what's left of the sales is some flat black riding boot style long boots, hear,y snapped some up in the Anna sale earlier this week but blinked and my size was gone! If anyone sees any,mp lease shout!
Thanks

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 15/01/2016 12:31

My dress arrived. I love the outnet! Great great service.

Viva good that you got signed off, as then you don't have the stress of waking up each day thinking "Am I well enough to go in?". Hope you feel better soon Flowers

Stokey · 15/01/2016 12:42

My fashion fails are endless: no nail varnish on fingers ever and hate pedis & manis, comfy shoes, battered bags, unstyled hair, very sparse make-up... What am I doing here?!

I've got a sapphire engagement ring Mara, I love the stone, it's got real depth and is a decent size. Dh sourced it first and then got someone in Hatton Gardens to set it.

OOTD brown knee length boots, brown woolly tights, denim pinafore over stripy tee and grey cashmere v-neck. I've barely worn my brown boots since having my colours done, but I'm do like them so made an effort to put them on today.

Cranagh · 15/01/2016 13:07

The jacket and sweater look great, Blair.

Get well soon, Viva.

OOTD new black 50/50 boots, black leggings, this jumper. Very chilly here.
