I bought these last week and they're lovely - if I ever get to wear them rather than my thick woolly tights and ankle boots, winter coat and scarf... so today I bought a black cashmere cardigan - much more realistic...

Remus have you really not bought that orange skirt yet? Grin

wiltingfast · 26/04/2016 09:31

omg don't talk to me about expensive shirts. I fell in love with this Preen shirt on sale locally for c£250 but but but Grin poss too wintry and too hard to keep pristine etc etc. SO am reluctantly still just thinking about it.

Think I might actually buy this Wildfox jumper though. it's bluer than it looks. I'm thinking will look good over white jeans in hahaha the Summer, plus the black Geox shoes I linked to earlier. which have now bought as can easily send back Grin it's only 1 degree here today---

Also have this from COS which I think will work well too...

it would be quite a new look for me!

wiltingfast · 26/04/2016 09:31

The orange skirt is cool Remus and you cannot wear it if you DON'T OWN IT Grin

privateandconfidential · 26/04/2016 09:48

Can anyone recommend where to get a fitted Blazer with 3/4 length sleeves? Want to wear with jeans.

wiltingfast · 26/04/2016 09:57

Zara? They generally do them. If you want better quality I saw a nice grey biker one in episode in HoF.

polyhymnia · 26/04/2016 10:38

wilting just to say I have those black Geox shoes and really like and recommend them. Versatile and so comfortable and wear really well. I also have them in darkish pewter from last year, which I love, but they only seem to be doing 'brighter' metallics this year and the gold isn't really my colour.

JackandDiane, I think you win the Mumsnet award for courageous optimism.

I am over-awed by your ability to think of bare legs.

I am ashamed to say that I am losing the belief that Summer will ever arrive.

Sad

Loved the Cos pumps but the chill wind is actually stopping me getting very excited about clothes at the moment.

balkan I like the Me and Em jeans, how does the sizing come up? What size would I need for size 10/12?

I've just bought these from Hush:

Striped ruched skirt:

It is definitely the weather- I am wearing an outfit I really liked at the start of October but so bored now!

JackandDiane · 26/04/2016 12:13

With bare legs?

LoadsaBlusher · 26/04/2016 12:52

I got this shirt from Tesco , have been wearing it with ripped knee skinnies and black espadrille skater style shoes recently. The weather looks lovely but there is still a chill in the air, so chucking a biker on over the top

lets talk  clothes. Anyone got their eye on anything?
wiltingfast · 26/04/2016 13:29

I like that shirt Loadsa, bit prone to buying loadsa shirts here Grin

LoadsaBlusher · 26/04/2016 13:37

Me too 😄 They have it In grey with white stripe, have been considering that one too...

KanyesVest · 26/04/2016 14:06

I braved a pencil skirt and bare legs this morning. Had to go home between school and work to change into trousers Hmm. I'm so bloody cold now that I'm thinking of investing in the last bits of cashmere on uniqlo...

Iamblossom · 26/04/2016 14:30

I am looking for a yellow lightweight sweater now.

Was quite inspired by an outfit on Pinterest I saw - red skinnies, white shirt, blue denim jacket, tan ballets belt and bag. All of which I have so am going to try it out this weekend.

balkanscot · 26/04/2016 14:31

Dancegirl, I am afraid I don't know as I have only ever bought those ruched Breton tops from them - and I am still undecided. I have got 2 of these tops in size M, 1 in size S, and TBH, I think S is a little bit on the tight side (I am also 10-12), and M is a little bit too loose & too long Confused. If I ever get to buy (hurry up, pay day, hurry up!) the Me+Em jeans I will go for 27" and keep my fingers crossed that they fit.
