So summer is around the corner probably and we're looking forward to crops, short sleeved tops and flipflops Grin

Come and tell us all about your summer purchases, high street or high end, we love it all.

Ripped indigo Waven skinnies, leopard print Adidas flux trainers and a red fine-knit crew neck tee from H&M here.

DH is on holiday today, perilously hungover and wincing every time I say the word 'jagerbomb', which I do, frequently. Grin

We will go to the cinema later I think. Most excited as we are doing the Crystal Maze experience tomorrow, so I will be running round a warehouse in a lurid bomber jacket.

VivaVegas · 27/05/2016 10:11

Fridays is very casual in our office (a little too casual in some cases Shock! so wearing Whistles Indigo skinnies, grey converse and a grey slouchy sweatshirt.
Outnet order is mixed, dress is awful very thin material and looks like it coat £20 not £85 so that's going back. Sam Edelman sandals are lovely and the Rag and Bone top is nice and flattering. Need to try on again before I make a decision as did it very quickly last night when very tired.

Might have to pay Whistles a visit if I want a dress!
Has been a long hard slog this week, feeling very jaded and ready for the long weekend. Other than the 'girls' night out on Saturday, also out with DH and then have family things and all being well a bit of down time and some potting in the garden!

libertydoddle · 27/05/2016 11:06

Outfits all sound great! Love the idea of gold feather earrings dream.

Stokey · 27/05/2016 13:24

We're doing Crystal Maze in a couple of weeks Amber, let me know how it goes.

Hello Dragon, thanks for the skirt love, I wore it on the school run this morning but was a bit chilly so am back in cropped flares, yellow tee, puma sweat & Toms. Off to the country this afternoon for HT, hope the weather holds.

Love the SE heels Shop, my silver Gigis arrived today, they're perfect.

Stokey · 27/05/2016 13:26

Meant to say I also tried on the Warehouse jumpsuit, inspired by you Viva and looked about twice my normal size!

QueenC · 27/05/2016 14:05

Guess what I'm wearing? Skinny jeans and a navy blouse of course Grin. It's one of my favourite blouses which weirdly I don't wear that often but it's loose so hides my bloated premenstrual tummy which is full of chocolate.

Lots of random chores to do before we have a house full of guests. Soent lots of money on cheese ( my fridge stinks) but looking forward to fizz and cocktails over the weekend.

Dreamqueen · 27/05/2016 14:41

Win win day. Stopped in tk maxx on Tottenham Court Road and bought some Tom Ford glasses frames. They're black cats eye ones. Very happy £66 instead of £195.

Dreamqueen · 27/05/2016 15:20

Bargain £1.50 primark earrings. (Hangs head in shame)

Not very flattering is it Stokey! Looked so nice in the pictures too.

shopafrolic · 27/05/2016 17:14

DreamQueen TF sunnies? Amazing! WHY IS MY TKMaxx SO RUBBISH?!!!!!

libertydoddle · 27/05/2016 17:22

Oh they sound perfect for you dream. shop I am meeting my friend at a decent TKMaxx in about 40 mins. Shall I see if I can find you some sunnies? It's the branch where I found your HL leathers....

Dreamqueen · 27/05/2016 17:30

Shop my local one is usually rubbish. It was luck that made me look in there today.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 27/05/2016 18:09

Inspired in no small part by Linus, I have got my sister to pick me up this Zara jacket tonight. Asked DH what he thought and the response was "I really don't like it. It looks like an old granny's jacket" Grin

I really shouldn't be buying anything, but I do need to return this dress I bought from asos, as it's much more pinky red than the picture and my 5th red bodycon dress.

Envy of your TK Maxx trips Dream and Lib.

OOTD was red J crew trousers and grey Tippi with tan loafers and a gold skinny belt.

justasecond · 27/05/2016 18:21

Ootd is Equipment floral silk shirt (the same one that Mara has and Topshop lucas slim bf jeans along with beige studded loafers I wore to the mu. I have been making a real effort to wear my silk shirts more this week instead of saving for best. I wore my Equipment plaid print one earlier in the week with navy chinos and a printed cobalt and navy uniqlo one with khaki skinnies.
Love those earings Dream and good find on the TF glasses. I really like Joseph I used to buy my work trousers there pre dc. Sadly out of my budget these days.

justasecond · 27/05/2016 18:22

That jacket looks lovely Blair I love red atm

FedupNagging · 27/05/2016 18:31

Blair I pinned that jacket on my secret sales board after the MU - trying not to buy much before the sales. Like you, was inspired by Linus Grin

Sounds like you've had a successful shop Dream ; my local TK is terrible but one about 40mins away is much better if I can be bothered to go there.

Amber I had no idea there was such a thing as the Crystal Maze experience - have fun - dh used to love that show.

Shop thats really good news re your dh.

Stokey have a fab week away - and everyone else have a lovely weekend.

The early evening weather here is absolutely gorgeous so I'm wearing the purple/pink maxi dress I bought for a song in Oz last year & purple havs - am just about to liberate a bottle of wine from the fridge and sit outside.

look Bernice

FedupNagging · 27/05/2016 18:52

Am having a quick look at clothes but keeping credit card firmly hidden for the moment so am linking a few things I like:

Whistles t
Jumpsuit - for Viva maybe?
So pretty
Flamingo t shirt - this keeps popping up in those really annoying ads that never go away Hmm - did one of you buy it? I love it!
Perfect for holiday

AmberNectarine · 27/05/2016 19:14

I was thinking of getting that t shirt fedup, but have now decided to scratch my flamingo itch by ordering these sensible shoes.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 27/05/2016 19:55

those shoes are fantastic Amber really love them

libertydoddle · 27/05/2016 22:11

Excellent shoes amber.

No TKMaxx finds to report. I debated a very lovely Marni a-line cream skirt but decided I would rarely wear it. Lots of sunglasses and saw your cats eye TF frames dream. V nice.

Longislandicetee · 27/05/2016 22:53

Oh wow Amber, those shoes are fab-u-lous!

Speaking of shoes, I got a selfridges code this week (no where elseHmm) for 30% off shoes. I bought these red shoes.

It's been a rough week, I hit an emotional low on Sunday when it felt like I just spent the whole day yelling it dd. That's not good for her or me.Sad Thankfully, tomorrow afternoon we go away for half term and am now really looking forward to it. Been packing all day and i am quite excited now!Smile

Drywhitethanks · 28/05/2016 07:55

I'm in a very bad way due to irresponsible prosecco consumption last night....WHY? .....Sad and I have a big day today gym,lunch with friends then party feel absolutely awful. And I can't sleep , looked rubbish yesterday and now will have to hit the touche éclat just to look human. I'm an idiot.....but I had a great time.

Made a grand entrance, arrived at do, in my loud voice announced to the whole pub "I'm here"
Then pointed to young man sitting next to my former collegue, who for some reason I assumed to be her son (whom I've never met and who had said he'd give me a lift home) and continued
"And you're taking me home......."
He looked Confused and a bit Shock
"Um Dry this is X he's the new student!!!"
And I hadn't even started on the Wine Grin
really shouldn't be allowed out

Blair the Office red loafers arrived, dead ringers for the Guccis without the price tag, it's love. I adore the red Zara tweed jacket, sadly sold out in s online Sad
Shop great news about your DH.
Dream TF sunnies sound fab.

Drywhitethanks · 28/05/2016 07:57

Amber fantastic shoes.
Hugs to you Blingy.......you'll enjoy your break

Longislandicetee · 28/05/2016 08:23

Oh Dry! That is properly funny! Yes I know that's not a very good friend like thing to say when you're in pain, but still!BlushGrin
