[FedupNagging]

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

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

Continued from Here

the one in one out rule is now in effect. i had a delivery this morning of 4 dresses and a skirt so as per the rule, i have bagged four dresses and a skirt for the charity shop. it was very hard deciding what to get rid of though, i felt like i couldnt give up anything for a while so had to walk away then go back to it. seems so silly when it's clothes doesn't it

Well done on the one in one out policy One I wish I could do that, (clothes hoarder)
I'm planning an enforced no summer clothes plan. I won't need much summer clothes in this weather. I've just turned the heating on, it's freezing here.

I had a massive, ruthless cull the other day. About half my wardrobe gone! I just got fed up of never being able to find the things I wanted and a lot of it no longer fitted. Feels like a relief!

I bet it did Amber! I really need to do that too, but my full wardrobe is the only thing stopping me from buying more and more clothes at the moment I need to implement One's policy and get a new hobby.

blair i've found it's the best way for me to stop myself just buying more and more. i already have so much as i've previously spoken about, that to add more without getting rid of anything would just be stupid and frankly ridiculous. the one in one out thing means i really consider if i want something now, whether i want it more than something i've already got. seems to be working so far i think. apart from the delivery ive had today, ive not bought much recently, well not as much as i normally might i dont think

one in one out no way....just impossible

So I saw the jacket and agree Blair I think the fabric would pull a bit. Thanks for your kind comment about my outfit...much needed after a shopping trip with 15yr old , always feel like I'm ancient and have lost my way fashion wise because most of the stuff we look at obv just isn't me.
Bought her some Suoerstars which she's thrilled with and looks so cute in.
Bought myself a couple of tops...will link later.

A guy in Office came up to me and said "great shoes"!!!! Then realised I wasn't his wife !!!!! V embarrassed, I said "at least you said you liked them"

Runs in with exciting news for Marsha
Millie & Hugo are back together
Runs out again.

Certainly not lost your way Dry, there would be something wrong if we wanted to dress like 15 year olds! I think that as I age and style evolves I can look back and still trace a thread of continuity through my personal style (with blips along the way of course). Think there will always be a bit of '90s nostalgia in me for example.

So for tonight have gone for v old navy silk midi dress with navy Rupert Sanderson heels. Will take a big scarf in case its cold.

Well done on the wardrobe culling One and Amber.

dream have the heating on here too, crazy weather. Am going to the seaside tomorrow, its going to be dismal!

For once the NW is getting the best weather (sorry, don't mean to gloat ). I am wearing my new lemon shirt with navy skinnies rolled up (cf summer thread). Had a log burner installed today, may need it if the gold weather travels north!

Had a massive cull last year before our house move, haven't missed anything yet.

Shop brilliant love the update. Just remembered it's Prof Green that is out!

My day today: had a day off with dh, nanny still has to come to do right hours. So breakfast out, lunch at different location but same type of place with drinks, quite tipsy. Then gallery. Jeff Koons in Damien Hirst's gallery - incredible, highly recommend. Mara have you been?

Then back home by Uber, and had a sleep from feeling so over indulgent!

Same again tomorrow. But will be including Ryan Gosling at the movies. Haven't done this for so long.

Dh says shopping at Liberty must feature, but am loathe to do fp just before the sales

Mara we haven't booked anything yet, may put it on the list of things to do tomorrow.

Blair we stayed at the Hudson Hotel on the recommendation from a friend, it was fantastic. (Although small room for price, but ok if you don't stay in there much)

Don't worry guys, I've replenished the wardrobe by buying a Gucci clutch.

dry can really picture you in your outfit. I would have thought that red loafers would go with pretty much everything you own.
marsha sounds like lovely days.
amber and one well done on the culling. I cull twice a year so never feel like I have too much stuff.
mara what was the parcel....??

kate moss for equipment. Would have been seriously tempted by the star scarf if it was navy instead of black.

Bought this top...looks nice with jeans or for going out with black Skinnies and courts.

And this basic to go with khaki SKINNIES. Tried with khaki coloured drawstring , loose fitting trousers hopeful must be the 6/7th pair ive tried.....look great in my head/on other people, terrible on me.....don't do "floppy"

Infact I don't do:
Floppy
Wafty
Voluminous
Although I keep trying

Oh and weather check.....in the NE it was freezing but the sun peeked out at approx 4pm, thinking of putting heating back on

Love that halter neck dry. I used to wear tops like that before dc but now I find that I can't get a strapless bra to give me a decent shape/lift to wear underneath.

Like that Mango t-shirt in Ivory dry

Morning all from sunny Scotland! Can't believe I'm off work in Scotland and weather is actually ok..

Well, just placed my NAP order and feel a bit at the amount but am justifying it that a) it's from a bonus at work and I'm spending less then a third of said bonus and saving the rest, 2) it's stuff I've had my eye in for ageeees and 3) if I don't totally love anything when it arrives it's going back..

Tan chloe Love love love the burgundy but I need the tan more.. Was a toss up between this and the Faye but my heart was with the Drew.

This mini Gucci which seems naughty as I already have the black Soho Disco but feel this is much dressier for at night with the oval shape and chain strap. And I can't get it out of my head

This medium sized Gucci as was needing a mid size bag I could fit iPad etc in.. Have my Saint Laurent tote but the leather seems quite delicate so reluctant to use it much.

And these L&J watches.. I wanted a real watchmakers watch eg Omega, TAG, Breitling but they're all so traditional looking and I prefer more modern.

Gold watch and
gold and black

Also just about to order the Gucci double-G thick belt in tan and black for hip belts and the thin version in black for a waist belt..

Thick gucci

Thin Gucci

And I think that's enough to be going on with though there's a solid gold Astley Clarke bracelet I want engraved with my initials but it's currently not in stock

[[http://www.astleyclarke.com/uk/plain-engravable-disc-cosmos-bracelet-37124ynob? Bracelet]]

I really want a pair of heeled Rockstuds but where I live it's all cobbles and they wreck shoes/heels.. So no way would I put a pair of £650ish shoes on my feet! They'd be for hotel stays only so I can't really justify.

Well done to those who have culled their wardrobes! I badly need to do this. I'm trying to follow the other thread on here re wearing each item and throwing it away if it's not perfect. I also want to banish most of the synthetic materials from my wardrobe (obviously I have synthetic items I love which will escape the cull). I really need to cut my wardrobe back. It's so packed that I forget stuff I love and it's stressful trying to take anything out. And I have loads of wardrobe space! A plus point is that I don't tend to spend a lot on clothing or shoes (just accessories!) unless for special occasions so easier to bin/give away/donate to charity.. Still find it hard to part with stuff though.. Keep meaning to read the Kondo book.

Ooh managed to pre-order the bracelet. Should be dispatched in next month. Full house!

Wow, that's a good haul Happy! Love those Gucci belts, have been considering one myself.

Here is my new baby. The print is just so, so beautiful. Feels very summery! As usual, it is a men's bag - I always seem to end up with these!

Oh wow Happy... those links are a feast for the eyes on a Friday morning! Well done on the bonus! I have that gold watch and I LOVE it, I'm getting a more high end one for my birthday but currently I wear this one every day. All the bags are fab and the belts will be so useful. Can't wait to hear whether you keep it all!

Dry what a fab print.

Amber love your new Gucci... you are really hitting it hard this week on the nights out btw I love it!

Thanks for the hotel recs Topaz and Marsha. We really need to book soon.

Happy fantastic haul. Beautiful Chloe bag and I like the sound of the bracelet.

Amber that print is lovely. Great idea looking at men's bags - I loved the LV one you had at the MU.

Blair I really want to know what watch you are getting

Mango T-shirt is lovely Dry, how does it feel on?

Blair, the kids have been away so we've been making the most of it and living like child free people. They're back later today, so tonight we'll be on the sofa I need it

Lovely print amber Yes love the Gucci belts, the girl on the FashionMeNow blog is always wearing hers, looks fab.

blair that's good to know that the watch is nice! Do you know what watch you'll be going for? Like I said, I really want a high end one but can never see anything I really fancy.

Thanks lib I am excited re bracelet
