Chatting about clothes we probably don't need..

[JackandDiane]

nothing fancy - just normal clothes

all welcome

Fingers crossed, Kanye. The jumpsuit is definitely on the roomy side, so you should be OK. I tried mine on again this afternoon (with accessories - silver sandals and a necklace) and wafted about in front of a mirror like an extra from Abigail's Party.

I still haven't seen it. Left in disgust after size 12 trews were too tight!

Could someone tell me if the Uniqlo Cardigan jacket and jersey jackets are the same thing? Link would be good as I make myself s shopping list for pay day! Hurrah!

This is the one I've been going on about, the jersey jacket looks a bit smarter and is lined but is a good price in the sale.

Taybert- thank you but can't see a link- am I being dim?

Picked up this top today. Will polarise opinion, I'm sure

Amber - I'm in the 'well if you like it' wtf camp. But then I'm not into the whole cold shoulder/ Bardot thing at the moment.

I'm quite interests in the cardi jackets. I need something smartish for work and I'm always cold.

Oooops, no, me being dim, apologies here

So, I was looking for some plain black leather high block heels for work. Erm

Amber, I'm sorry but reminds me of a toddler trying to dress themselves for the first time.

Ah yes, I regularly have to sort out a 3 year old who looks like that!

Sorry, Amber, you're on your own with that one. Having said that, I do have a total dislike of anything asymmetric, one shouldered, side bunned, dippy hemmed etc. etc.

I read that as "side bummed" Thought I was going to have to google.....

taybert - they look exactly like sensible work shoes.
Thanks for the link to Uniqlo. What's the sizing like? I'm 12 in most places.

I'm a 10 and I've got small so maybe medium but they are stretchy and have a bit of room so could be small. That's not helpful, sorry.

Very nice heels, taybert. I could have done with the mink ones last week...

No no, I mean those sideways hairdos - plaits down one shoulder, buns over one ear, yuck yuck.

I'm not crazy about side partings, tbh...

Cointreau I have quite an asymmetric face after breaking my nose (twice) and my jaw. Can I still stay?

Those uniqlo jackets look useful for those who need to look civilised on a daily basis.

I really need to sort out my wardrobe before I buy more clothes - have had so few clothes for so long (three lots of pregnancy/BF/inevitable weight gain and loss over the past 8 years) that I've rather minimised my wardrobe space and now it's looking ridiculously full!

I like it Amber. But sheesh summer clothes everyone? What's the point

Some of us are going on three hot holidays this summer , also I live in London, it's warmer here.

I thought it might be marmite, but I like it. 'Toddler trying to dress itself 'fits quite well into my look overall.

I quite like the shape of that, Amber, but not the paleness - pale blue reminds me of hospital gowns. I'd like it in black (Remus' usual cry). Think you'd need to be very waif-like as well, to get away with it (ie you'll probably be fine, but I wouldn't!).

I am currently trying to put together more of a 'wet weekend camping in Cornwall' sort of holiday wardrobe.

hopefully 20% off Hush till Thursday using code Smile

It's not the shape so much, it's that collar bit that I think makes it look like it's been put on wrong. I wouldn't be brave enough to wear it, that's all!

Ooh nearly that probably means sale time is round the corner! Will either cave and buy it at 20% or hold firm till sale...
