Oh that would look stunning freshprincess, get them and the skirt!

taybert those bags are gorgeous and I am absolutely not a handbag kind of person. But am constantly on the lookout for a nice one with actual bloody internal sections/pockets. No idea why bag designers seem to think we want to fish around in the depths of our bags for hours every frigging time we need to open the door

I've got a mid calf tulle skirt that I wear with a linen-T. I've tried a more formal look but it makes me feel like I'm playing dressing up - never pulled it off

SayAGreatBigThankyou · 14/06/2016 19:38

I used to have a crush on Herr Flick (ref to earlier thread, not just sudden weird announcement).

I need a tulle skirt - quite where I'd wear it, who knows, but the ASOS one linked is perfect.
Got GAP girlfriend jeans in white to try - maybe when summer decides to rear its pretty face.

Need trainers. Not keen on converse or superga, and ideally under £50.

Where do you wear your tulle skirt?

WhisperingLoudly · 14/06/2016 19:46

Tulle skirt mostly gets worn to bars.

I wore it for lunch once but felt even with a t shirt felt too much for day time - although this is aggravated by fact that I cannot wear with trainers/flats due to being really short.

JackandDiane · 14/06/2016 19:49

i cant do full skirts at all

To be honest I have items that flatter me more - I'm a bit short waisted- but I really love the look

Quite fancy this leather jacket

SayAGreatBigThankyou · 14/06/2016 20:05

that's beaut whispering. Am far too uncool to go into a real All Saints shop, but really like their stuff.
At the other end of the cool scale, have just ordered 3 pairs of M&S shoes (espadrilles, wedges and t-bar metallic flats) to try and to get the famous Beauty Box. Can I keep it if they all get returned, d'ya know?

Depends on the occasion keep on - where are you planning on wearing it?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2016 21:48

Blimey. I've only been out for a few hours and this thread is already huge!

I do like that khaki M&S dress and have linked to it a time or two. I'm not convinced I like it enough to try it on though. I think it needs to be shorter.

I like full skirts (as I have probably made clear by now!) but I think tulle maybe only okay on the very young and beautiful. I'd look like a pantomime dame in one, I think, or one of those toilet roll cover ladies.

JackandDiane · 14/06/2016 21:54

its mid June. THERE IS NO NEED FOR MORE SUMMER CLOTHES

Can i have opinions on this bag pls? Am still looking for the perfect tote - and I want it to be a classic design rather than anything trendy that would date. But there's a fine line between classic & granny. Have I crossed it already?

JohnCheese · 14/06/2016 22:09

I love summer clothes. They suit me so much better than rest of the year clothes. There's so bloody little need for them in this country dagnammit

JohnCheese · 14/06/2016 22:14

Bag is ok. I like that it closes with a zip. A bit 'classic' for me. How much is it?

Ha that's a good question - I can't find the prices! Probably not a good sign... Im struggling to find a fairly rigid and big tote that zips up.
