Ffs, I've not been on here for nearly a week (you fell off my thread list Shock) and now I've just lost a long & probably tedious post!

Anyway, have caught up on all the links but there are too many I like to comment on but Dry can definitely see you in the Coast lace dress - the green one. Also loving the grensons loafers - my Dune flatforms are v similar.

Amber the &OS links just take me to the main page but the mini skirt is really nice.

Everyone you have my sympathies, being sleep deprived and having to carry on as normal is awful.

Happy good luck with the no spend/no alcohol October. Am Grin at you front loading on the spend front before the end of the day!

Shop hope you're coping Flowers

I am loving my ootd today - nothing special but I think looks nice on me and I received a compliment earlier: Black BR ankle skimmers, l/s white t under Jigsaw s/s batwing jumper in raspberry and M&S pointy flats.

Oh and I hardly ever wear a winter coat. Last winter I mostly wore my Boden coatigan or biker jacket with hat, scarf and gloves. Unless I was out with the dog then it was my duvet coat - desperately need a new one but don't want to spend the money!

everyone and bernice - glad I have some chums Grin

First thing I am doing is deleting the Zara app. Can you ban sites on Safari do you know? Confused

Yes fedup Grin worried I miss out on something amazing! Oh this is going to be hard!! Sad

Well, the Office boots arrived and.... I love them! The gold isn't as brassy in real life. I'll only wear with a very plain outfit but they're certainly eye catching!

HappyGirlNow · 30/09/2016 14:25

These velvet Office boots also arrived - I like them so keeping them..

HappyGirlNow · 30/09/2016 14:26

Love those boots amber

Merriboo · 30/09/2016 15:49

Happy glad you like the boots- they are a good dupe for the toga pullas.
Amber ohh I like that shirt!
I'm aiming not to spend this month, but still have a huge hankering for the red1970 belly frued jumper, just not sure if it's a bit ubiquitous now. I'm always cold, so aspirations of pretty shirts/blouses tend to lose to jumpers and I wonder if this would be a good transitional one before I snuggle into cashmere for the winter.

HappyGirlNow · 30/09/2016 16:27

Thanks merri knew they were like some other make, couldn't remember what. Blogger DMBL40 wears those..

HappyGirlNow · 30/09/2016 16:30

Oooh like these now..

HappyGirlNow · 30/09/2016 16:48

Oh was checking out the allwornout blog to see my Office boots in action and she had these leopard print heels - just ordered..

HappyGirlNow · 30/09/2016 17:05

Oh God - how can I possibly go a month without spending???

There are 2 items I am still waiting on notification have came back in stock in Zara so I'm allowing myself them in October and that's it and I fully blame Zara stock control for this Grin

maradesbois · 30/09/2016 17:43

Hello,

Love Eve worn out Happy, she really knows her style. Also love Scottish expressions, keep them coming! The office boots look really like the Chloé studded ones.

Good article Shop, man repeller had a really good response too, can't link it as on a train but she has a good take on it all (and points out that she does not do paid to wear outfits at shows). MR is about the only blog I read because the writing is good and original with proper trained journalism behind it. Must be galling to lose your seat at shows to 'influencers' judged on their Instagram followers after putting in years of training, unpaid internships on magazines etc.

justa Flowers I love you for calling me edgy, it made my day Grin.

fedup nice outfit. Love people's ootds, we should do it more. Was v happy with mine today too: blue topshop Leigh skinnies with red & navy check Marant shirt, red Gucci slipper loafers (getting loads of wear out of these atm) and first outing for navy APC trench which think will prove to be a great buy. Also have nails painted a lovely berry shade, very autumnal.

Shop great news on progress with df's care, thinking of you.

FedupNagging · 30/09/2016 18:03

Nice shirt Amber - I very nearly tried it on last week - don't know what stopped me really!

Happy I think Amber has a pair of toga pulla's. Like the M&S leopard heels too.

Mara I love hearing everyone's ootd too (yours sound lush especially the Gucci's). I've not been buying much at all so have to resort to ootd's to keep my fashion credentials such as it is.

That said, I have just ordered a pair of wide legged trousers. I tried them in store a while back but didn't buy as too big so finally got around to ordering the size down. Also ordered some lingerie but won't bother linking my granny knickers underwear.

FedupNagging · 30/09/2016 18:17

Mara I've sent you a pm.

HappyGirlNow · 30/09/2016 19:20

Really tempted by the red office boots / got 3 hours to decide! But out drinking prosecco - last fling - so think I'll be having them Grin

libertydoddle · 30/09/2016 20:56

You still have 15 mins Happy Grin love the speed shopping, and yes please come to a mu!
mara lol you are my secret mnv style crush, love what you buy
amber love that shirt, I was just looking at it the other day but wasn't sure about the viscose, does it feel nice?
shop hope all goes well with your df on monday Flowers
Just remembered I got www.stories.com/gb/Ready-to-wear/Tops/Tigress_Silk_Shirt/582942-125106028.1this from stories recently.
My cos order came, its all going back apart from some black cotton trousers which are too boring to link

HappyGirlNow · 30/09/2016 23:54

I now have 6 mins for a buy Shock

HappyGirlNow · 01/10/2016 00:13

Ha justa we cross-posted Grin

QueenCobalt · 01/10/2016 08:21

Grin at happy-just how many bags and shoes do you own? You must be rivalling amber and blingy now.

Nothing too exciting to report-I've been enjoying wearing some of my old autumnal favourites. I was thinking of libs advice yesterday when at 10 degrees I was cold in my mac and thinking no way could I survive without a winter coat! My feet were also a bit cold so it's either time for boots or pop sox!!

I've had my hair cut which has made me feel a million times better about myself. I've swapped my 30spf summer moisturiser to my 15spf one and my skin does seem a bit better. im also trying not to use my blackhead scrub on my cheeks as I think that was irritating them. I basically have to treat my face in 2 different ways-the nose and chin are like that of a pubescent teenager and the rest like an old lady!

BerniceBobsHerHair · 01/10/2016 08:53

Love those boots and shirt Amber

Happy - almost 9 hours in...how are you feeling? Grin

I really like those leopard heels. Wish they did them in a flat version though!

I would really like a floral midi dress similar to this but can't find anything that works. I also don't want poly but would accept viscose.

I like hearing ootd too. PJs for me at the moment Grin but will be P Pilotto for target red black and white top, cropped frayed jeans and white superstars.

Stokey I have started wearing my blue stans with opaques too now.

Marsha good to see you back.

Shop Flowers

Justa I love hearing whose style people most admire/covet on MNV.

I did a bit of last minute ordering too yesterday - managed to get a grey tippi at a discount which I think will be really useful.

HappyGirlNow · 01/10/2016 11:38

QueenC TOO many, particularly shoes! Blush I am also planning a declutter this month.. Grin

bernice I am feeling motivated so far, but out for dinner tonight so the alcohol ban will really kick in then! Are you still feeling motivated re the no-spend? M&S do have leopard flats but only a size 3 left.. That should help your no spend Grin

Feeling motivated re the no spend but still have a few parcels in transit so I'll see how I feel after they come Hmm

Currently contemplating deleting all my shopping apps and unsubscribing from emails..

HappyGirlNow · 01/10/2016 11:40

bernice ordered these a couple of days ago Zara leopard print trainers

Stokey · 01/10/2016 17:00

I tried on that shirt too a couple of weeks ago Amber and the other galaxy one. Really love them but didn't do much for me. I couldn't view your link Justa but generally think &OS are great for silk.

Maybe I'll try my white ones with opaques Bernice. My OOTD are quite boring. Today I'm in R&B straight dark jeans, JCrew grey & black striped jumper, white & cobalt Stans & TS bomber when I ventured out.
