Have a great evening shop even though I hate them

Drywhitethanks · 13/10/2016 20:31

Everyone I really love that dress, beautiful colour ........ But if you need putting off, I never wear current stuff to a wedding because, and I speak from experience, another guest could turn up in the same dress don't worry though, despite looking fabulous I hopped back in a taxi, whizzed home, got changed, missed the ceremony, had to be dropped off at end of long drive, snuck onto terrace hiding behind hedges and joined DH who had a glass of champers ready Grin never again

Re knitwear.....merino is the best wool for me. Love the stuff, silky, not itchy and washes well. Don't own a single piece of cashmere.

Oh and I've snapped out of fashion wallowing and am back.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 13/10/2016 20:43

Lol Happy I really don't think you should attempt another no-spend month Grin couple of skirts here and here.

mara it was a risk Wink I've never bought from P8 before but I had exhausted the search. Anyway - I'm very happy with it. The belt is great, and the tan piping and gold hardware make it look smart.

shop great to hear DF is home, that must be really nice for him. I think it would definitely be worth you seeking out some long enough OTK boots, they would look amazing on you.

HappyGirlNow · 13/10/2016 20:48

Blair Grin I think you're right! Oh I already have leather skirts, its the shirt I need..

I've got the skirt in the attached photo, although I've put on some weight since I bought it, I dread to think what the split would do if I sat down in it at the moment - like someone said earlier, I'd be looking like I was up for a hook up 😂

Aw bugger amber that would have been just the ticket! It's fab! Wouldn't mind slightly less expensive mind...

HappyGirlNow · 13/10/2016 20:49

Ooops skirt here.. French Connection..

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 13/10/2016 21:00

Doh I totally read shirt as skirt Grin was just about to ask where the skirt is from. It's lovely!

shopafrolic · 13/10/2016 21:02

Not going to Christine and the Queens till Nov Amber how can you hate them?!

Dreamqueen · 13/10/2016 21:20

Waving from cocktail heaven Wink loving all the new purchases. My credit card is glad of getting a rest but I'm getting lots of ideas Smile

maradesbois · 13/10/2016 21:29

Hmm, yes, everything that you say is true lib, am going to send them back and buy trousers I can wear in winter instead.

Amber if I could borrow the gold ones that would be amazing! Thank you FlowersFlowers. Will pm you.

Happy fair play, one thing at a time. Think that the new boots look really good, lots better.

Dry I can just picture you sneaking through the shrubbery in heels, could be a film plot!

maradesbois · 13/10/2016 21:33

to Dream, holiday sounds bliss

Everyonelovessparkles · 13/10/2016 21:35

blair I read happys needas skirt too and wondered why amber had linked a shirt Grin

happy I think the second pair of boots look much nicer. Hope they fit.

shop glad your DF is home, hope your DM is ok and going to get some help.

dry I don't think I need to worry about anyone else having that dress at the wedding. It's a cousin's wedding and let's just say i don't think her friends are lk bennet shoppers Grin bitchy Well done on your impressive outfit turnaround though.

I've ordered the dress. I figured I would just keep thinking about it,so at least if I try it I will know what it looks like on and if I like it enough to keep. If I do keep it though, I might have to impose a spending ban!

dream glad you're having a nice holiday!

QueenCobalt · 13/10/2016 22:01

mara love that IM dress, it's gorgeous. Also love that I was your inspiration for velvet shoes. Good call on the choos-they don't look anything special in the picture. Handbag is a much better idea.

Has anyone ever heard WIT speak? Oh my goodness, I expected an Italian accent but she's so posh! Totally different than I expected. I was watching her on inta stories as I was intrigued what it was.

AmberNectarine · 13/10/2016 22:33

I have met WIT. There is a trace of a accent IRL.

mara awesome, have replied!

happy I immediately remembered it because I wanted it too!

AmberNectarine · 13/10/2016 22:34

And yes, I do have the Lovisas in cobalt suede. Because, you know, shoes...

Merriboo · 13/10/2016 22:37

Queen hah, me too!!! It's intriguing to hear a few others too 😂
Blingy is it the Royal drys that you and Blair have? I've got a suede pair and love them.
everyone I love love that lkb dress, so pretty 😍

All the talk of merino and cashmere is timely, my circulation is really bad so I'm always cold... Snuggly jumpers all the way for me. Have a few gap merinos and cashmere from various places which I usually hand wash. Have my eye on a jigsaw roll neck but have developed a hankering for Bella Freud until it's full on layers and roll neck time. Probably the red 1970 but I can't decide if it's a bit over/seen on too many?

Merriboo · 13/10/2016 22:41

Sigh, Amber you have such a fab shoe collection. 💙👠

Longislandicetee · 13/10/2016 23:27

Meriboo yes that's right the Royal Dry. They are great boots!

Mara yes I am wearing the 2 clic clacs together this week but my intention is to wear the orange for fun with jeans and the navy if I want to be more "formal". The Choos were the right item to give up but they are lovely!!

Everyone yes I got propositioned!Blush

Shop you in OTK boots. Hubba hubbaGrin

I remember Dry had a leather skirt from Jaegar last year. It made me want one for ages. Thank goodness I resisted!

No mega shopping spree to report this week, the fall of the pound has seen to that!

Everyonelovessparkles · 14/10/2016 07:59

You do have a good shoe collection amber and bags, skirts, tops etc Wink

mara good call on the choos and those gold star sandals of amber's are beautiful.

blingy Grin

meriboo I like the rainbow heart Bella Freud jumper. The 1970 is nice too, does the year have a meaning for you?

libertydoddle · 14/10/2016 08:10

Don't mention the pound Blingy. I find it hugely ironic that the whole Brexit thing started with a bunch of anti Europe Tories, most of whom are also very involved in keeping UK out of the Euro and now the end result is a currency that in a best case will have parity with the Euro. Idiots Angry

And breathe....back to clothes. OOTD leopard print loafers, orange Me &Em shift dress, deeply unfashionable nude tights, Goat cashmere v neck cardigan, a scarf with floral pattern in various shades of green and brown, teal Hobbs oversized coat. Navy Pliage. Feel like I have slightly to much going on with this outfit Smile

morning

lib your outfit sounds fab, i wouldn't change a thing about it but i love that sort of look

good call on the choos mara nice as they are

more packing to do today after ive been to the supermarket, oh the glamorous life i lead Grin

QueenCobalt · 14/10/2016 11:29

everyone that rainbow jumper is so cute.

Ootd is boring-pine green jumper and jeans. Navy coat and damson scarf to go out. I think pine green and damson is my new favourite colour combo.

Everyonelovessparkles · 14/10/2016 15:37

Your outfit sounds nice lib as does yours queenc. That colour combo sounds nice and autumnal. I always seem to revert to black in winter which is a habit I'm trying to break as it does get a bit boring.

AmberNectarine · 14/10/2016 17:24

Show wardrobe has swelled a little further today.... Whoops!

They are lovely though.

AmberNectarine · 14/10/2016 17:26

Funniest thing is, I brought them home and showed DH. He said 'I thought you were going to get those long ones?' (meaning the Highlands). I said 'I did get them... I wore them out with you on Friday'. He hadn't even noticed! Makes me think I could get a lot more past him!

QueenCobalt · 14/10/2016 19:17

Thanks everyone. Weirdly I hardly wear black anymore despite being a winter and allowed to wear it. I have black trousers and love a lbd but much prefer navy.
