Everyone * PM

Stokey · 21/09/2016 20:27

Sounds bliss everyone

Anyone watching Bake Off? I really like Candice's lipstick this week.

HappyGirlNow · 21/09/2016 20:42

Ooh I like her lippie too Grin

libertydoddle · 21/09/2016 20:44

Great jacket happy. I imagine it would suit your style.

Have a lovely evening everyone.

I can totally see you in that pinafore and bomber jacket Stokey. Pleated midi skirts don't do me any favours either.

Mara I'm up for a glass of bubbles some evening. But I may be in work rather than lounge wear Wink

Blair good to see you back.

Happy I like it so much I very nearly bought it when I got the metallic leather number. Couple of things: it comes up small and was already looking a bit tatty in the store.

Everyonelovessparkles · 21/09/2016 21:17

shop have forwarded the email. Hope it works for you!

HappyGirlNow · 21/09/2016 21:20

It does come up small amber - the M is quite tight on me!

I am only worried cause of my age I think.. A (hopefully!) pretty well-preserved 43.. I think if I was 25 I wouldn't think twice..

AmberNectarine · 21/09/2016 21:45

Yes, the XS only just did up. I really loved it, but worried it wouldn't wear well.

In leopard news I wore this skirt with a tight black merino crew neck and black pointy stiletto ankle boots today. Bit out there for a day when I was seeing clients but I kept the hair and makeup to a minimum and just wore my narrow rockstud cuff bracelet. Think it worked!

Dreamqueen · 22/09/2016 06:50

Nice skirt Amber can really see you rocking that look.

Collected my M&S leopard flats & New balance silver trainers yesterday, they are both keepers. I love the trainers already. Thank you Amber for the silver trainer inspo.

I also bought a dark green polo neck to wear under the Warehouse denim pinny that MNV found for me. ( Can't remember exactly who linked it, but thank you)

I'm going on my mission to exchange my pistols today, wish me luck. I wore them yesterdsy to make sure that zip def fell down. It does, every few hundred steps. So annoying. DP kept saying "do you know your boots are undone?" Lol "of course I do" was the reply! Might detour for a look in APC. I've never been there before.

is there anything in town that I should be making a beeline for while I'm up there?

Dreamqueen · 22/09/2016 06:53

Oh! missed your post about DF Shop hope he is getting the care he needs now.
Welcome back Blair

AmberNectarine · 22/09/2016 08:12

Doing a bit of maximalism today (basically piling any old shit on because I fancied wearing it):

H&M pussybow blouse covered in leopards
BR pink trousers
Gucci black tiger collar
TS gold glove shoes

Well, I like it. Sure it will attract some hilarious comments from the men in the office but I like to bait them sometimes, so I can make snide comments in return with impunity.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 22/09/2016 09:11

shop i hope your DF is getting the care he needs, it must be so exhausting for you all Thanks

so, i got a letter from the doctors yesterday telling me my latest blood results have shown i need medication but i have no idea what for! i don't know what's shown up or what meds they are giving me, i do have an appointment today anyway for something else so i'll find out then i'm sure. i'm guessing i need iron tablets or something like that which would definitely explain why ive been so exhausted all the time recently

OOTD is a white long sleeve shirt with tiny bees printed on it, a grey and red tartan circle skirt and black tights. will probably wear converse and a denim jacket when i go out for the doctors

VivaVegas · 22/09/2016 10:04

Shop, have seen your PM, let me know if everyone's email works for you, sounds like its the same as mine.

shopafrolic · 22/09/2016 11:31

Thanks Everyone and Viva the forwarded email worked and then I got my own this morning. Am now dithering between two items. The email doesn't say when the offer ends which is a PITA.

Stokey · 22/09/2016 13:08

I can't really work out the weather at the moment roasted in my rather synthetic bomber jacket this morning.

Interesting article in the Gruniad about the top trends in LFW. I doubt boob belts will catch on any time soon.

Dreamqueen · 22/09/2016 15:30

Pistol update:
As soon as I mentioned zip problem, they knew what i was talking about! Said it is very common. Offered to repair but or offered to try another new pair & if it happens again they will repair. Only 37 in store was badly marked so they are posting them to home.

While I was in there a very trendy couple came in & he was wearing gucci shoes They actually matched the rest of his very upmarket outfit.

libertydoddle · 22/09/2016 15:37

Good service Acne - well done! I'm amazed you actually saw someone wearing those shoes Dream!

And Shock at boob belts Stokey...looks sore.

OP posts:
OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 22/09/2016 15:42

well, it turns out i am deficient in iron, all the b vitamins, vitamin d and folic acid! no wonder i've been dead on my feet with exhaustion really. treatable though but they've said at least 3-6 months before i feel back to 100%, seems such a long time but hopefully it won't take that whole estimated period to work.

Glad boots are sorted dream and you will hopefully not have the same problem again

BOOB belts?!?!?!?! Shock

libertydoddle · 22/09/2016 16:34

Goodness me One, you must feel dreadful. Good that it's diagnosed now and can be sorted.

Hello everyone.
Amber I love the boots thought you had some already you'll look amazing in them. Love the look, but sadly not me at all.

One I am toasterless too, but not as dramatic as you.

Shop

This weather is making getting dressed tricky. Like Liberty I wore opaque so yesterday, felt like finding my old friends again but hot come the afternoon. I'm sick of ankle grazer/sleeveless top/ cardi/pointy flat combo for work......desperate to get boots and jumpers on now sad aren't I?

shopafrolic · 22/09/2016 20:15

Glad all sorted Dream
Take it easy One
Awful afternoon at hospital. Am off for a P&P night - pasta and prosecco - don't tell Sleep Grin
Wearing Breton top, Paige jimmies and red Jigsaw heels, red lipstick to hide the black shadows under my eyes.
Ordered the giraffe print shirt from a Whistles so thanks to those who helped with the 25% off email.

QueenCobalt · 22/09/2016 21:10

Hello everyone, kids social lives are getting the better of me-I never seem to have any time to myself in the evenings anymore.
Hugs tomshop and one.

My boots are here. Perfect size and I love them but just need to try with more jeans to make sure they work with everything I own. I may have also made a couple of other purchases.....

QueenCobalt · 22/09/2016 21:12

top. Not my usual thing as it's very patterned but as soon as I saw it I knew I had to try it. Love it especially the star studs around the collar. Shock at the price though although have already worn to work today with black trousers (rather than keeping for best!)

QueenCobalt · 22/09/2016 21:17

And this. Love it but need to try it with another vest/cami underneath as I hate the one it came with. My navy lace blouse search could finally be over.

I'm now officially bankrupt and have used money from my savings this month so I need to be frugal in the next couple of months to build them back up again famous last words
