God I would LOVE it if the DHL man said something like that to my DH. But I don't return anything.

End of a busy work week. So glad! Need to do a bit tonight but determined not to write off another weekend!

Ordered a couple of bits today - a cherry print shirt from J Crew and leather leggings from H&M. Both were last in stock so I got the twitch!

Drywhitethanks · 03/11/2016 19:26

So funny liberty!!!

Drywhitethanks · 03/11/2016 19:29

this dress arrived today. Actually really like it. Not working with Whistkes suede stilettos . Don't really want open toed as in pic . What would you recommend?

I'm also waiting for....

SoyYo · 03/11/2016 19:30

dry my dress link defaulted to the black version, I meant to add in the blue shade which is a great deep navy blue assuming you like navy blue
amber panic buys can sometimes be the best buys
everyone thanks, I'm disappointed too but I know how tired I get after trips and flying out again to France on the Sunday (big project going on with work) would take away all the joy out of it as no time left to recover. I'm truly sorry but I've learnt through experience to pace myself. I'm a lot older than you girls (fifties) so cannot work and play without a breather in between Sad

Drywhitethanks · 03/11/2016 19:32

this dress linked by Everyone. My stylist shop recommends silver shoes . I have strappy sandals but too chilly in December . What style do you think?

Drywhitethanks · 03/11/2016 19:33

Meant to say soYo I'm scared of full skirts. Not v tall and have small waist. Always feel I look like a loo roll dolly in them with a huge arse Angry

SoyYo · 03/11/2016 19:35

So original dry! Love the colour and the back detail, is it short or knee length on you?
No good at shoe suggestions as I don't do high heels which is what I think would suit it best

Dreamqueen · 03/11/2016 19:35

Happy holiday Blair

Love that green dress Dry

SoyYo · 03/11/2016 19:39

Fair enough dry I'm not tall but vase shaped with slim hips/legs and small bum so I like full skirts as they balance me out. It was worth a try for the vintage vibe...you've had so many fab suggestions you're spoilt for choice!Smile

BerniceBobsHerHair · 03/11/2016 20:29

Sorry I've just skimmed so this will be a brain dump Grin

Ooh Dry they are both lovely. For the Reiss dress those M&S leopard shoes that I am determined you should have would look good - like leopard and forest green together. I think Shop is right about silver for the other.

Lib that is sooo funny.

I had a quick look at the Alexa collab - it all seems very 'Alexa' and don't think it would work on most of M&S's customers (I include myself in this). I do love this coat though and may order, I like this dress but won't order Grin

Haven't looked at Kenzo / H&M - it all sells out so quickly, I can't be bothered with the scrum, even online. I do like the tiger jumpers though. Sorry Stokey I can't seem to find your link to what you bought, sure you will rock it though.

Viva have you seen this Baukjen one? Spendy but I have a code - STYLE211

QueenC happy belated birthday - lovely presents, that star necklace is so pretty.

Blair hope you have a fab holiday!

My Office lucky charm boots arrived today but it wasn't love so I am sending them back.

libertydoddle · 03/11/2016 20:42

everyone no way am I facing him! I'm going to book a slot when DH is here and I'm out and they can share a manly moment about the fickle nature of women. In fact I may stop ordering from the Outnet - I just had a look at my order history and I do return a lot - even when I keep things there is often more then one item in the order so it ends up being a partial return - they must HATE me. The dress I am returning is is this APC one which I ordered as part of my ongoing mission to track down the perfect denim shirtdress and yes I realise this isn't denim but it's close

My Boden order also arrived. This blouse in Ivory is a keeper and so is this skirt in navy. I'm returning (Boden probably hate me too) this shirt in the gold spot. It's really lovely but classic cotton shirts never seem to work on me.

Amber DH found it hilarious. He said the guy was full of 'seriously mate, I KNOW your wife attitude' and he did find it reassuring that I am known as a serial returner.

Drywhitethanks · 03/11/2016 20:55

SoyYo the forest Reiss dress with lace back is above the knee on me, a good length.

Everyonelovessparkles · 03/11/2016 21:08

dry maybe leopard print with the green dress, as bernice suggested and silver or nude with the other?

Shame about the office boots bernice.

lib Grin the DHL guy will be pleased he was right! Nice Boden buys. I know what you mean about shirts, I always like the styling but somehow it just doesn't suit me. I'm a,ways sending stuff back to, I'm sure Boden and John Lewis must be hate me!

AmberNectarine · 03/11/2016 23:10

dry I'd go gold, snake or leopard with the green, silver or hot pink with the blue grey.

Both lovely but a mild preference for the green.

HappyGirlNow · 03/11/2016 23:53

bernice what about our No Spend November?? Grin

Did you get the white Lucky Charms?

FedupNagging · 04/11/2016 08:31

Happy yes the white ones but not keen on them for me.

Don't worry No Spend Nov still on - just did some 31 Oct internet shopping which is starting to arrive. And planning my December purchases Grin

Stokey · 04/11/2016 09:55

Happy birthday Shop & Linus - let us know what pressies you get Wine Cake [fizz]

Iv'e got DD1's party tomorrow so today is prep day.

I was going to link that Baukjen jumper for Viva too, Bernice, great minds.

WIT was in a ruffle jumper yesterday on her insta feed - not really my thing but does seem to be oen of the seasons trends.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 04/11/2016 10:08

VeryPunny · 04/11/2016 16:07

Can I join in?

Had a real bum rush of bad stuff that all went back - first order from Stories was a massive disappointment - half of the order was wrong, the other half was just poor quality IMO - and their prepaid return sticker didn't work!

Cashmere jumper went back to Boden for being too baggy, and a hush jumper went back for being too thin for £65. However I did get these lovely things:

Dress, perfect for dressing up or down:
Modern Rarity

Shoes, courtesy of DMBL40:
Bronze mules

As well as a lovely pair of leopard print loafers, also from M&S.

Apologies for links, on mobile.
