Mumsnet Vogue - vol 77 - the Spring trends edition

[shopafrolic]

Join us to talk all things fashion and beauty. The clocks go forward next Sunday (who's bright idea was it to organise that on Mother's Day?!). Longer days and hopefully some sunshine - we're dying to get our ankles out.
All welcome :)

Woo woo!!! Well done Marsha

Nice one Marsha
We go on Monday. Can't wait.
Quiet on here ATM. Has everyone lost their mojo?

I'm wearing a wolf t shirt I bought at Longleat and satin kitten heels, so maybe.

I have zero mojo. The Raoul dress arrived today and is a huge disappointment. Really horrible fabric and not lined so hangs badly and clings to my legs.

If anyone is looking for an excuse for a fashion hunt...I need an industry awards night suitable dress, autumn colours, below knee or midi length, a-line or flared skirt preferred. Budget probably max £250.

What a shame about the dress lib. Hope it's a different DHL man . Your OOTD sounded great.

Happy holidays marsha and shop. 😎🌞

Nice trainers dream

No news on the fashion front. Got a family meal on Sunday for MILs birthday. Looks like it's going to be a lovely sunny day so need to decide what to wear.

Sadly same DhL man everyone. He is still rude. I open the door and sign in total silence with a stony face.

Yay, Marsha, have a fab time, and Shop

Dream loving the gazelles.

Shame the dress wasn't right Lib as it looked lovely and so perfect for you.

No socks or jacket here today - result

Despite looking at loads of clothes & shoes, the only thing I've purchased recently is the Next peasant top so reckon my mojo is still in winter hibernation!

Oh Lib that's a shame. Will keep my eyes peeled.

I'm in a garden centre, sitting in a sunny spot having a quiet coffee - guess what I'll be doing today?!

Ootd is next flares, mih breton & stans - & sunnies

Evening! What a glorious day!! Absolutely shattered now but so much fun. A lie in all morning followed by gym (finally allowed to exercise!) then bbq and games all afternoon in the garden.

Outfit today nothing to write home about - sparkly pink tee by Debenhams and cropped jeans. However my favourite outfit of the week was when I dressed down and wore this McQueen dress with this DvF cardigan and my Chloé ballet flats. I mentally hi five days myself all day. It was a massive improvement on when I wore this dress earlier in the week with my Burberry trench coat. The dress was too long for the coat and looked awful together.

I have still not found my bracelet but when I do there is a handbag I have seen that I will reward myself with for all the stress!

Would love to be able to wear this Chloe top if I was long waisted.

OOTD new gazelles,Boden ruched shirt in black and Led Zeppelin t shirt. Felt great and happy. I'm so happy to have embraced flat shoes

Great outfit Dream. Flat shoes are the way to go!

Weather this weekend was so fantastic. Can't believe it will be back down to 12 degrees tomorrow.

I start a new job tomorrow. Feeling very unmotivated...Hard to psyche myself up for just a few months work.

Good luck for tomorrow lib!
Have been missing as I have forgotten my password and can't login on my new laptop. Need to sort that out when I get a minute.
I have had a lovely week off with the dc, they are finally at an age where its just easier. Took dds for a day shopping in London without ds, they loved it and unlike their mother were very sensible with their spending money!
Shopping wise I sent back the Comptoir trench as it was too long and too dark for spring. I will carry on looking for a beige one although getting the right shade is difficult as they are usually too yellow for me.
I finally got a matches code and ordered these loafers in the correct sizenicholas kirkwood I love them and they go with everything.
Back soon to catch up properly once I am set up on my new laptop!

Love those shoes Justa

Good luck with the new job Lib. Shame about the Raoul dress, it looked lovely in the photo.

Happy holidays to all those going away. What a glorious weekend we've just had.

Hope everyone's shopping mojo comes back soon, the thread won't cope otherwise

Still wanting a gingham top so have ordered this one. I like this skirt too - though so do lots of people as it is almost sold out.

Good luck Lib! X

Bernice I like the skirt (not that it would suit me in a month of Sundays!) and having seen Amber in her Gingham dress I quite fancy a dress or top too. Sheep I definitely don't want to pay a lot for it though because it's got fad written all over it in about 100 languages!

Although the weather has cooled, I am glad it still so sunny, somehow wearing my sunnies made it less depressing going to work this morning!

Good luck with the new job Lib

Another one here with a lost fashion mojo, still eeking out the last of the Pistol and Tippi wearing, not yesterday of course. I'm feeling very uninspired atm and am wondering what on earth I'll be wearing this SS, first world problems of course

Had my eye on a bag, trousers and shoes but they are all OOS ho hum.

Like your top Bernice

Lovely shoes Justa

[www.theoutnet.com/en-GB/Shop/Product/Michael-Kors-Collection/Pleated-silk-crepe-dress/930444 MK dress] lib saw this dress on Outnet and thought it was similar to the other one you bought. But could be a bit pricey??good luck for today!

blingy there's a new collection of Michael Kors collection on the outnet if you're interested as I know you like his stuff. By the way your garden plans for the DC sound fab.

Just about to head to a meeting so will catch up properly later.

i too seem to have lost my mojo. I've mostly been wearing shorts and tights with a seletion of tees and then a cardigan on top, no energy for anything else. I was very worried about wearing the shorts to begin with though but DP assures me they look fine and that he wouldn't let me go out looking terrible so i feel better about them now.

bought some Missoni sunglasses as i was squinting non stop so needed something just as a stop gap until i get some proper prescription ones sorted, DP helped me choose them which was nice he's off work sick today, got some horrible bug so he feels pretty rotten, sent him to bed and am bringing him drinks and lemsip as he needs them

Hello! Back from a warm week of fun and good food (and lots and lots of wine) in France. I don't really have wifi there so it's always nice to unplug for a few days, but once I got home yesterday I did LOADS of browsing... Bernice I'm hoping that my mojo has indeed come back!

Marsha hope you're enjoying your holiday

Lib good luck today! Shame about the Raoul dress, the colour was perfect. For your event, can you not wear the dress you bought for one previously? sacrilege??

No news on Gucci belt... annoying as I've had loads of places I wanted to wear it in the last couple of weeks and now this weekend.

On my summer wishlist (though most stuff in the shops is just dire atm!):
White jeans
Tan sandals
Breton cotton jumper
White shirt dresses (as I need a lot of coverage in the summer because I'm so pasty)
Boat neck 3/4 sleeve tops

I did have one fashion related mishap on holiday. PILs dog chewed my J crew panama hat up and I can't get another the same because the recent reviews are really bad. Plus DH rushed to tell everyone what happened, so now I've got the awkwardness of them insisting on replacing it. :(

I love that dress Everyone but yes too £££ unfortunately.

Bernice I love that M&S skirt and great top.

Justa shame the coat wasn't right but well done on the shoes. They are gorgeous.

Annoying that everything you want is OOS Kitty.

Good wish list Blair, I'll copy you on any boat neck tops you find. I love the shape and don't have enough of them. The work event in June isn't black tie so the previous dress would look too much at it - more cocktail / desk to dinner type dress needed.

Thanks all for the good wishes for today - it was fine. One of those projects though that I am going to have to practise setting boundaries on - those of you who have talked to me about work at various MU's will know how bad I can be at that! One of those situations where because I know how to sort things I could easily end up taking too much on.

Forgot to say shorts with tights sounds perfect for you One.

My mojo is fully intact!
I've just been doing my usual school holiday guilty pleasure.....,a Netflix bingehaving DH working from home has been a problem, I've had to keep sending him on errands!!

Oops posted too soon....
Have do enjoyed the warmer days. Even wore sandals yesterday.
My summer wish list is a couple of cotton or linen dresses for my holidays, am off shopping tomorrow so will have a look around.

bernice did you order the m&s skirt? If not, there is this gingham skirt in Debenhams which is similar.

Glad you had a nice holiday blair. Good wish list. I like a boat neck top too. Shame about the hat though. I saw this white shirt dress in boden - is this the type of thing you're looking for or more casual?

Glad the new job went ok today lib.

We had a nice time yesterday at MILs birthday lunch. Wore
this dress.

Looking forward to the long weekend. It can't come quick enough....
