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 :)

Good luck with the move Amber

Saw these whilst in town and thought of you Shop I'm not enabling as I know you don't need another pair of bright boots but I'm sure the dramatic in you could carry these off

red boots although i think the heel may be too low for you

I'm really deliberating on some small purchases, some shoes, sandals and a belt. I'm just not feeling it at the moment. I need my shopping mojo back.

Kitty they do look a little out of proportion. Nice shape for the shoe part but I think in larger sizes the heel would look way too low. Love that red boots made you think of me though :)
The Levi's model pic is making me lust after white or silver boots again. Does anyone know when &OS would be likely to have a sale?

Nice jeans shop and blair. Glad you found the perfect pair!

Typically monsoon are doing 20% off now I've bought the lace top DVD jeans typical.

I bought some new jeans, a Lee pair. The fit is nice but they are too long - they only had a 31 leg but I probably need a 30. Do I keep them and get them altered or just return and try and find the right leg length?

Everyone if they are perfect everywhere else, then definitely keep and get altered (assuming they are skinnies).

I finally got around to trying on my warehouse neon floral items. The one shoulder top and dress were too big on top and showed a good inch of strapless bra. The other silk top is a keeper. It probably needs slight altering which I'm willing to do because I love the fabric so much :) I'll be much more likely to wear it than the dress too.

Lovely too blair. Regarding the other items, I think it just proves that it is so much better to order something and try it than dwell on it. If you hadn't ordered thd dress you would just have been thinking about it for ages, whereas now you know it wasn't for you.

these were the jeans but they are pretty fitted. I will need to try on again to decide.

Meant to say that it sounds like you had a great time at TT dry

They're really nice, I love the colour!

Yes, sometimes you just have to scratch the itch :) only downside is cash flow and comments at work on the number of parcels being delivered!

Not sure if &OS have a mid-season sale Shop, you may have to wait til July.

Then again, the boots aren't very summery so think they'd put them on sale before that

I've transitioned to summer wardrobe this week - spent all yesterday sorting through clothes. I could definitely do with a couple new dresses & tops as a lot of my stuff is a bit old & scruffy but will work on a strict 1 in 1 out policy.

Morning Voguettes - how are we all?
it has just started chucking it down with rain - I was going to do some gardening
The lovely Justa has sent me a code for &OS so now I just need to debate the silver boots AGAIN. I'm a nightmare!
Marsha I MISS YOU - just throwing it out there
Everyone glad you've found jeans but yes, try again to be sure. I need my 501 skinnies to give a bit more. The store encouraged me to size down as they would give, but I may have been optimistic
Blair love that print for you.
Come on sunshine - I've had enough now.

I was thinking that we'd not heard from Mara or Marsha for a while - come back soon.

Really pleased you kept that top Blair as i can definitely see you wearing it.

The seasalt coat has arrived - it almost reaches my ankles at the back shortarse but it ticks all the boxes so am keeping it.

We're contemplating a trip to Ikea today - wish me luck!

Great top Blair I can really see you looking fab in it.

I looked at that coat too Fedup I was tempted bit resisted as I already have a full length Aigle which is similar. Now I'm debating whether to give it a try, I'm short too.

Shop do the 501s have any stretch in them? I'm very tempted.

I popped into Superdrug this morning & having been inspired by Trinny live on FB the other day have come home with a huge haul of skincare products. I'm good at buying skin stuff but fail miserably at diligent application.

Grey here too shop. Could you order the boots and try them at home with a few outfits to decide if you really want them? Would they be a bit like the pink boots though? Would you wear them with similar outfits? If you really prefer the silver ones, if you do sell the pink ones maybe you could use the money from that towards them?

I've kept the jeans and am wearing them today as I like them in the waist and the leg so I've just turned them up and they look ok but I will also look into getting them shortened. Am wearing them with a green striped tshirt. It's quite a fresh look.

Missing mara and marsha too. Hope you're both ok.

Good luck with ikea fedup. We always end up spending about £50 on crap we don't need whenever we go

Dream 1% stretch in the wash I have, but some have none so check the stats on the website.
Everyone I tried selling the pink boots but they haven't sold and my girlfriends persuaded me to keep them and wear with leathers. I did order the silver ones and try at home. They are fab with black skinnies but not much else. But I spend 70% of my time in black skinnies and keep thinking about them. May wait and see if they end up in sale at more than 20% off
Amber thinking of you today. Hope the move goes well and you feel better soon.

Yes Marsha Mara & Linus come back, how dare you lead busy lives and abandon us

Grey here too don't think I've ever worn my Pistols in May before

Shop I've got my eye on some silver boots but they will have to be drastically reduced before I contemplate buying them.

Every glad you've kept the jeans, I find jeans buying such a bind. So hard to find the perfect pair.

It's warmed up a bit here but still not what I'd expect in may. Wearing my new levi 312s-I'd almost forgotten I'd bought Levi on holday until I read the thread this morning!!

shop you're going to have to order them again even if it's just to confirm that they really don't work. I can really see you in white boots like the Levi model.

Just doing my weekly browse and now need a navy watch. Obviously a lot lot cheaper than this one!!

these have to be some of the most hideous boots I've ever seen

Interesting that Levis are working well fo so many of you. I must try some.

Justa I love that Gucci bag and but agree it's quite like the Disco.

This DVF clutch arrived this morning. Impulse buy the other day - I loved the one mara lent me for a black tie do last year. But I'm not completely sure it's a keeper - it's very pale and doesn't have any type of strap so I'm imagining it getting mislaid easily or getting ruined from sitting on table - opinions please - am I better off returning and getting something with a strap?

I have also ordered a couple of dresses, thid one from Other Stories didn't know there was a 20% code grrr and this one from Cos which I'm hoping might work for the work event night in June.

Blair the Warehouse top is goegeous, shame about the dress.

for dry

Take your seasalts back and get this coat instead

Anyone need new sunglasses

Funnily enough QueenC I have emailed Levi's to ask where the boots and tee are from as I love both!

Lib I saw those dresses on your pin and thought they looked lovely. Hope they are keepers.

Amber didn't realise you were moving this weekend, good luck!

Shop I agree you should reorder the boots at 20% off and re consider them...you can't seem to get them out of your head.

Have you tried the pink ones with leather leggings?

I like the top Blair and agree it will be more versatile than the dress. It is a really nice print. I like the poppy print warehouse are doing atm.

Glad you like the Seasalt Fedup though hopefully you won't have to wear it for too much longer.

Mara hasn't been back since I linked a top for her...hope you haven't left in outrage and disgust Mara!

I've found where the white Levi model's boots are from. But they have sold out. Am now desperately searching other stockists.

Eurghhhhh I HATE it when I fall in love and can't find things anywhere. DAMN.

I even text the queen of Google search AKA Blair and she can't find them either :(

Oh no shop how annoying but you called on the right support!

I've decided to return the DVF bag - the lack of any kind of strap would stop me wearing it.

Had a wander around the local high street today and picked up these shorts and this bag from Next.
