We have dusted down our Gigis and boyfriend shirts. We are desperately trying to avoid melting in MMFs. We are planning capsule holiday wardrobes. We are getting ready for summer gorgeousness......come and join us for as we wait for the temperatures to soar.....

It is I with the yellow Zarita. It has to be an acidy neon type yellow. Mustard is a total no-go. Still not my best colour, but red lipstick fixes everything!

queencerulean · 30/06/2017 12:09

Thanks for finding the bag everyone
shop I reckon you could do a neon yellow. I'm always surprised at how well my fluorescent cycling jacket suits me.
kitty forgot to say lovely bag. What colour did you get as I think you said you didn't get the brown

This is the top that I bought at the weekend. Am wearing it today.

I decided to return the oasis dress I'd bought the other week as well as the dune sandals. Despite loving them both I couldn't justify keeping them for the amount of times I'd wear them. I feel like I've reached peak clothes at the moment and need to wear the stuff I've got rather than chasing other stuff. Also it's playing on my mind that I may not have a job after November as my contract runs out so I'd like to try and save for boots etc.

Thanks for the bag link Everyone - my heart still lies with a Disco I think. Perhaps too overdone on the internet now though. Will think on.
I used to have a neon yellow tee from M&S that I loved - perhaps I'll revisit.

libertydoddle · 30/06/2017 14:26

shop bargain option could be J Crew signet bag, on phone so can't link.

shopafrolic · 30/06/2017 17:50

someone MUST buy this I am sooooo tempted but it is backless.

shopafrolic · 30/06/2017 18:16

Everyone I meant to say that DVF dress is very pretty - beautiful colour. :)

Everyonelovessparkles · 30/06/2017 18:16

Great dress shop, my DD would love that Grin though I'm not sure about the backlessness too Hmm. The disco is nice, part of me wishes I had got one before the price hike.

Sensible decision queenc about the dress and shoes. I also feel I might be reaching capacity regarding summer clothes so knkw what you mean about justifying new purchases.

Think I might wear the boden ruched wrap dress that lib has tonight and bling it up with some accessorises.

DryWhiteagainW · 30/06/2017 18:57

I'm off out with my work colleagues tonight.
I'm wearing my scicily dress love this so much , with my red suede Boden killer Aquazzura type ghillie high heels, Smythson Nancy which picks out the blue/turquoise nicely matchy and Oasis stone biker.
Feel glam.......but won't be able to walk, small price to pay bet the shoes get loads of comments

have had a sneaky Gin

Posting as I dropped of the thread. On hols. All great except for the huge fires on the hills surrounding the town and seaplanes have been dropping water all afternoon. Going to read and catch up line.

Everyonelovessparkles · 30/06/2017 19:23

dry your outfit sounds very glam next to mine! I've had a cheeky 🍷 -or two before heading out too.

Oh dear dream are the fires due to a heat wave?

Thanks shop, hopefully the dress isn't too bright or booby

libertydoddle · 30/06/2017 19:27

The DVF is gorgeous everyone. Fingers crossed it's a keeper.

Dry your outfit sounds great. I bow to the ability of your feet to suffer pain in the pursuit of the perfect look Grin

Stay safe dream. Those fires look scary.

And in other style news I can declare that the while old school trainer look is officially over. I know this because after 4 years of debating the issue I decided today that some off white Adidas Superstars looked amazing on me and I bought them. Has taken me almost as long as it took me to adopt skinnies ShockGrin

FedupNagging · 30/06/2017 19:36

We're in tonight but out for drinks with friends tomorrow evening plus a garden party in the afternoon too eyes weather forecast

Have a fab time tonight Dry and Everyone - both outfits sound great and gorgeous DVF dress.

Shop both style and sizing this season is not up to par - for me anyway; it's very frustrating. Sali Hughes was spot on!

Lib did your SE trina's arrive? I love mine and apart from the 2 wet days this week, have worn them every day - they go with everything.

Funny you should mention the J Crew signet bag as I ordered it in grey yesterday. I've had it on my wish list for months (along with the LKB saffiano crossbody) then noticed it was on discount. May bring it to the MU for it's inaugural outing Grin

The MJ shutter bag is really nice - love the shape.

FedupNagging · 30/06/2017 19:40

Cross posted with about 4 posts!

Hadn't realised you were away again Dream - the fires sound awful.

Lib I'm always late a trend party - have bought stans and gazelles this year - ages after everyone else. I was the same as you with skinnies too!

shopafrolic · 30/06/2017 20:32

Fedup please report back on the bag. I nearly ordered but thought the grey looked too warm.
Lib hilarious about Superstars. I love mine but will go back to classic white and black next purchase.
DH has just treated me to two dresses this pink Splendid one
And this DVF which I have been lusting after for ages. Will only keep if both perfect. I fear I may be between sizes.

DryWhiteagainW · 01/07/2017 00:45

Vas predicted my feet HURT but shoes got loads of compliments and big boss commented on dress and shoes creepy ...... Good night. Remembered to drink water

Glad you had a good night dry-, hope your feet aren't too sore today.

Lovely buys shop, that DVF dress looks great and very versatile, hope it fits.

That made me laugh about the trainers lib Grin

Hope you like the new bag fedup.

shopafrolic · 01/07/2017 18:03

Some beautiful bag inspo on this sunny Saturday evening.

libertydoddle · 01/07/2017 20:40

Some beauts there shop.

Justa are you around? Did you get my MU PM?

Longislandicetee · 01/07/2017 22:09

Hello! It's been that long that the thread had disappeared from Threads I'm On!Shock

I have been so hideously busy with work and kids that I have barely had time to breathe over the last few weeks. Also been under stress for weeks to do with potential new role at work. Except I have looked at 3 of them over the last 2 months and all the politics has been draining. 2 more weeks of this grits teeth. To get away from it all we were at a very glamarous event today where the order of the day was over the top bling and champagne. I wore my Tag diamond watch, Tiffany engagement ring and eternity ring, Blossoms cluster ring, pearl and diamond studs and a Tiffany silver and hold bracelet. I was totally outblingedShock

Anyway, I have a new object of lust. I told dh that i like it and have batted my eyelashes at him while reminding him that I have barely spent any money this year. He rolled his eyes. Grin

shopafrolic · 01/07/2017 22:56

Screams Grin

queencerulean · 02/07/2017 08:27

Oh my goodness, you could never own a bravelet worth that much blingy as you'd lose it Grin. Also, don't you have one similar?
shop none of those bags are really doing it for me although I quite like the shape of the elephant.

queencerulean · 02/07/2017 08:31

for shop

queencerulean · 02/07/2017 08:35

LOve these rainbow trainers

libertydoddle · 02/07/2017 08:43

Those trainers are fantastic.

Longislandicetee · 02/07/2017 08:48

Ha! Shop you sound like dh! Yes but in my defence snort it's lovely! Dh said he would think about it if I stopped carelessly leaving my jewlrey lying around. There goes my chances then!Grin
