Happy NEW year Viguettes. Here's to a busy 2018 and lots of MUs x

Happy New Year lovely Voguettes (sp?). Wishing you all much health & happiness in 2018 & look forward to our next MU.

Definitely need to catch up on here, hopefully tomorrow - which will be a quiet day given the time we've rolled home!

Happy new year voguettes! Hope it’s a good one for everyone!

Hope everyone had a good night. Our party went well, loved my whistles dress!

Everyonelovessparkles · 01/01/2018 10:00

Loved the round up blingy.

Shame you dudbt find anything shop, sometimes I think RL shopping is a disappointment - queues, no sizes, jumble sale etc

I don’t think I bought too much this year and most stuff I did buy I wore a lot. I think making a list of gaps or things I wanted prevented me from making too many spontaneous purchases. I was also better st sending back things if I didn’t love them.

These lee jeans were a good fit for me and I also have them in black, and I’ve worn them lots.
My Boden blackberry dresses (not this pattern) continue to be greet in the summer. Though this only applies to the ones I bought 2 summers ago as the recent ones are a slightly different fit and I don’t like them.

This white lace top was also a good buy and I’ve worn it a lot and have even worn it recently with a cream polo underneath and it looks good. So thanks to dry for making me take the plunge after eyeing it up for ages.

The warehouse rainbow dress has been a good buy as I’ve worn it so much already.

I’ve had less duff purchases this year, though the grey embroidered oasis jumper
(That I think dry has as well) did not wash well and soon went out of shape and looked old quite soon. A black pair of trousers from warehouse that I wanted as an alternative option to jeans, were never really what I wanted but kept them when I should have sent them back. The spotty Boden dress I got in blue (that lib has in green) I never felt great in, so I think I’ll relegate it for when I’m working at home in the summer. I think the spots just don’t suit me. But other than that, I’ve been pretty happy with most stuff I’ve bought. I think I understand my lifestyle a bit better now so am buying less ‘fancy’ stuff and more multi purpose items.

This year, I think I’ll make a list again and try and stick to it and continue to send stuff back if I don’t love it. I also want to spend abit more on hair cuts as I can be lazy at getting this done, but it does make a difference.

Happy New Year to all you lovely ladies! Looking forward to the next MU too.
Great round up blingy will be back with mine later. I'm too scared to think about how much I've bought this year as wardrobes are bulging under the strain!

MarshaBradyo · 01/01/2018 16:43

Hello! BIG news from me, I had my baby girl yesterday. I know some of you knew because of mus but some didn't, so wanted to share with you all here Smile.

Felt too worried to share online as had had previous mcs, seeing the baby home is believing!

Wanted to say big love and happy new year and here's to a happy and beautifully stylish 2018

Family is being collected for reuniting now so very peaceful with sleeping baby at home, very happy!

Everyonelovessparkles · 01/01/2018 16:45

Congratulations marsha! That is fabulous news and what a lovely way to end / start the year. Hope you are all ok and doing well. Flowers

AmberNectarine · 01/01/2018 17:13

Absolutely tremendous news Marsha, I'm just thrilled for you all! A good year for MNV babies, 2017!

justasecond · 01/01/2018 17:16

Congratulations! Amazing news Marsha so happy for you. Lots of love to you and your little dd xxx

huge congratulations marsha what wonderful news! Thanks

FedupNagging · 01/01/2018 18:58

Congratulations Marsha such lovely news, so pleased for you and your family and the perfect start to the new year.

Waves to newbie Wizzwig

Love the roundups a couple of you have done. I didn't make many purchases last year but these are the stand outs for me:

Whistles sweatshirt a recent purchase but have worn a lot already

I also purchased an oversized red polo neck jumper from a local shop (can't find link) and have received many positive comments and pleas to wear more red so I will try to do just that in 2018.

In the summer, this And/Or denim dress got a lot wear along paid fp, sob with a MNV recommended purchase of the SE trinas

These snake print ankle boots are my newest sale bargains and I predict will get a lot of wear.

A slight disappointment is the Mango leather jacket, I sized up and really wished I hadn't so not wearing it as much as I wore the very old and battered faux leather jacket it replaced!

Am also enjoying the Parisienne thread - this resulted in the purchase of a red chubby stick back in November (miles nicer than my ruby woo) which I'm wearing a lot together with actually getting my nails done a lot more regularly. Will see how long that lasts!

shopafrolic · 01/01/2018 19:13

Which chubby stick Fedup?

Marsha it's a perfect start to a new year.
Will do fashion round up tomorrow.

Dreamqueen · 02/01/2018 07:58

Congratulations Marsha. So exciting for you & the family.

I'll do my best of 2017 when my gin stupor head wears off Smile.

Many many congratulations Marsha! It really is a lovely way to start the year Wishing you much happiness and sleep! With 2 MNV babies in 2017, @BlairWaldorfLovesShopping must be quite pleased that we will stop hinting her.Grin

Loved reading the round ups and clicking on the links. That shirt dress still amazes me Lib. Does not look appealing to me at all on the screen but you look fantastic in it. Really loved that Monsoon lace top that Everyone linked. Shop, i have decided to get the chubbettes gift set for myself. I got them for sil for Christmas and they have reduced in price. I figure i will find colours i like and suit me, and pass on the othersGrin

Thankfully I decided to take an extra day of holidays this week. I decided I couldn't bear going back to work today after the lovely time off. 2nd Jan seems too soon!

Longislandicetee · 02/01/2018 15:59

Dd is her mother's daughter. Hmm We have just been decluttering her wardrobe. Got rid of 30 items and she's trying to justify why she needs to keep most of them! Marsha, I am sure your dd will be much more minimalist!
