Mumsnet Vogue Vol. 81

[BlairWaldorfLovesShopping]

Number 81! The days are getting longer, and we're looking forward to shedding a few layers for Spring, while remaining stylish of course. If you love talking fashion and new buys, come on in, all welcome!

Thanks ok down to Figue and Etro

Blair actually I agree it was because I saw it in store and the colour is amazing, I didn’t notice the odd hem at all. But I did think it strange when I found it online so good call

Loads of Pashlis on the Outnet - you need to search by 3.1 Phillip Lim and then click on bags though as otherwise they don't come up.

So for MU so far we have:
Confirmed
Mara
QueenC
Shop
One
Everyone

Maybes - Blair, Marsha

Any more takers?

Sorry you can’t make Dream and Fedup.

I love the Etro for an Italian summer wedding Marsha, the Figue is a lovely print but maybe style is a bit casual? Best of luck with MRI. x

Dry and Fedup love the outfit styling pics too.

QueenC think it must be hard for MM who clearly has such a strong sense of her own style having to conform to royal protocol. The jacket covering bare shoulders looked an awkward compromise. Hope she shakes things up a bit and doesn’t go all nude tights.

Thanks Mara

Have a moment of solitude to buy the Etro dress and looked to see it’s viscose not silk as I assumed. Ah should I go ahead?

I’d prefer silk but is viscose ok as far a fabric goes?

I would want it to be silk for that price Marsha. It says its stretch jersey which might make it a bit too casual.

The weather was so lovely today, everything seemed just seems better when the sun is shining. Plus I got to wear my light pink suede cos block heels which I love but hardly get to wear as the weather needs to be just right with the daft leather and suede soles!

I decided to return both the bags and a sneaky order of another apc half moon in beige saffiano leather. I decided I didn't love any of them as much as the bags I already have so will save the cash for another bag maybe later in the year.

Love the outfit pics esp the red block heels outfit. Would totally wear that.

Gorgeous chloe flats mara the colour is perfect. I actually considered the block heel version in light grey with my code but I think the 6cm heel may be too much for me everyday. Shame I wasted my code on the bag I didn't keep.

Blair hang in there, I remember the pain of spd

btw I can make the MU!

Love this dress maybe for mara or lib?

Thanks Justa me too, I abandoned purchase

Mara love your Chloe flats

Also good call on the bag, you have to love it

I didn't get to comment on the bags you linked Justa but I really loved the shape of them. No point keeping if you don't love though.

Marsha that's a lot of £££ for a viscose dress - there is bound to be a similar style around either cheaper or in silk. Hope the MRI goes ok.

How about this dress Marsha? Can you wear orange? Actually i think its meant to be a beach dress but it's too nice for sand and suncream!

Is there a quick way to link a picture from pinterest direct to a thread without saving to your pc first? It's a bit of a palarva otherwise.

Am just about to get dressed and thinking of doing this look today - zara cream t, atterley wide legged trousers and, um, not sure about shoes, maybe some cream flats or orange animal print gigi's.

Have a good day all. I'm working all day so will just gaze longingly outside the window!

Marsha, this dress is so pretty

Very quick pop in to say we have arrived in our new home town and bought a house within 2 days - eek! Life is full on - will catch up properly in a day or two.

Love to all...

After my disastrous shopping trip at the weekend I went somewhere different today and may have bought rather a lot of shoes .
I’m going to attempt to add them as photos rather than links.
So this isn’t shoes but my new beach bag from primark

Sandals in blush pink I utterly love with the wrap around straps.
The shoes I got are grey but can’t find them online. They’re just my annual cheap and cheerful ballet flats which I know won’t last but that’s fine.
The blue sandals I would never have looked at if I hadn’t saw them on another thread. I just fell in love when I put them on and they are so comfy!

Last but not least, slip on converse. I had a similar white pair years ago but gave them to dd as i never wore them. I’ve recently been wearing them and she’s been complaining so I got these!

So I’ve spent a lot but I’ve sold a few things that I no longer wear so I don’t feel too bad

marsha hood call on the dress-a lot of money for viscose
justa also good call on the bags. It needs to be love.

that bag is very pretty queenC not sure about white for myself as whenever i have anything white, i seem to get it absolutely filthy really fast but it is very pretty, I like the converse you have bought as well

Fab purchases today Queen, you must be very pleased with yourself after last week!

One you must be off on your big holiday soon? How exciting.

Lib thought you'd gone quiet for a while and wondered what you were up to. Great news on the house front, that's pretty fast work. when will you be able to move in?

I am meant to meeting dh at the pub in 30 minutes and just trying to decide whether or not to change - not sure i cba!

fedup I was pleased! I wore the blue sandals on the school run and got loads of comments. I know it’s really shallow and at the end of the day it’s just clothes but they’ve really been my armour in the last few months and made me ready to face the world even in days when I didn’t feel like facing the world. It’s been 6 months since my world was turned upside down but I’m feeling in a good place right now. Have finally taken control of my comfort eating and sugar addiction and have now been 12 days without! Feel so much better for it and have lost a couple of pounds.
Anyway enough about me. I’m away tonight so I’m going to do my Sunday morning links now inspired by the sunshine and positivity. So grab a coffee....

for amber/shop

Wouldnt these tickle??

for dry

I can’t wear yellow but this is divine

Is this too dark for you marsha?
