nearly love the heels!
I was tempted by Mint Velvet kitten heels in sale and fully expecting to return. Unfortunately the M&S wide fit black kitten heels were returned due to being really poor quality, they fitted okay but they looked like they'd fall apart after a wear and just LOOKED cheap which wasn't the case with them last year.

Anyway here's the Mint Velvet ones
I know I will cry if too narrow for kipperfeet

Finally also ordered some wide fit blue suede shoes from Clarks they have 20% discount on at the mo and I know Clarks fit my Frodos
Hopinf they'll look okay with Bryce culottes in the spring and other dresses, trousers but I wish their toes were a little pointier

As you can see I've been very bad today! Blush

Laska5772 · 24/03/2018 16:14

never have you seen these Mint velvet trainers? ( a bit like the Leo? .I got Dune Egypt trainers in leopard last years but they dont have them now (shame as i now wish I had got the pink also)

Laska5772 · 24/03/2018 16:16

soy I love those navy T bars! .. I also have black kitten heels like yours but d from Dune a couple of seasons ago , but apart from weddings and the odd formal do , i dont really have places to wear these ..

SoyYo · 24/03/2018 16:36

Thanks Laska! Yes the Clarks look promising and a walkable block heel which I like for work, at £47 with discount a bit of a bargain, having them delivered to the local Clarks shop so if I don't like I can get refunded straight away
It's always a struggle finding good looking shoes in an E fitting, I'm usually restricted to Gabor and Clark's if I want reasonable quality but they can be very boring styles.

On the Mint Velvet kitten heels I'm expecting them to be too narrow but 🤞 if a generous width I may well get away with it.
I don't think they're super dressy either and I do go out on quite a few business dinners so we will see...I think kitten heels are very versatile and easy to dress up or down with jeans but not practical for walking very far in them.
Still hankering after a good quality perfect pair, if these are no good may try the Hush ones if they come up on the sale later this year...

I'm also going on hols late April (Spain, combining family catch up with down time by the beach) and have high hopes for the Monaco trousers I've just ordered, they look very light and comfortable...I thought a good alternative to the Amies that I returned a month or so ago.
Anyway keep you posted when they arrive.

miffy2 · 24/03/2018 17:42

SoyYo, I have two pairs of Monaco trousers from last summer, black and blue-grey. They are perfect for warm (not hot!) weather IMO, I loved wearing them with a simple white Tshirt. (Y es verdad, hablo castellano - lo estudie en la universidad y estuve viviendo en Valladolid durante 3 años...hace mucho tiempo!)

neveradullmoment99 · 24/03/2018 19:14

Nice Spanish Miffy :)Laska those mint velvet leopard trainers are brilliant. May just order them :)

Laska5772 · 24/03/2018 19:45

these are mine from last year I love them!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/03/2018 19:50

I really like that skirt, Laska. It looks so much nicer on you than it did in the shop, where it looked like a dish rag. I'd intended to try it on (love the colour) but it was so creased I didn't bother.

Laska5772 · 24/03/2018 19:52

Never. they have more sizes in those leopard trainers at john Lewis than on the MV website..

neveradullmoment99 · 24/03/2018 19:53

Laska - I have just won a pair on ebay! Marks and spencers autograph ones for £26.50 without box.

Immaculate trainers never you must be chuffed! I do like the dark leopard pattern and they'll go with everything

Laska5772 · 25/03/2018 11:21

Coolio never what a bargain

I was wondering about these have seen them in RL in TKmaxx and they are nice, just not as pale as i was originally wanting.. ? Opinions?

TeamRick · 25/03/2018 12:31

Can I ask you Hush experts what the Ivy dress is like please?

I like the look of the 'washed' print but being large of nork I'm worried it will just look like a tent!

Laska5772 · 25/03/2018 12:36

No scrap that! have found and ordered these Grin

Laska5772 · 25/03/2018 12:40

Team I love the Ivy dresses (have all three from last season although not so keen on the look of the short sleeve ones this season ) . but I'd advise sizing down ! I am 36E and size 14 on top, and went for the S ( I tried M and it was huge on me )

neveradullmoment99 · 25/03/2018 12:56

Much prefer the ones you have ordered Laska. Good choice :)

OP posts:
Laska5772 · 25/03/2018 13:17

Yes so do I! I was wavering on the Ecco, becaue they were more proper trainer than skater shoe (even though they are nicer in RL than that photo which makes them look a bit orangey .. ) I hope the ones i have ordered fit (and I do like them enough to think they are a good substitute for the Hush ones .. which really are silly price)

ilovecherries · 25/03/2018 15:45

Those Adidas ones are gorgeous, Laska, good choice. I bought some Air and Grace Leopard ones from JL during Black Friday, and I sort of love them (even though S&B says they are overhyped crap).

Rick, I have the winter Ivy - def go smaller than you think you will need. I'm currently a 34K, and I have one in medium and one in small, and the small is def a better fit. They are so comfy though, round about December time I practically had to have them surgically removed, I wore them so much.

Right, I'm sending back all the T shirts - I just can't get my head round £27 for a fairly ordinary t shirt when inevitably it will have sun tan lotion and midge repellant on it after one wear. I'm still dithering about the striped raw edge linen. I do like it very much (have worn the plain ones loads already) just wondering if it's 'just another stripey top". It's also MUCH bigger than the plain ones. Which sort of made me wish I'd sized up more in the plain. Anyway, decision pending on that.

The yellow 'love says the day' top is probably going back. Its SO bloody soft that I want to keep it (and is the same colour as that yellow jumper I bought in the sale, which I adore), but old lady with huge norks and a slogan tee maybe isn't going to work. I have the yellow love sweat, and maybe that's as far as I can go.

My final item was the yellow sloppy joe. Again, jury is out. It's lovely, goes very well with my denim pencil skirt, but it's identical to the yellow Love sweat, except with short sleeves. And my mum did make me laugh, as she was with me when the box arrived, and when I opened it, she said 'look at the state of that, it's worn right through at the hems, it can't possibly be new. Imagine them sending that out!'

As a general point, I'm struggling a bit just now with what is a 'good' look. I just haven't adjusted to my huge weight loss yet, I frequently don't recognise myself in mirrors/shop windows etc. And because I'm now relatively slim, so much choice has opened up to me, that I sometimes worry that I wear something (like slogan top above), because I CAN and not because it's a good look. Do you know what I mean? On top of that, being bald is also confusing. I lost so much more hair about 3-4 weeks ago, I had the lot buzzed off. Can't remember if I mentioned that or not. I'm glad I did it, its much less stressful then trying to arrange the odd strand of hair strategically over ever growing bald bits. AND I love my wigs. I know I'm really fortunate that I can afford to buy a few and have different looks. But they change me so much. A) that I have hair at all B) that they (I hallucinate!) make me look so much younger - till you are up close, that is. So that skews what I feel I can wear. I absolutely hate the view of mutton etc, but at the same time, I don't want to look like a parody. I guess I want to look amazing at 60, rather than 60 trying to look 30. Am I even talking sense??

ilovecherries · 25/03/2018 15:46

Gosh, that was a long one! Sorry, folks!

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 25/03/2018 16:05

Cherries that does make sense. I don't think you should worry whether you're wearing stuff because you CAN - you obviously like and have an eye for clothes, so why wouldn't your judgement on them be sound?

I also think that one of the good things about Hush is that it's not obviously for one age or another - I just turned 40 and over the last decade been gradually shifting from flowery tea dresses and big cardigans to.... well, Hush mainly. Because I generally just feel it makes me look like someone reasonably well-dressed, dressed for comfort but not in a bad way, who's though about her clothes but not aiming for a 'look'. That's their power!

I'm sure you look amazing - if you can wear it, and you like it, wear it!

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 25/03/2018 16:07

thought about her clothes!
