Thanks for the new thread mara

Waiting here for company

QueenC in answer to your question on the old thread yes I get that all the time! I think its because I love florals and they don’t photograph as flatteringly as solid dark colour but I still love them and don’t think it makes any difference in the flesh. So in short am sure your top looks great and keep wearing it!

to Everyone. Am meant to be doing a job application and procrastinating!

thanks for the new thread mara

Thanks for the new thread and fab quote Mara
I have been dithering over this maxi skirt for a while. I used to have something similar a while back from French Connection which I found useful in summer with a vest top and gigis. Anyway, I got a text for 20% off today so have ordered it for delivery to store for a try. It could be hideously mumsy, not sure...........
I also have my eye on something from Me&em but can't find a code anywhere and really resent the postage costs.

Hello, long time, nice shiny new thread.
Hope everyone is well. I don't think I can catch up on a whole thread so will just start anew.

Good luck with the job application Mara they are a pain.

Nice skirt Shop, I have a similar J-Crew one that I wear a lot in summer.

What summer shoes has everyone got lined up? I need something that I can wear to work (ideally on the tube) but are still summery.

Anyone bought any sandals, brogues, loafers recently that they'd recommend?

Thank you for new thread Mara.

Ooh I love a new thread.
Thanks for the reply mara. I know o shouldn’t let it put me off the top but I also know when I next wear it I’ll just think of that bloody photo. It’s long sleeved so I may just pack it away till next year and let the memory fade!

Love the shape of the skirt shop. I had a black one years ago, worn with a French connection tee and ellessee trainers. Loved that outfit!

kitty I bought a couple of pairs lately, I’ll link in a minute.

one do you follow susie so so on IG? She showed 2 cotton tops today and I thought of you but now can’t remember where they’re from! Primark or new look I think.

these ones which are ridiculously comfortable and come in loads of colours

and these which I haven’t had chance to wear yet. I’m really in love with this neutral pale pink colour

Brogues wise I wear the clarks ones and they’re very comfy too so would be fine for tube/commuting

Thank you for new thread Mara

And the dress love everyone

Back later

no, i don't follow her queenC but can easily look her up, thanks for the tip

Finished the application!

One you could maybe try tk maxx too, hit and miss I know but you never know what bargains you may find.

Thank you Mara for the new thread. 82? Blimey, it’s a long time.....6 year’s I think.
And exciting about the job application. Keep us posted.
QueenC I do trust photos more than mirror tbh (although often bad photos are just down to unfortunate poses or bad lighting). In the mirror I focus on the bad bits, in photos I see myself as a whole iykwim. I bet for you it’s just the photo. If it’s just a head shot you won’t get an idea of the whole “you” .....i bet if it had been full body you’d have loved the top/ necklace etc........hope that makes sense .

Oh and shop I can totally see you in that skirt. BUY IT!!

Me too Dry - Shop buy buy

Stokey I’ll wear Marant trainers or Lanvin flats as usual

Queenc not the photo

Can someone buy this? I love it but I couldn’t wear it Rixo

They don’t have a model so here’s one

Everyone thanks for the links on the last thread - the dress has arrived so will see if I need back up!

Shop could be good on your girls trip

Pretty blouse marsha. Hope you love the dress.

Have you started your new job yet lib?

Regarding your question on the last thread dry about people in heels, I reckon they wear the heels for the photo for instagram then change into something more comfortable for walking, otherwise they must spend a fortune at the cobblers! 😂. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for what to do when a high heel / stiletto heel becomes scuffed on the actual heel. Can anything be done?

Back to rain here today so the winter coat is still out....

It’s been 4 seasons in 1 day here. Torrential rain and freezing this morning and now warm and sunny.
dry I harely ever wear heels. I like them to go out in but I often walk so heels aren’t practical. Only ever wear for daytime for rare things like meet ups with you lot. I meant we really see anyone in heels either.

I love this rixo print

Thanks mara for shiny new thread!

That Rixo shirt is lovely, their prints are gorgeous but would be way too much on me I think. Come to think of it, I don't own any printed clothes other than spots and stripes.

One so exciting about your holiday. What about H&M for cheap tops, they have quite a bit of cotton and linen if you do a search.

Love that print too

Blair how are you feeling? How many weeks are you??

A quick try on and I can say I think I love it! Really nice to wear, easy, silk but a textured rather than ultra smooth feel which I prefer and I reckon cool enough as very loose

Sleeves are quite fabric-y for me but it works

Hope I feel the same tomorrow as I’m so glad I bought it
