They are lovely QueenC I am a leopard avoider - matches my freckles ;

Ok big outnet order. Pretty sure what I'd like to return but pls let me know if I've got it wrong

Keeping

L'Agence dress staying for Italy and family holiday, really soft light silk nice for hot weather

Equipment grey cashmere / cotton - soft light and good quality

Rag & Bone jumper love it, great colour, good quality, neckline not too bad

Sandro pale skirt - I want to keep this is it ok?

Going back

Phillip Lim going back - I didn't realise the shoulders were so tricky with cutouts where the material crosses, nice otherwise

Maje dress going back, nice but I can't do any lace after all

Sandro t really not me, nearly didn't link as not me at all

Not sure
Maje dress navy not sure if it's me

Any comments greatly appreciated! Anything I should send back as oooh no not me and is it ok to keep Sandro pale skirt? And should I return the navy Sandro dress

Love that l’agence dress marsha. The Sandro skirt is nice but what would you wear it with? I like the navy Sandro dress too (it looks like something blingy might like too?). The Maje red dress is nice but if it doesn’t feel like ‘you’ then not worth keeping.

Another lovely day here. Wish school had finished though so I could enjoy it properly as getting sick of the school run in the heat.

I'd return both Sandro bits Marsha the navy dress and the skirt. Think the skirt will be tricky to wear and when I opened the navy dress link I instantly thought Blingy and I would never consider you two to have the same style.......

The Maje dress is lovely and Blingy's style I feel. Definitely right to send the Sandro t back, re: the sandro skirt, you could probably pull it off but as Every said what would you wear it with? l"Agence dress is great for holiday and the jumpers are good buys too.

I'm trying to get all my work done by 12 so that I can relax in the sun until school pick up.

Great thank you Shop, Everyone, Kitty

Navy Sandro definitely going back, I kind of thought that but good to have it confirmed

On the fence with pale Sandro skirt - would probably dress it down - all pale, APC ecru cashmere top and maybe Marant white trainers hmm

Not sure about the Sandro skirt Marsha - like Everyone I am wondering what you'd wear it with. Everything else I agree with your keepers and returns! Love the l'agence dress, perfect for Italy.

We've had our concept drawings back and felt massively underwhelmed!! But it was because they made it clear that the idea we had about knocking through a structural wall to make the kitchen bigger just isn't going to work. Too expensive, doesn't add much and leaves trying to find space for a laundry really tricky. But now I've seen it all drawn up it's made me realise that the best thing to do is enhance the house as it is! Which is good - much cheaper and means we can spend more of the budget on a really great kitchen instead of on expensive structural work. And we've decided instead to make the space we wanted to use to extend the kitchen into a really good laundry / butlers pantry / boot room. The new central heating system is going in this week. Messy but necessary.

Cross post - I like your thoughts on styling the Sandro skirt Marsha. It might also work with a relaxed pale jersey blazer if / when you go back to work?

Oh yes I like that too Lib and also a slouchy jumper in cooler weather

I think that’s good re your house - imagine the nice stuff you can get now. What fun!

Yes, can up the sofa budget . It will be fun, and quicker to do!

Now you've said that Marsha keep the skirt. Styling sounds good.
Lib all sounds so exciting. I"ve really enjoyed the small bits we;ve been doing to the house recently - switched Sky cabling so could move the living room round, new side door and window, new sofa and all the garden stuff. You stuff will be ace. I found sofa shopping tough. Like buying a mattress - hard to find one that works for MrShop too but he is good at visualising fabrics.

Really late to this Marsha, but love all your links and agree with your keepers and returners! The ones that are more "me" don't do it for me either! Would love to see the skirt on with the styling as hard to imagine. I think the difference is that i can't imagine my big ole arse in it, but you're not "blessed" with one of those!!

I am getting maximum wear out of my wedges at the moment. Today i wore this Ann Taylor dress with my castaner wedges. Bling wear included my boodles necklace which looked great just peaking above the neckline.

Hmm yes might apply to me too
On the fence again!

Marsha - agree with your keepers - not sure about the skirt on as I couldn't wear it, but I can imagine it looking good if you are slim and leggy.

Queen I love GRs and leopard so your link is my perfect shoe! I already have some leopard courts from J Crew which are very similar so luckily I am not tempted by them.

I had some deliveries today - I'm keeping these shoes and this (synthetic, but I think I can bear it as it quite flattering on).

What do you all think about this Rockins skinny scarf?

Shall I keep these?

These are not quite right and are going back.

I'm loving camo print atm - love this skirt. I got it in tall for the extra length.

Fairy some great buys there, am loving the camo skirt and the pale pink TS boots. Shop is a fan of Rockins scarves iirc.

Inspired by mara and her potential needle and thread purchase, I was perusing their site and saw a lovely white broderie Anglaise dress. It arrived today and is a keeper. I got a 12 and it was perfect. It’s a good summer day dress which could work for casual nights out too. It’s this in white. Was a bit creased on arrival though..I do like their embroidered dresses, they are so pretty...

Very pretty Everyone that will really suit you

Yes keep them Fairy

I seem to associate this hot weather with the World Cup, is it usually this hot every four years? I still love the weather

Yes, love a Rockins scarf - really pleased with mine.
I need help Voguettes. I need a replacement for this
Has anyone seen any nice red clutch bags?
I ordered a scallop shaped one from Stories but it is orangey red so no good. Has anyone seen anything?

Fairy keep the TS Boots - fab

P.S. are you new or a NC?

Shop I only post intermittently as I find these threads move so fast! I name change semi-regularly but I'm easy to recognise . I do feel guilty lurking without contributing

Shop what about this Jaeger clutch?

this dress arrived today....took 5mins to try on and repackage. Totally disgusting .....hideous synthetic fabric, HUGE, too long and all in all completely WRONG......so wrong that I didn’t even need to send anyone a pic for advice........ has lie down......I blame the heat

Marsha I love the grey sweater and the coral too....v v you. The Off the shoulder silk dress is perfect.agree on both Sandros though.....not sure.

Everyone i love that N and Th broderie dress.

Fairy easy to recognise because we know you or because you’re a celeb

Good news is I’ve been given a JL voucher.....quite substantial. Will save for something nice for autumn ....
