Link to old thread :)

My favourite is the first one too.

I’ve always been uncertain about leopard print. For many years I really disliked it. Then it became more familiar to me as so many Istagrammers wear it but at the back of my mind my thoughts on it haven’t really changed although I think it can look great on people. DMBL40 wears it with ease. Then again she wears everything with ease.

One of my favourite threads on S&B is how to look groomed and expensive. I am neither but aspire to both 😀

If anyone really likes the Santorini bag but is a little ouchie at the cost of what is essentially a paper bag, I have just bought this

Still a bit pricey but its lovely and will solve my current desire for a straw bag!! I may have also made some brightly coloured Pom Poms for it

My second pair of BF jeans arrived in the size 8.

They are significantly tighter around the belly than the 10's!

Not sure whether to keep them or not as the 10's have stretched out a bit.

Marissa dress should be here later too.

I bought the pink Nini dress and the portobello dress. Undoubtedly the portabello suits me more. However I LOVE the Nini dress. I bought size 12 and it is too big but fits my big hips. I can’t see where I’d wear it. I’d need an entire bottle of fake tan. But it is soooooo pretty. Someone talk sense into me please!!!!

It's a long short but does anyone have a returns label? I didn't realise it wasn't the usual free returns and some items sadly aren't suitable.

Cherries you look fabulous- my favourite is the first one.
Re leopard print - there are a lot of threads on S & B where posters come on and instantly dismiss something as 'cheap' looking or 'Frumpy' (think bet lynch/endless sandals threads). I love a bit of leopard print.
There is an obsession on mumsnet with looking 'expensive' and 'groomed' and certain things are dismissed as being unstylish in a way that is so sanctimonious, often ageist and in such a matter of fact way that actually it's easy to forget that style and fashion is about being individual.
It's a good job we don't all look like clones from the expensive and well groomed threads because that would just be so dull. Imagine that? How boring if we were all wearing navy and tan with our hair in the same sleek bob.
To me what makes someone stick out as stylish is wearing something with confidence so I say if you like a bit of leopard print wear it with pride! Who cares what anyone else thinks anyway?

Dave shame about the star jeans, hopefully they'll stretch with a bit of wear?

Who cares what anyone else thinks anyway?

Ummmm.......I care. For many items of clothing if I like them, then yes I will wear them but if I am in any way unsure, I care quite a lot what others might think.

Does anybody have the Greenwich top? I really like the look of it but £79!!!

Here's my Marissa.. creased to buggery as usual but I do like it and think I'll wear it lots on holiday and in this heatwave here too!

Sorry if you're offended whitesea but some of us on here have posted pictures of ourselves in leopard print and look lovely in it (in my opinion)
Dave that dress looks great! Can't remember if you kept the other one? I love it in the green on you.

Whitesea I bought both the Portobello and Nine and kept the Portobello.

The Nini was ok, but it seemed to have so much material up top, and also I wasn't keen on the stripy pattern on the material. Love the Porto though!

Have you got pics??

ella I am 50/50 on returning the jeans. I kind of ordered them more to try on for size and because they were in the sale. They look nice in the fit but the waist band is quite tight. My 10's are just so super-comfy!

Yeah it's a bit of a nuisance with the waist stretching slightly but it does sort itself out after a wash so not too problematic.
I don't think I'd be able to get into an 8 bit I have ordered an 8 in the other ones (the paler ones) just to see what they're like. Not arrived yet though.

ooh post pics when they arrive please!

which other dress did you mean? I returned the blue Bay dress as it just looked like a sack on me! Having trouble with Royal Mail though who seem to have mislaid it en route back to Hush, so god knows when I'll get my refund

The other patterned Marissa dress? I think you got that?

No I didn't order that one, although I do love the fabric.

Have your BF jeans arrived yet?

I love the Haze on you also cherries mine will be waiting for me when i get home. One thing I did think of ( since I have ordered such a lot and wont be back for nearly 3 weeks) is that I hope Hush and JL wont make a fuss about returns. They are usually 28 days but I didnt look to see if it was a 14 day period for sale items . In the past though Hush have accepted beyond 28 days I have found.. and well, I never ehave any trouble spending JL vouchers!!

Love the Marissa on you Dave .I wore mine out last night and to the local market on Saturday .

I have green santana and yellow slub T on right now..just off out for dinner

Its me who has the Marisa in the other print. I think Laska had it as well, but swapped it for the green.

@DavetheCat2001 no but I'm not a friend so don't get the next day delivery. Both parcels have been dispatched but not got either yet. I've only just got back from a weekend away anyway and am at work tomorrow so hopefully they'll be here for Wednesday when I'm off and won't miss delivery.
Laska is it definitely 14 days for sales returns?

I didn't see people had posted photos. Sorry.

Whitesea only post pics if you want to

I love seeing the stuff in real life on other people.

Thanks Laska..hope you're having a nice holiday. Have you worn yours out yet cherries?

Oh yes I remember now. Both lovely dressed. I did order the butterfly one but sent it back thinking I'd never get a chance to wear it up here in the North East.. regretting it now that it's 26 degrees and looks set to stay that way for a while..
