I'm on a train on my way to visit afriend who luves on the south coast.

Wearing my Hush leopard leggings and green wide neck top for the first time.

Also wearing my Boden leopard coat so quite possibly iverdone the leopard thang today haha.

I think if you wear things in a grown up way, its fine. I saw a woman mid 40's wearing dungarees and she would have looked fine but she was wearing one of the straps undone. Personally the look was too try hard. I just wear mine with a v neat cream jersey print shirt or a tee and ankle boots. I keep it plain if it is a slighlty quirky style. Love the boots @ porpoise.

Like it dave. Smile

SoyYo · 22/09/2018 10:57

It’s fab mixing the spots dave! Have a lovely day!

porpoise great boots!

To the OP with the black star jeans I agree with comments on size but I think they look equally good slouchy and to make it easier to put on/off. Sorry to read about your arthritis Flowers but if you can feel well put together it helps no end to feel better about life...

DavetheCat2001 · 22/09/2018 10:58

Thanks never.

I only realised it was perhaps overkill as I was rushing out the door this morning.

Asked OH who said 'unmmm maybe a bit too much'!

I didn't have time to change though so thought sod it. I live in London and people wear all sorts!

DavetheCat2001 · 22/09/2018 10:59

SoyYo I read that as 'great boobs!' 😂

Missbobbins · 22/09/2018 10:59

@neveradullmoment99 & @SoyYo - bloody hell - you both look incredible - I never would have pegged you as older than me - what are your secrets? ❣️

Ok - I am going to rock it - first trip out will be to Sainsbury's (totally rock and roll I know 😂) but once I have mastered the supermarket I can do anything!

Thank you ladies - you are awesome.

DavetheCat2001 · 22/09/2018 11:01

Never that zebra star jumper is really nice, but why so £££? Is it cashmere?

DavetheCat2001 · 22/09/2018 11:04

@Pigeonpost I think the black star jeans look really good on you. Agree with never re maybe not rolling them up so high though.

I have my new Hoxton leopard boots in my case too to wear out this evening. I will be wearing my black MV skinny jeans and a band tee though.

I'd be in danger of morphing into Bet Lynch territory!

SoyYo · 22/09/2018 11:13

dave Grin

missflit the secret is in the attached pic 🤣🤣🤣 seriously enjoy rocking your leather jacket! Yes I wear mine equally to Sainsbury’s or work and yesterday had to give myself a stern talking to as I saw a red leather biker jacket at Cortefiel (on hols in Spain) which I resisted trying on...I mean how many do I need? but I don’t yet own a red one Grin

@dave. No its not!!! I think it hazs some wool in it. Will check.

neveradullmoment99 · 22/09/2018 11:20

Its a mix of bamboo, cotton and wool

SoyYo · 22/09/2018 11:25

About to go out but first feedback for never
Really like the dress on the first pic on you, no idea of £ but looks great on you. Skirt I’m undecided about, I would like to see it with a shorter top on. The camel is also difficult to style and from memory I think you and I have similar warm/light olive skin colouring: I find camel shades very difficult to pull off, they make me look washed out next to my face, just something to consider if it has a lot of warmth in it it should be fine...

neveradullmoment99 · 22/09/2018 11:26

Oh and i ordered a 12 in the tansy and thought it was a bit neater than the blue. Turns out it is a 10. Still fits but neater on bust. Goi g to send back anyway.

enabledlurker · 22/09/2018 11:27

Never I have the pale blue star v neck.It is lovely -not worn it yet though because it's still hot here and because of horrendous hot flushes!

neveradullmoment99 · 22/09/2018 11:28

Thanks soyo. I think its all going back. The top is too long with the skirt. I have a neayer shorter mango one and it wluld be far better.

neveradullmoment99 · 22/09/2018 11:28

I have the hot flushes too so can commiserate with you!

neveradullmoment99 · 22/09/2018 11:30

I am returning just thought id post so you could all see the items in rl before i do. The tansy in green is lovely and may reorder. I agree with camel. Not sure it loves me.

Talisin · 22/09/2018 12:14

Missbobbins I’ve worn that olive skirt with black opaques, boots and a leather biker. Also wore the olive tara with a leather jacket, bare legs and trainers a few weeks back. Basically you can wear a leather biker with pretty much anything, it’s about the most versatile piece of clothing you can own.

Talisin · 22/09/2018 12:17

Weird tip of the day: Next Older Girls footwear section goes up to size 41 and it tends to be significantly cheaper than the adults section. There’s a perfectly nice pair of leather biker boots on there currently for between £36-£42 (the smaller your feet, the less you pay).

neveradullmoment99 · 22/09/2018 12:22

@talisan. Have been twmpted in the past. Much cheaper and leather too!

Laska5772 · 22/09/2018 15:42

oh lawd! I've not caught up from yesterday !and you've been even more chatty!
Ok so ill go back a bit .. . Tiger scarf never I really like it and yes its expensive but is YOOnique!!Grin.. keep it i'd say. Zebra jumper? . Its a bit meh I think TBH.
porpoise live the Daniel boots Envy but I have settled for the Clarks orinocos but now have both he black and the grey.Blush

*never I have lost what those three dress, skirt and camel dress are .. but I like the dress, skirt is good also i think, but camel was never my favourite colour, so not keen on the dress,

Dave Double Leopard!! , but really it looks fine. I wore my green top and leopard leggings to work the other day ..

soy a red biker jacket ! buy it !!

Laska5772 · 22/09/2018 15:51

My Joules jumpers came I had a code so 15% off . Ordered the ochre and the plum and I love them both .

The M&S skirt is waiting for me , but i did get a really nice black and white checked skirt for £16.99 in TKmaxx the other day . So I probably wont keep the M&S one..
I also ordered those plum boots Miffy had (under the influence of WineBlush).. I dont need 3 pairs of boots though and i am definitely keeping the Clarks ones .
