Slipper slope? Ah...slippery slope... [ unless referring to Soyos gorgeous hush sheepskin slippers that are to die for]

NotAnActualSheep · 14/11/2018 22:38

Oh yes. I got some slippers too as a result of the slipper-y slope that this thread is Grin.

Ellapaella · 14/11/2018 22:59

@dontcallmelen you look great, totally rocking the leggings. Really nice jumper too.
@Missbobbins you look fab also, I think your boots look good with leggings and love the dress.

@Laska3Meryl the grey Meryl will be the perfect partner with the faux leather leggings though... you know it!

Ellapaella · 14/11/2018 23:01

Missed a whole page of the thread somehow! Catching up now with a glass of port. Yes port. I love port, someone bought us a vintage bottle ages ago as a gift and we were saving it for Christmas but with all the car drama I decided to have a little sip tonight.

Ellapaella · 14/11/2018 23:08

Have you been on the port @Alwaysasparklymoment99 what with all your talk of slipper slopes me thinks you have 😁🍷
@Laska3Meryl glad you managed to use the voucher - the Breton top is lovely. I will probably go back for it if still available after I have remortgaged my house to pay for car repairs.Grin

SoyYo · 14/11/2018 23:30

Welcome coriander and fairies I guess the trick with the S&M...sorry MV leggings Grin is to wear them as cherries said with enough coverage, I can attest they don’t give you camel toe!

miss thanks for posting your MV which do look great and really like you in the flower rocks (reminding myself to wear pretty frocks with biker boots more often, it’s a great look!)
See what you started @Ella? Wink

laska looking forward to seeing you in the grey Meryl and leggings.

cherries ditto the Baukjen leggings! Wow! And Flowers to you the story about your poor shoulders made me wince, I do hope next summer you won’t have to deal with that...

not is it only 2 weeks ago? Must be at least 3 threads ago! And you’ve got much warmer toes for joining Wink

YY to a meetup sometime 🍾🥂 and till we get it together to make it happen (if ever) you lot never fail to amuse, support and inspire.

AFingerofFudge · 14/11/2018 23:31

Hi all! Sorry I'm so rubbish at keeping up. At work tonight, but managed to wear my Hush black sweatshirt with the pink lightning flash in. A number of admirers, a couple who had never heard of Hush so am spreading the word!

I haven't been buying anything clothes wise as have just had DS2's birthday. DS3's Birthday is in 3 weeks time and then there's Christmas, so I'll be saving up for the sales I think.

Oh, I have indulged a little in a Diptyque candle and a few Jo Loves (Jo Malone) items Blush but I need to sell a few more bits on eBay before any more money is spent.

SoyYo · 14/11/2018 23:37

What is wrong with my iPhone? frocks not flower rocks.
always indeed it’s a slippery slope! 😂

SoyYo · 14/11/2018 23:41

Hiya fudge good to read you and that your Hush top got compliments.
Dyptique candle and J.Malone sound delicious indulgences!

HLBug · 15/11/2018 06:01

Morning all. Not posted for a few weeks but just wanted to share my excitement - I have a work event today in a city with both a JL Hush concession and an actual Mint Velvet shop. I'm after a black marina skirt...and maybe those MV leather leggings too Blush

MaryJenson · 15/11/2018 06:50

Thanks for advice about the Hush Dionne

I don’t wear black, hence the problem but like the idea of picking out he darker green 😊 I also think charcoal grey could work

twosoups1972 · 15/11/2018 07:40

Has anyone tried the black/grey/cream colourblock jumper from Hush?

I've also just noticed they have some really pretty earrings, tempted!

Happy Thursday all Smile

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 15/11/2018 08:22

@ Mary i think navy would work too.😀

NotAnActualSheep · 15/11/2018 08:56

@Mary Yes, charcoal definitely. I think the blouse the model has on is more charcoal than black in real life... The skirt colours are quite muted, so it should look lovely with navy, charcoal and possibly lighter colours (light grey picking up the colour around the spots, or even a beige/ oatmeal if you can find one that doesn't look too stark...). I shouldn't wear black either, so my colour consultant would be proud of me trying to find alternatives! I might try it with the Scarlett oatmeal jumper which I got in the flash sale a few weeks ago, which might work.

Enjoy your candle fudge - they are such nice feel-good items that are better for the bank balance than Meryl's! And bug, I hope you manage to sneak away from work early enough to make use of the shopping opportunities! ( I always have good intentions whenever I go to London to do the same, but end up so knackered from an early start, or with feet aching from inappropriate footwear I never quite manage it!)

I'm not leaving the house today until picking up DS, so not intending on removing the toasty slippers Grin as if I usually do

ilovecherries · 15/11/2018 09:29

Ros Mari sale just started. Loads of Xmas shopping done!

ilovecherries · 15/11/2018 10:12

Baukjen leather legging update. They are sadly too baggy round the crotch and have a bit of a jodhpur vibe going on on the outer thighs. I don’t think a 10 would work yet as a smaller or tighter rise would be too small.

ilovecherries · 15/11/2018 10:16

Which means in hush currency I’ve saved 2.5 Meryls.

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 15/11/2018 10:25

Well I wish mine didn't fit @cherries. I exchanged mine for another pair because of a loose stitch that was bugging me and they fit perfectly. Then again, I am pear shaped so I fill the hip bit out in mine and find them pretty narrow to get on. I have saved money in my paypal as there are so many things to buy this month so its not like its real money - right? Anyway, hope you find a pair that suits. You should try the hush ones again. They are narrow so am sure they would be good. I have to wriggle mine on.

twosoups1972 · 15/11/2018 10:27

That's a shame @ilovecherries, at least you've saved some money Smile

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 15/11/2018 10:27

One thing to bear In mind is that they will stretch out a bit. Even after trying the original hush ones I had, they had stretched out a bit more so were easier getting on and off. They are very comfy on though!!! The only thing is though, I am scared to wear them incase I dirty them - stupid, I know.

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 15/11/2018 10:29

Thinking carefully about what I am wearing under them. Tried them on with my dm's and cashmere jumper and I liked the look. Was worried it might look a bit too much but it was fine. I left the bottoms a bit ruched rather than tucking them in and they looked good.

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 15/11/2018 10:30

Oh was going to try some tights under them to protect them - less wiping and washing. Then again, maybe to hot!!!!

twosoups1972 · 15/11/2018 10:33

On the R&B boots front, I've found a similar pair from Office:

www.office.co.uk/view/product/office_catalog/2,42/3271600079

They're probably not as good quality but I might try them....

Laska3Meryl · 15/11/2018 10:43

Ok here are photos grey Meryl ( which I love/ and MV leggings which I think are going back . I really don't feel right in then
they look fine I think but just don't feel 'me'. I think I would always feel self conscious in them . But the M&S one s I do really love and feel good in ( photo of just the leggings) . They are coated by sort of cracked leather look. I've tried to show you the texture. These are only 19.50 and feel much better and more robust. And definitely Me ! Smile.
I really shouldn't keep the Meryl though. I havespent a lot ( don't need to know about Ros Mari sale!!) I need to look at bank account Hmm.

Laska the grey Meryl looks really lovely, also the MV leggings but if you don’t feel comfortable & prefer the M&S best to go with the ones you will wear, although I do think they both look great.
