Here are the Hushistas - counting down for a Very Meryl-y festive season

[Laska3Meryl]

Continuing the Hush (and other nice stuff) love...

cherries shame about the baujken trousers, trouble with most trousers it’s a mission finding the right cut, especially on the hips.

I actually really like you in the mv leggings, but you need to love them. Meryls is fabulous but I’m a sucker for oversized grey jumpers.

That’s the issue, Len. I have size 10 legs, hips and bum but a generous 12 waist and tum.

shame about the Baujken leggigs cherries . will you be trying the Hush ones?
Thanks for the thumbs up on MV leggings but I just know I wont wear them.. ( I definitely wouldnt at work, and dont go out 'dressy-up' much.. I know DH would love them though!! ( I'm not giving him the chance!! ) oh heck, that makes him sound like a right old perv, well he's a bloke..

Grey Meryl.. mmmmmmm. I expect it is staying..(I, mean, Its a Meryl!) but I really will have to forgo looking at anything else..

What else is coming? Boden tops (x4! - I wont keep them all 2 are multiple sizes ) , and this skirt in the rust.

I also have some M&S stuff coming for christmas presents as I had a 20% .

I love the MV leggings on you laska3Meryl, and the snakey M&S ones look great too, but I know what you mean about not really having any opportunity to wear them. Same won't be said about the grey meryl, though - which is lovely. But then I'm biased and not at all stalking the website for a pink return, oh no..
And I wish you hadn't given me the heads up on Ros mari - This pine cone necklace is gorgeous and really unusual. I've been looking for a nice "nature" necklace that isn't flowers or animals/birds/ insects for a while (doesn't leave all that much, I grant you). Maybe i'll ask for that for Christmas...

Pity about the baukjen leggings cherries. Another brand may work with your shape better, maybe?

twosoups - those boots are really, really similar - especially the heel. Definitely give them a go.

Laska skirt looks like a really good wardrobe staple, glad you are keeping the meryl it is lovely.
My Dh asked if I was auditioning for the local amdram production of Grease when he saw the leggings😳😳

I think the leggings look great on you Laska. You have great legs!

My MV's have just arrived. I had to order the small as all the mediums hadgone. They feelcomfy but not sure if they look a bit too tight. Tried on here with my old MV boots and trainers. What do you think?

Not I have that pine cone necklace and never wear it (worn once i reckon ) .. want it for £10? (12 with postage) if so Pm me..

I just got a £20 code from mention me as someone used mine , so and have reordered the Meryl as they had one in .. can justify it easier then

They look good Dave , How do they feel do they stay up ok ? .I am just about to send back my Ms so look out for them !

Len at least its better than Pwhoar!! (or yuck!)

They look good Dave

I think they look fab dave

Question about the MV leggings - I am tempted but I wonder if they will suit me. I am inverted triangle shape so wider shoulders than hips. I do love my skinnies but I wonder if leggings with a chunky jumper will make my top half look even wider....?

That's what I am also twosoups see above photo! Im pretty much a 14 on top due to norks and quite wide shoulders and narrow hips more 12/10.. I'm certainly not putting my self up a apex of big jumper / MV leggings loveliness but it may give you some idea..

..... but they are cheap enough and free returns

dont forget to use code TOGETHER15 for 15% off

Just popping in for some light relief as I’m having a “Death by Powerpoint” day today and see the new lovely Meryl on laska and with £20 off too! No brainer really and you need to live up to your name , nice Boden skirt too!

Yes I thought Sandy @Grease (but fatter and much much older) when I saw myself in the MV leggings but I still like them so I’m keeping. So there! and dave I think they look great on you I wouldn’t size up and soup I’m same shape as cherries laska and you : exaggerated inverted triangle and yes it’s a bitch trying to balance our shape, depends whether you wear leggings at all and what you feel comfortable with. If you’ve not worn leggings in a while then go the whole way and try the MV as they are cheap with the discount and free returns?

not oh my that necklace is lovely 🙈not looking at that website okay? and very unusual

cherries shame the Baukjen were a nay but now you can try Hush!

Thank you @laska and @SoyYo may give them a go.

Opinions on this dress I saw in Zara the other day?

www.zara.com/uk/en/dress-with-pockets-p06254150.html?v1=7467508&v2=1074618

But I tell you what: one of the advantages of hanging out with the biker crowd is that they’re the most unstylish in a very stylish weird way crowd. Anything goes! Specially if it involves leather, camo, hoodies, biker boots and shiny leggings!

I’m sure their style is one of the key reasons I befriended them in my teens and ended up marrying one so I can continue to dress like a demented rock throwback well into my nineties!
Oh yes the bikes are not bad either

soup very sixties vibe that Zara dress in an understated way.
To be honest I’d never try it myself because I’d immediately discard it as not suiting my shape disclaimer I wear things that don’t suit my shape so I’d say try it on and if you feel good in it Yes.

Meant I’d never think of trying it because of my shape and the high neck...have you tried it on?

soup I really like the zara dress, bit different & definitely a sixties vibe.
I have no idea what shape I am😳 probably that’s why I find it so hard knowing what suits me, I’m drawn to more fitted clothes as I feel a bit daft in anything to oversized/loose as I feel swamped being so short.
Dunno food for thought.

melen I reckon you’re what they call a “gamine” shape: petite and small boned a la Audrey Hepburn and a dress like the one soup posted above wouldn’t swamp you but highlight your positives...I’m only going by your descriptions and the photo you posted in the leggings upthread.
Then it’s a matter of also being true to the style you feel most at home with (romantic, gentlewoman, sporty etc) maybe you like vintage styles?

I have to go back to my neverending PowerPoint as I have a work call to present later this pm but in YouTube search for gamine style and see what comes up, I recall watching some videos based on a questionnaire some fashion boy developed and some of it makes sense to help you identify what styles suit your shape best

Soy that’s interesting, never even heard of that shape, yes definitely like vintage, I have a couple of original fifties dresses (boat necks fitted top & full skirts, also have a few fitted shift dresses which look good I think)

It’s “kibbe” body shapes I was thinking of, search for that in YouTube melen (but I warn you it’s a whole rabbit hole!) I just searched in my history and this is as good as any for starters:

Then once you’re pretty sure you understand your shape and the styles that suit it it’s a matter of matching that to your personal style preferences

Afternoon all. Trying to psych myself up to get ready, we have tickets got Florence & the machine with a 3 course meal tonight in Leeds . Normally I'd be raring to go but I'm so zapped of energy I wish I was going to bed. But I'm gonna get the war paint on and make an effort.

❤️ you all in the MV leggings
@ilovecherries that sounds so painful I don't blame you at all for wanting surgery

@Laska r u sure you're still a 36" bra strap? You look so tiny! Get that tape measure out.

Going to try my old mv leggings, sylvie blouse n hush blazer tonight.

Catch u later
