miss bobbins lol at the menopause musical!!! That sorts out the venue for any meet up at least 
coriander your outfit sounds great. I'm a bit rubbish with navy...normally just end up with tan or grey boots, but that never feels very smart to me. I think black can work too, but it has to be the right kind of black

soups really sorry to hear you've had a difficult day. My DS can be soo whiny sometimes, when we go out of our way to do something nice as a family, it is really wearing... Someone at church asked me whether he was ASD this morning ( he was actually being lovely today once we got going) which made me sad... I don't think he is, but he does find interaction difficult with some other people, and his reactions when things don't go as expected can be a bit excessive. I was worried when he was younger, but think it is just "him", but it can be difficult when we have to change plans/ leave situations etc because of his behaviour. He's really down at the moment about something, and is not able to properly express it to us, so his behaviour at home has been very odd over the weekend saying he hates himself etc. He's fine at school, though, so his teacher is saying there's nothing to worry about...it's so difficult. So

Glad there's general approval of the velvet blazer . I've been stroking it lots... I think I'll keep it but send back the various leather leggings! The sosandar ones are lovely and as cherries said, really nice on the inside, but just not me. The MV leggings would be a really good "gateway drug" though. In terms of size, I'm a 14 / 5'6" and got a L, which were fine - maybe a bit loose on the waist and fine lengthwise... They look amazing on fairies and I was wavering, but in truth I really don't think I'll wear them out of the house. And I do need to stop spending money...! I had a wardrobe clear out this afternoon and I really don't need anything else!
