I've decided to send the black scarlett crew jumper back. The wool is just too itchy for me. But today I'm wearing the forest green love jumper with leggings & it's awesome! Wish they did more of these in other colours

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 10:37

This is annoying,, have spoken to Hush about why my 'mention me' codes dont work and they say I have been blocked for using another email address to order from! Ive changed my mail address because of spam... Nothing they can do apparently even though it s genuine referral , Apparently I am now a blocked 'mention me' user.. Hmm

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 10:38

so the question is is the Felix worth £110 or do i wait to see if it goes in the sale?

SoyYo · 14/12/2018 10:52

Just catching up busy day with work so will try and keep up with the thread.
laska that is outrageous! Angry that you won’t be allowed to use the refer me codes, wtf? I’m glad to see you back btw and a belated Happy Birthday to you. I know it’s been pants but rest assured as a Sag with Jupiter residing in your solar house for a whole year life will be brighter and better for you in the coming months (my inner bohemian chick is a bit woo woo and big time into astrology, and other esoteric subjects Grin)

I’m glad you all relate to these alter egos we express through our clothes and that we all adore a bit of awesome Joni in our lives ❤️
gin Stellas are just the most perfect Xmas jumper
never my inner chick twin, yes Woodstock is beautiful and Ladies of the Canyon one of my favourite Joni albums too, I know every song lyrics by heart 💓 in fact we are in a post modernist way a bit like Ladies of the Canyon in this virtual MN thread
melen and not I LOL at your descriptions of your inner chicks!

So one last one from Joni in honour of you all

ilovecherries · 14/12/2018 11:00

Loving the Joni love. (Wonders idly if one can still buy embroidered cheesecloth shirts. And aqua manda perfume).

Laska, I bought both of mine in the sale. They are lovely dresses but £110 for me is above some notional and arbitrary point in my head where I just say ‘fuck it, I’m having it’. I’m not exactly sure where that point is, but for dresses it’s probably around the £75 mark. Having said that, they are incredibly soft, very comfy forgiving style, and even though they aren’t lined, mine haven’t ‘seated’ at all in the bum. Had I washed them without difficulty I might be happier paying full price, but I’m still being a minger with mine.

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 11:01

Its because I used both addresses to order from using a code I was given,, this was because i had a valid code from the old email address and used tat, then another from the new address.. Apparently this means I must have been referring myself.. ah well, thanks spammers I didnt care whether you sent videos of me supposedly watching porn anyway or was going to pay you millions of bitcoin

SoyYo · 14/12/2018 11:02

laska you deserve to gift yourself a birthday pressie and if you can bear not to wear the Felix till sale time which will only be in a couple of weeks I’d say go for it and you can always grab another one if it come up on the sale and return the one you bought at full price.
Ive got lots of those refer me £20 codes but I guess as you’re not a new customer it wouldn’t work even with your new mail address...

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 11:04

Thats it cherries it is over priced isnt it? . l think ill wait until the sale , but then i feel that a red dress could be cheery (and I could do with cheery ..)

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 11:07

Thats an idea Soy .. Wink..

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 11:18

If any one ever tells you that I have been know to play and sing along to this Joni song several times on a Friday night when I have had a Wineor two , then they are lying!

SoyYo · 14/12/2018 11:30

I’d like an evening of Wine and singing to Joni laska Smile

twosoups1972 · 14/12/2018 11:30

Nice to see you back laska and happy belated birthday Flowers

Thanks for everyone's comments about the Jigsaw jumper. I do like the lighter pink too but I just feel it's a tad too short. I might return and look out for a M which might come up a bit longer.

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 11:32

Well up for that soy . GrinWine

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 11:54

Ive capitulated and allowed naughty Soy to enable me.. you know where to send the cheque, Soy GrinGrinGrin

EachandEveryone · 14/12/2018 13:18

Has anyone tried the Yasmin skirt does it come up big?

SoyYo · 14/12/2018 13:44

Laska Grin Grin

twosoups1972 · 14/12/2018 13:51

I would do what Soy suggested. I have a dark green Felix from a few years ago and I love it. It skims the body perfectly and I always feel good wearing it.

What colour did you get laska?

twosoups1972 · 14/12/2018 13:52

I've never listened to Joni Mitchell before but this discussion makes me think of that bit with Emma Thompson in Love Actually Sad

twosoups1972 · 14/12/2018 14:11

Can we discuss jeans please? For the past so many years, I have only worn skinnies. But I always wondered if they were a good shape on me as I am an inverted triangle with skinny legs and wider shoulders.

I was reading an article by Holly Willoughby recently who said skinnies are terrible for most women, they look like leggings. She recommends a straight cut.

What are your thoughts?

neveradullmoment99 · 14/12/2018 14:22

Hello everyone :)
We have two amber warnings in place for tomorrow. Snow and ice although it looks like its more ice now. Oh the joys.
Anway, considering what you spend, I think hush have got a bloody cheek @Laska.
Glad you ordered the cheery red dress. Its lying in my wardrobe saying wear me!!! However, reserving for Christmas day. Was in Dobbies the garden centre today with my mum. Some lovely decorations but the prices are outrageous!!! [ A bit like hush jumpers!]

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 14:25

Went for the Red two soups

I really like Gap straight leg classic jeans They suit my shape think, I have them in charcoal and blue .. have found they are generous

Laska2Meryls · 14/12/2018 14:26

generous fit, that is but they wash well and retain their shape .. good price at the mo also !

twosoups1972 · 14/12/2018 14:31

The red is gorgeous laska Smile

What footwear do you wear with the Gap jeans?

twosoups1972 · 14/12/2018 14:35

I like those Gap jeans, the cut might balance me out a bit more!
