MNV- Vol 85 The Winter Warmer Edition

[FedupNagging]

Christmas and the sales are sadly over but winter is still here for a few months yet.

Come and show us your cosy knits and woolly hats whilst we dream of summer - everyone welcome, the more the merrier.

I saw those pics yesterday Blingy and decided that saying nothing was the best option 🤣

Dream sending you hugs

Blair which vit D do you take? I'd read that it's also good for joint pain so thinking about taking as my current otc meds don't seem that effective.

Currently deciding what to wear today, as with everyone else I'm so over the jumpers, skinnies and boots!

I know FedUp, I try and have a don't be mean policy so i restricted myself to "I have no words"!

Just seen this Chloé top which i really like. I could see wearing it with my leather leggings.

How pretty is this dress? Also love the navy crops and yellow blouse-a good outfit for spring days.

The sandals are from Joules and have caught my eye

Littlered I think you were after some wooden heeled sandals? How about these silver Hasbeens?

Oh my eyes that dress!!

Great trainers Marsha, lovely scarf. The dress does look short for lunch!

I love that maxi dress fedup where is it from?

Is turning cold here and dark in the mornings. Clocks go back tonight. House stuff means I'm broke so no new clothes and very overdue a cut and colour.

Blair getting your style mojo back after a baby can take a while.

Dream sorry to hear you're having a difficult time. Hope you are ok.

It's a lovely dress, though I wouldn't wear it with the matching shoes!

The top and trousers outfit is lovely.

Lib, this was my dsis last year in renovation hell and broke, it will be over soon and you will be in your swooshy "new" house. Dsis used to glare at me when i told her that!

Haha at glaring at you Blingy at least she wasn’t in it, glad you all survived ;

Lib it’s hard but hang in there

Fedup really nice

Blair I think so, I’m sending it back. The search continues

Kitty pink Madewell sounds really nice

So pleased to see you all, I got worried for a minute!

I found it on Trouva Lib but is a Dutch Brand. Your house will be amazing when completed so grinning and bearing it is the only way to go!

Great Chloe top Blingy - the lace cuff adds an edge. It definitely looks better teamed with a plain item of clothing (black leather leggings) rather than the matching skirt.

Marsha are you sending them all back?

I don’t think so Fedup, but definitely the dress. Need to reorder the Marants as a bit small, and need to decide on scarf

Blair I meant to say yep I had that voucher where you get more off the more you spend. I also got a pair of socks to round up to next level of course

I’m packing atm and trying to remember how much to take - I either go over or under need to concentrate! Weather looks good fingers crossed. I have about 10 European regions on my phone, loads of rain but it looks like we will be (really) lucky

When are you off Marsha?

Tonight! Taxi this afternoon

Thanks for the good wishes. Things improving so far. I'm devastated but coping ok.

Think I’ve got a problem ....so, decided I needed a new white t shirt. (Blingy enables with a Gap code).....got all ver enthusiastic and now have 5 new whit t shirts and a black one too...... . So many different styles to choose from! (So I bought them all )

Dream fashion mojo never leaves, it just goes off a bit from time to time. It will come back soon......maybe what you need is a few white t shirts to set you straight

Dream sorry to hear things are tough.

Have a lovely holiday Marsha. We're off to Cornwall too Everyone, sadly not looking great so far.

That dress Blingy! I thought cleavage was out.

Lib you must be nearly there house wise? We're deep in building site here. It's been pretty chilly ace the house is rather exposed. Very relieved we didn't start any earlier in the year. At least it's starting to take shape, still lots of tricky decisions to make, included trying to get my concrete floor! This week has been about foundations & windows.

Have been having massively busy time with that, Dd2's birthday & ridiculous uncertainty at work re Brexit. Hope it will all get easier after 12 April, at least we'll know one way or another.

I cut my knee this week and so have been wearing mainly baggy clothes. It's been good - I rediscovered a green Hush jumpsuit I hadn't worn all winter. Could really do with the weather improving though!

The end is in sight stokey. I'm hoping by end of next week the kitchen will be done (apart from tiles and painting) and the master bedroom and ensuite should be done by then too. After that it's painting and decorating the hall, stairs and landing and a bit of a tidy up of the main bathroom.

Brexit is really awful and stressing me out a lot. I'm worrying about impact on family and friends and find myself waking in the middle of the night to check updates. Really feeling for you all having to live through it.

Marsha good call on the dress.
Dream good to hear you are coping - take care of yourself.

Had a little browse around the shops today, going to try some links.

Love this jacket, really soft and warm and in a perfect deep marine blue.

snuggly sweater

Kate Slyvester denim dress

Stella and Gemma earrings

Decided I did deserve a little treat, this Fedora in Heather Green

Ooh lovely to wake up to links. all very you Lib, I love the dress and earrings.

Glad to hear the kitchen is nearly there Lib must be a relief.

Great links, love the Fedora & denim dress particularly.

Have just sent kids off to a party then have late lunch with friends for her birthday. Think I'm going to wear a Pyrus dress, it's like this one but a blue batik pattern. I bought it in their sample sale & it's so comfy. I feel like I've owned it forever.

Shopping alert!!

I just bought this Alexander McQueen jacquard knit dress. Been in my basket for ages and decided to buy.

I linked this Chloé lace trimmed zebra print satin top yesterday and just bought it. I was on another thread earlier where as usual some op was being ripped to bits and someone came along and said leather leggings are for prostitutes and are so 10 years ago. Anyway I think this top goes with my Theory leather leggings which are also around this season

Anyway back to my shopping...beginning to turn my head to my May half term holiday. So I got these Veronica Beard linen shorts and this Madewell linen jumpsuit. We are going somewhere very hot so everything needs to be cotton and linen.

The thing I really resisted was the new Chloé C bag. I have seen it in different colours and I am a little in love. Hope you're all having a good Sunday. Dh is working in the US this week and left after lunch.

Blingy I LOVE the McQueen and the Chloe top. Fierce. Can't wait to see them on . Love how you go from those to demure shorts and linen jumpsuits.
Bag is also gorgeous.
My yoga instructor arrived to do our private class this morning with a gorgeous Victoria Beckham bag which she'd picked up for £300ish down from over £1,000. Can't find it to link but chestnut brown with a wide canvas strap. The leather was already marking badly though.
Tough day here - went to see DF in hospital and he had forgotten where I live, amongst many other things. Sad to see the deterioration. He did remember my wedding day though (10 year anniversary this week).
In make up news this is a bit of a godsend in terms of making me look half human. I am still having major under eye issues with dark shadows. Blair do you have the Becca stuff? They are rating it in ST Style today - I'm wondering whether to give it a go or just accept that my eyes won't improve until I get less stressed......Sending love to you all.
I

Hello all. Long time, no see. LIfe has been busy and stressful and although I’ve been shopping as a stress response, a lot of stuff has gone back.

dreamsorry to hear things are bad at the moment. Hugs to you.
shop I’ve just read that sT article and wondered about getting the navy eyeliner mentioned!!
blingy love that you don’t buy for ages and then have a massive splurge!

Hope everyone else is ok. I’ve only read back for a few posts so hope I haven’t missed too much.
