Oh heck this is just ridiculous......

I accidentally fell back onto 100 stars and decided 12 quid for an embroidered cotton bolero is quite reasonable really.

Before I know it I’ll have ordered that Joules bag too Blush Blush

ilovecherries · 17/05/2019 12:13

huff, how tall are you? I often find Hush dresses too short without tights, but that dress looks a good length. If you tell me you are five foot, I will cry!

Laska does NOT need a new summer crossbody bag because she has this one virtually unused .. Right.. ? . Right.
...Do remind me of that sometime

Huff the dresses are just right do not size down, they so suit your shape (jealous here could never get away with the stripy shape) and you know what it’s like if you feel 100% comfy you will wear, also love the dress styled with that beautiful kimono pattern that now shall be mine too Smile
As to the wren soo much better! Still slouchy but doesn’t swamp you one bit. It’s one of those easy to thrown on jackets that goes with everything (and I’m grateful you sized down as I grabbed your 10 return) that I’ve worn it every time I’ve had to pop out of the house since I got it earlier this week (and believe me I’m not short of jackets!) so YES to it all.

Huffthepuff · 17/05/2019 12:16

I'm 5.6 Cherries. It is a good length. Anything far above the knee and I just won't have the guts to wear it. Because of the lining it feels more modest too. Like it won't blow up in the wind and expose my giant pants

twosoups1972 · 17/05/2019 12:19

Wow this thread is moving fast!

Hi @Soy you look AMAZING! Love the trousers and the kimono. Such beautiful colours. I share your top heavy pain! But I've definitely found that sort of trouser works well for our shape. Bye bye skinnies!

@cherries hope the cleaning is going well and boobs not giving you hassle today.

@huff yay you got the bag! We can be bag buddies Grin The Miriam dress looks great on you, not as voluminous from the side as I thought it might be. So that's a 10 right?

ilovecherries · 17/05/2019 12:19

Would work fo me as well then. I’m 5’7, though worried I may have lost some height recently.

Thank you all 🙏 I would be very glad (and so would my cc) if I don't have to order the size down... It's just rather big around my rib cage and I worried it could look a bit maternity. But looking at the pic again I think it's just right on my shoulders so the 8 may be too small.

Ninkaninus · 17/05/2019 12:21

Ohhh Laska the colours in your bag are lovely.

But well, I don’t know, do you have a bag exactly like the aurora one? with a tassel? In red (or whatever colour applies)?

Well do you??

If not, I think you know what my answer is going to be...

Laska2Meryls · 17/05/2019 12:21

Huff Miriam dress I meant, (white and black one) . anyway it looks great on you (they both do,..)

Laska2Meryls · 17/05/2019 12:22

Why is there a photo of my bag again on that last post ? MN is doing some very weird things.. (or I am , !!, probably me! )

Laska2Meryls · 17/05/2019 12:25

Just Stop it ninka Grin... I do have a red Fossil bag as well Blush

twosoups1972 · 17/05/2019 12:25

Grin at *huff's giant pants

SoyYo · 17/05/2019 12:26

@nink such a dangerous thread! Grin
@laska ditto! That bag is so lovely! You’re not allowed any more till that gets and outing stern soy voice

Talisin sorry my comment upthread was for you not binky about the Santana and stripy jumper, just had 10 pages of missed thread to absorb and mixed up names. Anyway again totally love your purchases.

Before I forget @never the pale Hush denim jacket 👍👍👍 I have one similar from last year New Look which I love and its a perfect summer denim shade. Goes with everything!

Huffthepuff · 17/05/2019 12:29

Lovely bag @Laska2Meryls 🤗
Yes the Wren is such a great jacket. I really wanted to wear it a couple of times this week and was desperate for the new one to arrive so that's a good sign. Will wear it with a slub tee and marina skirt to work this week for sure.

Length would be fine on you Cherries. You should definitely order. I think jacket wise it would work with a fitted denim jacket?

PorpoisefullyObtuse · 17/05/2019 12:29

@ellapaella my jeans and sandals are fatface (a shop which you got me on to - remember your lovely trousers from last year?)

@soyyo can we have a pic of your trousers haremed??

Ninkaninus · 17/05/2019 12:29

I seriously can’t cope. I’m going to be in trouble!! But...it is my birthday month...and I’ve got loads of stuff to list on eBay.

Ninkaninus · 17/05/2019 12:35

Sigh. Any codes about for Hush?

Huffthepuff · 17/05/2019 12:38

GRAZIA19 or SUMA19 get 10% off till the 19th I believe

Laska2Meryls · 17/05/2019 12:38

That bag was bought to compliment a dress I planned to wear for a nieces wedding , which was then postponed ,because they bought a house and then realised they were having a baby! (wedding is next year now and I can still use the planned outfit , but I shall definitely use that bag this summer)

Ninkaninus · 17/05/2019 12:39

Laska sorry! Grin Grin

Ninkaninus · 17/05/2019 12:41

Thanks for codes! 🌷 I’ve given up on this month. But next month I’m going to be STRONG!

Laska2Meryls · 17/05/2019 12:45

Ha ha! Ninka if you want to do that you'll have to stay away from this thread then .. Grin

(although Len has a good No spend bench , she may let you sit on )

dontcallmelen · 17/05/2019 12:46

huff yy the smaller jacket looks so good on you & love the dress😍

grannycake · 17/05/2019 12:47

i am in amazon jeans (!!) a pink Hush t shirt and the Cupar trainers (which still hurt the toe on my right foot but I keep trying to soften them) I am in work but as I don't work this afternoon and I didn't have any meetings I am dressed more casually than I normally would
