Seeing how beautiful the Yasmin dress looks on never I’ve done the sheep thing and ordered in a 14 (no 12’s left). Fingers crossed!

The ombré t shirt dress arrived and is a keeper, similar fit to Jamie t shirt dress. The M is generous but I kind of like that as it’s meant to be an easy throw on dress for the summer. Nice linen/cotton mix soft light fabric too. See pic.
The cotton stripy hoody jumper has gone back though. Too generous in M but as it’s been ooo for ages letting people know in case someone needs to try it it’ll be back in stock early next week I imagine as I’ve posted back today.

Love the prints Jackie! And well done on grabbing the maxi! Personally I wouldn’t shorten it, it’s lovely as it is, print would be great with a plain black jumper and tights/boots on mild autumn days...

Doh attaching ombré dress pic now.

Love the prints, so fresh @Laska2Meryls
It was a day that i took one step forward and three back😡

twosoups1972 · 07/08/2019 17:53

@Laska2Meryls great T.K. Maxx haul

@SoyYo love the ombré dress on you

Well after saying to myself that IS IT for summer spending, I’ve just ordered some last minute sale things from Hush. Black Kyra dress (not too hopeful), Elspeth dress, a black skirt (can’t remember the name), Carly jumpsuit and a couple of tops. Oh and the midnight bias cut dress.

Just seen some lovely sandals from the hotel shop. My dds have pointed out I have SO MANY shoes Grin but they are lovely and only 29 euros.....

Laska2Meryls · 07/08/2019 18:49

never did you keep the Linda shirt? when you ordered it earlier in the season?

I sent it back because I thought it was too expensive, (and the one I ordered was it was too big ) but now reduced.. Am wondering whether to reorder

Laska2Meryls · 07/08/2019 18:49

it is very thin..

noodlezoodle · 07/08/2019 18:57

Gah, just typed a long reply and my browser crashed and it disappeared.

Never, I love the maxi dress and jumpsuit, both look fab on you.

I haven't been buying any Hush but did get a couple of H&M bargains. First this lovely maxi skirt which I think someone on here recommended but I'm afraid I can't remember who: www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0764416001.html It's really lovely although surprisingly long - I'm 5'10" and it's still properly maxi length on me.

Also this dress which is basically just a sack but an extremely comfy sack at that: www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0762630001.html

Am feeling rather portly at the moment (hence the sack dress) and would love to join you on the wellness thread, think I need some healthy recipe inspiration!

dontcallmelen · 07/08/2019 19:13

Soups glad you are having a lovely holiday, €29 sandals are a steal 😂

neveradullmoment99 · 07/08/2019 19:14

@laska2Meryls, yes I did. I have worn it but its just too warm for me atm. I need a t-shirt. Great for autumn. I have had compliments. Beautiful colours.

neveradullmoment99 · 07/08/2019 19:15

Thanks @noodlezoodle. Its actually much much nicer in real life.

neveradullmoment99 · 07/08/2019 19:16

The dress is. Its very flattering.

Laska2Meryls · 07/08/2019 19:18

Here is the green fringe detail skirt , which I am keeping, it could be cheaper ( and was on BA ,but not with postage) and quite a difficult colour to match, but I wear the black one of these I have constantly in the summer.. and I haven't taken it off since trying it on !!

Laska2Meryls · 07/08/2019 19:28

I have reordered the shirt, It was nice , ordered both the 10 and the 12 this time ('I'm pretty sure the 12 was too big , but checked and that's what I had last time anyway).
I also ordered the Paradise T in pink..

Laska2Meryls · 07/08/2019 19:33

noodle yes do come and join us ! The wellbeing thread is here

Laska2Meryls · 07/08/2019 19:54

I am so in love with the latest Playmobil Summer Holiday Thread JIC any of you haven't seen it. (there have been a few of these ..all in MN classics..)

noodlezoodle · 07/08/2019 19:54

Fab, thank you Laska!

neveradullmoment99 · 07/08/2019 20:44

The skirt looks great on you @laska. Really nice. You also have the black one? Its a good length.

Laska2Meryls · 07/08/2019 20:58

Yes , also because it elasticated you can alter the length to wear on hips if you want .. If I'm wearing it out to (for example) the local market in Greece, I tend to wear it longer. This is on the a waist and its about 3/4 in above the knee on me , waist to hem about 17in and its very slightly longer at the back ,18in

NotAnActualSheep · 07/08/2019 21:52

Fab skirt laska - it is such a nice print, though I agree, probably a difficult colour to match. I like the olive/ khaki with it like you have. Such a nice change to shorts. I was tempted by the shirt too, as a cover up, but I do have lots of checked shirts... It is a great pattern though, and will work going into autumn too as never says.

soy lovely dress! And I'm really looking forward to seeing how you get on with the yasmin! The print couldn't get more "you"...

never - hope you're OK. Your comment about 3 steps back sounds like you're frustrated by something. Have some Flowers.

soups glad you're having a good holiday! Buy the sandals, buy the sandals... I'm a bit like that with the sale... Thought I couldn't possibly need or want anything else, and then a 10% offer comes along and I'm "oh, yes, that's what I really want". I need help. Buy the sandals... . Would like to know how you get on with the carly jumpsuit and the bias dress. I loved a bit of bias cut in the 90s, but that was when I had a flat(ish) tum and I'm a bit scared of it now. Though if it's well cut I think it can be v flattering. Buy the sandals, buy the sandals...

noodle - that maxi skirt is so pretty, and the sack dress is lovely. Looks really cool and wafty, and that makes up for a lot, in my view. Sometimes elegant tailoring just doesn't cut it. I have also ordered an m and s cotton tiered maxi which isn't much less sack-like, on the strength of another thread a couple of weeks ago, where the OP was revelling in her non-caring about style, cos she was cool and not sticky. Though, to be fair, although it's still quite warm here, I'm pretty sure the weather for floaty cotton maxi dresses has passed.

Hello to everyone else too. Was wondering earlier how nink and justi are - haven't 'seen' you for a bit... Hope you're both OK!!

twosoups1972 · 07/08/2019 23:13

@NotAnActualSheep you are very naughty Grin

dontcallmelen · 07/08/2019 23:15

Good buys @melen. Love the stripe dress.
Strangely enough I have never ordered from H&M online but I ordered a plain white shirt from them at £12.99. Its pretty good for the price and came today. Quite pleased with it.

neveradullmoment99 · 07/08/2019 23:40

@not, I am frequently frustrated!
