This dress which I'm really now not sure about :/

Karcheer · 03/12/2019 11:38

This dress which will be a maxi on me.

Karcheer · 03/12/2019 11:41

and this jumpsuit - not sure how long the legs will be on me.

I think I'm turning into Bet Lynch...

MarshaBradyo · 03/12/2019 18:10

Good shopping Karcheer will be interested in ti

MarshaBradyo · 03/12/2019 18:11

In your verdict

shopafrolic · 04/12/2019 07:22

Gorgeous blouse in particular Karcheer I never wear print so I have no idea about the rest Grin
Off to see Sleep today. Am wearing leather skinnies, Z&V rock & roll sweater, Z&V trainers in her honour. :)

libertyonhertravels · 04/12/2019 09:44

Outfit sounds fab shop and totally you.

Karcher I love the blouse and the gunmetal MK dress.

shopafrolic · 04/12/2019 20:13

It was so lovely to catch up with Sleep and after a dog wAlk and a lovely lunch we went for coffee opposite our second ever MNV MU venue (where we first met Lib). Such great memories.

Karcheer · 05/12/2019 17:15

Evening everyone,

Ok the verdict on my haul...
I think I’m keeping the green dress, it’s a bit different and although I’ll probably only wear it this winter, it’s a bit of fun...

I’m keeping the blouse, it’s lovely.

I might keep the MK maxi, I like it (although not sure what shoes to wear with it? Help..) but my husband doesn’t like it, he said it was unflattering, dull colour, maxi dresses are for summer etc... now I’m not sure, I liked the big swirly skirt and felt I was looking at a different dress to me, but then he does prefer short tight fitting dresses 🙄

The rest weren’t great.

shopafrolic · 07/12/2019 19:18

Oh I did love that blouse Karcheer so glad it’s a keeper.
Watching Strictly and loving Claudias suit (not the shoes though).
I’ve ordered a couple of bits from WarChild - a tee and a sweatshirt which I’ve put on Pin but no other fashion stuff to report.
I’m in full on Christmas shopping mode instead. Nearly finished thank God.

Blingysolightly · 07/12/2019 21:42

You and Lib are making me panicShock

I just can't get into this Christmas. Not really looking forward to it this year as I am just not in the mood and so I haven't started shopping yetHmm I am really trying to get into the Christmas spirit though! Am lying on sofa wearing White Company velvet lounge pants and a pink Christmas sweater! I am wearing these Be Boodles earrings Importantly, I am matching the hues of the Christmas sweater by wearing this Swarovski ring. Very Christmas look for a Saturday night at home.Grin

shopafrolic · 07/12/2019 21:54

I have that ring but in white Blingy
I wore it in the evening on my wedding day 🙂

Blingysolightly · 07/12/2019 22:27

Ooh bet that looked fab Shop! It's such a great ring. Is yours this one? I have it in 4 different coloursBlush the purple one, black, multi coloured and the one linked in this post -clear/white?

shopafrolic · 07/12/2019 22:55

Similar but mine has a few more solid white stones in as well as the diamanté’s

shopafrolic · 07/12/2019 22:55

I love it - still wear it regularly

shopafrolic · 07/12/2019 22:58

Here you go

Blingysolightly · 07/12/2019 23:03

Now why didn't I think of an evening ring?! You and the duchess of Sussex way ahead of me as usualGrin

Wearing it today has reminded me how much I love wearing it. I now permanently wear a ring on my right hand and this one looks good next to it. When I get round to it, I might chose my Christmas Day outfit based just on this ring.Grin

Blingysolightly · 07/12/2019 23:04

Swoon. Love it.❤️

Karcheer · 08/12/2019 10:40

So last night we went out for my birthday, I ended up not wearing the green dress, didn’t feel right, so I’ll be returning it if I can other wise it’ll be off to the charity shop. I ended up wearing an old all saints tala darwin dress like this, Gina sparkly sandals, these boodles earrings, and my TF Natalia bag, I also wore my Costco children’s faux fur black coat ;)

shopafrolic · 09/12/2019 08:36

Happy Birthday Karcheer, you didn’t sound sure about the dress so best to return.
I saw this amazing outfit on Fearne. LOVE the boots - this outfit was styled by Claudia Winkleman’s stylist which explains why I love it so much.

Happy birthday Karcheer the earrings you wore out are stunning.

Lib not sure where in NZ you are but hope you and your family are all okay.

I'm starting to panic that I haven't bought a single present yet - arghh.

Blingy hope everything is okay. I couldn't open your links as I'm no longer on Pin and have forgotten my password.

I've bought a few cheap things:

puffer not super stylish but thin, warm and most importantly not bulky. Ideal for casual days when a woollen coat seems too formal.

Late to the party:

heat tech with built in bra I have a few of the camis without the bra but these are so much better.

I ordered a pink lambswool jumper from Uniqlo but the sizing is all wrong, far too boxy and the sleeves are too long - it's going back.

DryWhiteagainW · 09/12/2019 22:19

kitty don’t worry I’m behind too despite being Mrs Christmas. I’m going to blitz it next week.
Happy birthday Karcheer think we may have the same birthday xxxx

Happy belated birthday Karcheer very cool stylish outfit

MarshaBradyo · 11/12/2019 09:19

That should be belated happy birthday shouldn’t it 🙈

Maybe

libertyonhertravels · 12/12/2019 19:38

kitty we're all good thanks. We're a long way away from the volcano. NZ has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2019 sadly.

Happy birthday to Karcher and dry.

My last day at work today until 6th January Xmas Smile
