Mumsnet Vogue Vol 87......it’s the Autumn/Winter count down to Christmas [grin]

[DryWhiteagainW]

So, Marsha has bought her blanket/huge scarf. She’s ready. It’s nearly time to get the boots and woollens out.......over here for friendly fashion chat and more.

LOVE the Grensons shop. So pleased they suit you.

I haven't had ballet flats in years but I do like them, much better for me than pointy flats.

Re the thread I was just thinking the other day that ages ago, back about thread 3 or 4 it almost died and was pretty much me, shop and Marsha linking knitwear!!

Thanks so much to those who sent PM's and support on here. I'm too tired to reply today but your kindness means a lot.

The Grensons are perfect x

The Etre Cecile knit is nice too

Haha Lib we’ve had some lean times so pleased everyone’s still posting

Also hang in there we’re to lend hugs and distract as much as we can

That sounds nice MrC you sound relaxed.

Dh went back to work today he’s fine with it once out the door

Looked through the Globes link not much I like, all a bit wacky

I like these two but they’re very safe

@MrCollins im a size 3. Never thought about R&B childrens pumps! are they the same shape as adult ones?

Great Shop they really suit you xxx

I’m really feeling midi skirts/ dresses with knee boots. Love this look. I feel very me in it. Great for work and flattering.

Helen Mirren looked awesome and I thought Jodie Comer looked fab (strange shape but edgy and great colour).

Some fab Iris and Ink on the OUTNET, I could buy loads of that stuff, love the designs.

And some fab dresses by Mikael Aghal.... ever heard of that designer, great stuff.
How come I can’t link from the O?

Oh my gawd!

That was for J Lo

J Lo and Sienna Miller were my least fave

And Kerri Washington’s was odd too

Wasn't overly impressed with Salma Hayek's after party dress. A bit unnecessary me thinks.

Off to Google

Random question of the day - how do you decide that knitwear is past its best? Obviously holes, excessive pilling, but I have a few sweaters that aren't as soft as they used to be, but nothing else wrong with them. Perhaps I'm just washing them wrongly?
Also, does anyone else find that cotton sweaters shorten in the arms with wear? Not washing, but wear. I put them on and they seem fine, but as the day goes on the arms shorten? Or am I going bonkers?

Oh and on the GG I thought Charlize Theron looked as though she'd had a Judy Finnegan moment.

These were my 3 favourite outfits from the GG with Phoebe WB trouser suit a very close 4th. Will check out the after party frock in a moment

Yes you’re definitely going bonkers Shop - my linen or cotton knit get bigger with wear but maybe it’s me! Love the boots.

Maybe we should resurrect ootd? I’ll start: black pleated midi skirt, black knee length boots, both Next, orange high neck jumper, Boden, chunky silver bangle and grey Kate spade bag

Yes they’re nice too MrsM including good colours

I’m in pinkish acne jumper, indigo rag & bone skinnies and new Legres boots which I love. So pleased I got them. And Maison M pea coat.

I feel like I should wear my other coats, do you all stick to one over others more?

Shop not sure! haven’t thought about it

I’m wearing leopard print mint velvet blouse with a primark nude cami underneath as the blouse is a little see through, dark blue mv skinny jeans. Hermes brown belt. Just walked the dogs so wore some cheap primark boots which I keep for getting muddy, going for coffee later and will wear my new black boots.

@MarshaBradyo yes I nearly always wear my dog walking coat as it’s the only one I keep in the under stairs cupboard. Drives me nuts as it’s pretty scruffy!

Jennifer Aniston's dress was definitely my favourite of the GG night.

@Karcheer yes, the shape is the same. I was given this tip a few years ago when the Charming was around £130. The price of the children's version has stayed roughly the same, but the price of the adult version keeps increasing.

Shop, I am quite anal about how my jumpers are cleaned. Cashmere is always dry cleaned. I typically wear an M&E tee underneath my cashmere so skin contact is quite minimal. Wool is washed only with other wool things, so not the general wash. And I use the towel method to and then lay flat to dry. Cotton sweaters, i put on a hanger and then then either put them in airing cupboard or put on the air dryer. Do you do the same?

Today is definitely a dress down day. I am wearing an oversized pink hoodie with black j crew skinnies.

My OOTD (for work) was J Crew charcoal pencil skirt, black woven structured Jaeger tee, black blazer/cape, chunky gold bangle, pale/matte gold GR pumps and Tobacco/brown Marcie bag. Doesn’t sound great written down but I actually felt really good and received some compliments so it can’t have been too bad.

I was inspired by someone I saw yesterday in black cigarette trousers and a pale grey structured knit coat. She had a black and white thing striped knit polo neck under the coat and a camel bag. Black stilettos. The black/grey and camel looked really good on her....classic chic but not at all boring/frumpy.

*thin not thing!
