[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.

Hi, have been awol but just wanted to send to Shop for this emotional day.

Sending and to Shop You're so brave.

Thank you for all baby wishes. Still on holiday for another week then hot footing up to see the baby. She is beautiful.

Sorry for not commenting on any other posts. Can't follow on my phone, much prefer looking on my laptop.

I want to buy DIL a gift for her specifically not the baby. Any ideas please. Budget around £100.

these are lovely basic jumpers in nice colours

stunning rich colour in velvet.....obv not for me

Hey all, hugs to you all.
marsha hope all went well
dream congrats
shop I’ve been thinking of you today

To whoever asked about jeans I’m sticking to skinnies. They go with all my tops and I haven’t found another style of jean that I feel as good in and not like a throwback to my younger self.

I am desperate to put more colour in my wardrobe but it’s all browns/yellows/greens/autumnal colours in the shops . I want cobalt, emerald and red! Even I am getting a little bored of navy .

Same here, been thinking of Shop and Marsha.

Currently on the floor by poor ds bed. Late night birthday party and he's overwhelmed.

I have a mix of skinnies and bootcut jeans. I am going to the US and will definitely head to j crew to top up. My favourite j crew skinnies now look fashionably slashed through wear and tear

Morning all, I had a horrible accident last night. our stair carpets need changing and have been waiting till last bit of work done in house before I change. They were already threadbare when we moved in a few years ago. Anyway I slipped on then last night and fell backwards and banged my head and my hip. Was so awful, I was crying in agony and went into shock. Thank goodness dh was home. Feeling better now, thankfully no concussion but lying in bed this morning with hurting hips.

Anyway on a fashion front, I wore this French Connection fit and flare dress to work on Thursday. I bought it ages ago and it was cheap but oh mu goodness it looked great on. I loved it so much that I wish it hadn't been hiding in the wardrobe! I wore this Ted Baker skater dress on Thursday. It's been one of my go to dresses of this year. I actually bought it 2 years ago but it didn't fit. Kept it anyway and then when u lost weight and needed to wear black, it's became a staple.

Oh no blingy that sounds really sore . Hope you feel better soon.

I need to read back and comment properly on links. I'm sick again ( sinus infection) and really tired so will do that tomorrow.

Mostly popped in to say my Rains raincoat has arrived and I love it.

Oh no Lib Saline nasal spray is your friend and will get rid of it in 48 hours. Sterimar is the best.

I am soooo glad about your Rains coat. Phew! For where you are, a good raincoat is a must😀 how much were the delivery charges?

It was 14euro delivery. No taxes or duty applied. Good news all around!

Oh my gosh Bling that fall sounds nasty. Any dizziness today get yourself checked out. And poor ds too bless him, sometimes it all gets a bit too much doesn't it.

Lib sorry to hear you're not feeling too great but glad you like your rain coat despite the expensive delivery

Queen are you ready to ditch the navy shirt? I've broken my skinnies rule already wore a pair with my Toga Pullas so happy to be back in my a/w comfort zone.

Shop was thinking about you yesterday

Is it just me, or is everyone finding the stuff in the shops a bit uninspiring?

Kitty, no dizziness but my back is so bruised. Poor ds, very emotional again last night, this time about about something else. But then again this morning he was very happy.

Dry, I think this might be an autumn/winter of shopping from the existing wardrobe. I haven't had an "I must get" that lust moment although I am thinking of getting a Ted Baker dress that was around last season that i quite like, and an M&S work dress which is more functional than anything else. Then there are 2 pairs of earrings and the YSL Loulou bag that i have wanted for about a year. Just added that up and that's about £5.5k. Okay so other than these things, I am shopping from the wardrobe!!.

I heard back. All fine. So relieved!! Gosh

Blingy ah that’s horrible . I fell down some steps with dd in my arms I felt so winded couldn’t get up, tg she was ok, protective fall! I hope you’re feeling better.

AW accessories trends

So pleased to read that Marsha YAY!!!

Marsha yay so happy it's good news! :)

Poor you Blingy that sounds so painful, have you been checked out or do you think it is just bruising?

Shop fab link, hope you are doing ok

Dry absolutely, I haven't really bought anything this season yet. I did get some small gold hoops from Astley Clarke which I've worn every day since they arrived, they go with everything! But no clothes.

Glad it's positive news Marsha and hope you are doing ok Blingy and Shop.
I quite fancy some knee length boots having spent the last few winters in ankle boots. I need slim fit though otherwise they look like wellies!
If anyone had seen any nice ones please let me know.

Great news Marsha. Hope everything went ok on Saturday Shop. Owwww Blingy, just the sort of thing I would do.

Liked the Vogue link Shop, although the only trends from there I would rock are the boots, chunky & snakeskin.

The only jeans I've been wearing are some old black ones that I cut the bottoms off so they end just above the ankle bone. Otherwise I've been in dungarees.

Am also loving midis. Just did a Uniqlo shop and picked up this Ines wrap dress and some surprisingly good work wide black trousers.

Oh and keep seeing mums in the playground wearing my green Zara dress. Is it the next polkadot dress?

Ha ha kitty, no I’m not ditching the navy but am happy to add colour! Navy will still be my main colour
dry lots of uninspiring stuff. Basically because there’s not really any new styles it’s actually hard to find something better than you already own.

Marsha that's great news.

Queen/Dry you're right. Nothing out there is exciting me at the moment and I'm quite happy to wear my same a/w wardrobe although I do want to add more blouses and skirts this winter.

Well that’s a relief Marsha ...glad to have you back.
And Shop good to see you too. The spot Zara dress is lovely but seen it everywhere, and copies too. Haven’t seen a lot of your green one.....yet.
Blair can you link your earrings? (Desperate to buy something!) I’m so boring with mine.
