Picking up from here

Kitty dresses look good
Don’t forget waterproof mascara and tissues, and collection money if in a church. I also took hand warmers for my coat pockets.

Dresses from Whistles look good kitty.

Marsha when we were renovating this house I was horrified at what we had to spend on invisible stuff like plumbing and wiring. But think of the loss of visible stuff if anything goes wrong with it like your carpets and rugs if you have a bad leak.

T-shirts are so hard to buy. I recently had to throw out some old Jigsaw ones that I really loved - perfect shape, soft thin cotton that feels nice and is tightly woven enough not to be sheer. Hard. To. Find.

One your post reminded me how much I miss TK Maxx. Nice to have to back on here.

True Lib the pipes are fine atm and when we get round to extension they all have to be moved. Nightmare.

I haven’t worn makeup for so longer and I’ve just discovered my favourite foundation (Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation 😂) has changed its formula and people hate it. Have run out. Argh it was so good, barely there. Does anyone love what they use? Dammit will have to go into town for try on. Recommendations welcome.

MarshaBradyo · 11/01/2020 21:13

Kitty lovely dresses. For a sad occasion Sad I like the second of the two black slightly more, both good though.

shopafrolic · 11/01/2020 21:23

this is next on my list to try Marsha Not sure if you like dewy or matte though?
I’m currently using the Dior one, comes in both finishes so you could choose....

shopafrolic · 11/01/2020 21:24

this is the glow or there is a forever matte version too.

MarshaBradyo · 11/01/2020 21:25

Yep that looks lush Shop! Will definitely try that

MarshaBradyo · 11/01/2020 21:26

And the Dior
Thanks

kittyhello · 11/01/2020 21:29

I like these tee and the whisper tanks. They keep their shape and don't fade Hush are you listening? I even prepared to pay the tax and p&p these.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 11/01/2020 21:32

Ive got that dior glow in 0N Neutral. i tried the i think it was 1C rosy but it was too dark on me so the neutral ended up a better match. I fade away tot he colour of freshly dropped snow come winter so finding anything pale enough can be problematic but this reallyw orks, will have to see how it comes up in summer though as sometimes i catch a little colour across my cheeks so i might need the 1c rosy then. Couldnt do the matte version as my skin is super dry and it just went all patchy on me

thanks lib

Oh, so tonight I went to a wedding evening do. One of my gym trainers was the bride. But what was fantastic was seeing all of these people I’ve been working out next to in their glad rags, so many years and suddenly we meet out of the gym and it “oh my god, you look amazing”. But a funny thing is that the women all know stuff about each other , the men know nothing....so, typical me......it was 20 questions if you’re a man. I learnt a lot and have somehow become gym social sec!!!!!

DryWhiteagainW · 11/01/2020 23:32

And I wore this dress, longer on me not high end or anything but very flattering although I had to keep away from live flames....

“London line”????? Meant long line

MarshaBradyo · 12/01/2020 10:35

Nice Dry

I just saw a Matches it NaP pic saying modelled on 80s. I feel like we’re going to be stuck swinging between previous decades now. Still looks good and fresh but 70s and 80s crop up a lot.

Applefairy · 12/01/2020 12:16

Your outfits sound nice. I have a lot of navy and black J Crew tees bought on sale over the years.

I wore a navy v neck one today with distressed faded slim leg jeans and orange and navy cotton scarf (my mother’s from the seventies) and orange cardigan. White common projects trainers (great CPW) and navy demi-lune APC bag.

I love navy and orange together!

westr · 12/01/2020 17:57

I absolutely love that z&v outfit posted above

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 12/01/2020 18:06
