MNV Vol 88 - start of a new roaring 20's??

[libertyonhertravels]

New year, new decade, new thread. Come join us for friendly fashion chat, you can agonise over the right length to wear your jeans or deliberate the exact tone of lippy. A frivolous space in tricky times. All welcome.

Picking up from here

Oh wow Everyone, I love love love those shorts. I am Seriously tempted!

Caroline I feel as though I have to step up my game for the new school. We had miniShop's party today. A mix of old school friends and new. No wars so I am relieved. But yes to rarified space. It's a whole new world.

Obsessed with this look. Where can I get socks / tights like this?!

shop see if you can find a UK stockist of Celeste Stein trouser socks. Very popular in my part of NZ. All sorts of wierd and wonderful designs to fill that gap between boot and jeans

Google is too clever for its own good. I've tried hunting for a UK site selling them but keep getting 'we don't deliver to NZ' messages so can't search properly for you. Lots of the links I did find only show a few designs but they have loads so worth hunting down. It's an American brand.

You could try sock shop. Not sure if they'd be long enough though if you were wearing high boots.

But they do some knee highs too.

Welcome Merlin. It seems we may have killed the thread with our pop sock links

May I take the opportunity to point out that shop started it?

I’m still in shock from the Celeste Stein site Lib

DH bought me some for Christmas. Utterly by bonkers but strangely appealing.

Nope Lib JUST NO

for Dry

Liberty love those socks.

I think that you're either a sock person or your not. . I love this site too misssparrow.com

If the thread crashes again ... sorry not sorry.

Merlin I have some bamboo socks from Miss Sparrow - they're lovely to wear.

Shop did you find any socks/tights with stars? There's a pair of tights on Amazon. I've picked up patterned anklets from TK Maxx from time to time so maybe worth a look.

Lib very disappointed I don't seem to be able to open your sock link however, your yellow socks are fabulous.

I'm having a frugal February which of course means I'll see absolutely loads of clothes, shoes, bags that I love! This no spend includes skin care and and makeup 😭as I have enough to last months! Oh and spurious cups of take out coffee and bars of luxury chocolate kill me now.

I did manage to squeeze in a bag purchase at the eleventh hour - a tote from Zara - needed one for a particular purpose but didn't want to spend ££ as trying to use smaller bags.

Forgot the bag link so here’s a picture instead - yes I know it’s a boring black bag but that’s all I’ve got atm!

Lovely bag MrsM.

Shop those are perfect boots for dry and I think
these Rupert Sanderson boots would be perfect for me (though I would probably change the laces). Sold out in my size which is annoying.

I've ordered a really gorgeous sea green floral print dress from Zara which isn't on the website now (I promise I won't wear it with the mustard socks )

Merlin socks aside - tell us a bit more about your style

Lib did you sort your pigmentation issue? We were on a thread about it a couple of years ago? Am wondering what to try next - have discounted any of the micro needling etc as too invasive and painful

Marvellous have you ever tried microdermabrasion?

I’m stuck in some sort of Kafkaesque nightmare only to do with pipes, plumbers, drains specialists and scaffolders. I can’t even...

Dh is in meetings so I have to unload my pain on here instead of texting him every 5 mins

Good boots Lib shame they’re sold out

Good last minute purchase MrsM

Oh no Marsha. I feel your pain.

MrsM no I haven't solved the pigmentation. Just trying to prevent it getting worse with lots of sunscreen and covering it up with CC cream etc. I'm debating some laser treatment but nervous about the fact that it makes skin more sun sensitive so I worry it would just be worse in the long run.

Shop I love those boots.

I’ve been coveting these for a while now

Are you going to get them dry?

Not sure, trying to be good
