Mumsnet Vogue Vol 89 - Must try harder **Edited at the OP's request**

[shopafrolic]

SO the last 'edition' took over a year to complete. Must try harder Voguettes. Despite the fact that we are still in lockdown, and rarely out of loungewear, there is still inspiration to be found. Spring is springing, brighter days are on the horizon and homeschooling CANNOT last forever (not if miniShop wants to live anyway).
So join us for style & beauty chat, and other inspiration as we navigate our way as stylishly as possible through lockdown 3.

Just catching up on the thread.
Congrats on the baby news Blair!
I’ve haven’t bought too many clothes lately (I don’t think 🤔). However, I did buy this Gucci bag 😍

Thank you @Ellewoods20 @LoveFromDeauville and @limesoda! :)

Just done a big & Other Stories order. 2 sized up boxy t-shirts, 2 cardigans and
This dress for my 2 weddings (sized up!)
and
This hairband possibly to go with the dress if it's a keeper. I won't be wearing heels as I'm scared of triggering my SPD, so feel like I need an extra accessory, especially as the dress is cotton.

Ellewoods20 that's a big bag purchase! Very nice!

LovefromDeauville what did you get at Tory Burch?

How is everyone?

Lovely dress @BlairWaldorfLovesShopping.

@Ellewoods20 fabulous bag. Enjoy wearing it.

@maradesbois welcome back.

All quiet here on the fashion front. No new purchases from me.

Gorgeous dress Blair and bag @Ellewoods20.

I haven't bought anything either recently. I don't really know what I want or need. We're being told we have to start going into work at least 2 days a week after the summer so will need to think about work wardrobe again. Then again, I feel like I've got loads of clothes that I've barely worn over the last year and a half so maybe I don't need anything.

Also waiting to see what will happen about the summer to decide if I need a new bikini (Greece) or one of those towel beach changing gowns (UK)!

Hello!!! Huge waves to everyone, especially @maradesbois as I think of you every time I wear one of my floral tops.

So for various personal reasons, I now need to be in the office 3 days a week but they're not the days that others are going in, so I have pretty much ended up full time back in the office over the last month. So fashion wise it's really weird. I normally wear dresses to the office but they feel too formal for the current circumstances (everyone is really dressed down!) so I have taken to wearing the floral tops I had only ever meant to wear on zoom days with a blazer, trousers and espadrilles. Most of my trousers felt too tight as I bit the bullet last week and popped into M&S and got these slim fit trousers. They are amazing. They feel amazing, look amazing, just love them. So there you go...my last buys before this were Burberry and Gucci, straight from that to good old Marks and Sparks

Hope everyone is having a chilled weekend!

I currently have a house full of teens and dh watching the England v Denmark match. It's very tense in there and I pop in every so often to top up the snacks.

@CarolineBingley I can't imagine you wearing Espadrilles to work I bet it'l take some time to get used to casual dress for the office. I like those trousers and will need to buy some new ones when I go back to my place of work in September.

Funnily enough I've just done an M&S order - a pair of Mom and a Boyfriend jeans. I was determined not to buy skinny ones.

It's gone to extra time - Come on England!

Hello everyone, coming down from the highs of last night (and the stress!!) And looking forward to the weekend. Am very much missing the sunshine and wearing floaty dresses, I've mainly been in jeans this week - old Boyfriends that are finally properly baggy now I've lost weight! Camping this weekend (in the rain 😬) so will be sticking to warmth.

But in style news, I did just get my ears repierced - well "stretched" - as they had closed up. I haven't worn earrings for about 10 years and my jewellery was stolen during that time so I literally only have the studs I got pierced with. So hit me with some earring recommendations ladies - I'll need some basics, big & fun ones please!

Hey all, it’s ridiculously early and I’m awake and can’t get back to sleep so am going to look at nice stuff…
It must be weird for you all going back into offices after do long at home. I’m really worried what the next month will bring until you no longer need to isolate as we are in dire straights at work with so many people off. Double jabbed is certainly not stopping people getting it and although they’re not seriously unwell they’re feeling pretty rough.
stokey I really like Oliver bonas earrings but it might not be your style. If you wanted to spend more astley Clarke do some lovely ones too.

Hello lovely voguettes

How is everyone?

I’m looking for a dress for my birthday celebration next week and kind of need to get into gear

Can any of you lovely lot say what you think of this

EYWASOULS MALIBU NaP dress

Not sure why but it’s forcing caps on me

Is it too much material? Wondering if a belt would work

Mara fabulous to see you back xx

Ps I’m quite tall for those who don’t know me so hopefully right length

Blonde with slightly messy shoulder hair for full concept ;

Orange is generally a good colour but not really worn a really full on maxi

Whilst searching I saw these red Mary Jane on sale and thought of QueenC

Matches Comme des Garcon

Oh my goodness scrolling back

Congratulations Blair! I’m so happy for you!

Christmas Day too what a lovely present to be. We had dd on NYE it’s nice!

So pleased for you and MrBlair

Hi Marsha lovely to "see" you. I love the dress but not sure if it's very you? I think of you as having a more structured look. What about this Rixo?

What's the event going to be?

Hey Stokey! It’s poolside at a club, can’t wait!! Weather looks great and we’re doing it a few times Dh has week off, on day and others too. Perfect luck weather is great, never can guarantee it.

I’ve ordered it and a Rixo one - different but good call. And a pile of other stuff it has been a while need a refresh! Will link tomorrow

@MarshaBradyo great dress. Love orange and white together. I’ve gone mad in the sales but mostly ski gear as our season in the Southern Hemisphere is just getting started. But some other things I have put away for summer too.

I need to have a good clear out, my work clothes are very different now. It’s so much more casual in the office than pre 2020. I can’t believe the effort I used to make to get to work, in full dressed up attire, five days a week.

@MarshaBradyo I love the dress for you! You're tall enough to pull it off and it sounds perfect for poolside. Anything from Rixo is also lovely. I'm still gutted about not being able to wear my Rixo dress this year.
(And thank you... I'm hoping not Christmas Day, as my sister is Boxing Day and my niece Christmas Eve! Don't need any more! )

Thanks Stokey and Apple!

Waiting for box to arrive

Going to be a busy time for your family Stokey

Sugar I mean Blair sorry!!

Dd around my feet just then

Marsho I think that dress would be perfect!
I’m currently looking for some new outfits for a university placement in September. I need some oufits that are suitable to wear in a school if anyone wants to help? I’m 5f2 with ginger hair. I wear pretty much any colour but red and orange. I don’t want to get stuck in a rut of just wearing black outfits as chic as they are.

Ooh exciting Elle

I forgot to do my blurb earlier but I meant to introduce myself better. I do creative type stuff - either in an agency or produce at home / had a commission last year for US. Trying to get mojo back after this hideous creative squashing pandemic.

I’ll think of good stuff - Can you say what kind of course?

Oh ignore me in a school I think you mean?

Losing it. Ok will think

Do you have any favourite brands?
