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.

I’d love a shirt dress for work

3 and a half grand for a bin bag

wow!!!

@DryWhiteagainW

3 and a half grand for a bin bag

Ha that really does bring that old saying to life!

If you search “high heeled shoes” on NAP there are only 5 pairs ......it’s not the end is it?

I didn’t think so but haven’t looked!

I really like those dresses

Search stiletto

That bin bag dress is insane 😂

these shorts are on my wish list

there you all are!! i kept looking and couldnt find you all and now here you are!!

it will be no surprise to anyoen that all the shopping ive done over the lockdowns has been dr marten boots and all black clothing i dont change!!!

cant wait for lock down to end, im just throughly fed up and stressed at every day being the same. hoping im on the list for my vaccine soon, people with similar health to mine are starting to be done now so im figuring i must be soon!

My Sleeks arrived yesterday and they are keepers. Thank you again Kitty for the link. Waiting for the Veja to come this week. They are my only buy since I can't remember when! Lockdown has made me take a hard look at what's in my wardrobe & sadly a lot of it is not relevant to my lifestyle (or doesn't fit). I've started filling up the charity shop bags but will hang onto the bags for a while and do another look through before saying goodbe for good.

Lockdown weight is on the move, I'm following the low carb bootcamb plan on here & loving it. The main change I think is not drinking alcohol. ( haven't had a drink for 4 weeks)

Dry I really like that shirt dress.

Queen I see lots of younger people wearing those heavily logo embellished shorts & sweatshirts arund here. It's February & cold.

one you can't go wrong with either Dr Martins or black clothing.

You can always trust NAP to have the usual mix of lust worthy items and then a latex dress that comes with a cleaning kit, even in a pandemic!

Hello One how's things? I'm guessing you are in group 6, so is my DH and he had to ring up the GP surgery to get his appointment as they are about to move onto group 7 and he hadn't been contacted! So don't just wait if it gets to the point you think you have been missed. I know it depends a lot on area though.

Today I am wearing my Mango faux leather joggers and they have got a hole in one of the seams across the thighs Need to get out my sewing kit. Wearing with grey sweatshirt and Stan Smiths. And a chunky watch, as mine needs a new battery so I borrowed one of DH's!

Your NaP comment made me @BlairWaldorfLovesShopping I like the sound of your outfit - especially the borrowed watch.
My bracelet arrived from Tilly’s Veas and I love it.
Love chain links and so heavy. Makes me smile
@Dreamqueen well done on the no booze - 4 weeks during lockdown is a great achievement!
@DryWhiteagainW that Altuzarra shirt dress would be perfect on you

Wow I love the bracelet @shopafrolic! There's something so satisfying about heavy things on wrists, I find.
Having said that, I got a bracelet at Christmas which is just a bezel set diamond on a thin cord. It was to replace one which I'd been wearing ever since we went to Mexico last February and were given it at the all inclusive hotel we stayed at (I am a bit sad like that, but it was my first time at such a hotel, and it was a nice bracelet with a thick cord and a wooden plaque). It felt kind of symbolic to wear it as a memory through the pandemic, but then it did get a bit scruffy. Now the new one stays on all the time instead :)

Here's the bracelet - I got the large stone with a brown cord.

I love bracelets like that cord one @BlairWaldorfLovesShopping - I have a few neon ones that I usually add into the stack when the sun starts shining.
My new Scamp & Dude bright blue hoodie arrived - it’s super cosy and nice to wear some colour. Still on the hunt for a neon pink sweatshirt though so keep your eyes peeled please Voguettes.

I should add @BlairWaldorfLovesShopping that my cord bracelets don’t have diamonds in unfortunately

Glad you like the trainers @Dreamqueen mine arrived yesterday too. I like the gold tips on the laces. Well done on the weight loss btw.

My first attempt at gel nails. Loving the kit. It's the one that Blair and MrsM recommended.

Ooo nice nails @Dreamqueen, lovely colour. I still find it a bit awkward doing my right hand with my left & get varying results!

@BlairWaldorfLovesShopping & @shopafrolic love both those very different bracelets. My borrowed item when I got married was identical to yours Shop but in gold - was my Grandmothers, now dm’s.

Trainers ordered Monday, delivered Tuesday and on my feet (wearing in)today. I went for Air & Grace Roxy in the end. Very happy thus far.

Am wearing with spotty black ankle socks, Next bf jeans, uniqlo heat tech polo and whistles cactus s/s

@MrsM your outfit sonuds lovely and very you. I like those Air & Grace trainers. My veja arrived today & I'm thinking I might swop them. I ordered my usual size but they feel a bit big in both lenght and width. Will try them on again tomorrow with appropriate socks.

Forgot to say Shop & Blair love the bracelets.

mrsm we can be shoe twins!
blair love the bracelet
dream love the nails.
I have a week off work now so may paint mine

Nails look fab @Dreamqueen
The R&B sandals that were in ST Style arrived today. Knottie sandals Super soft and so comfy, I’ve had to send them back and size up though so if you’re between sizes I’d recommend going up a size.

Shop love those sandals. They look on trend and comfy, a win win.

Great sandals shop.

Other stories blouse arrived and I think it’s a keeper. I just need to get out of leggings and try it on with jeans!!

@shopafrolic, chic sandals - they remind me of the pouch bag aesthetic (soft ruched leather etc).

Impressive nails @Dreamqueen.

@shopafrolic and @BlairWaldorfLovesShopping both gorgeous bracelets.

@DryWhiteagainW love that shirt dress. I live in them for work days now. Still not back in the office but I’ve weaned myself of joggers/leggings for WFH and now dressing with more purpose. But no way would I don a pencil skirt, silk blouse and jacket to sit at a desk at home or just do a school run!

I picked up a Joseph very plain black cotton poplin shirt dress - will find and link.

Also, I have bag news.....it’s arriving tomorrow. Sometimes you see something that is so very ‘you’ you know it is going to be a life long treasure. This is a bag that is early 60s looking (or earlier) and I love that fashion era. Also short shoulder strap (suits me as I am short). Plain with no obvious logo. Gold hardware. Black (although the red and tan are both gorgeous - but the shop I bought it from with a code only had black). Not too big and not too small. I’ll post photos when it arrives ....
