Good morning
I think I've mentioned that my 20mo dd isn't a great sleeper. Well, for the first time ever she slept from 7:30 - 6:30 and I am the happiest mummy in the whole wide world. I am so pleased and know it might not happen every night but she can do it & we've had a lovely morning so far. Means dp has also forgiven me for "starving" her at night by denying her the 3 bottles he wanted to give her every night.
After spending hours on line looking for two tops yesterday and a trip out shopping I decided to shop in my wardrobe (or loft) and found two tops I forgot I had. Found a pre pg black wool tunic from Nicole Farhi I never used to wear because it was too big but now fits perfectly to wear over skinnies. It feels so nice on and is much, much better than anything I'd have bought last minute on the high street. I also found a grey silk Max Mara weekend top that wasn't smart enough for work so still had the label on . Looks perfect with a l/sleeve tee underneath with my Marthas. So I am happy and didn't spend a penny. Well, not entirely true (I bought a frilly umbrella!) but very proud of myself. I feel a bit looking through the two wardrobes of my prepg clothes in the loft - so many expensive things with their labels still on. I must've had money to burn and a big gap in my life to fill with random purchases. Ebay here I come!
LTEC Do you know Bullfrogs in Greenwich? They had a white tank top in. I only saw it on the way out but it looked quite nice and simple with thick straps. They had it in magenta pink as well.
Off dancing now then to mum's for dinner tonight so we're all ready to get up at the crack of dawn to travel to Paris. I'm so excited. The City Walks box came this morning LTEC and I love it. I wouldn't have ordered it without your recommendation. Thank you.
I've packed a "capsule" wardrobe which is a combination of comfort and nice clothes. I'm pleased with my obsessive work as I've found 3 new outfits in my own wardrobe partly with the help of this thread and reading others' outfits and thinking "I've got something like that"
Asos stuff - I did wonder what the quality would be like and am glad I waited to order. I have a feeling the quality will really show with nude colours and it might be best to spend a bit more? I'm very interested in everyone's nude purchases.
I have black Hunters. I bought them for our Steiner forest group not realising it would be a brand free zone and felt very in them. They're molto fashionable in Italy atm which made me laugh - seeing tens of chic Italian women wandering around designer shops in the middle of a city in Hunters.
Right, off to charge the mini tv and wrap up some little pressies for dd to keep her entertained on our travels.
