Here we are in our 505 and Hasbeens still waiting for spring, and still shopping wisely!

Following on from here

Surely the sun will be out by the end of this thread?

I bought this today. I told dp that it was Vivienne Westwood and then waited for his face to go grey before I told him the truth. It is v nice on.

Nice top, Janeite, what are you going to wear it with? I look longingly at anything sleeveless, there is no way I could wear it, I am too white and too cold. Even in summer i wear layers!

Verity - I will layer it, unless I am on holiday! I want to wear it with a pencil skirt and a fitted cardigan, I think.

Since I do not know what 505s or Hasbeens are, I am almost certainly on the wrong thread.

Dodgy ozzie pubs, shock horror! Must google!

Off to collect ds1 from a sleepover, he changed his mind and wants to come home. I much prefer having him under the same roof as me, so don't mind

See you tomorrow

MM - will be thinking of you t/m....what a beautiful way to commemorate your DD.

I am sooo bored of my winter clothes, the are starting to look so drab
I have some lovley red and navy bits that I want to get on, and kick off my boots

I to havve no idea what hasbeens are? I suspect I am one..

aaahhh yes the clogs.
I still have mine from 18 yrs ago, i love my clogs

what is a 505
you lot are just shopping a lot
the wisely thing is crap sint it

ha ha here SFD...loved and hated in equal measure by the ladies of the thread (well Tracey and I love them, not sure how LTEC feels, and I think everyone else hates them )

oops x-post SFD - see you've worked it out.

505 is a nail polish...makes you look like someone has punched your nails

Right - must go to bed. See you in the morning.

Oh dear. Since the 'Screw' thread, I have admired Tracey's taste. Now I am not so sure!

oh that putty stuff
old hat
its green again now

I have just ordered navy, nail polish.

I like navy. And grey. And old lady pink. But my nails are so disgusting lately, that I'm not bothering.

Thanks ladies.

Just in from night out at the Thai restaurant - was lovely. All the girls wore casual dresses - so nice not to be in jeans! I had a rice dish that took me back to lunches at The Churchill on Kensington Church St in London if anyone knows it????

Carciofi - thats weird re us living in the same area! We were there from 2002 til 2005. We had an apartment sort of above the lovely shop that sold the Radley handbags/cards/clothes/jewellery. I loved living there (one of the hightlights was Gwynneth Paltrow doing a model shoot on Shad Thames whilst I was on maternity leave - street was closed but I kept leaning over terrace balcony and taking pics and sending them to all my mates! Seems a world away now!) DH got me a trip to London as a b-day pressie and I can't wait to pop back and have a wander around and get all misty eyed'- in between manically shopping of course!

MM - my heart and thoughts with you and your angel tomorrow.

I'm so-so on the Hasbeens. Much prefer these and these

VB love your work, lady - great title!! btw, sold my cosy for £80 so safe to list non-competitively if you're still planning to?

Bicester tomorrow ...

MM - I'll be thinking of you tomorrow

Janeite - I love the hasbeens just waiting for them to be in stock in my size. Pretty top and very Westwood.

Regarding nail varnish I've ordered some of the butter one LTEC recommended - many years ago I used to wear Brown Sugar from Chanel which I think was a similar colour.

LTEC - have a productive day at Bicester

They remind me of some lovely sandals I had as a child, with cork heels - I thought I was the bee's knees in them. Unfortunately, nowadays, I manage to fall over even in ballet flats!

Butter nail varnish sounds interesting.

cool top Janeite - bargain too!

what are you wearing to dinner tomorrow night tracey?

Hope you are having fabulous night Fleecy
