I have just made my first ever Vivienne Westwood purchases - am still floating!

[janeite]

Having loved Vivienne Westwood for years and never having dared to even try anything on, today I bought not one but two items! The woman is a genius! They look like nothing on the hangers, then you put them on and suddenly look two sizes smaller AND taller!

I bought this in black - or if not this then something v v similar. Dp VERY impressed with this one!

And a Red Label skirt with hitching up one side - I think this is it.

I am totally in love!

Apologies for all the !!! but I normally restrict my buys to Gap and M&S so this is very exciting for me.

Good idea. Love those boots too.

They both look beautiful and I can totally imagine you in them, I think you'll look great.

I'm tempted to try something on myself having read your thread.

Netaporter sale starts tomorrow and am sure some of there anglomania stuff will be in the sale.

I fancy a top too.

Perhaps mn could have a word with ms westwood and get us all a discount

WOuldn't that be good tracey

I like those boots too janeite

they are lovely I am particularly about the skirt

I have that red dress and love it - I wear it with either red high heels and a small red and black clutch bag or with black and gold heels and a black bag. Tis v flattering but if you have a belly spanx are a good idea with it.

Sorry - I have the dress in red - just remembered you have it black. Spanx, black or gold (or black and gold) and high heels will work brilliantly with the dress in black.

Thanks all. I have been and bought high black sandals today (only Clarks, as I still need to be able to walk!) plus very high waisted control pants. I think it looks okay - dp says it does.

Sounds lovely (all the dresses on this thread are!)

TOTALLY worth it at £100.

Will have to look at the sale myself tomorrow.

I like the sound of the dress with a denim jacket - good call.

Yes,it's a very womanly, curvy dress. Gorgeous!

Thank you.

I also have a black blazer with purple lining but I thought more black might be a bit much.

Denim would be nice I think.

Thanks.

oh that red dress is gorgeous

tracey - do you know if there's a special web address for netaporter, or if it's just through the main site?
Isn't it usually rammed (ie servers go down)?

I have put a couple of pics on my profile for a v short time only. Please, please try to be kind if you do have a look. Hair not done and no make up on - do I look fat and horrible? Scrap that - please reassure me, if you possibly can.

That dress is a triumph janeite. It looks v. flattering indeed, especially when you wear it without the jacket. Looks like it would take well to being blinged up too with the big ring etc. you mention.

Really? Thank you SO much. I feel very exposed - haven't worn anything that fitted since before dd1 was born - and she is now 15!

janeite love it! You look fab - dress fits beautifully and the shoes are lovely with it (and you have very good legs).

Thank you so much Fleecy. My ankles and wrists are the only bits I've got left that are still thin - so I sometimes feel like a big round ball with spindly little arms and legs.

Do the shoes look tarty? Scared.

Not a bit - I think they go perfectly. On trend without being OTT.

What do your girls think?

Thanks.

DD1 loves it (and wants to steal it). DD2 has no interest in clothes whatsoever but says it looks nicer than the one I bought in M&S a couple of weeks ago!

Oh- it looks fantastic

Do not let DD1 near!

Thanks Suzanne - love your name btw.

Fleecy - have just looked at your pic - you are sooo young and soooo glam.
