This made me laugh! :lol:

I loooove that velvet skirt and am already pairing it with a few of my jumpers in my mind. Would be great at Christmas too...

I really like this jumper - I think it would be ideal for milder weather and would go with loads. The only thing that's making me hesitate is the combination of short sleeves and the turtleneck. Short sleeves need mild weather but turtlenecks are really warm...

Is that’s because wears my money recommended then and did you also buy the enormo pants? Disclaimer: I did.

Are the enormo pants the Chantelle ones? I’ve been wearing them for ages :humble:.

Oh these look like exactly the massive pants I'm interested in. Is the control bit very restrictive? I'm not a huge fan of any kind of pressure on my stomach, I'm looking for comfy :))

It’s not but the elastic is a bit narrow and tight around the middle - I’d prefer a wider elasticated band to spread the pressure - if you know what I mean.

I stopped following her a while back but am a recent member of the high waist knickers gang! I like the Organic Basics ones and they have a wide elastic band so super comfy.

Tell me reasons why it would be a bad idea to purchase this coat, please:

I'll start:
I live in the country so where TF am I going to wear a long oatmeal-coloured coat to?
It's massively expensive.

It is lovely!

It's a bit odd that it's not lined though, I'd be concerned it'd fall out of shape with time.

Also with climate change you'll only need to wear it about 2 days in the year :lol: :cry:

Ahem. I managed to bargain them down to 238€ (various codes) so I have bought it. I will return it if it's not 100% perfect in real life.
