Items to which I am allured

[Disco]

Yes, you still want to wear nice things!

[Hazey_Jane]

Oh yes, I have my eye on the Marrimekko skirts too. Thanks for the reminder Pipola

[Dutchie]

I love Marimekko stuff!!

Also, I agree on the footwear thing for you, Ella. I have a paraplegic friend who wears shoes so you have much more reason to! Besides, they are really nice!

[Margo]

They are lovely, Ella.

If anyone is interested, Dune do similar in wide fit although they are stupidly expensive.

My problem with sandals like that is that as well as needing wide fit, my fat toes get pinched by them

I bought a cream M&S pair that are pretty much the same but nowhere near that price

[emma_p]

Yes that style is everywhere! Amazon has a dupe.

Samhas just reminded me that I can’t walk, so maybe I don’t need sandals


(He wasn’t being a bitch, but he thinks I’m stress-shopping, and I am. I might be able to use them in a couple of years, though.I’ve liked that style for a couple of years already

All the more reason to buy them: they won’t wear out and will last you for years!

I love the stripey/wiggly/chevron skirt.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I missed out on the skirt after faffing too long. Never mind.

Great justification’

[rosy]

Not walking is a great reason to buy frivolous shoes that you won't ruin (and I have used this reason to justify a purchase) :Louboutins:

Um, meow?
I need them not to be leather, especially since they’d be a non-essential purchase. I will order them. Right.

I will also order the blouse. I won’t be able to try it on any time soon, though

[Hazey_Jane]

I found myself in Uniqlo today and wasn’t impressed with the Marimekko skirts in real life but jumped on the bandwagon for one of these bags which will be great for travelling

[Pippedydeadeye]

Nice choice Hazey! I’m not hugely gutted about missing the skirts now either.

[FiveO'Clock]

I love that bag, Hazey! I have it in black and use it all the time. I'd like one in every color and am working on justifying it

[Margo]

Damn! I walked right past a Uniqlo in Oxford today and didn’t even think of going in!

[emma_p]

I bought the Uniqlo/marimekko navy scallop dress for Liv and the matching skirt for me

[isambard]

I already have the Salomon XT6 trainers but in black but I am wondering about white for the summer. What do you all think of these? Do they look smart enough to wear with non-sports wear?

[emma_p]

I'd say those were actual sports trainers. But I'm not really an athleisure person!

Thanks emma

[sally maclennane]

I agree with Emma, i think if you want to wear trainers with non sports clothes, you're better going for trainers that are less sporty, like Stan Smiths or Vejas.
