The Mock Turtle

I’ve had to replace a swimsuit because it was all threadbare. Annoyingly, the Boden website overrode my BLC voucher but I had also used a gift voucher, so it wasn’t too bad. I’ve emailed them about it, so you never know. I also won these on eBay after a pair slipping from my grasp before Christmas.

That’s a lovely costume.

I like that costume too.

My StitCh Fix arrives tomorrow and I didn’t preview it so it will either be a good or bad surprise ..

I love the swimsuit, Pip. You made me look at Boden swimsuits and now I want to try a couple of them. And go on holiday somewhere warm to wear them

I’ve already got a couple in that design (Santorini), and one is the one that needed replacing.

It’s such a good swimsuit. I still have my red, white and blue one, but I’ve doubled in size since buying it, so no dice . It’s really worth the money though, I think.

I really want try the blue merano deep v-neck swimsuit and the red palermo ruffle v swimsuit.

So pretty!

I’m keeping two stitch fix things. A light blue jumper. I’d never usually pick the colour and I wasn’t holding out much hope but it was actually quite nice. Plus a Hush necklace which a nice long length. There was a great black jacket but it was too small and I don’t really need it. There was just one bad item which was a leopard print dress which was dire.

Can we see, please?

Boden very kindly retrospectively applied the better discount, so the costume has only cost me £30. Top tip: when they send you those £10 off a £30 spend voucher, they don’t actually expire.

Bought this (incredibly cheap) blouse to wear with jeans and a blazer at work.

Have also bought these beauties made by a lovely Turtle

The earrings are pretty - what's the pink bit made from? Is it a resin? I like your striped shirt too - looks very useful.

I have been hunting down ebay bargains and got this Madewell chambray skirt (similar-ish to one I have already but no belt on this one) and the exact same Frame Le High jeans I bought a few months back and have worn non-stop. I wondered if they might be fake but they seem legit!

The pink bit is polymer clay (coloured with alcohol ink and gold leaf), coated with resin

I like that skirt, Emma - it's fresh and springy

I have wanted this jumpsuit for absolutely years, at least 2019, and have had an eBay alert set for at least 18 months. Some fucker tried to outbid me at the last minute this evening, but I beat them & didn’t pay too much. Certainly not as much as I was prepared to.

Woohoo! I’m sure I remember you posting that before.

I’m not as fickle as Some People (my husband) think.

I love this swimming cossie, Pip. I hadn't thought of looking at Boden. Unfortunately I absolutely cannot wear a halter neck.

Where is good for a plus-sized costume that is pretty? I have a East German-esque Speedo suit - I could just do with one for going to the beach. I would even risk a tankini.

My favourites are Boden, Freya, and oddly, Sainsos.

I have seen a really nice, very 'me', Freya tankini but it unfortunately £100.
