Items to which I am allured

[sally maclennane]

I'm no fashion expert Lily, but I'm not overly keen on them.

[baargain]

I like them, this may or may not be an issue for you :lol: I have been fancying some embroidered jeans.

[Lily]

You would be limited to what you could wear with them though, I suppose.

[baargain]

Any colour tshirt/vest top/jumper - especially with a similar colour to the embroidery. I am liking jeans with shirts/blouses too. Also a plain top and blazer. Loadsa stuff.

[Lily]

Hmm, I will think ... I am saving up some House of Fraser vouchers for some jeans as I only have one pair and they're a bit big. I don't wear patterned trousers per se, but the embroidery is beautiful.

[Pippedydeadeye]

They are so 90s it hurts. I remember having a pair just like that.

[baargain]

I am loving all the 90s stuff

[Turtle Bean]

I quite like them.

I haven't been to M&S yet Pippo, but will do tonight on my way home. I need to try them as I have bad luck with M&S shoes.

[smalex]

I am not madly keen, but I am not down with the embroidery trend in general.

[Mrs Danvers]

Do I look like something out of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane in this? It's that nice kind of tencel material, has pockets on the hem seam and is really comfortable but I have giant baby fear. I wouldn't wear it with the lovely flesh coloured fishnets I have on here :lol: but probably with opaques and boots and maybe bare legs and sandals if it ever gets warm enough.

[baargain]

It looks a bit big, what's the next size down like?

[Cerise]

Deffo looks too big. Are you waiting in the changing room for our replies?

[Mrs Danvers]

Yes. It took you all long enough. I have had to barricade myself in ;) . No, I was in Zara earlier and had to rush back to work. I Whatsapped PiB whilst in there and she wasn't sure. That's a medium, I think. Maybe try a size down? I prefer all of my clothes to be quite tent-like so I find it hard to judge when it has spilled over into Homer's muumuu territory :))

I love that colour and that fabric (I adore dresses made from it, they're so soft!) It might be the angle of the photo but I'm sure about the drop waist dress. I know they're never flattering on me because of my boobs :cry:

[Mrs Danvers]

Hmm, I know what you mean. I don't think I have any drop waist dresses. This could be a clue as to whether or not it suits me :))

[Derek Nimmo]

I'm with Emma - like the colour, like the material, think the style is meh and does not flatter your lovely figure.

[Mrs Danvers]

What about this one? It's quite booby, so I would wear a slip under it but I love the colour.

[Mrs Danvers]

Thank you and you're probably right. Generally if you need to ask it's not right.

[Derek Nimmo]

Much, much nicer. I like the funky sleeves (not a phrase I've ever used before) in particular.

[Mrs Danvers]

Yes, me too. I am not one for frills normally but they are not too mariachi band. Maybe just tasteful maraca shaker :))
