Items to which I am allured

[Ella]

The linen jumpsuit made me look at least 15 years older, so I’ve sent it back. Next question: is this hideous?

I want a bag this sort of shape and size that isn’t leather, so pleather or something like that, ideally. The trouble is, tan pleather always comes out orange, and I already have a black bag. This one is gold, but there are other colours too. Not grey, which would have been a contender otherwise .

[Pippedydeadeye]

I like that. I know what you mean about tan pleather.

[Marth]

I have sent the sandals back because I realise I just won't really wear them. I've ordered some pink birkies instead and a jumpsuit that I don't think I'll fit into (last one on site)

The pink Birkenstocks are so nice! I like the jumpsuit too. Hope it fits

[Dutchie]

Oooh very nice jumpsuit and Birkies! I've ordered Saltwater Sandals in mustard...

[Lily]

I like both jumpsuits! Wendy, a friend at work used to wear a pair of lacy pants stuffed into a low-cut top like that :)) it sounds silly but it looked just like a camisole.

It’s very like a j crew bag I had in DC. I had it in kelly green and tan. They were terrible quality which is a shame because they are such a good size/shape.

Gold is good for summer but maybe not year round? Is there a a dark red/burgundy or olive?

Both fit and are keepers! The jumpsuit has a side zip so very easy for bathroom purposes. They are a bit long though (they were the very last ones on the website and were "long", so I'll take them up when I feel a bit better)

[Pippedydeadeye]

I’m pleased to hear that, they make a lovely summer outfit and filled me with a longing to shop.

Slightly different Birkenstocks. Am I having a strawberry crocs moment?

I want something I can slide on to take the dog out when it cools down which won’t be for a while though.

[Edith Bacon]

They look really nice, olive. I think they are very far away from strawberry crocs.

[Glint]

I think they're slipper-ish, depends if that's what you're looking for.

[Ella]

They do look like slippers.

[Marth]

Classic Birkenstock mule. Perfect for popping the dog out.

[Luna]

I like them. But then I’m swayed by some leather things on fb with backs that you flatten down so they look like mules.

Oh, on looking, I think I’ve muddled up two types of shoe but I am allured to these.

Surely a croc would be more practical for dog walking than a fur lined suede clog?

[olive]

I like slipper-ness of them. Occasionally I’ll end up walking Bruno around the neighbourhood instead of coming straight back in and I can’t be arsed putting trainers on every time when it gets cooler.

ETA- I did look at crocs but I couldn’t get beyond the fugness and then wondered if these were equally fugly and I just wasn’t seeing it.

Also it wouldn’t be for proper walks but occasionally I might walk Bruno around the neighbourhood at night.

[Luna]

I live in crocs. I wear them to work, for dog walking, nipping to sainsos. They are so useful.

[purple_dress]

I tried on a pair of those a while ago, olive and they are very fur lined when new, to the extent that I found it hard to get my foot in. So you may want to size up.

[Kenickie]

Is this maxi dress ok or is it a look that needs to be avoided when pregnant? I'm not sure if I just look like a giant balloon.

I'm also never sure if I can wear yellow or if it makes me look a bit undead?
