Did you keep the blazer, Pip? I have fallen for this skirt but it feels wrong to buy something so summery in September (it's not in the sale). It's classic enough though, right?

Have you worn it yet?

I found a discount code so I ordered it. I hope I get a few wears before autumn kicks in!

I bought orange suede birkies in a sale today, not the most practical idea when the forecast is a week of storms, but they cheered me up.

Lovely skirt, Emma.

Sale Birkies are never a bad idea. I love the idea of orange ones.

Orange is the most cheerful of colours.

Orange birks sound like the perfect September purchase.

Love the sound of orange birkies!

Are these too much like maternity trousers? Spotted them on Vinted and I like the look of them...

Do I like these dresses? I need something for a wedding in Mallorca in October.
Weirdly the brown one is my favorite I think, but I am usually so anti brown clothes I’m wondering if I’m hormonal. WDYT?

I don't think the middle one would be flattering (it's not just the way the model is standing!) and think the brown one would swamp you. The first one though? Stunning!

No 1 is the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen.

2 is awful and 3 could be worth a try on.

Epp- you would no doubt carry them all off with aplomb but number one is beyond beautiful

I thought of Pip as soon as I saw the first dress!! It’s It is perfect for an island wedding and would look great on you. It would be a perfect going out for dinner on holiday dress too so you’d definitely wear it after the wedding.

I have some like that and like them, but they need to be the right size - if they're at all too big it's a disaster :lol: I fold the top over which I think is how thy're supposed to be worn.

I think No. 3 could be beautiful on you, Epp. Try them all on and take pictures. :)

I also love number one, number two is an ill fitting China plate and three could be lovely or hideous on.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Hmm, then I think I'll skip them - being on Vinted, I can't try them on. And the price is too high for me to risk it.

Ooh Epp, I love that first dress! It would be perfect for a wedding. The second one looks like it would be really uncomfortable. The third one has great sleeves but might be too pouffy on, that's one to try on.
