Fashion chat- Dressed up or down??? All welcome!!

Bronnie

Hi all!

Your HONEST opinions on this please! Especially you young 20somethings! Would you wear this? I think it's quite cute and considering it for DD for Christmas. Or do you think the spotty thing is a bit??????????

She looks a bit like you daisy, tall and willowy with long hair.

I'm looking for a few surprise gifts as she's chosen her main pressie herself. The trouble is if she doesn't like something it actually never sees the light of day.....which I understand!

Bronnie- yes I would wear that, in fact I was drooling over it in town last week
(and would have bought it if it weren't for the fact I have a dreadful track record with hats).

I'd wear it...in fact, I think I might have to go and find one if they are left in the new year....(30 years old - practically ancient )

Bronnie

It does look so beautifully soft and light doesn't it?

daisybella

Bronnie, it is lovely and soft and a gorgeous "goes with everything" colour.

Alexnikov

It's not my style at all (don't like animal prints) but yes, definitely get it

minerva_windsong

Ooh cute hat! *might have to get one for herself now*

Speaking as a 22-year-old who considers herself reasonably fashion conscious, I'd say yes, definitely get it.

piratefairy

Yep, I love it, it gets a thumbs-up from me, Bronnie
May have to add it to my own Xmas list, although my mum has already got me one hat, from River Island, with panda ears

Cute hat, Bronnie - cosy yet chic! Mariel - nothing wrong with the way you dress, I've always believed that it's better to look ridiculous than be overlooked.

Hope all of you are okay and keeping warm and dry.
We're still in a state of limbo so decided to blitz the shops and finish the Christmas shopping, write and post the Xmas cards just on the off-chance we're offered alternative flights for this weekend. My bag's packed and ready and I'm anxiously awaiting news from British Airways. My friends are excited that we may be spending New Year together so whatever happens I'm sure we'll have fun.

Today's outfit:

Black chiffon puddycat bow blouse with polka dots (Kate Moss at TopShop)
Black waistcoat (again, KM at TopShop)
Acid wash high waisted jeans (Sample sale)
Tod's turquoise knee-high python boots (Car boot)
Silver tribal bangles and rings (India)
Tassel earrings (H&M via car boot)
Moss green knitted beret (Jumble sale)
Vintage emerald green leather trench coat (eBay)

Have a nice evening!

Goan, I love your attitude

I have finished wrapping all presents now, bar two which I will bribe Mum to do, I loathe wrapping paper, and sellotape. The two conspire against me, and there were tears of rage at my inability to get it just right.

*sits and waits for christmas to arrive so it can be over*

ohhh
I'm a right Grinch today
