Alex you look lovely! Try for a bit less blur next time
Lir - I can do the black with one colour, it's wearing colours together I struggle with, I just don't seem to have the vision or imagination. I have a few skirts with more than one colour (lilac and silver velvet panel skirt for example) and I still just wear them with black! It's my style I suppose but I see other people doing colour and I want a piece of it. Last week my friend wore a pair of purple tights with purple shoes which didn't quite match, it looked great but I would be physically incapable of that. I quite like the idea of using grey as my base colour rather than black as I think it goes with any colour but it can look dull if you're not careful.

What about teaming the skirt with one of the colours in them?

Alex you look lovely, and much slimmer than I imagined ( I hope that is taken as a complement,it's meant to be x)

I love seeing your jewellery storage, it's so mice to have it on display like a work of art!

Mariel - do a challenge it'll be fun, I loved GG's no jeans challenge.

Today I am wearing my Darimeya floral dress/tunic with jeggings (nice thick ones) and a long teal top underneath.
Jewellery is a pink beaded bracelet with peacock charm, navy and white bracelet and white floral bead and clear bead bracelet.

I like the links to everyone's things I find it hard to visualise things so a photo really helps. Off to see DB brace pics. I might put a hideous one of me with tops and bottoms on tomorrow to make you feel better x

Yes to fairyshazza, but that said, like Caroline i have no willpower either..which is proven by the fact i spent half my week's food budget on a sequin jacket in the tesco sale last night it is beautiful tho, and it is payday next week!! lol

Is it the black one, sort of blazer style? I bought one last week. I love it and I can see me wearing this for a long time.

Alex, I know it was blurred, but you look nowhere near a size 18 in that pic. Well done you on losing the weight! You look fab!

piratefairy

Nope it's a cream one, 3/4 sleeves and kinda cropped. Thers a pic on my blog..

judyjetson

Yes, that's the one I meant, except for some reason in my head I think it's longer and more blazer-ish. It's been one of those weeks... I'm not very tall so it's not that short on me either. :rotfl:

Bronnie

You look great alex. Agree, you really do look slimmer than you say!! Well done on the fab weight loss!!

Girls, what do you think about this dress:

For a posh/formal evening party/charity fundraiser, I was thinking of wearing black tights and black shoe boots and some funky jewellery but not sure if it's appropriate or flattering, it's quite a good price shame about the delivery charge but I still can't make my mind up.

Any thoughts or alternatives? I have got 2 dresses in my wardrobe but both pre pregnancy and a bit snug, they are spaghetti straps and would need a cover up etc so not all that moneysaving trying to squeeze into them.

Well, i like it!

piratefairy

Yes that's a nice dress, sorry for not mentioning before!
Mariel, I like what LiR said about teaming the skirts with one of the colours, why not wear the lilac and silver skirt with a simple grey top and a chunky necklace in purple? Then you can still play it fairly safe, your top would be a block of plain colour, and attention would be drawn to the necklace..maybe?
