And almost bought this, but decided I'd probably wear it once

Owls! I love this...
You should go back and buy it

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm tempted... but I bet I'll go back and they won't have it anymore... then I'll be more gutted than not getting it

Thanks

I like that! I'd kill for Joan Holloway's wardrobe... the clothing in Mad Men is fantastic.

The first thing hendo said when I showed him was "you look like Joan Holloway". This is a good thing, on the whole.

I really want a pair of DM knee high lace up patent flat boots - i saw them a bit ago but didnt buy them and now I really want them but cant find them. Grrrr.

I want an owl dress - I'd wear it every waking hour

There are 14 hole patent docs on drmartens.com, but not 20 hole.

what size are you moose? I can look in DP next time I'm in town (only saw it in 1 out of the 3 branches I went in).

Thanks very much, but I found it online and the fabric's too synthetic for me - I'd be getting electric shocks and crazy hair all the time

 

[feyr]

ooo that owl dress is lovely!

Might be a good look

I'm still in two minds about it

I've just had to sate my owl lust with a fabric purchase on ebay

 

[Biddlybee]

A black + white striped scarf, some purple pringle socks, some garish green, grey and yellow tartan wool chinos (unsure whether these are awesome or hideous...) And a grey wool v-neck.

 

[beeboo]

It's very Mad Men, like half my wardrobe these days.

What did you decide in the end about getting your ears pierced? I decided against it, but have satisfied my demand for earrings with a few 1950s vintage clip-on pairs off ebay - they'd look great with that kind of dress.

Today I bought two shirts from Dorothy Perkins- both quite long, only just too short to wear as dresses. Both collarless, drawstring at the back, one black with grey and silver threads running down it, and the other a cream/white for maximum potential accessorising. Also a necklace with about ten strings of black beads, very glamorous

And a pair of furry bootee slippers from Claire's Accessories, wouldn't even go in there normally but my bf's mum has them and I fell in love with them.

 

[foamy]

i got a lovely blue velvet dress from Dotty P's
and two aprons for work from TK Maxx

[Biddlybee]

I'm in town on Wed... so going to have to tell myself I can't afford it

 

[wtfftw]

Get it. For the team. I should be wearing owl clothing really as I'm called Auntie Owl by nephews and nieces (funnily enough).

Paperchase are doing owly things just now. Not a dress I know.

I'm thinking of getting an owly overnight bag for my niece from there. And now I am thinking I should take up sewing so I have an excuse to buy some owl fabric from ebay for her.

I'm going to make owls her thing until she is old enough to tell me to fuck off.

 

[Biddlybee]

I saw someone walk past me with an owl bag... similar owls to the one on that dress/tunic. What's with the owls all of a sudden?

Feels like the trend for them has been going on for a couple of years now. I really do love Owls though - I end up collecting Owl necklaces whenever I see them for sale in places like Topshop etc

 

[Biddlybee]

hehehe... just seen this: http://cgi.ebay.de/NEU-OWL-KLASSISC...hren_Schmuck_Taschenuhren?hash=item3ca768c35d

If I do try that dress on again do I go for the coloured one or black and white?

 

[LadyLDN]

Oooh - that's cute BiddlyBee!

Regarding the Owl dress, I say the coloured one: it's has a really cool retro feel with the colorscheme it uses. Nothing against B&W, but Owls in colour are best
