This fab sparkly frock for the NYE wedding in Sweden I'm going to. It's flattering and gorgeous, and gives me an excellent excuse to buy green jewellery, but drops glitter FUCKING EVERYWHERE.

That's gorgeous, where's it from moose?

Simply Be It's actually wrap-fronted but you can't see that in the pic. Just hope some glitter stays on to wear it more than once

Great frock moose
I have a whistles black sparkly frock that drops glitter everywhere. I've worn it quite a lot and it doesn't look any less glittery now than when I got it. No bold or even sparse patches, I bet yours will be the same.
Lucky you NYE in Sweden.

 

[wtfftw]

Yeah. I accidentally an asos purchase. The dots are now sparkly bits I shed.

 

[Shirl]

Looks like sparkly is popular round here. I bought these a couple of weeks ago. They are gold, the pink tinge is from my phone camera.

This from Monsoon for my Dad's funeral. I'm not a great one for dressing up, but I feel the occasion warrants it and he would have appreciated it. It's actually a strapless dress with a kind of lace crop top which camouflages the belly quite well.

Ilkley charity shops came up good yesterday. Amongst other things I got this The Bridge leather shoulder bag for £9.99
I've polished the leather, now for the brass logo

Lush!!

Thanks for the link Biddly.

They are making me smile a lot

This, which essentially a big comfy velvet t-shirt, and just needs chucking on with some loud jewellery and big boots. It's a lot longer on me, obvs.

Is there any shaping, or is it totally t-shirt-shape?

I've just ordered it.
Plus my daughter's got her discount card for Clarkes so I'm getting some Orla Kiely shoes with 75% off.
Hopefully that will be Christmas and new year sorted then.

I'm at work and have just ordered a pair of skinny PVC coated jeans...hmmm took a lot of persuading by my team that I'm not too old to pull them off...

We'll see when they arrive...

It is pretty much t-shirt shape, but because of the neck, it's more flattering. Having said that, the neck is very low, so I'm going to be fiddling - probably putting pleat in the back which will make it more swingy. Not sure it would be your thing - I don't have your lovely nipped-in waist!

As long as you're not going to the Grand Hotel in Lund on NYE in your green sparkly dress and Orla Kiely shoes #twins

Bought these in Iasci. Sort of pewter - as near as I will go to sparkly.

right - this have been siren-songing to me since you posted it. What's the fit like? Are the sleeves capacious?

It would accommodate bosoms larger than mine because of the wrap, and it's quite short waisted. There's a deep ruched band round the waist but it's not tight by any means. Just below knee on me (5'4"ish) I am by no means small of arm, but the sleeves aren't clingy. There's about 2 inches of room before the fabric needs to stretch on me, and it's very stretchy. I think it would look great on you. And you could float around in a haze of glitter in every room of your house for ever more.

Ha! No such luck! I've got my new shoes, omg, they're lovely. I just need to be able to walk and they'll be aces.

I bought this for my upcoming 40th, but not sure I'll keep it:

It is lovely, beautifully made, but unlined and doesn't fit quite right around the arms/shoulders. Plus it costs my whole outfit budget. Thinking I'd rather use £200 to buy a dress (or two), new shoes and new bag.

I have no idea what to wear though! Going to dinner with stylish friends followed by a night in a hotel...

 

[Cloo]

Fab though! I want to own a DvF dress one day.

If it doesn't fit, take it back! (I am ruthless about this.) Specially if it's expensive.

Yep, this. My rule for spending big bucks on clothes (and heaven knows i have ) is that it absolutely *has* to make you jump about and dance and grin like a loon in the changing room from the moment you try it on. No having to strike a pose or catch an angle or hold anything in for it to look ace. You have to want to wear it always. I think you can do better May Kasahara.

moose where is the velvet t shirt dress from please? You're spawning an army of mini mooses

Looks like it's probably from ASOS Curve? Moose has fabulous taste, no wonder people want to dress like her

Oh people help me. I've shed some post baby weight and have treated myself to cigarette cut jeans. Love them, love the fit, but what the fuck do I wear with them?
I'm having major wardrobe trauma, I have three tops to my name, all summer, all trashed and bobbly and desperately need changing but I'm struggling to find anything I like at all on the high street. Thanks to this thread I've been reminded of simplybe, but where else should I try and what am I looking for?
Bloody clothes.

I love ASOS because they're fairly cheap, you can get a lot of other brand's clothing with them and if you pay a tenner you get a years next day delivery. The next day service is pretty good, you get a text with an hours slot and can rearrange by text.
