Friends Chat Thread: Wardrobe, Fun, and Whatever

[gracekelly]

They’re great so far! Mostly had to wear the SW boots in London due to cold weather, but the sneakers are really going to be put to the test in Portugal this weekend. Here are some more, gratuitous photos from London, including my Instagram story commentary/geotags. Would also like to note I had the bet goat cheese I’ve EVER had at Neal’s Dairy. Just phenomenal. It is now my life’s mission to figure out how to get this cheese in the US.

DH and I had lovely times staying at the Dorchester! Tea there is great and the food in general is quite good. My favorite episode there was when another hotel guest was filling their tub at 2am and then fell asleep and the tub overflowed and set off the fire alarms and woke up everyone in the hotel!

Oo La La! Very chic! [emoji7]
I did not dress up quite so much, i had lunch with one of the friends I’m going to Paris with to iron out a few details, but I wasn’t a total shulb!

@papertiger - today is the day! Looking forward to your Women's Day outfit!

@cafecreme15 - so lovely!

My DUT outfit - Missoni wool dress, Maxi twilly belt, Prada sea island cotton cardigan. Easy, breezy, dressy.

And on an off topic note: Do any of you ladies have knowledge/experience with HRT for menopause? Please PM me - I have a few questions.

This looks great!
I love the maxi twilly belt!

Your shoes match your scarf! Ooh, you're going to Paris as well?!? Are your friends the shopping kind?

Omg, can’t believe that happened! Crazy! The hotel was absolutely gorgeous though.

Thank you! I leave May 28th, just 5 days for me.
I've already started thinking about what to pack!

My friends are indeed the shopping type but not really the high end shopping type. We'll probably do a lot of window shopping. We have planned a stop in Hermes for, at the very least, a scarf - I'm hoping for a mousseline. We tried to plan on what we want to see, where we want to eat (because omg - that is very important! We had a very funny discussion that ended with me saying 'heck, I'll eat stale croissants and cheese, so long as I have good wine!'), and plan some time to just enjoy being there.

The Dorchester is really pretty. I appreciate the way you have labelled the pics.

The scarf belt is inspiring. I have no waist.

Love the shoes.

Even at my height, I still wear the heels - I love 'em!
(they make me 6' 2", but its not like I'm short when I take them off!)

It's tough to find high-end shopping companions- that’s why tpf is so fantastic!

Me neither - the sweater makes it work!

Today is the day!

Demonstrations all round the world against our unfair world towards women and I'm worried about coordinating colours but never mind...Basically we got together to honour many of the women who worked tirelessly for many many years as Suffragists (non-violent) and Suffragettes (who went further) and we had some eminent women speakers from the political, scientific and academic worlds come and speak (they were excellent and so inspiring).

Outfit: I wore Pucci jumper, Comme de Garcon skirt; DMs, rabbit fur jacket with the toggles, YSL Ivoire Marjorelle bag (it looked a bit like a Edwardian carpet bag with this outfit) and borrowed a beautiful violet Pagase d'H.

Usually I wear this jumper back to front because the positioning of the swirl is usually too commanding and does me no favours (white is the one bra colour I don't own, today I wore a pale grey cami with built in support) the placement of tis large swirl works as though a sash.

I centred the outfit around the perfect scarf I was loaned especially for the occasion. If was my scarf I would have worn it as a hairband wich would have looked better but I wasn't about to do that to someone else's pride and joy so I kept it very simple and it ended up like a triangle flag down the side of my skirt.

I didn't wear my Bambou Plume because it's not near the softer green in the jumper or the scarf and it was all just too much. It's good to put this oldie bag to good use too

I took this pic before I tied the scarf in a big triangle round my waist and over one hip that looked better but my stupid phone ran out of energy. I also took my hat off!
