Thanks.

Are your socks co-ordinated as well, nice look??

I know only too well.

Sadly not a lot can be done to avoid the Michelin Man look in padded jackets.

Jalima1108 Mon 19-Mar-18 10:15:30

Cognac! grin

MawBroon Mon 19-Mar-18 10:14:56

? grin

Jalima1108 Mon 19-Mar-18 10:13:59

Complementary brandy?

Complimentary brandy.

When I said white won't show the snow - I meant that, if you get stuck in a snowdrift, if there was an avalanche then white will not show up - you need something bright so that the rescuers can see you.

Although I suppose St Bernards just sniff you out and bring you brandy.

I don’t think Shoezone does ski boots though hmm

What about choice of footwear to go with it? Any particular store you like to use?

MawBroon Mon 19-Mar-18 09:53:38

Does anybody really agonise to this extent over what to wear with a (padded) jacket?
How on earth do some people get dressed in the morning, whether or not they are seeking compliments?

Hi.

I was thinking about either petrol or teal blue? What colour ski helmet would you match with that though?!
Thanks.

Hi.

The trim is silver.....

mcem Mon 19-Mar-18 06:39:26

Neatly put ma.

MawBroon Mon 19-Mar-18 06:34:34

Oh thank goodness jalima !

It's neutral so any colour will go. Maybe red or I've seen some great multi coloured ones.

MawBroon grin

and I shall now retire for the night, giggling as I go, thanks for that

Petrol blue would look lovely too.

seacliff Sun 18-Mar-18 21:46:15

Dark mauve and hat and gloves to match.

M0nica Sun 18-Mar-18 21:43:43

Do I see a pale blue trim on the jacket? If so go for that, otherwise I would go for a strong pastel colour, if you see what I mean? Strong primrose yellow.

MawBroon Sun 18-Mar-18 21:17:32

Ooh, compliments feelingmyage!

Feelingmyage55 Sun 18-Mar-18 21:16:53

I meant MawBroon

Feelingmyage55 Sun 18-Mar-18 21:16:26

Maw room I think you fancy yourself in that jacket!

MawBroon Sun 18-Mar-18 21:06:00

Why don’t you just tell it “You’re a lovely jacket, quite the nicest jacket on the slopes, I think you are very sexy and I’d like to take you home”
Further compliments should be superfluous.

Hi.
Not too worried about budget & really not keen on black !
I have white gloves so I guess white salopettes will look good but fancied something brighter that will still compliment the jacket !
