The blouse is not worth more than £20 - £25 imo.Similar type of blouse in M&S for £25, probably better quality and I know what size will fit me
I'm more tempted to buy things later in the evening and I often do, and the next day wonder why. I suppose the resistance is lower at the end of the day. You will get more pleasure from your candle lantern than from the blouse.I was watching late last night and I was half asleep so you can forgive me for thinking it was really lovely. I liked all of the colours especially the pink. I listened to all the dress it up, dress it down, wear it back to front blurb and I was almost tempted to get rid of something I don't wear that much to make room for it. I decided that I didn't like the price so I didn't bother and having tuned in this morning I'm saying to myself "thank God for that!" In the cold light of day I've actually gone right off it. It looks really fussy and would only be suitable for evening wear but the worst bit is how blinking sheer the fabric looks, put a vest or camisole underneath and it spoils the look, wear it without and you'd freeze to death. Money and disappointment saved. I consoled myself by buying a lovely candle lantern with a mesh design it was less than £20 not from Q obviously, ok I can't wear it but it'll get a lot more use than a blouse that's only suitable for the office Christmas party! Just noticed that it needs to go on a cold wash - sod that!
I think it's to do with the adrenaline rush you get from placing an order. From experience we all know that the buzz from placing an order often exceeds the pleasure of receiving the item. There's nothing nicer than drifting off to sleep knowing that something nice is on the way. When we're wide awake our brains have more time to consider the pros and cons and therefore we'll make more informed decisions. Of course if you are tired at the end of the day, your eyes and your brain aren't up to scratch. I didn't even notice the pouffy shoulders and all the drapey pleats on that blouse and how blingy the foiling was on some of the colours until this morning, or the fact that it's completely see through! So yes good sense did prevail, however it did take me ages to get to sleep so I'm glad I'm not working today so I managed to have a good lie in!I'm more tempted to buy things later in the evening and I often do, and the next day wonder why.

Jenny said she had bought the cream colored blouse, although she was wearing the flashy dark one (dark blue?) it was miles too big for her, so she must have bought the small (if she really did!)Hadn't seen Jenny for a while and if she thinks she's a size 12 she clearly isn't seeing what's in the mirror. If the camera adds 10lb then she must be a size 6 or so in real life. She looks scraggy. Even Ophelia looks like she's lost a stone. Didn't mind the blouse but I bought the Ruth Langsford one so no need for more.

It doesn't suit everyone to have their hair pulled back, but it looks much better than wearing dangling strands on either side of the face down to the chin.She's lost far too much weight IMO and that hairstyle that pulls all your hair back and stretches your face didn't help. Jenny's a pretty lady but she is starting to look ill. She said she was wearing the medium when I was watching and I doubt that.

I so agree at last someone thinks the same as me, if that was me the temptation would be to put those strands behing my ears out of the way, so annoyingIt doesn't suit everyone to have their hair pulled back, but it looks much better than wearing dangling strands on either side of the face down to the chin.
Totally agreeI like Jenny but she seems hyper these days and, as I have commented before (so please excuse me repeating myself) it annoys me that she is referred to as THE brand ambassador of Kim and Co as if Carla Laszlo doesn't exist. That would really irritate me if I was Carla.
