Nice one pigtails!

 

[baldrick]

realised in a panic last weekend that all my work clothes are wool and/or knitted, bar one dress. this caused an emergency splurge in Monsoon - got a very nice drapey jersey dress for £24 in the sale.

I rediscovered all my linen trousers and thin shirts in the back of the wardrobe which kept me going for a week, but i am now trawling ebay desperately for more jersey dresses. i have to iron the linen trousers and shirts and that is far too much effort for 6:30 in the morning. jersey - the saviour of lazy birds everywhere.

I used to have to wear a lot of linen at work (clothes shop) and got one of those plant spray bottles and would hang my trousers over something flat and then spray them a bit until they were damp. Once dry, they always looked good enough without ironing, and I was contractually obliged to look immaculate, so I'm sure it would have been mentioned if they were crumpled. Totally understand why you wouldn't want to get the iron out at 6.30 in the morning!

It has taken me days to find these shirts!

And also couldn't resist replacing my harem pants with another identical (hopefully) pair.

I know they're ugly, but they're so comfy and cool in the hot summers here.

Some very sensible chocolate leggings (£7) and a (size smaller than usual) polo neck (£6). Summer isn't here yet, and these were on sale. They'll go well with my long cardi which is actually a deeper wine colour than shown (also bought in sale for £12), and with my lovely poncho I bought earlier in the year from Phase Eight. All from M&S - extra 20% off online today, which equates to free p&p.

Though someone really should confiscate my Credit Card !

 

[Shirl]

A pair of red Gant canvas pumps from TKMaxx for £20. Still available online from Gant at £60

 

[killer b]

a dark orange penguin polo shirt for a couple of quid from the cafod shop.

 

[wtfftw]

cow print pjama bottoms and fake glasses, both from primark.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

fake glasses

They're really popular here, I've never seen my friend without a pair.

 

[Ms T]

I haven't bought anything at all for more than three weeks - this has to be some kind of record.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Same here. Oh. Well I bought some red converse but they don't count because I didn't own any flat shoes before, I only has boots or sandals, so...

I'm not going to buy anything until I lose my pastry weight. I'm still hanging on to it from Christmas when I had a bit of a pastry binge

 

[Greebo]

This (in ivory, not white) won't get worn often, but a dress bought last summer is too long and doesn't hang right without it. BTW the net is the soft variety, not scratchy.

Another bird print dress, cos you can never have enough, right?
And 2 patterns of lacy tights.

[wayward bob]

grrrrr had forgotten my para boots died a death last year and had to be held together with gaffer tape

anyone know if you can get the (i think?) east german ones any more? unlined, with hooks not holes at the top

 

[wayward bob]

these are the ones

i could only find one seller on ebay and they don't have anything smaller than a 7.5. i'm pretty sure my old ones were 6

 

[Biddlybee]

These are close (ish)... http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/details2.asp/ProductID/199/german-army-surplus-para-boots.htm

 

[moose]

what's a 'German Airsoft' look? I daren't google it.

My favourite surplus shop in Manc does them from size 3.

(sorry, just noticed they're lined - will keep looking)

 

[Biddlybee]

I googled.

it's like paintball but with air guns, pretend war games.

I was just looking for boots for bob

Charnos hourglass girdle pants, not as good as the kiss me deadly dress but I needed some suck you in stuff without having a bra or suspenders attached.

Need a new longline bra now....

I have bought this bag twice. Last time I returned it because I thought it was too tacky.

It's quite expensive for me because I'm skint but I had a 20 quid voucher so it's only cost me 20.

I know it's tacky but is it the right side of tacky ie not Kerry Katona or Tulisa levels of tack?

 

[moose]

Definitely. Flamingos are ace.

 

[weepiper]

I bought a bra and pants set off Brastop after sheo kept banging on about it etc

It hasn't come yet. I shall report back when it does.

 

[zenie]

I really need to get measured before I buy new bra stuff, how do you know if you're wearing the wrong size?

PS Pics weeps?

 

[Me76]

in orer to help my financial situation I have been trawling ebay a lot more lately. In the past couple of weeks I have got some Lush soap, Lush lip balm, Lush bubble bath, Lush perfume and a hat for a total of £21.20.

 

[madzone]

I went into a little fabric shop/craft gallery to buy ribbon and bought two necklaces and matching earrings too
Here's the red one,

And here's a detail of one of the little birds. It's paisley resin It's a long chain but I'm going to shorten it.


The other one is the same but blue and the earrings are just little flowers and beads.

 

[temper_tantrum]

I need to buy a new suit I fucking HATE suit shopping. They cost a lot and still make me look like shit. I just want a smart black dress and matching suit jacket (preferably cropped-sleeve). Is that too much to ask?! I'm going to try Hobbs tomorrow. Anyone got any other inspiring recommendations?

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

That's really nice madzone, I'd never even considered the possibility of paisley resin.
