Where did you get your biker boots?

I've been buying loads of things recently. Using going back to work after maternity leave and being pretty much back to my pre-pregnancy size (same dress size, just more wobbly) as an excuse. Got two tops with great patterns from M and S. I used to scoff at their clothes for being middle aged but they have some really good patterns at the moment. Also got some boots from there. Can't find them on the website so will have to post pics later. And just ordered a hoodie, coat and two long sleeved tops online. I am ignoring my next credit card bill.

I got them from Next delivery... purely because I find their order/next day delivery thing really easy. I ordered 2 pairs - black biker boots and some gorgeous burnished red boots by a company called "Fly". The latter I really wanted to fit me but they were too narrow for my fat feet.

totally worth it. What's the red one? Is it also birdie pattern?

This is my problem, fat legs. Will have a look, cheers.
They do a dark red version of the swallow dress, it's a really nice colour so I'm tempted...
It's really bloody annoying that there are 5 stores within 5 miles and none of them stock Inspire clothes but at least you can get delivery to store now.

the biker boots are very very loose around the calves (they're calf length - not knee length) - someone had said that on the reviews - so they're great. The red ones (which were also calf length) just made my legs look like badly stuffed sausages and were too narrow on the foot.
I got my New Look dress delivered to the house.

I'm cheap and didn't want to pay delivery.
Ooh, that's handy. Do you know which ones they were? Questions, questions, questions!
; )
Eta, is it these?

Ooh, I like the look of those. The loose around the calf bit sounds good too, I struggle to find boots that I can get my trousers into.
New boots are the consolation prize for the summer being over.

Them's the ones! They're also quite roomy in the foot bit too - to the point where I reckon I could have gotten away with a size smaller.

Oh fab, thanks. I'd spotted them earlier but hadn't looked at the review.
My husband is getting them for my birthday. I think he thought boots were still about 20 quid so he made a bit of a face. : D

i am delivered of my haul from the collectif sale.
ostentiably a size 12, fits.
size 16. a little snug
(cardie) size 14, fits a little better than the spotty one - much prettier in the flesh: the embroidered cherries are red and bright pink - versatile and bright.
(skirt) size 14 - fits.
(blouse - tie waisted with flamingos on back and shoulders.) size 18 - far too small.
All for less than £100. Honestly, I really love collectif, but their sizing is a JOKE. How can I be a 12 in the dress and yet the size 18 blouse is too small? how can the size 14 cardie be bigger than the size 16? I mean - i know how it happens: small business, cheap manufacture, several suppliers, little quality control... but really?

That is really shoddy of them spangles, they must have some control over the sizing, even if it's just that they have to adjust the labeling? It happens a lot in China when you buy online, it'll say 'label says Medium, but really is large' etc etc.
The flamingo skirt is really gorgeous though!

Thanks, I was only supposed to be getting jeans but I really did need a new coat. I've not bought a winter coast for years apart from a duvet type dog walking one.Nice coat
Wow, thanks. I rate your taste

Top from Next and jeans from M&S bought yesterday.
I was most heartened to see all the autumn colours in the shops yesterday, they're much more my colours than this summer's have been.

Oh god. Is it gloomy aubergine and moody turquoise again?
No, it's rich aubergine and gorgeous turquoise
Plenty of red too.
I love these colours.
I'll have the autumn colours Ruby, and you can have the summer hues.

It's the fact that they're the same every year, since about 5 years ago, and there isn't any choice that depresses meNo, it's rich aubergine and gorgeous turquoise

Anyway I'm not really buying clothes any more, I'm just making them, so I can have whatever colour I damn well like.

These are both going back, the dress doesn't sit right, think it's because I have a long body.
The cardi was just not right, and did look a bit grannyish.
Oh well, the money can go in the boot fund. : )
