that's the one thing I've wanted for ages off Collectif but never seen it on sale in my size... now I want it even more. It's lovely and you look amazing in it.

Been buying lots of 'grown up' clothes.
I am 40 next month.
I wonder if there is a connection

 

[Greebo]

This shrug which looks next to nothing like that on me.

More likely there's a connection with dressing for your work.

They're not for work!

get some trainers as well?

 

[Greebo]

Bought this, for wearing over something else - a load of diamantes fell of it into the laundry net during the first wash.

 

[moonsi til]

My Viv Westwood slingbacks have arrived and they are adorable so I have prompted ordered another pair in white. Who knows where I will wear white slingbacks with a big red heart on the front but I not care!

i will if i see any i like

 

[geminisnake]

Greebo, liking the pretty top, not that some of the diamante fell off. I would have hand washed that myself.

With hindsight, so would I.

Still, glueing them back on will probably keep me out of mischief for a couple of evenings.

 

[equationgirl]

I bought a dress to wear to a party, but it doesn't fit Oh well.

 

[geminisnake]

(((eqg)))

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Cheap black trainers for under a fiver.

And a pair of fake Jeremy Scott for adidas trainers for only slightly more. I know they're pretty wrong but so cheap and gold.

My wingz were way too baggy, they'd have looked silly.

Not sure whether to just get a refund and stick to cardigans or try a smaller size.

I'm watching loads of dresses on eBay this week that I really want. I'm going to be massively skint if I win more than 2 of them.

I'm justifying it because most are bnwt and I have to get more summery stuff.

I'm not going to have the money later as I've got a weekend in Newcastle in April, TU conference in May and Glastonbury in June.

That means skinting us for the rest of the month is ok doesn't it?

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Cheapo sunglasses since although it's still freezing and snowy, it's also really sunny.

 

[moonsi til]

Love the green ones Yu..

Which ones did you get, the straight sleeved ones? Mine aren't exactly tight fitting, but they look ok. Trouble with their website is they advertise the same things under all the different categories, which is confusing.

And yes, it's fine to live on toast for a month in the good cause of frocks

Yeah, they're straight sleeves but really loose. I'll have another look at the options later.

The dress I really want ends today but it's already up to 26 quid so it will probably go for way more than I can afford. Also it's white which is not very flattering or good for clumsy people.
: / But it's so lovely. : (

 

[moose]

I have that dress

 

[gaijingirl]

I would like that print on a dark background. White or anything approaching white is just not an option for me.

 

[Looby]

I have that dress

Is it nice in the flesh? I'm just worried I'm way too fat and clumsy for such a pale dress?

Like gg, I'd much prefer it on a darker background.

 

[moose]

Well obv. I wear it with a lot of black accessories
To be honest, it's not a dress I wear when I'm feeling fat, as it's shaped with seaming all the way down the front, and does tend to cling a bit round the stomach. It's ok on days when boobs are bigger than belly. I bought it for a wedding, and have only worn it a few times, mainly because I'm not 100% sure about the white, and I keep meaning to take it up because it's quite long on me.

Hmmm cheers, might give it a miss then. Even if it doesn't go up it'll be 30 quid and every day is a fat day at the moment. My boobs are never bigger than belly (I've been robbed).

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Just bought myself this strange t-shirt as a reward for calling the Inland Revenue.

 

[May Kasahara]

Where from? Cos I need one.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Where from? Cos I need one.

From here in China. If you used a taobao agent and bought a load of stuff it might be worth while? Maybe.

 

[May Kasahara]

I dunno, that sounds like a lot of fun but...
