[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Last bit of clothes shopping for a while, bought these for my friend's wedding.

 

[Frances Lengel]

Yu_Gi_Oh Are those shoes cork?

Yu_Gi_Oh Are those shoes cork?

Yes, I think so!

 

[Biddlybee]

I bought a dress (only £15 ), hopefully it'll fit me in the summer (nothing else I've got bloody will )

 

[BoatieBird]

What's the print Biddlybee?
Looks like parrots?

I bought some yoga trousers and a sweatshirt this morning.
I've been wearing the same worn out stuff for yoga for years now so I thought it was about time

 

[Biddlybee]

parrots, peacocks, kingfishers and possibly a couple of others...

 

[BoatieBird]

That's lovely Biddlybee

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Tis very beautiful Bee.

My gold trainers with wings arrived. They're genuine! They have a few tiny flaws so must be seconds, but for £10 I really don't care, they are far, far nicer than I was expecting.

 

[Greebo]

Another 3 shrugs (dark brown, silver grey, and purple) in the hope that there's ever enough sun this year for my arms to burn.

 

[sleaterkinney]

New trainers, the red ones

 

[Cloo]

La Redoute managed to tempt me with 25% off/free postage for a limited period:

Trousers which should come out full length on me, hopefully suitable for work, but fine if they're not, as I need more casual trousers too - can't really tell until I put them on. Can only find tiny pic, but it's a sort of abstract squiggly b/w print.

Wherever he is, he should be arrested for wearing them.

 

[Cloo]

Just got these DM brogues. Bit expensive, but they are cute and I NEED them.

Ooh, I'd like something like that for work

They're still really stiff. I've been wearing them around the house to break them in. (They go lovely with PJs, I must say...)

 

[Red Cat]

As these are from Clarks they're obviously a bit more boring but I've wanted them for a while now and I had an interview. I really like them.

 

[killer b]

how are they boring? brogues are blatantly the best type of shoe...

I meant compared to the DM brogues. I think I just feel a bit embarrassed that on the rare occasion I buy anything other than another pair of Converse, I do so from Clarks

 

[killer b]

the girls range in clarks is really good, nothing to be embarrassed about. shame the vast majority of the blokes shoes make your feet look like potatoes though

 

[kalidarkone]

Got these today from a charity shop for 10 quid!!! Hardly worn and the right size. Also got some other clothes none of which fit so they will go in the size to aspire to section of my wardrobe

A lot of my favourite shoes are from Clarks all leather and well made

 

[Orang Utan]

New jacket. If only I could wear this get up for work.

 

[spanglechick]

It's nice, that. Could you wear it with a tie? Or does it have to be a suit?

 

[Orang Utan]

Can you wear a tie with that sort of jacket? I'm new to all this! I think it has to be a suit, but I may see if I can get away with it next term

 

[spanglechick]

Yup. You'd call that a sports jacket. At our school the male staff wear collar and tie with suit-style trouses but only have to put on their jackets for formal occasions (assembly, meeting parents etc). They therefore keep one jacket in school which often doesn't exactly match. a sports jacket is just a tailored suit-style jacket with lapels and suit-style pockets, but which isn't designed to be worn with matching trousers. It's like a blazer, but blazers generally have a patch pocket on the breast and sides, and associations of uniform.

 

[Orang Utan]

Right, I get ya. Ta! I don't like wearing a shirt without something over it, so will persevere with a jacket or a sweater (if I can get away with it). Dunno what I'll do when it gets warmer though

 

[killer b]

tank top.
