You managed to buy something made of cotton??? Amazing!

Well yes and no. The outside's cotton, the inside slip thing is most definitely not. However I have a cotton one I will be inserting.

I bought a black skirt with many pockets (which I hardly ever have on anything!), to one of which I will attach a 'Hooligirl' embroidered patch I got at a punk gig in Berlin. Also this top http://tinyurl.com/qebavqq
Ignore the fact Claire Sweeney's in it.

promise you'll never hold your hair while doing sorority arm like that. It makes my right hook itch

My arm isn't long enough for the extreme width of my hair, unfortunately

New undies today...not on,y did the fuckers leave the security tag on but I think the bra is too big. It's my usual size. FML

 

[Cloo]

Bought this dress on sale for the little girl:

Also some stripey towelling shorts which she might need for her summer activity camp thing.

 

[gaijingirl]

I would like that dress for me..

 

[Cloo]

Yeah, I'm a bit jealous, too.

 

[Greebo]

More of an acquisition (inherited) than a purchase. 18 ct gold, platinum shoulders and setting, the stones are probably diamonds. Made some time between the wars, possibly a remake using an older ring.

 

[Me76]

Two maxi skirts, one blue and one black.

Well it could be arranged...

I bought these today and thought I'd post here because if any of you other ladies are slim then they'll probably fit you, zenie, Agent Sparrow girasol. I went with 13+/161 cm and they were £6!! The age 12s were slightly too tight but if you're a 34 hip they'd probably be ok. I've been buying teen wear from here for years

I got a pair of white ones from Primark a few weeks ago - they were £10! I love them. My hip is 37 so too wide for teen wear!

 

[zoooo]

I'm the right height and maturity for teenwear, but alas, too wide.

 

[Greebo]

Butterfly motif bling in, quelle surprise, silver.

 

[Greebo]

I also got a 15cm hair stick, carved out of buffalo horn, with the end shaped like a phoenix.

three rather lovely wool jumpers from GenuineScottishKnits on fleabay - a reddy/burnt orange/russet heavyweight 90% wool-10% silk one,

a heavyweight stone 100% wool,

and a lighterweight dark blue Sheltand wool jumper that can be worn in conditions not found on South Georgia...

all 3 came in at about £35 each, the quality of both the wool and the production is simply superb, and the fit is generous - the contact details indicate they are made by Esk Valley knitwear, who somehow manage to sell jumpers for £350...

very impressed actually, certainly one of the better purchaces i've mde, and i'd recommend them. combined postage was very reasonable as well.

i love jumpers - and, apparently, absolutely huge images...

Glen Esk isn't that far from me. The butterflies are lovely Greebo

i got an unexpected windfall and fuck all in my wardrobe fits atm, so i went on a spree

 

[killer b]

nice work bob. lovely.

there was a vintage fair cum music festival on the park today - usually vintage fairs are shit for blokes, but on this occasion i found 1950s dress shirt for £3!

I just had to buy new underwear- nursing underwear is desperately ugly. People keep saying 'oh, you won't care' but I've always loved beautiful lingerie... It really offends me to spend good money on stuff like this

(And there are beautiful nursing bras out there, i know- but sadly not in 34H (!) )

 

[Plumdaff]

Have you tried Hot Milk? I got a relatively pretty nursing bra from them in an F or a G cup. I think I've blanked how ridiculous those measurements got!

 

[wayward bob]

hotmilk go up to a 34h as do others...

http://www.figleaves.com/uk/ranges/...oductcolour=&bboost=&gender=&rating=undefined

i wouldn't say hotmilk are supportive enough for general wear (at that size) but fine for the occasional bit of pretty i used to work as a maternity/nursing bra fitter and royce are the ones my boss stocked for best support at larger cup sizes (she was around a 32g iirc)

You have my sympathy. Nursing bras are on a par with mastectomy bras when it comes to being ugly and looking like wartime granny wear

These but in tan.

I like them but I'm a bit concerned about the stuffed ham problem plus I realised I could have leopard print havaianas or be halfway to some Birkenstocks which are probably far more comfortable.

Hmmm

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

A parasol. Yes, yes I am a dweeb GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

Ooh I would love this as an outfit. Perfect for a lazy day in a meadow. *looks around for nearest meadow

Where from?!

 

[Manter]

Brixtonites: TKMaxx had a delivery of lingerie today and some of it is gorgeous. (None in my slightly terrifying size ) Suggest a quick look if anyone is passing

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Where from?!

Ebay
There are some nice lace Victorian style ones but I've gone for a plain white silky thing as it will look spiffing with my sunburn and freckles.

 

[longdog]

I'm still stocking up for winter. Flying jacket £100, night urban hoodie £15.
