Deal on onesies.

#justsayin'

Hmmm.

1. They've got a 'christmas' pattern.

2. They look like they're made of velour.

3. No fucking pockets

4. £4.99 for delivery??

PANTS

Is this an appropriate time to set up a dedicated "onesie" thread so that all onesie-related chat can be concentrated there and the rest of us can focus on the wider range of clothing available/those of you seemingly obsessed by onesies can enjoy your thing undisturbed?

Winter pattern

More fluffy than your mountain warehouse ones


No pockets is shit

I noticed the delivery charge after posting

That and pocket put me of

 

[Orang Utan]

My pyjamas are too thin and they have only useless back pockets.
Mind you, if I did have proper pockets, they would fall down if I put anything in them.

Still a christmas pattern, you can't fool me

How do you KNOW they're fluffier?

 

[Ms T]

Four pairs of thermal socks from Uniqlo. Rock and roll.
Plus a denim shirt, a mustard-gold merino jumper and a cashmere-blend bobble hat.
Winter, do your worst.

 

[monsterbunny]

Anyone that wears four pairs of anything gets respect from me.

 

[gentlegreen]

Mules are like marmite.

IME, the foot slips with no heel support. You have to scrunch your toes to compensate for them falling off. I'd go for fleece lined moccasins. More like a gentle indoors trainer.

Now they sound very Ray Mears.

A thread for selfies of onesies ?

Disappointingly, they're from Marks & Spencers. Ray wouldn't give them the fluff from his Swanndri bush shirt.

Here it is!

A thread for selfies of onesies ?

You will see from the first post that I have included your suggestion in the description of the thread.

It never occured to me that anyone could be so depraved as to post a picture of themself in a onesie anywhere, but now that there is a specific place for such monstrousities, the rest of us can continue to browse other threads safe in the knowledge that we won't be surprised by such things unawares

I tried the jumper on and now I have become a caricature of a librarian:

 

[moonsi til]

Very Nice OU..

I bought some Bare Minerals foundation, X2 stretch mini bodycon cotton dresses, a xmas t-shirt with a robin onower the front, X2 Fenjal classic sprays & Fenjal shower gel. I adore the Fenjal classic range but only buy it when it's on offer and today it was a 1/3 off.

 

[Shirl]

Not clothes but slap. All my slap is running out at the same time. On Monday I bought YSL mascara, Dior tinted moisturiser and Dior lip balm. I'm skint now but I also need a new eyebrow pencil thingy from Clinique and eyeliner. I can't afford to buy any more slap til next month now so I'll be going out with no eyebrows for a week or two
My slap used to run out at respectable intervals, I don't know how this sudden lack of everything has happened.

 

[Ms T]

Eyebrow pencil is the one item of slap I never need, luckily! Can you not buy a cheap eyebrow pencil to tide you over?

 

[zenie]

I use a brown eyeshadow and a wet brush for my eyebrows....it gives you a much better shape and is less harsh ime. Experiment Shirl

I am hugely impressed with the bare minerals sample I got....if I hadn't gone and got some No 7 bits the other week (tinted moisturiser and natural foundation) I'd get one when I got paid.

Am thinking of dyeing my hair this week purple? Maybe a wig would be safer?

 

[spanglechick]

Purple fades like a cunt. But if you are up for the maintenance it would look awesome.

 

[Greebo]

AFAIK your hair's in pretty good condition and not that long, you could probably get away with purple.

I've got a tiny bit left of the clinique and if that runs out I will use a soft lead pencil, I've done it before

 

[Shirl]

I'm not sure what product the last purple was that I had put on my hair. It was fabulous at the start but as you say it fades fast. This one turned to blue though and the blue lasted for weeks, I really liked it.

I dye my eyebrows using dyelure permanent mascara. Scary the first time, but quick and easy and lasts weeks

Ooh. I've recently converted to blinc brow mousse because it lasts all day, but this is even more tempting.

Use Vaseline under your brows for a really clean shape: leave it on for less time then reapply rather than leave it on too long and then have a too dark result. I do it every month, takes 15 minutes. Didn't do it in the first few weeks post Mantito and didn't feel like myself...

 

[Orang Utan]

Just bought some tweedy keks to complete the Wes Anderson extra look (courtesy fogbat )
I have some elbow patches that need sewing onto the jacket too, but I think I will stop short of the waistcoat and watch

 

[May Kasahara]

I've never felt so lucky to have thick black eyebrows The most they need is regular tweezing to stop them growing down to my lashline.

I don't mind the fade...am a bit worried about it staining stuff as red always seems to 'bleed' out of your hair for weeks!

AFAIK your hair's in pretty good condition and not that long, you could probably get away with purple.

Yeh I think I'd have to bleach it first...then the maintenance is a pain cos I am terrible at doing roots

Did you mix a peroxide solution first? And do you know anything about bleach baths?

I used to have really thick brows, plucking the shit out of them as a teenager changed all that!

 

[Shirl]

My eyebrows have got thinner as I've got older and I not got much left in the way of eyebrows so I need to infill with something.

 

[Shirl]

I don't think it was mixed with peroxide but I didn't do it, I get it done at work. I can ask on Saturday though what she used.
As for bleach baths, I had one a while back but it should only be done if the hair can take it. I get my hair cut often and it wasn't heavily processed but the bleach bath left some of the longer hair a stretchy. She only did it because I nagged her to as I wanted to be black blonde fast.

Me too! I didn't realise until recently that a lot of people fill their brows in. I have mine threaded, but only a few times a year as they don't seem to grow very much anymore. They are also quite a bit darker than my hair, which is weird.

Atypical double impulseish buy at House of Fraser at lunchtime, as I finally found jumpers that fit nicely (ie, not so tight it sits on my lumpy bits, not so chunky I just get lost in it) and aren't itchy.

The blue one has a leopard print on the collar

continuing in my quest to look like the eighties were sick on me

I will now make this my fashion mantra.
