and

both from H&M. I really like the printed treggings, despite the stupid name - the print is lovely, they pull in my waist-lard quite well and are pretty comfy - but they ride down in the back every time I so much as nod And the pink ones are a gorgeous colour, much duskier than the picture suggests, but so skimpily cut in the waist. I fucking hate low waist jeans and trousers, they are frustrating and unflattering to the muffin-topped among us (i.e. me).

So the pink ones are going back, the print ones I am undecided on, and I continue my search for stylish, flattering trousers that actually come up to my belly button or higher.

I have found 'peg leg' and/or 'boyfriend' style trousers stay up well May Kasahara

New sunnies

But do they flatter the short, fat-arsed, big-thighed shopper?

Nice sunnies btw. You look hot (yes, in that way )

I like them because, by design, they accommodate shapely thighs, bum and belly. YMMV of course.

Thanks

My Fila order arrived today, and remarkably although I only ordered and paid for one pair which was a steal anyway at $19.99. I got another pair in the box gratis! Score.

 

[Callie]

ou est la shoes? je ne comprende pas boxes

I went for a binge in tkmaxx. 2 max studio jersey dresses for holiday, a navy linen top with ethnic-y embroidery round the neck, a linen striped shirt, navy silk shirt, three black vests and a black scoop neck tshirt.

I got a 100ml bottle of bright orange Crazy Colour which I'm gonna do a test with this weekend.

How many applications for short/medium hair will 100ml do, do you think? I'm thinking it might be two at a push but dunno.

Should do way more than 2! Crazy colour is the stuff from Sallys in the pink bottle aye(few yrs since I last bought any). I used to use it for the bit below my ears and I only bought it every so often, think my pony tail is way longer than your hair is it not?

One box on each foot, innit?

Here's the pair I actually ordered...

Here's the mysterious free pair that I didn't. I don't like them as much, but free is free yo.

Today I bought a black silk sparkly Jigsaw dress from the local hospice shop. £7.50. That's this years cocktail frock sorted

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Summer bag

New trainers. I thought they were just rip-off Converse, which was fine, but it turns out they're Shanghai Warriors, and have an illustrious shoemaking history, which is nice.

They have Chinese characters on the back too.

And finally, a new travel bag, of a sensible size, with zips. It's only taken me nearly ten years of flying back and forth to realise that I need a sensible bag which actually closes.

Well having done it at the weekend, I reckon there's probably only one more application in it! Maybe I used too much but I don't think so. It didn't come out bright orange but that's okay - it livened up my fading dye no end, and looked fucking ace tbh. Proper bright!

found these shoes at the charity shop - made by one of the northampton shoemakers (they are identical in construction to some much smaller crocket & jones i found in the same shop a few years ago). they're lovely anyway - the aged leather has an incredible tone to it.

I bought a lovely Jigsaw pink floral frock off ebay. It was a size 10. I'm a size 10. It was 2 bloody inches too small around my ribs Every other Jigsaw item I own is a size 10 and plenty big enough

[wayward bob]

(print is more pink than red, i appear to be matchy-matching with my hair again ) and the bottom shirt again in black with little white cats - it's a really flattering cut with buttons down the back

 

[wayward bob]

kid1 was admiring my trainers so i got her these on sale : thumbs :

 

[BoatieBird]

I love both of those pairs of shoes wayward bob

 

[wayward bob]

they're rocket dogs, brilliant after failing so dismally with converse cos they're too fucking narrow. i'd have both if i had kid-sized feet

Lovely.

I would love a tweed (is it tweed?) jacket but being the size I am I would so look like one of The Two Fat Ladies

It is indeed! I had a tweed harrington (with suede elbow patches *sigh* I loved that coat) when I was a size 20 and I don't think I looked like one of the two dead fat ladies
