zenie / ShiftyBagLady / anyone else who's interested - I got the leggings from here (some other sizes in stock here). zenie if you mean the pics on the leggings it's rainbows and unicorns, I'll try to take a picture of it.

The size chart on the website is right - they're compression leggings for sports so the sizes come up small.
I fucked up. I showed that picture to my sister who needs training gear for roller-derby. First thing she said was 'Have you bought me an Xmas present yet?'

I have. :(

Already spent my Xmas budget but I might have to stretch to two presents. :cool:
 
One pair of Birkenstock clogs to give my Birki cat clogs a break. 2 pairs of wicked stripy leggings, 1 pair of flappy genie grey trousers, 1 thin green skirt and a green jersey tunic ish top from Gudrun Sjoden. Bloody nice shop that. They make brews next to the changing room for the friends and family of shoppers. And I got a lovely fabric GS bag too. Apart from the odd binge at Primark that's the most clothes I've bought in yonks. Their sizing is far more generous than I thought they'd be.

Plus the Kipling bags sale binge online last week which have slowly been turning up. I have found as I get older I don't object to paying a teeth sucking amount for something if I know my price per use will end up being pence as opposed to much cheapness buys worn once. Common sense innit I suppose.

I'd never heard of Gudrun Sjoden but just looked at their site.. and inevetiably fallen in love with a top there.. it's pretty pricey but gorgeous. I might have to go and visit it - I've got a birthday coming up... ;)

I think Cloo is a fan. I found the GS site when I was looking for Lagenlook clothes but I've always been nervous about ordering the clothes cos I wasn't sure of size and the cost without knowing how good they are. I had meant to go but ended trying to find the Birki shop first and stumbled on that instead. I did spend a lot and am aware I might get too small for it, here's hoping, but you can get almost 100% of your money by selling on on eBay.
 
I'd not heard of lagenlook either - not as pricey.. taking a lagenlook at their site right now.. all window shopping..
Lagenlook is just code for "I like to wear lots of random clothes at once to detract from lumps and bumps". Or "I'm old and want to look like Dame Judi Dench" ;)
 
My new Corporal Cora skirt just arrived from Collectif. I wanted one a couple of years ago, then my size sold out. Just got it from their ebay store for £10 instead of £30. It does a reasonable job of holding my lumps and bumps in and looks really good with the Collectif shirt I bought a few years ago that none of my other clothes work with (and which seems to now fit me) and my favourite shoes which I was happy to discover still kind of fit me. I need to go out somewhere soon where I can wear the full ensemble (and someone to drive me as I don't think I can walk far in the shoes). I'm very happy though, and have more goodies coming soon.
