Boden stuff for daughter in pre Xmas sale:
I am about to buy this https://boticca.com/ware/palm-necklace/11556/
It's the least bondage-y of her things.... I love the bondage look, but it may not go down well at work.....!
feeling a bit crap about my shape atm, my answer to which is almost always buy new undies. i may have gone a little overboard this time though
Having lost quite a bit of weight recently none of my bras fit me well at the moment, now a 34F wtf? Odd size which makes it harder to buy things I like ...I have spent some time today underwear shopping too....I LOVE those knickers!..buy them, buy it all they are things of beauty.
Good coat that, all the best coats are greenI bought an actual coat. I am disappointed with myself and the coat.

Just went shopping with my MIL who I could sort of tell wanted to buy me something (but she never says til you're at the point of payment). Anyway, we're in Browns in Gainsborough, which has East, Phase Eight, White Stuff and a couple of smaller "middle aged lady" brands.
I espy this, which I wasn't sure would fit (size 16) but is clearly gorgeous. MIL keeps hard-selling lots of high-neck A-line smocks and tunic dresses. In grey. Anyway, I try on the dress, which looks adorable, except it clearly needs a vest as it shows too much cleavage for work. I show MIL, with hand over cleavage. She looks me suspiciously up and down. I mention need for a vest. She makes me take my hand away, and then pulls face of horror and disgust. I mention the vest again.
On the way out she tries again to interest me in clothes with no shaping or tailoring between boobs and waist, and I realise that this is the root of her preferences/distaste. Well, that and she is disgusted by my weight.
Anyway, I love it and would've bought it anyway, but sure enough she pays for it at the checkout. Then I show it to my husband just now and she says, rolling her eyes, "I think you should just put some stitches in the neckline". I mention the vest again. She ignores me and looks disgusted.
Nice dress, though. It looks cuter on me. More full-skirted.

She had the cleavage alright and I think we need a photo to see just how wrong her mil isA size 16 woman would look amazing in that dress! Don't know what your MIL is on about. If you've got the cleavage, rock it.
