Oooh, lovely, I've got those. Careful on winter pavements though, they can be a bit slippy.

my mate did start singing 'Ring Of Fire' by Johnny Cash when I walked in last week.

They hum this when I go past. I hope it's because of my black clothes.

Aubergine Ralph Lauren Polo corduroy trousers
Tawny Port Samsoe & Samsoe wool crew neck jumper/sweater (is there a difference?)

Sweater is a vile word used by Americans to mean jumper, because they are wrong. If an American person says jumper they mean pinafore /overalls bizarrely.

Why do we never say jersey any more, I'm sure that was the main word used when I was little.

ETA the term sweater also encompasses cardigans, which is further proof of the wrongness of Americans, ie pullover and cardigan are subsets of sweater.

I'm going to say about 60 to 70 quid a month, although it varies wildly depending on my job prospects. Only spent a tenner last month as I thought I might be out of work, for example. Job contract extended? Spend spend spend! You get the picture. I think of it as a hobby as well and sell a fair bit on Ebay to try and recoup some losses.

My sympathies, Herr Voley! First thing I did when my P.I.P award was confirmed, was order a couple of pairs of gaberdine jeans, to replace other gaberdine jeans which are a bit "clown trousers" on me now. Come the summer, I may be trawling ebay for an out-of-season bargain in the shape of a crombie/covert coat, and ordering some bespoke shirts from my favourite Thai sweatshop (if my sewing machine skills extended as far as machining together shirts, I'd do 'em myself, but I'm at a strictly "take up hems" level!).

New waistcoat, handmade by a guy here in Birmingham. Only makes one or two in each size. I'm slightly in love with it

When I saw the pic, "Shang-a-lang" by the Bay City Rollers started playing on my internal jukebox.

Wonder Woman!

 

[Cloo]

Tired of not having enough jumpers, saw this one half price on La Redoute and ordered; like the print, colours and shape, plus it's not made of anything that'll give me hives:

[Sapphireblue]

new boots fit!

 

[felixthecat]

I bought a new handbag. I think I'm a bit in love with it...

 

[Sapphireblue]

i tried some pikolinos boots before the ones above. they were so comfy in that they had cushioned soles but they were just too narrow. stupid wide feet.

Those are gorgeous. I don't wear heels but would be after a pair if I did. I love the coloured threads.

 

[Sapphireblue]

shoe shopping is so frustrating for me. i love shoes, especially anything a bit different but i have wide feet and i can't walk in shoes with a medium heel that don't have a strap, my heels just pop out all the time as my feet are quite short.

the rieker stuff looks like a good brand though. lots of colourful stuff. debenhams.

 

[Mogden]

moose and other DM fans in the upper parts of the country. New shop opening in Derby. Not sure how long it will last here but it'll be cool for a while.

Dr Marten's to open new shop in Derby

 

[felixthecat]

New shoes and new underwear...

 

[weepiper]

Unionist trainers


I had a pair of these ages ago and wore them to death, so pleased to have got some again. They're suede and much comfier than standard Converse.

A couple of Holy Grail cheap sleeveless tops from H&M to show off the tattoo but not my bony middle-aged cleavage, one in black and one in grey

also a long-sleeved t-shirt which I can't find a picture of from H&M that has an allover bicycle print which clearly I had to have. And about 50 quids' worth of various underwear from Marks and Sparks who were conveniently having a sale

 

[May Kasahara]

Love those trainers weepiper, do they have more cushion than Converse? I need some new ones but can't wear Converse anymore as the thin soles give me joint pain

I was going to ask almost exactly the same thing.

 

[Looby]

Love those trainers. I've got some leather converse which I love lots but they rub so I can't wear them without socks. I might have to buy some hideous trainer socks for summer.

They do lovely shirts don't they? I've got a couple by Charles Tyrwhitt for work, too. Herringbone. Very nice. You can get em cheap on Ebay quite regularly. Hackett do really good ones, too. Very pricey new but Ebay's good second hand. I've got a light blue twill double cuff one that is my best interview shirt.

 

[moonsi til]

I'm thinking to buy these:

Bought these for a friends 40th b'day (we club together for big ones)...

Rocketdog have some in a converse-style, on sale atm, not sure about cushioning though.
