[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Finally found a suit for work in Next. It's been frustratingly hard trying to find somewhere with a good selection of trouser suits, but Next actually had loads.

I can't find a front view of the trousers for some reason.

And these boots from Clarks.

Fell for another pair of Docs...

Actually, I've been falling for them for about 6 months but finally decided to celebrate my return to the world of solid food and am going to wear them to my next hospital appointment next week. Something to cheer me up on the way...and hopefully on the way back too.

 

[Shirl]

New shoes, they're black although the photo makes them look navy. Rundholz shoes and clothes are always exaggerated and the front of these shoes are extended at least two inches beyond the end of my toes yet they are my size and fit perfectly.

This necklace. It's made of rubber and incredibly tactile and I adore it

 

[Biddlybee]

Some teeny tiny gold hoops for every day since I lost one of my hot air balloons they were so fiddly to get in I may never take them out again.

A black wrap dress with flowers on.

A shiny shirt.

Some dungarees I'm not sure about (the search continues).

oh no

 

[Biddlybee]

Where's your haul from sheothebudworths?

This necklace. It's made of rubber and incredibly tactile and I adore it

When I first scrolled down the page I thought this was part of sheo's haul and was going to tag you because I thought you'd love it. I'm glad my instincts are good, even if I can't read

oh no

I know. I'm still half hoping I'll find it in the tent or my sleeping bag but realistically I think it's gone. The company that made it seems to have gone bust and all the others available aren't as nice

You know me well!

It's from here... Shop Forever 21 for the latest trends and the best deals | Forever 21

They do kids stuff as well! Last time I got my girl this (burgers )

and this

They have a paper plane sweatshirt I nearly bought myself, too, but I don't really do white

Btw, I found it after Googling a dinosaur sweatshirt I saw Tina from Eastenders wearing, lol

There's a £5 off voucher if you sign up for the email listing (and students get 10% off everything).

 

[sheothebudworths]

Also Biddlybee - look through the sale stuff, too! It's very badly organised but lots of very cheap stuff (all of MY stuff was from that section ). Since you can't browse that bit with anything more specific than for eg 'clothing', I just put it into price order in my size and went through every page until I couldn't be arsed to look any more

 

[Biddlybee]

The paper plane sweatshirt is nice

That is so cute!!

 

[purenarcotic]

There's a Forever 21 shop in Brum and it makes me feel old as it's all bright white lights and loud music and shiny tiles. Good stuff though, just shit shop layout for those of us with rubbish eyes.

 

[killer b]

I virtuously took a big bag of shoes to the chazzer, and my virtue was rewarded when I found there a pair of unworn black uniqlo selvedge jeans, and these awesome converse...

 

[Manter]

Biddlybee yes I think so. It has printing on it by too faded for me to read

 

[May Kasahara]

I love all of those things sheothebudworths

My latest purchase:

Love at first try <sigh>

 

[Biddlybee]

Nice

New work shoes. Need polishing first. Had to do the laces properly too.

View attachment 100210Had to do the laces properly too.

First thing I do with Docs is whip the laces out and redo them in an appropriate manner for the number of eyelets and fit required. #lacegeek

 

[mx wcfc]

In the shop I always make a scene of completely undoing the silly crissy crossy lacing that appears to be "in" at the moment and redoing the properly. Everytime I see a youngster with a really lovely pair of docs ruined by incorrect lacing I want to pin them to the wall and scream at them to lace them up properly. I am getting worried that one day I will. #lacefascist

 

[moose]

Criss-cross lacing has its place, for example when a pair of boots are very new, it sometimes help all them tighten easier than straight lacing, but I always revert to Straight Easy Lacing or Straight Bar Lacing

I honestly had no idea that there were websites dedicated to lacing. I've booked marked that and I'm going to have fun.

what's your view on visible tongue? How much space between the two sides of leather that hold the eyelets? Should we move this to the shoe addiction thread?

 

[moose]

Ha ha! Depends on the boot. I've have a pair of 14 hole Docs where I've just covered the tongue with leopard print velour, so I want to show a little bit more of that than normal. Generally I like a narrow strip of tongue, and I hate it when the two sides meet in the middle.

There's a shoe addiction thread?

Enjoy the lacing site - changed my life

I hate straight lacing. First thing I do is always relace with criss cross

Oh dear, and there was me thinking you were sound on shoe matters. The two sides must always meet in the middle when wearing smart shoes. Same is true of most of my DMs.
