ffs

a pair of unworn vintage levis, looks like from the early 80s.

didn't need them did you?

This very cheap poppy dress for a wedding I'm going to in June

Lovely!!!

 

[Cloo]

I'm tempted by this People Tree dress I saw in a shop near work... may have to try it on to see if it works with baby bump, then buy from website where it's £10 cheaper

I'd never heard of them Cloo... I don't half want this hat (and the dress!): http://www.peopletree.co.uk/products/printed-swing-dress/

if you look through my posts on this thread, i expect a clear majority of them will include the a pair of jeans somewhere...

I really like People Tree, some of it is a but mumsy (sorry cloo I know you're a mum ) but it's well made and feels nice on the skin. I got some of their goodie bags last year

Killer b!!! What you should have got was some cowboy boots

 

[killer b]

got some already. i don't really need more than one pair...

 

[spanglechick]

unlike jeans.

How many pairs of jeans do you have, killer b?

 

[Cloo]

I've never yet bought any People Tree, it's a bit above what I usually pay, although OK in the sales.

I was leaning towards just buying a cheapass maxi dress somewhere, but sometimes I do fancy just treating myself to something a bit nicer!

 

[killer b]

about 25 i think. maybe a few more.

 

[TruXta]

Speaking of jeans, where's best for cheap and cheerful ones that don't look absolutely cack? In London, for a bloke. I'm thinking Uniqlo...

 

[killer b]

yep, uniqlo are the way forward i reckon. how cheap though?

i was in h&m the other day and their basic £10 jeans don't look too bad. i'm not about to buy a pair to find out though, haven't the closet space...

 

[TruXta]

I was thinking the sub-30 range. Fuck it, I'll go down to Uniqlo then. Not that far off anyways.

 

[Callie]

I tried on a nice blue, flowery avec coral belt long top/short dress in new look today. It did very strange things to my boobs so I left it in the shop.

I also tried on a nice cottony blue dress in monsoon which had way too much material on the bottom half and looked really odd so that also stayed in the shop.

So I got some new mascara and some perfume. I used to always go and buy music if I'd had a shopping failure experience, it looks like accessories/make up are taking its place these day.

their slim-fits are all £25 this week, if that's what you're after.

 

[wtfftw]

make up ftw callie.

 

[Biddlybee]

I got the same shirt as suchandsuch and a summer top with poppies all over it

Got a straight fit one for 30. I'm too old for slim fit. Not to mention skinny fit. I thought that was so 2008 anyway?

 

[killer b]

i think the slim fit is still fairly hip. or it's come back in, i dunno... the fashion wheel spins very fast atm.

 

[TruXta]

I remember it was all the rage among the cognoscenti back in 2005, so yeah, maybe it's back again.

 

[killer b]

ooh, i really like some of the blue note collab t-shirts at uniqlo atm... may have to purchase after payday.

oh I like that - do let me know when you get it what you think... also sizing small or large side? I wouldn't mind having yet another pretty dress that sits in my wardrobe that I never actually wear... (along with all those high heels).

 

[moose]

It's arrived but I haven't had time to try it on yet - will let you know tomorrow.

In the meantime, I can't stop bloody shopping. I don't often do pink, but I'm a sucker for a butterfly print!

Shirt twins Have you worn it yet? How is under bust seaming work for you?

I've tried it on but not worn it out - underbust seaming works for me, but I wear it untucked

And this is nice too:

Love the cut of this dress

 

[such and such]

I hate to ask a really personal question but are you aahhh, top heavy at all? My lady lumps are the only thing that make me wonder about the shirt. And I guess I'll try it untucked when it arrives

 

[Biddlybee]

No, I am most definitely bottom heavy - small boobs

oh and this is the poppy top I got...

 

[such and such]

Thanks for that biddly. My breasts are not very small and humble so time will tell if the shirt fits
I like the poppy top, very pretty

[crustychick]

i'm thinking of getting this for my nephew's christening it's not until August, but my dress-buying-fingers are twitching
