I thought I'd give the DP ones ago as they have a flash sale (again) but you can stack a couple of codes and get £1 delivery so brought them down to under £15. Worth a punt.

Love that sweatshirt in grey.

I managed to pick my black coated leggings from warehouse at debenhams in today's sale reduced from £42 to £32.70 for one day only. I like those tops Clure.

Thanks so much for the links Remus, I'm going to pop to Warehouse today. I get a nice student discount there as well

I bought the new look coated skinnies, I liked the warehouse ones but felt they were a bit too high waisted. I have worn it with this which drapes nicely
I have just bought this FC top in pink

I paid £26 for the warehouse ones from HOF so not much more than the DP ones

You need the suede autograph boots from m&s in navy if wearing indigo coated - maximum leg lengthening

Heels. Or heeled shoe boots. For le soir

I've been following this thread and am now seriously considering buying... however..what are you wearing on your feet? I get the slouchy jumpers/ tops/ layering etc.

coo the warehouse ones are a lot $ though aren't they?

Thank-you all for your replies and ideas. This is forum is great for different opinions.
The ones that I tried on were actually from Warehouse. They were quite flattering and a good fit. I do have some long blouses and tops to wear with them. So I will also be off to buy them tomorrow!

Hehehe mrs cb Lol at dp willy space! Hmmmm difficult choice between spare fabric at ankles ( short legs) and spare fabric at crotch!!! Ankles win, shall hide the folds with boots. Off to warehouse for black ones tomorrow....
River island have lovely ones with zips, I've got them in chocolate and I love them!

It's a pain - and I have yet to find anywhere else which meets my taste/price limit as much, so seem to have fewer and fewer tops in my wardrobe and therefore never have anything to wear!

Remus - so sad that warehouse don't do silk anymore. Used to get some lovely tops from there.

But if you're not fussy about fabric, they have some nice tops that will go with skinnies - in fact, most of them have been styled with skinnies.

Pmsl at 'room for a willy.'

Longish silk tops - generally these are from Warehouse and are sort of bum length. Unfortunately they seem to be doing fewer and fewer silk things nowadays.

I've also got a floaty sleeveless thing which isn't silk but comes to just below bum length and looks good with the skinnies and heels and a blazer.

Not silk but this shape nice under a blazer for going out

Or this sort of thing but minus the long bit at the back Again, not silk though.

They don't seem to have any silk ones now, which is v v annoying.

MrsC I am 47 and don't give 2 hoots

The warehouse ones are better than the DP ones I think. The DP ones appeared to have room for a willy.

And god - I'm now 40 and feeling sad at the number of threads about older people and they mean my age

remus if you return to this thread can you explain what you mean by longish silk tops, possibly by way of some links...?

I bought some coated skinny jeans today (oasis premium denim, 10 quid off, amazing btw) and would like to wear them to a party on sat night, but not sure what to put with them tops-wise... It's going to be hot in the venue so can't do sparkly knit wear.

I prefer the proper jeans I have zara ones and they aren't jeggings

I've got the Dorothy P ones, I wore them to a party this weekend with a slouchy black glittery jumper and high heels and looked ok fabulous!

I'm 52. If they suited me I'd wear them. I love Zara's coated ones and their shirts and jerseys and I see loads of women my age and older in there trying stuff on and looking amazing.

You're all crackers! You can wear whatever you want at you're tender age! I'm 50 I don't consider it time to start wearing twinset and pearls! Wear them and if you're a larger lady and they make them in your size, wear them! That's why THEY GO UP TO YOUR SIZE!

Why the ageism?

If something fits you, suits you and you like it - wear it.

The shorts are lovely.
