Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

BLACK CARDIS AGAIN - OPINIONS PLS

(43 Posts)
sorry didn't realise caps lock, can't bothered to change now - apols for shouting

this

or DKNY thing

am thinking:
splendid looks longer at back and shorter at front thann cozy - good thing - more bum coverage, less annoying front flappage

half the price

machine wash rather than dry clean

what do you think

That's such a good idea. I'm tall(ish) though so I guess it would only work with short sleeved things?

Rosa, I'm an 8/10, and the jacket XXL(age 13 I think) jacket fits, but the same size in the jumper was very baggy. I am short though, only 5'3".

Actually I buy quite a lot of basics in kids depts, much cheaper! Age 12-13 in mini boden fits me fine, I got lovely breton t-shirts there last year, and a gorgeous gold cardigan in the last sale.

There has to be some advantage to being small smile

Verity....it never occurred to me that you could get clothes in gap kids. What size are you in adult clothing? What does age 13 equate to roughly? Size 8?
... and cream!
There were loads of cozys at Bicester today and they have been reduced from £99 to £69. They had black, grey, beige, navy and blue.

Thanks! I love it, it has made such a difference to my life! <shallow emoticon>

Was thinking of you today, tried on grey cashmere hoodie in Gapkids, pretty gorgeous, pockets, stitching at elbows, only 65 pounds, but the grey did nothing for me. I can so see you in it though! The 10-11 fitted me fine, it goes up to 13 I think.

How's life with 3? I'm sure your loving it!

Got to go to bed, will have circles under my eyes tomorrow!
My other guru! You've been pushing me in the direction of the cozy for ages too VB- thank you!

Not sure whether you saw my msg on the other thread but very very pleased for you about your coat smile

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
