I need:

  1. A gold jumper, preferably lurex, size 14/16


  1. Some wedge/platform black suede ankle boots, not too high on the wedge, more platform IYSWIM, size 8. Must be comfy.


  1. A really nice long sleeved blouse with black as the main colour- print/pattern fine.


Budget not top end. In fact, the cheaper the better.

Help!

I love this blouse but it's very sheer, could put vest top underneath though?

I like the sleeves, but not the neck... and it is a bit sheer, you're right.

thanks though.

They have some rather nice gold jumpers in Zara at the moment - not sure if they're lurex but they're a medium-chunky knit and very metallic looking, almost as if they've been painted with gold paint. Haven't been able to find them on the website though I'm afraid. They have a lot of black blouses in at the moment too...

How about these boots? I tried them on the other day - they were quite flattering and v comfy but I don't know if they're the look you were going for?

Oooh, will check out zara, thanks.

Should have said, I don't want lace up boots, sorry- just zip up or chelsea style.

Clarks have a nice wedge boot. Rushing out the door but I am sure it is by Mary what'shername.

Oooh, replies!

Hot Burrito, I really like that jumper... had wanted a more 'goldy' one IYSWIM, but think I may have to get that one too.

Tapsel, that's the style of boot I'm after- prefer zip, but chelsea good too. Unfortunately those ones are a bit too high- I really want more of a platform than a wedge IYSWIM. Although I do like the HoH ones... The KG ones are beautiful, but again, too high; or not enough platform at the front. Nine West ones are not for me.

Thanks for looking Smile

Also, is 41 definitely an 8? I ordered 41 shoes from next once and they were a 7 Confused

Why tethersend, that's perfect!

You are amazing. In fact, I'm pretty sure you're a genius who's not appreciated in your own time.

That is a fab jumper tethersend.

I'm feeling irritated because I was scouring the internet yesterday for brown knee length boots and saw some black ankle boots that I think would be perfect, but can't remember which of the zillions of sights they were on!! Unhelpful I know.

AWimba, did you at least find brown knee boots?

Next 41 shoes = 7
Next 42 = 8

Sometimes they do 43 = 9

These were the boots, not as I remembered, I was sure they had a thicker wedged sole.

I did and didn't, I found some I loved in Russell and Bromley today, but they were £325 Shock. So no I haven't found them yet.

Thanks MissB, but the lovely tethersend found me the perfect gold jumper upthread. She's so amazing.

Not keen on those boots I'm afraid AWimba. But at least they're not £325 Wink
