What kind of event is it?

What kind of stuff do you normally wear?

Any outfits you've seen that you like?

It is a masterclass then photos are being taken for a magazine. I only hope it is a small picture or I can hide behind someone.

I have lived in jeans for last year since son was born he is 17months now. I like dresses and boots.

I actually had a lovely jumper dress when I was pregnant. I was thinking wrap type dress or jumper dress and then use my existing boots which are brown.

Though I do have lots of shoes though they seem to be all black. I have some nice red leather shoe boots but I have No idea of what to wear with them.

not sure

A nice jumper dress with great boots would do the trick without having to hide Grin
Nothing too much but still stylish in an understated kind of way

Don't like the great plains very much tbh
The second link doesn't work for me.

cheap but would do?

or

more of a dress

If you're still looking for something later today, I can have another nose around later...have some work to do now ...

You mentioned you liked TM's dress. I'm sorry I can't link right now but if you go to the 'special offers' section on www.lkbennett.com and look under dresses, there's a polka dot dress very similar in all sizes heavily reduced to £95.
I bought a feathers dress in 100% silk on sale from phase 8 last week, perfect for opaques and heels, for£47.50. I can link later if you're interested.

The great plains one you lonked to is nice, but seems v short to me (although I am tall so that might be part of the problem!) Just think you may end feeling self conscious bending over etc unless you wore with leggings. Second link doesn't work.

nice and I think there is a 20% discount kicking round as well.

Feathers dress sounds wonderful as does the Polka dot dress. Thank you blossoming.

As mentioned I have many pairs of black shoes including some lovely new spanish shoes with contrasting heels.

I look like a corpse in grey unfortunately thanks for link though not yummy and not pocket

I did toy with some vanessa bruno mid rise wool shorts, wool tights and the red boots. A black silk blouse and then a short of red or black wrap coat/cape.

I tried to link to net a porter but it didn`t work re shorts.

fooey Karen Millen won`t link it was a black wool Miltary dress anyway !

Same price as the Hobbs dress £135 just thinking black all over might be too dowdy.

dress

quite a few nice ideas in the slide show

brookeslay · 27/10/2010 13:16

I like the first dress style not sure about colour. If it were in plums it would be sold.

In the slideshow the dress I liked seemed to have gone ! so typical
