Silky blouses?

27 replies

TrillianAstra · 24/01/2011 13:05

Anyone seen any nice ones?

Doesn't have to be real silk or anything. Cheap is fine. It's just a whim.

(inspired by some TV show that people were banging on about the other day)

Watching with interest. In my head I picture donning said blouse and pencil skirt and becoming a glamorpuss sexpot a la Zen.

So it will need to be a magic blouse, please.

Yes, I want to wear silk blouses, pencil skirts and heels.

I am an Italian Love Goddess in the making, with the aid of spanx, if you squint your eyes up.

TrillianAstra · 24/01/2011 14:07

So do any stylish ladies know where we can find some?

Oooh, thank you.

The red one looks to be silk but not silkY, weirdly.

La Redoute appears to be seethough - I can see her trousers through it.

I like the Trinny & Susannah ones.

Not keen on the military of the coast one, but did like the gold.

Here?

TrillianAstra · 24/01/2011 18:50

Wow, bargain!

TheGoddessBlossom · 24/01/2011 18:52

I've got a lovely purple one from next, wear it loads with black suits and under grey dresses.

TrillianAstra · 24/01/2011 18:52

Doesn't seem to have any size 10s though. I do like the cream/oyster colour.

Am I going to end up looking 50?

laredoute again

tethersend · 24/01/2011 19:03

Pricy but lovely

TheGoddessBlossom · 24/01/2011 20:56

Cool I've just ordered 3 blouses from tesco, 2 12s and a 10. Can usually wear a 12 no probs.

SilverSixpence · 24/01/2011 23:15

Some pretty and bargainous things on the Jigsaw Ebay outlet
grey
blue

DreamsInBinary · 25/01/2011 09:29

Love the second asos one, the tesco one (will be stocking up) and that Jigsaw one.

Just need a pair of vertiginous heels and I'll be away Smile

DreamsInBinary · 25/01/2011 09:31

Trillian is about 22, tall and size 10, so can make anything look cool.

Can those of us in our mid-thirties pull off the look without looking like a 1950's hotel receptionist?

tethersend · 25/01/2011 12:17

Of course we can. It's my staple work outfit.

Although Waitrose refused to sell me cigarettes yesterday because I didn't have any ID Confused

I'm not sure what that means.

TrillianAstra · 25/01/2011 16:31

22? Thanks DiB. :)

So, anyone seen any cream or oyster or mother-of-pearl ones or are they all coloured?

OP posts:
DreamsInBinary · 25/01/2011 18:09

Am off to tesco and will report back on tether's bargain find shortly.

DreamsInBinary · 25/01/2011 20:26

Well, my local (enormous) tesco only had it in leopard print, which is a little va-va-voom for both me and my workplace.

Looked rather nice, though.

TheGoddessBlossom · 27/01/2011 16:12

it is - just took delivery! will feel very daring at work in it tomorrow!Grin
