noddyholder · 08/02/2011 12:02

Gorgeous presentation and some really nice pieces. I like the look of the grey leather skirt although it's pricey. I think it could be practical with kids as you could just wipe it down when they smear you with food/snot. :)

nice presentation, i suspect you could get more or less the same look at h&m for half the price. esp. the trousers.

I like their desgins generally but find the dresses come up REALLY short (am tall though)

noddyholder · 08/02/2011 15:37

H and M much more cheapy feel though.Doesn't really last ime although like the jeans

I love it too & want it all!

Am mad about French Connection, great quality and I wear everything I buy there over and over. In fact I am wearing a FC dress now that is at least 3 years old.

noddyholder · 08/02/2011 20:37

I am going to get a few bits for the summer.Esp like the drapey grecian top and trousers and the tailored white short with the striped bib shirt.

DuplicitousBitch · 08/02/2011 20:41

snigger @ 'short', i still think it is just overpriced h&m. i don't think the quality is that fantastic

noddyholder · 08/02/2011 20:41

i did mean to say shorts!Slip of the keyboard sounds sad Grin

noddyholder · 08/02/2011 20:42

I have a few bits that have really lasted.I like the wide black trousers and collarless shirt too.

i dont find the stores welcoming
i think a large silent hooter goes off behing the scenes

" nervous over 35 year old has entered"

DuplicitousBitch · 08/02/2011 20:43

i once bought a skirt in there cos the sales assistant looked at me in askance and said 'but would YOU wear it?'

noddyholder · 08/02/2011 20:43

The one in brighton is quite full of oldies!I think it is too expensive for the rest of town which is mainly bloody students who frankly look good in anything

OP posts:
SixtyFootDoll · 08/02/2011 20:44

I like it all, am strangely drawn to the white pleated skirt

muddleduck · 08/02/2011 20:44

I bought loads from fc last year.

It has all washed v badly.

DuplicitousBitch · 08/02/2011 20:45

noddyholder · 08/02/2011 20:46
