Not suggesting you actually buy those pieces, btw...just an idea thing :)

Hmmm, need more info... what size/shape are you? What colour hair? What's your budget? Any part of your body you want to hide/show off?

Tethers Have commented before how I admire your ability to find stuff to suit the op's request. Well impressed again, loving that Oasis number, might even go for it myself! You could be a stylist!

I just have a very empty life

The Oasis one is lovely, isn't it? I'm the wrong shape for it unfortunately.

if you did want to look a bit more (but please don't feel you have to i suit/like bright colours, but not orange.
