A Breton top, not too long and not too high necked, pref in grey and white stripes and good quality (ie not Gap!);

a pretty leather bracelet or cuff;

something to help my crappy nails grow;

a cute red cotton or silk day dress (needs to be quite subtle red, if that makes sense!) - don't want sexy or body-con, more Sandra Dee! :) I thought Joules or Dickens and Jones might have one but nothing found as yet.

Very (but it's orange)

Promod (although I like the printed one)

Tommy Hilfiger

Another very one

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2011 20:04

Oh dear. No to all of those, Tethers - sorry.

Sensible one

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2011 20:07

I like that one - it's a bit VW Monday dress! Need to be able to buy in town though, as I vary so much between sizes.

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2011 20:09

No to the sensible one - would be far too long and v v frumpy on busty little me!

I like the very one too. (I knew you didn't mean the sensible one Wink)

have you seen this silk Jaeger one?

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2011 20:16

Nope to Jaegar one - too dressy and too long for me.

What do you think to the red Scotty dog one in the Hobbs clearance bit?

Is this vile or just badly styled?

tethersend · 21/05/2011 20:22

I like the print on the scotty one, but I don't like the ruff round the neck. It's a bit Elizabethan jester...

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2011 20:22

Vile - and I say that as a sucker for a slightly Minnie Mouse look.

OP posts:
ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2011 20:23

Yes, I think the pleat neck would be sweet on somebody with a flat chest but not on me - could easily look a bit too oom pa pa Nancy-esque.

another red dress

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2011 20:51

Thanks Gin - still too structured and dressy.
