This one

I had a hankering for a bright stripe and the cut and colour is lovely. Very flattering.

And it's nine quid.

Felt like sharing.

You'd look like a stick of rock.

I think you are going to need to change your name to Margot, Tethers. Glad it's made you happy though! I do like the colour though but wouldn't wear so much of it myself, as I like to be able to blend in!

Is it to wear on sports day?

Ah I bet you can pull it off somehow.

nevergoogle · 21/06/2011 20:23

nah, it's not doing it for me, although i did think of you and your brogues while checking out the shoe sales in edinburgh last week.

i bought a dress in tkmaxx at the weekend that most would hate. i bloody love it though. it's clements ribeiro and black with a bright pattern of fruit. bonkers.

TattyDevine · 21/06/2011 20:24

Oh I love Clements Ribero. I have a bonkers fringed bag from when fringed bags were all the rage.

Why does everyone say 70s like it's a bad thing?

I love 70s.

Margot it is.

usual, you know what I look like. This worries me.

It is not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Kewcumber · 21/06/2011 20:29

it's quite nice in a pink zebra kinda way.

L8rAllig8r · 21/06/2011 20:30

I tried to buy it but my iPhone died mid transaction and I really don't want to have to start again so I'm going to take it as a sign!

usualsuspect · 21/06/2011 20:31

you will look gorgeous ... the pink matches your eyes

IWouldNotCouldNotWithAGoat · 21/06/2011 20:32

Um...gosh!

Glad you're happy with it.

MadameCastafiore · 21/06/2011 20:36

There is a reason the 8 and 10 are sold out - because only women that small will look nice in it!

sungirltan · 21/06/2011 20:37

pink4ever · 21/06/2011 21:12

tethers-I dont believe it-I actually like something you have bought!

ShowOfHands · 21/06/2011 21:14

Well if you're wearing it so that I don't have to, then you have my heartfelt gratitude.

But I currently covet a cloche hat so what do I know?
