no to top and no to shoes

what about these?

gregssausageroll · 27/08/2011 19:34

quite like the shoes but an 8 might be too big.

If I play it safe, I also quite liked this but I may just be getting desparate!

Agree with others - all lovely but not keen on the top.

Thanks tilly. Not keen on the monsoon one. Like the second one but only goes to a 16.

I will be back to anyone else posting. DS is off to bed and then I am getting my dinner!

The top is horrible, sorry. Not sure about the shoes either but the blazer is v nice and the general idea is good. How about a grey drape-neck top and some grey shoe-boots?

Tillyscoutsmum · 27/08/2011 20:11

How about this one ??

or this ??

Ohhh, very nice! Capsule wardrobe-tastic. I'd still go for a plainer top with the rather lovely blazer though, somewhere in the white/grey/black spectrum.

brighthair · 27/08/2011 23:13

Oh you enablers, have just ordered the blazer Grin what is the sizing like? Am size 16 but v large of chest
