Spend the kids inheritance on gravity defying-scaffolding like bras if you have norkage over 34c, unless you like the norks around the waist look.
And have them fitted properly.

Sleep with the men in the shops

I agree about the changing bag
I have a big pink printed bag which is big enough for everything
why why why didn't I think of that months ago
I hated that bloody thing with all the pockets
so dull

Some women look stylish in trainers. I don't. I need the heght of heelps I think (only 5'4'')

Totally depends on what you wear with them. Not leggings and a cable knit jumper.

Harpsi, I am guilty as charged re black bootlegs. I must own 6 pairs! Have bought brown, khaki, purpley pairs now to try and get away from black uniform look. (still need bootlegs or wide trousers due to broadness of beam)
