Ha ha - I am going to my do in a cream blouse and silky tap shorts!

Not dull - but possibly not age-appropriate either.

Which Mint V one - some lovely stuff in the Windsor shop last week

I too saw gorgeous stuff in Windsor Mint Velvet last week.

Wanted something for Christmas parties but bought this for some reason. Going to wear it on Boxing Day to a neighbour's lunch thing.

Humph. Bollocks to person is what I say.
If it ain't broke.
Price per wear is everything too.

noddyholder · 11/12/2011 14:00

Not worth the money. It looks t shirty in the picture but it is more shiny than that this? I wear the same things all the time i think its ok ????What about your glittery skirt and a new top
