All sounds terrifying

My handbag days are long gone

What about a brightly coloured changing bag? Hmm

Do I need to invest in a copy of HEAT?

nautical? presumably blue and white stripey tops rather than great big sailor dresses a la Laura Ashley in the 80s!!!

By the way I have been doing amazingly well

I have tossed out all my ugly clothes

I have bought squillions of layerable tops and some nice trousers and jeans

I have bought some of those Ravello Duo boots that were recommended to me

And I have bought lots of new pants

Am wearing actual OUTFITS

I'm always pushing a pram

I've bought a reasonably nice small leather backpack though

But how does one CARRY a handbag with a pram without some bastard nicking it?

I LOVE new pants

Lots of brightly printed big ones from M&S

SO nice to see a splash of bright pink over the trousers during one's breastfeeding moments

3/4 lengths trousers
wedges demi! ie lower than the platform versions.
metallic something preferable shoes
stripes are in but only if of reasonable shape not to look like a bar code

then what ever u feel comnfortable in!

I thought white jeans were in this season. Not a fashion officianado (?) so could be way out.
Great for mums I would have thought....not ha ha

dh bought me a lovely blue print top (kimono style belt, little buttons down the front and long to wear over jeans) from Oasis on saturday, but can't find it in their poncey site
very pretty and feminine yet practical as soon as spring is here of course.........

do not want to see another gipsy skirt though PLEASE!!!!

harpsichordcarrier · 16/01/2006 20:34

gypsy skirts why why why???

harpsichordcarrier · 16/01/2006 20:35
