If you are looking for variety, cheap and fast check out Dorothy Perkins using a code I found on another thread I just ordered some clothes to be delivered tomorrow.

The code for the express shippng is below:

To get the free shipping as well as the 25% off, select nominated day delivery, it will show £5 delivery charge. Then enter DPCHOSEN12

you can also find code for 25% off.

Can't work out if this is nice or horrid, but it is grey: Hobbs NW3?

FritziGreenEyes · 23/02/2012 16:02

How about pencil skirt, top and blazer. You could take blazer off for evening do?

It is quite nice but again there would be the tum problem. It would look like I had giftwrapped my (non-existent) pregnancy

Bit boring but nice colour

miaowmix · 23/02/2012 16:06

Ok, this may be more flattering? also Hobbs NW3

miaowmix · 23/02/2012 16:07

That was meant to be NW3 Bentham Dress
I am similar size but a bit taller Smile so I share your pain!

FritziGreenEyes · 23/02/2012 16:13

Boden in navy, also in petite size. Throw cardi or blazer (I know, I know...) on during the day and take off in the evening. It is not that hard Wink

FritziGreenEyes · 23/02/2012 16:17

I know you need the dress first, but would kitten heels be ok for shoes?

here or here in patent

tethersend · 23/02/2012 16:21

Hello you Smile

How about:

  1. Hobbs
  1. and again
  1. Phase eight
  1. and again
  1. and thrice
  1. jaeger
  1. and again
  1. and thrice
  1. Damsel in a dress

Any good?

miaowmix · 23/02/2012 16:21

Fritzi I love those LK Bennett shoes.
Is this a bit mental? Not sure what it will do for the tum department but I quite like it banana republic stripey

I quite like the stripes but I would feel the need to roam the savannah

Classic wrap dress

noddyholder · 23/02/2012 16:30
