~~~~The All New Improved With Knobs On MN STYLE SHOP~~~~

[FrannyandZooey]

Come in, come in, we have gloriously sarcastic and opinionated staff waiting to serve you. Malory will never know as I have it on the best authority she is safely away for the week.

Who's first?

Where's GDG then?

mesh godet skirt PC?

HC, very nice choices - love the trophy neck top. Bit scared it'll play merry hell with people's eyes, but what the heck - they'll deserve that for trying to ogle my norks while feeding DS2 Am not skinny enough for short skirts or culottes (last wore those when I was about 9...) - I wouldn't inflict my legs on the world

Enid, I will join you in coveting those boots.

Actually, that leads me onto another subject. Shoes. I can NEVER find any to fit me. One foot half a size smaller than the other and they're bony as a bony thing so there's no "podge" to hold shoes on. I usually wear boots or trainers [ashamed] I wore silk boots to get married in...!

Galaxy dress PC? v this season and would suit your figure

That's tempting

And I can cadge a discount on Monsoon, Sister's sil is a manager in one.

Now, what shoes? My feet are size 6, they were a seven but shrank when I did (which is why I have to buy more clothes- keep shrinking you see)

hunker - dd2 loves to look at my small print top when she's latched on - it makes her LARF...

That dress is nice too- I'm in M&S tomorrow, will try it on.

Decisions, decisions!!!!!!

DH unfortunately likes the chavvy 18 year old skirt up her arse look, so no luck there!!!!

Hmmmm.

I LURVE these SHOES....

OK then you lot, what would you suggest for those of us that can only usually shop in Evans

monsoon goes up to bigger sizes and is great for those with pneaumatic figures
also East?
have you tried H&M Big and Beautiful?

No I didn't know that h and m went big

I have some very like that hc except with an ankle strap

I bought them a couple of years ago PURELY because they are black but inside the sole is bright silver

yes they do and they are cut MUCH more flatteringly than Evans
can't stand Evans tbh

they would be better with an ankle strap enid I think

Oooh I shall have to have a look then, thank-you

HC, I'd fall over spectacularly in those shoes. Every now and then, my right foot gives way and I stand on the top of it (really) - and it bloody hurts!

I can wear boots with little heels, but not shoes - I have to grip with my toes to keep them on and it makes walking very hard. Oh bloody hell, I sound like a shoe-incompetent mentalist now

got to go and write an essay
i will leave you with Enid and the Absent Franny....

hinker hmmm what sort would you like?
wedges?
to go with what outfit?
(those shoes for PC btw)

no not me am signing off

desperate housewives and a mug of horlicks beckon (dh away)

Really have no idea, HC

They're to be everyday-type shoes - I am living in the most ridiculous trainers atm and it's getting embarrassing. Even met MNers wearing them yesterday - fortunately had had the foresight to pack DS2 into a sling so they didn't notice my footwear...!

Any suggestions for a woman whose size 12 clothes are getting decidedly tight but can't seem to get her arse in gear to diet (and is, at this very moment, waiting for dh to return with a takeaway curry)? I refuse to buy anything in a size 14, having sold on ebay/given to charity all my size 14 (and above) clothes after I lost 3 stone...

Where has my willpower gone? Who's got it? I demand to know!

Ooh HC what are you doing having a shop, it's Malory that has a shop you know, she will be cross

So did you see my blue trouser conundrum the other day, they are still in the back of my wardrobe.

nice for casual?

bit smarter?

go to womens sports lassy oooh v nice in brown or black
