I have a bit of a love hate thing with this shop, mainly that I associate it with incredibly rude staff and chav teenagers BUT, today I was really impressed, got some amazing linen trousers for 15 quid, soo flattering and really comfortable. Really nice basic tops at 2 for £7 as well. Really reccommend to people on a budget right now, even though the staff were, as usual, pants!

I'll have you know I'm 22 Cod! And already I feel too old to be shopping there. But yes I did drool over the shoes The tops I got were just casual t shirts with buttoned fronts and collars, not usually my thing at all, but makes the norks look great

I love NL at the moment, I can't get enough of their long jersey tops. Its all so 80s there at the moment and I adore it.

Northerner · 20/02/2006 22:07

I've got those shoes but in green. I love New Look.

bossykate · 20/02/2006 22:09

i think new look is great - choose carefully and noone would ever spot where the best stuff comes from...

imho of course...

Beetroot · 20/02/2006 22:19

the long tops would suit you BK.

Hattie05 · 20/02/2006 22:22

Glad you're not doing pumps yet Cod - would hate to see them with your socks
