Oh I must order the mango jumper - think will get medium after the trauma of the shorts.

What patterned scarf - I'm all about the knitted at the moment. Link to oasis top please and did you see my hobbs buy?

While you're on a thread, MrsCB, you will be pleased to hear that no less than two people stopped me in town to enquire where the Toast biker was from.

The latest leather leggings were crap though. They are going back. Have decided to find coated skinnies instead.

Link to lace t shirt please?

Lots of nice scarves in TK Maxx at the mo. A lady stopped me in town yesterday to ask where mine was from!

mrscumberbatch · 25/10/2012 20:02

Oh I thought this was me!

But while I'm here... other MrsCB, wooly tweedy skirts that aren't too short?

They're a bloody staple every year but I can never find them in shops.

Ooh tartan...haven't had anything tartan for years. Used to live in little tartan minis when I first started teaching!

mrscumberbatch · 25/10/2012 22:00

Thankyou for the Next hint. I don't even bother looking there anymore after years of disappointment and I actually quite like their cord skirts as well.

Hopefully · 25/10/2012 22:04

Issima it a v warm brown, probably no good for summer at all. Sorry Sad

MaureenCognito · 25/10/2012 22:24

Next reassuringly still largely full if shite. But a bit less.

Jane norman wet look leggings great if they still do they are matt leather look and like a corset wore all winter last year and are so warm. Have a look at them if you can get past the union jack glitter dresses!

blondassassin · 25/10/2012 22:34

Hopefully how is the sizing on the Toast biker? I'm Autumn like you and really fancy trying it as a coat alternative on dry days. Not a fan of 'coat' coats IYKWIM!

MaureenCognito · 25/10/2012 22:36

Just tried the primark ones on. Pic on twitter. Are ok

OP posts:
noddyholder · 25/10/2012 23:22

What are they like? Can I see picture if I go to twitter ? I liked with jumpers although legs did look a bit liquorice like Shopping with ds tomorrow so may look

noddyholder · 25/10/2012 23:26

Mrs cb did you buy the Zara long wool coat with leather trim that I bought? Do you find it sheds like a poodle?

MrsCampbellBlack · 26/10/2012 06:57

Hopefully -yeay to compliments re. jacket. And how annoying re. leggings - I've seen loads of coated jeans around - some nice hudson dark red ones on my-wardrobe and 15% cashback with quidco at the moment and also other codes around.

Noddy - no I got the studded coat but thats rubbish re. shedding. I also read your post re leggings that you wore them a corset and was rapidly revising my image of you Wink

Maureen - I love tartan and have been thinking kilts - will have a look.
