there's nothing like matching underwear.

i've finally lost all the baby weight and thought i'd treat myself.

Northerner · 20/05/2006 19:56

Welsh borris - your purchases sound lovely.

I will look out for that top on my next visit to Primark

I love polka dots. I have some cullote crop jeans and I love them.

WelshBoris · 20/05/2006 20:00

boris, i'm off shopping sunday and monday with my ma for a summer wardrobe (I've sold all my size 14 clothes!!) a bit older and fatter than you.. what would you suggest?

WelshBoris · 20/05/2006 20:14

Long vests. cover a multitude of sins and are v.cheap in New Look and Dotty Ps

White linen trousers, can be worn in day or night always look good can brighten up any outfit

Shirt dress, can be worn on its own, over linen trousers jeans or black trousers for work. Theyre everywhere try on a few to see what suits you

Spots are big, dont wear them all over youll look like youve got measles. Just a top or maybe a headband? Even a scarf in your jeans as a belt would work

Erm, for jeans loads of cropped ones around, again try them on to see what suits you and what you feel comfortable in. No good buying them if you feel conscious.

Next have some nice stuff too
