Item One - a 'going out' top with wear with midblue skinnies

Item Two - a going out top to wear with black skinnies

Must be cotton, silk or something and not polyester - must suit norks.

Item Three - black heeled shoe boots

Item Four - grey jumper dress, short enough to be mid thigh on a short-arse

Item/s Five and above - work top to wear with a black pencil skirt or black cigarette trousers

Thank you. :)

I have to say I don't like the second R&B shoes either, but I don't know your taste is so included a selection...

Revised budget suggestions:

Buffalo

Caprice

Oh Birmingham I thought maybe you were abroad! That Uniqlo grey jumper dress might be worth trying Mail Order, I've got it - it sits really well & it's really comfy.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/10/2013 21:40

Thanks. Like the first pair a lot but doubt I'd be able to walk in them as they are v high. Also - need a real shop.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/10/2013 21:45

Thanks again, Twinkle. No point trying ordering the dress online - I am awkward size/shape and ultra-fussy and I've given up on online orders unless it's something I've already tried on irl first. :)

Walking's over-rated...

going out top or one to wear with skinnies, I don't really get tops Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/10/2013 22:04

I like that, but too similar to ones I've already got tbh. I HATE shopping for tops, which is why I have a wardrobe full of skirts and jeans and nothing to wear with them. :)

grey dress

tethersend · 05/10/2013 22:06

Tops are a real fucker.

I don't do jeans, so always stick to blouses.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/10/2013 22:13

LOVE that - fear I may be too norky to get away with it though. It reminds me of being a skinny 17 year old in DMs. :)

I remember going out in one of my dad's not too dissimilar jumpers, tights and DMs Grin

tethersend · 05/10/2013 22:17

That was in reference to the grey dress, BTW- I like that black one.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/10/2013 22:20

Yes - it's nicer in black. There are a couple of black ones actually. Will investigate tomorrow.

I had giant jumpers knicked from then boyfriend, which always smelled of a mixture of fags and Lynx.

OP posts:
tethersend · 05/10/2013 22:41

Yy, fags, Lynx and BOY HORMONES Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/10/2013 22:43

He had a ponytail though...I was utterly in love.

He was a prat...but I kept the jumpers. :)

FauxFox - you've done well!

sometimes I go into shops and see lots of tops in un manmade fabrics and sometimes not...

I saw a trend online - lots of butterflies and florals and dark florals. when I looked too.

Thanks Faux. I like the dark floral Oasis one out of those, but don't really suit button up blouses, due to norkage.

Remus I feel your pain re button up blouses. would love to make them work but norks get in way!
