Ruched jersey is comfortable and flattering.. Hell to iron though.

MissBeehiving · 12/10/2013 14:00

dammit perv I do like those boots but bought two dresses in the jaeger sale this week

no idea about gap sizing - drives me crazy

AmberNectarine · 12/10/2013 14:07

I really like that P8 top. May purchase. I liked the look of those Gap trews when I saw them in store, but I am chunky of thigh so probably best avoided.

PervCat · 12/10/2013 14:33

i just looked - one pair was a Us size 4 ( so a 8)
one was a us size 6 ( so a ten)

I am a marks and spencer 12 or sometimes 10

Recent purchases-

Vivien of Holloway circle skirt in pirate print-love it!
black Dolores top-Collectif
Polly Paddington skirt-Collectif. Lovely tartan pencil skirt that I plan to wear to death.
Violet skull print dress-Collectif. Very pretty and even though its light material I can wear it through winter with a cardigan and tights and it will still look good.

Need new boots now so if anyone see's any that have a vintage/retro feel then give me a shout please!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/10/2013 15:03

Ooh has Next actually got some nice things in? I like those boots and that grey jumper a lot.

I'm not pleased with anything right now - I went shopping today and disliked practically everything, everywhere. I am trying to buy something that isn't black - but the only things I like are black.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/10/2013 15:04

I lied. I have bought a couple of Whistles tube skirts lately. Love em.

BadSeedsAddict · 12/10/2013 15:09

Can anyone recommend some long tips for over leggings? Just ordered two pairs of Mint Velvet ones (saw them on MN!) in grey and black and don't have much to go over them apart from a very beautiful slouchy thing MIL got me. I'm a size 16 and have HH boobs so can't wear anything with a high neck!

BadSeedsAddict · 12/10/2013 15:09

*tops obviously Smile

PervCat · 12/10/2013 15:46

Right. Looked at phase eight. They only had the ecru in looks small. Didn't try.

Whoever wants knitwear for over treggings- that had masses of cool sloppy joe sweaters and cardigans.

I am very pleased with my Asos purple jersey dress and my White Stuff waterproof navy parka.
The dress is super flattering and the parka somehow manages to be warm, lightweight, fitting and practical all at once.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/10/2013 15:53

Will have a look, Perv. Don't need skirts though - have millions. I am desperate (DESPERATE, I tell you!) for tops.

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 12/10/2013 15:56

just got a navy drapey top from H&M and umming and ahing over whether to keep it.

BadSeedsAddict · 12/10/2013 16:04

Thanks PervCat (can't actually take you seriously after seeing you on the cat spray thread!).

PervCat · 12/10/2013 16:06

Lol. sprays against your leg

Pervcat I bought this from TK Maxx. I sized up to a medium for a lovely slouchy fit. Definitely enough room for a shirt beneath.

KeatsiePie · 12/10/2013 16:12

Love this sweater (have the gray striped one), wish they had more. www.express.com/clothing/striped+chiffon+lined+tulip+back+sweater/pro/9604724/cat2012 Looks good with everything.

BadSeedsAddict · 12/10/2013 16:55

Goodasitgets that is gorgeous! Is it fitted to your bust size or did you just buy it like that? Fitted tops never look right on my boobs, annoying.

PervCat · 12/10/2013 16:56

ujjayi - love the back of that
