Size 12. Short arse. Like mini-ish dreses, ideally with short or three quarter sleeves. Real shops not ASOS etc. Not Vivienne of Holloway etc. Dark colours. Less than £70.

Thank you. :)

Oasis bargain

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2013 19:54

Tweed one is gorgeous - I love it. But not party-ish enough: I'd wear it to work.

Quite like the Oasis one but would need to investigate irl.

Thank you.

Bump?

Or shall I fall back on skinnies? In which case I need a lovely top and some new shoes! Grin

RedPencilPot · 23/11/2013 20:41

RedPencilPot · 23/11/2013 20:42

Oops, just sae you needed sleeves!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2013 20:44

Thanks, red. We haven't got a Tesco that does clothes anyway. Neither are my thing tbh, sorry, but thanks for looking.

Hola Remus. I know you're not keen on zara but anything like this?
Or this?

Or what about the very sparkly Coast top on Amber's blog?

lurkingaround · 23/11/2013 20:59

Velvet and lace? A bit high on the neckline maybe.

southeastastra · 23/11/2013 21:01

do you like sequins? i really like \link{http://www.oasis-stores.com/sequin-wrap-dress/dresses/oasis/fcp-product/3170122717\this} seen in rl looks so nice

lurkingaround · 23/11/2013 21:02

Oh look! A denim jumpsuit!!! That has to be not a very comfy outfit. Apologies the tangent, but sitting here on sofa, chatting with you all Hmm Grin

southeastastra · 23/11/2013 21:05

i like that jumpsuit Blush

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2013 21:09

Christ on a bike - that jumpsuit is hideous!

Any opinions on this skirt?

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2013 21:10

Quite like the Oasis one but sequins on my norks prob no good tbh.

V nice southeast.
I love love the neckline on this dress.

lurkingaround · 23/11/2013 21:17

Oh I love that M&S skirt. Saw it in store on Friday, thought it very nice indeed.
Yes, shocking jumpsuit! Uncomfortable and hideous.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2013 21:19

Thank you. What kind of top do you reckon would work with it?

OP posts:
Pinupgirl · 23/11/2013 21:28

Skirt is actually not too bad considering its m&s but I fear that every 2nd women will be wearing something very similar so you are not going to stand out from the crowd.

lurkingaround · 23/11/2013 21:38

A matt silky semi fitted top? You know I'm going to link Zara so I will refrain.... Wink Something like the Whistles sculptured top?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2013 21:41

The problem is that I hate polyester tops. I do have a black silk t-shirt. That might work?

Pinup - Most of the women are likely to be in LK Bennet-esque dresses, I should think, so a mini skirt would be a bit different. I don't really want to 'stand out,' just not look an idiot.

OP posts:
DaftSkunk · 23/11/2013 21:49

The M&S skirt is nice. The jumpsuit reminds me of a mechanic's overalls and now all I can think of is Phil Mitchell in a denim jumpsuit Confused Grin.

lurkingaround · 23/11/2013 22:03

Black silk t would be great. Perfect.Dressy but not OTT. Let the skirt talk. High shoes/ankle boots. Done.

Last Zara link I promise. this top and a leather skirt something like this faux leather skirt. In case you run out of ideas. Hmm more like an excuse for online shopping
