well. most of my stuff came today. thought id update on what was worth keeping and what wasnt.
dress is a definite keeper - and a bargain at £20 in the sale. its shapely but not clingy, a lovely chunky knit, soft, and looks fab with thick tights and boots. The snood is detachable. I love it.
red scarf and
black scarf both keepers. totally dresses up the plainest of outfits. love them.
textured T in both black and cream keepers. lined. great quality. boring but nice under a cardi and with the scarves can be really dressed up.
sweater expensive for what it is but quite nice with dark blue jeans....going to keep it.
also keeping the mink chunky knit sweater - in the sale at £14 - will slob about the house with leggings and uggs!
also keeping an unlikely pair of skinny jeans in black with a jaquard print in grey....thought at first urrgh! but put them on with the black boxy tee, a cardi, some furry high heeled boots and a scarf and voila....all dressed up with no where to go! thought at £14 they were worth keeping as again in the sale.
am undecided about this cami its nice, but i would only wear it with a cardi over it. too much skin on show otherwise.....but it does skim rather than cling and the print is nice.
cardi not arrived yet but think i will probably keep it.....
Stuff going back....
sweater price is good but its not long enough on me - sits on the widest point and i look like a huge boxy sack of spuds....
shirt is going back - love the colour but it is a very shapeless baggy shirt and unless you are slim enough to tuck it into belted jeans or trousers it looks - well - shapeless and baggy. so thats going back. shame as it was half price.
tunic was foul! the high neck/collar made me look like the side of a bus. It was shapeless yet clingy at the same time - not at all flattering. shame as i liked the print....it seemed too long and boxy - not cut on the bias. didnt like it at all.
both pairs of ugg boots arrived and i love them both - didnt actually think i would but they are heavenly to wear and look much more stylish than i anticipated. as they cost me 50 odd each im going to keep both. bargains.
still going to go and try the tops on in monsoon, and id love a biker jacket, but think that might be me for now....
