Bare I think bill

But using my old trusty This Works leg oil. Expensive but good

Still first pair then - although second pair says jacquard too but doesn't look as shiny?

plus lol at dry clean - i dont think so..

Both pairs lovely with bare legs I wouldn't do opaques think it makes shorts look studenty Oil on bare legs nicer

plus bloody hell i shoved the indigo collection lace t in the dryer and I think it has shrunk marginally...

If anyone is near a Marks today, it has sold out in a 14 online :(

I am there tomorrow will look

i would be grateful. This is still ok, I think but not quite as long

ooh look at this pink skirt

Love that length

I like the first pair of shorts - I am waiting for a code and then I will try them too. Not sure that a Gap code will work for BR, though. When when WHEN is the next BR code? I've had Gap codes a-plenty, but I want BR.

When I am next near a M&S I will look for you. If you get desperate, if you can get them to find one in central London, I can pick it up for you - just PM me if you want to do this.

I saw that Zara skirt online - pretty, but sleek.

Re pointed flats, they make me feet look longer than ballets do,but I don't care as I really like them. I wore round toe ballets yesterday and, pretty much, frowned when I looked down. I'm not superficial, no, not deep down [paraphrasing Ava Gardner]

Glad the Perspex heels worked out - they do look good!

yes I agree although tbf I did say gap/br I think
its been AGES

( and thanks!)

i think i should retry flat and pointy, I only did those next ones that were the Boden dupes and they didnt fit my skeletal feet.
In the 80s pointy was the way all good grammar school goths went

I find the slightly pointy slipper ones easier

I'll be in town later today, so will have a look for you.

Love both pairs of BR shorts but the first pair win for me - personally I'd only wear shorts with opaques at night time in Britain, but that's because a) I still am a bit of a student at heart and b) my legs are very white and a bit wobbly at the top of the thighs.

I talked myself out of wearing shorts last night though - opaques felt all wrong for the sunshine. There was a woman in the pub (v young and slim) wearing leggings with Luke Skywalker on them - dp seemed unreasonably fascinated!

leggings with luke skywalker on?
all kinds of wrong
btw i tried that Marks leading ladies cream blouse yesterday.

1. its a dirty cream
2. the inverted pleat type thing at the front didnt suit

The leggings were insane but dp couldn't keep his eyes off them. Strange man.

DH had Star Wars bed linen. One of the first things that left the building when I moved in (we were obvs young way back then). I certainly wouldn't be wearing sci fi.

Inverted pleats can be so cruel.

Remers - any news on shoes? Did you order any?>

Well today IS Star Wars day. May the 4th be with you and all that.

Nice leopard print slippers from Dune: www.dunelondon.com/limbo-leopard-print-pony-slipper-shoe-0076500620005488/

yup

Like those a lot

I am going to wear mine today for a change.

Your luke sky walker leggings?

Yes with my ponyskin slippers ;)
