Has Finbar started a thread on this? I posted on a thread about gpwhat to wear for a waggy wedding, saying that I think you bling up the accessories, but stick to your own style for your dress. Else you will feel so uncomfortable.

she has, you are right. I just need to prod her more. ( lovingly)

Loving prods - ha!

Are joking re big fat gypsy sequin dress!? Please say yes. Please.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 23/04/2014 21:06

Although... French Connection have a great navy sequin dress on eBay that's quite foxy but also chic. Worth buying occasion dresses on eBay as people often wear them once and then eBay them.

Oh, ok, now I properly get the joke Grin. It's lovely. www.frenchconnection.com/product/71BIC/Romany+Sequin+Flared+Dress.htm?search_keywords=Romany

I don't work in an office but have the Gap modern boot cut trousers and they are brilliant. Look somehow more modern than skinnies and very flattering Only look good with heels though.

Legologgo · 24/04/2014 17:37

The shoes are TOO BIG. GRR. And they don't do a 5.5. The matching bag (quality plastic ) is nice though

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/04/2014 17:43

Shame. I tried the Kendra on but they only had leather, no suede - and 4s were too big but 3 and a half too small. My shoe quest continues. :(

Legologgo · 24/04/2014 17:49

Grr for you too

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/04/2014 17:52

Grrr indeed.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/04/2014 17:52

I did buy the M&S flippy skirt though - it's lovely.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 24/04/2014 20:42

I have to say, it bugs me when shoe manufacturers don't do half sizes. They are needed, so make them. Aldo is the worst, and I can't really buy more closed shoes from them, as 39 is a little too small, but 40 is big on me. I'm not happy to just buy a big insole.

Btw I bought the Office Kitten pointed flats. Loving how they look but they do pinch / rub a little on my foot knuckles, you know, those two points at the sides of your feet that can go all buniony and nasty if you mistreat your feet?

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 24/04/2014 20:42

Gigi's news on M&S flippy skirt.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 24/04/2014 20:43

Good news, obv, not Gigi's. iPads are appalling, in some ways.
