Has anyone seen a loose summer dress, a tan bag that isn't leather and has no branding, and knows what I can do with my hair?

[spiderswilldescend]

Just a quick list really . . .

I saw a woman yesterday who was lovely - she seemed my height and weight (5ft 4", 12/14) but looked a million times better. I don't even know what to search to find the dress she was wearing - I've trawled a few sites, but nothing yet. It was just below her knees, very loose, patterned, quite deep v front, not sleeveless as such but the looseness of it it may have meant it was (if that makes sense). She had a tan and flat sandals and just looked great. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

I'm also looking for a slouchy tan bag, non leather, no obvious branding, silvery rather than gold buckles etc if they're seen. TK Maxx had a few but just as I'd get excited, I'd turn them round and they'd all have a name on them .

Last thing at the moment - my hair used to be naturally crinkly, not curls as such, but I'd just wash, scrunch with some product and it would be lovely. Of course, I hated it then so I GHDed the buggery out of it. Now, I want it back. If I spend ages, ladle products on, blow dry with a diffuser, I can sort of get it OK, but after a while, the ends stick out straight and it just doesn't last. I've tried Curly Girl Method but I was never a proper curly girl to start with, so that's not working. Would - whisper it - a 'loose perm' be a terrible thing to get me back on track? Have they changed since I was young?

Many, many thanks for any words of wisdom.

Also this Plumo dress

Anything like this? £10 from tkmaxx a couple of weeks ago. They had loads.

That Plumo one is the closest shape by far (without the tie belt) - but far too expensive and not the right colour.

I'm keeping you all from the sunshine aren't I? but !

any good?

I tried that kimono on yesterday. It was beautiful on the hanger but cut very strangely, coming in at the bottom, so I found it very unflattering on.

I just saw this

Not quite the thing tethersend .

That's nice margaritas but I'd wear that with opaques rather than flitting about in the sun (which will have gone by the time I find this bloody dress). . .
