I plan to go mad too!

I've set my mind on some skinny jeans and some of those 80's boots.

What else should I be looking for?
Am about a size 10, got a bit of a jelly belly (its only been 3 weeks since giving birth though!), not particularly gifted in the nork dept but not tiny either and am only 24 so no flowery dresses!

Help!

well if you're set on skinny jeans and 80s boots I don't think there's anything I can do to help...

(get a good wool coat though - everyone should have one and it's meant to be cold this winter)
