You were meant to have shrunk to a 10! My big stuff is 14s too, you're no good!

Psycho wears far too many jeans so I have oodles of them from her, but no skirts cos she don't do skirts. Gonna have to start buying my own clothes

Denim - my denim ones are all little... wasn't sure if I'd end up with a "trying to look 16" look. I'm only 25 fgs, when did I start worrying about being too old????

i just decided i wanted a new denim mini so went to yoox and found this startling outfit

desperateSCOUSEwife · 27/09/2006 10:58

if you are liking tights
why not just opt for the tunic/jumper dress over tights
more fashionable this year
or even wear them over jeans

desperateSCOUSEwife · 27/09/2006 11:00

tutter is that what they regard as a mini

looks like it is built at local shipbuilders

a mini is a mini

One of those 'skirt sites' made me laugh... It said "Come and look at out hot girls blah blah blah' so I did and omg they were all mingers!!! The only thing thats gonna raise in anyone is an eyebrow....

JackieNo · 27/09/2006 11:01

Will go tights shopping... thinking a few pairs of cool tights is gonna be a cheaper shopping spree than a load of skirts and jeans!

liking those sleeves (not)

i think a-line is a good skirt shape for most people, there are lots of nice retro prints around

bundle · 27/09/2006 11:13

tamba. those are hideous, without exception

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 27/09/2006 11:13

Tutter · 27/09/2006 11:14

Oooh I have one in a sort of mint green, the same shape as the last one. Alas, far too short for bending with crawling child

Likin them all really. I have to be wary of pleats on the bum... J-Lo bum (sticks out, not just a fat arse) and pleats go insane

desperateSCOUSEwife · 27/09/2006 11:19

Imo pleats on women who have scrawny legs make them look like they have 2 twigs in plantpots (legs)
