New jeans, new top, new boots - need a bit more than £50 methinks

I would go to French Connection - there is loads in there I really like at the moment (it wouldn't go far though).

ScreamandYellowFeathers · 16/10/2006 18:56

The jeans are called slouch theyre on the first page of the jeans section on the website, cant do links because it is a flash site

The top is a Rolling Stones one

Would look great with those jeans and boots

MellowMonsta · 16/10/2006 19:01

Scream&Yellow - where did you buy your boots? Are they little ones?

ScreamandYellowFeathers · 16/10/2006 19:32

Yep, I've seen those ones WB. They're really nice.

Quick question -who gave you £50 and why? [wink}

marymillington · 16/10/2006 19:35

Hat, gloves, suede gloves
Or a great funky handbag

covenoveneer · 16/10/2006 19:36

the reason I ask .

Well its what I've made on ebay from selling some maternity bits, so you could look at it in the same light.
Had to do the business to buy maternity clothes in the first place

THink I'd go for 10 bottles of wine to deal with the next time and hopefully a rate increase!

riab · 16/10/2006 19:50

I'd feel too guilty to spend it on myself, but if pushed it would probably be 2 days extra childcare so I could sleep

expatinscotland · 16/10/2006 19:51

a cashmere jumper - half off at a local kilt maker.

Cappuccino · 16/10/2006 19:51

i'd dither around and put it in the bank

and dither for another few months, whilst constantly complaining that I had no clothes

ScreamandYellowFeathers · 16/10/2006 19:54

Good one Riab.

Lol Cappuccino.

Being very dull, I would buy a new maternity swimming cossie and 2 pairs of maternity p.j.s

But the chances of me doing anything that would warrant the £50 are pretty slim to be honest so it's unlikely anyway
