( or too short? would have to try, model presumably amazonian)

yup , made son 3 go there today after various scintillating chores.

they are lovely but am busy hiding from H who would rightly say FFS YOU FREAK

Gah I just gave in and posted on a TATT - they didn't come her to give out with the usual "who buys a dress just for the SR?"

Not so keen on all the denim but liking the banana republic shoes.

I'm too much of an old gimmer to do the SR, DD doesn't want to be seen with me me to take her

Hush are great for this type of dress

polyester though

Is polyester bad in general or bad just for long term purchases?

UPDATE*
Can we forget I ever mentioned denim dresses. I looked like a giant walking square shape in them. Warehouse and miss self.

ON OTHER HAND the joules neon top is lovely. But I'm gutted to like something from there. Will try to remove labels.

Polyester in summer = sweat

Shame about the dresses, quite liked the Warehouse one.

What Joules top?

I love it. It looks casual and easy to wear as a mum, but says that "i have still got it" sexually.

eh?

The Matalan sandals are great noddy. Fantastic dupe!

That photo really IS all this summer's looks!

I am steering clear of all of those as I have the red hair already!

I'm going for this dress from Peacocks on ebay. It's going to do the job for the last 6ish weeks of the school run once DS3 is born and take me through the summer hols. I'm 5ft so it don't think it'll be a bum skimmer!

Which Joules top?

I like those sandals, Pomme - but not the fact that they are plastic.

Amber Thanks for the TS dress heads-up. I might try it on, but suspect it wouldn't suit me.

My latest buy Not a dress though!

lovely hat! Have you worn it yet?

Yup - wore it to the pub on Monday night, but it was a bit windy! :)

Tried on that stripey short sleeved jigsaw dress - very flattering on but really thick cotton, great for cooler days but too hot for summer.

you love what, Lucy?

this, another striped top www.joules.com/Women/Tops/Harbour/Womens-Striped-Jersey-Top/Neon-Multi?id=S_HARBOUR|NEONMLT
i need another like a hole in the head

Well, my last purchase was also..... a stripey top. (As I look at a drawer bursting with my best ever stripey tops...)
I bought this moderately over priced stripey top in - get this - this colour AND the red and (off)White one. Yeah yeah, I really needed them.

They have however, been crowned my best stripey tops ever.
