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

I gave all my stripes to charity shop in a fit of im too busty for these and have still managed to buy another!

I don't wear stripy tops much now, other than one Hobbs one, but I still absolutely love my stripy Whistles tube skirt Here.

That's nice Remus. I have a weird Whistles one in grey and black, thin vertical stripes with a horizontal stripe panel. I like it but always feel like Miss Hardbroom from The Worst Witch in it.

god we need a self help group

Pointless to remove labels, Elizabeth: the top is a sign/label in itself.
It is nice, though.
John Lewis Weekend Collection has some really lovely striped tops. There's a green striped one I want but can't justify, owing to having too many stripes already.

Am trying to avoid investigating Topshop weird backwards sleeves I think I would like it and the black version too.

I also have a stripe problem.

christ Cat - I am glad you said that. Am increasingly liking collection in JL
am becoming old lady

I like your J Crew lurking.

Joules is a slippery slope to Dash

Are these in blush the naff east thing you have ever seen or could I buy?

I bought this and it is nice, v naice actually! knockers & all

Also these although my feet may look like haggis

RONALD NO!!

i am over that kind of ankle boot myself - havent you twenty pairs Ronald?

Kin stuff never is nice in Rl - its an odd brand

i have ordered the lacey up shoes

Think they are due today altho i am out... will report in tomorrow

I just ordered that t shirt greenstone. Looks good

The lace up shoes are good Inhave Hobbs ones which I love I like the ankle boots esp that colour

Btw carvela shoes I posted earlier came Keeping them such a bargain and could wear all day and look good not ugly at all!

I've got 2 prisoner cell block H denim dresses because they're so easy to chuck on. But they were a bit short and had unflattering necklines for my boobage.

So I have bought some lovely contrast material for a longer hem, and I am having the necklines altered. They aren't ready yet, I'm soooo excited!

Ooh alma do report back

I do have boooots x 1000 but I like the colour. Am undecided
That kin dress is nice actuerally and surprisingly

Noddy I have ordered some of those chinos from gap in a smaller size due to lack of arseage etc - I have high in the sky apple pie hopes

I like those boots, but not in pink.

I also really like the lace up shoes but not in any of the colours they do. Stupid Johnny - surely it's obvious that they'd be brilliant in black or grey?

I bought a new top in The White Company last week here and dp announced that he doesn't like it and it looks, 'Like an old lady tunic.' Hey ho.

Love that in the black.

Haven't worn yet ronald but its bloody freezing here!
