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

News. Uniqlo have their cardigan jacket in again. Think soft blazer.

I like short sleeved knits but agree it's a close run thing between grace kelly and granny.

Masses of nice stuff in Zara but was with teen boys so no time to dawdle. Was a pretty ivory lace top dress thing. will I never learn

Okay - so how do I make sure it looks Grace & not Gran then? I was wearing it with black opaques, a black tube mini skirt, a black top layered under it, boots and a silver and black necklace. I thought it looked quite nice!

oh i dunno. I fancy myself in them but can look matronly - maybe its the bust?
Black ones with a close fit and a red lipstick etc can look a bit Beatnik in a good way

Beatnik I can (and usually do) do! Will probably have to do my usual thing of shoving a biker over it, to nip in the waist and hide norkage a bit!

I am the same look frumpy on me

I like that too Remus. However I would look like a tank in it.

I see Finery has 25% off today. Did you try on that dress noddy? This one

forgot the code. EASTER25

I like how the blue one is being worn here with shorts. Would be comfortable on hot days, I think (days when nobody cares about looking like a tank!).

my sons bought up half of uniqlo. INcl s1 bought WHITE SHORTS

i love the square look too. I just look like a square IN it.
THe boden oversize t is a bit like that till you size down

Square look so easily turns to tank territory on me (hips/thighs doncha know). I love it tho.

Yes would be lovely on hot days.

I love a school-run-dress thread, even though I haven't done a school run since 2008!

I can only do that look with a wide neckline

Me neither thenightsky - my dd drives me around now!

www.johnlewis.com/kin-by-john-lewis-square-sleeve-cotton-jersey-top/p1816143?colour=Black I like this. Has anyone seen it?

Not seen it irl, Noddy. Looks good though.

That Finery dress is lovely! And cheap, I thought they were a pricey shop.

Saw a striped t shirt dress In uniqlo. Had an epiphany moment that I was just too old.

like that top noddy but milady says that they are a rubbish brand

Oh dirty Ronald. No I didn't mean that. I just find myself it looks good online but never world in rl. For me

Sorry not dirty.

On the other hand. After taking millions of parcels back to the post office. Look. Annoyingly I love them. Birthday next month. Might keep hidden for h to give me.

My friend has the finery dress I tried it on wrong size but lovely material and shape.
