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

I like camo have these which I wear loads surprisingly

I like those, Noddy. It's only camo trousers that I object to - find them a bit 8 year old boy. I have camo tights - they are disgusting, but I wear them sometimes just because I can!

I wouldn't wear the trousers but I do like them

Love shorts. Red though. So hard to match. Made that mistake before.
Remember those shoes nod. Weren't they ultra bargains?

Yes a fiver and I can walk in them they are not that high really They liven up some boring stuff

These are getting first outing today

Like the shorts but agree hard to wear? I love shorts
Thought the legs were excellent legs that should wear whatever whenever
Dislike the camo trews
Like the camo shoes but would have disregarded without seeing iykwim?
Where are they from noddy?

Love the shorts too but lined with polyester I think. Maybe could take lining out?

Are they? Missed that? How stupid.

I really like this:

I got a very nice denim dress from Baujken last year, it was belted and had a v neck so had a bit of shape to it.

Anyone got a Hush code??

Can I introduce a concept entirely new to me? Never mind the school run, it's the university run which you need to plan for. Your DD or DS will have strong opinions on what you wear when you take them at the start of term or collect them at the end.

Apparently you have to look old enough to be a sensible parent and not be trying to look like a student. On the other hand, you're not allowed to look frumpy It's also got to be practical and comfortable as you will be carrying heavy boxes and bags up and down stairs or in and out of lifts. You may also be spending an hour cleaning the mess left by other flatmates in the kitchen.

Far trickier than the school run imo.

Dancer - I tried on something similar to that recently. It was the most unflattering garment I have ever had on my body - made me look about a size 22 when I'm actually a 12.

Not had that problem, Middle. Skinnies and Converse seem to cover all bases and not raise the wrath of dd1.

Aha. Dune heels. More sensible at 7.5

Dancer I'd look like a chick in that dress or an Easter egg on legs

Agree re university, I work there twice a month and spend an age wondering what to wear.
Drop offs must be worse x 1000

is this a viable option, or too....ehm...German?

I'm going to give [[http://www.allsaints.com/women/dresses/allsaints-calla-shirt-dress/?colour=88&category=22 this]] a whirl
I am concerned it is a bit tabard

Hoover - I ADORE those Dune heels! I want them, but I know I will destroy them, and that's just too sad for such gorgeous shoes.

My parents didn't come to Uni when I was there, but that was in Australia, and I lived in the same city as the uni I went to. Hopefully it will be the same w the DDs - I'm not keen on the idea of forever dropping them off and picking them up. [lazy and selfish]

my favourite dress atm

Ronald I like that All Saints dress though it's on the short side... and for me, that colour won't work

Remus I know you were looking for tan sandals but how about these?. Nice, n'est-ce-pas? Some lovely things on that Finery site.

Lovely grey heels Eliz. Have similar from Office via Belinda, grey buy. So easy to wear. Love the grey.

Similar in sainos for £20

Lurking - I think somebody posted those earlier iirc.

Pretty - but not at all what I'm after.

Do people wear denim shorts in the summer btw? And, if yes, where from?

no. decided denim shorts aside from the beach were Not Chic on me
