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

Lighthouse, sheesh you don't get it do you.

Before we go any further can I just check if lm allowed to wear leggings with dresses/tunics this year. please say yes, please say yes

mammuzzamia, it's going to be even better in the sale!

Though I'm personally more of a floral person. Looks fab & nicely dressed down with the denim jacket.

Never

Who's flaming?

It's hardly a clique to invite people to come and talk about dresses!

ChocolateEgg - wear what you want, but personally I think no to leggings.

Is this a thread full of 12 year olds. Saying what people should and shouldn't wear. Wear what you all like. Walk round in s bin bag or a ball gown for all I care.

She's lost it.

lighthouse don't be rude it's style and beauty of course people to comment on clothes and no one told anyone they can't wear anything. It's a discussion people will have opinions including you difference is others have better manners.

The school run dress is s king of mumsbet leitmotif. It appears every year. You need to understand it to opine.

Every year we get people like lighthouse who don't. They stumble into the thread and shout a bit. We nod politely and carry on our hunt for this most elusive of fashion items

Eh? You don't care what we wear? You don't care that I might look dated if I wear leggings? Why are you even posting on this thread Lighthouse, dear?

I'm only 11 - am I allowed on here?

M&S No good for me as would need 10 inches or so lopping off the bottom, but maybe of interest to you taller folk? Would be nice with a denim jacket and white Converse.

'Leitmotif' is one of my favourite words ever, btw.

Elizabeth and the rest of the clique.
Don't sit there smug thinking I am sitting here. Dowdy and past it because let me tell you. You are very much mistaken.
Erm 3o dresses. 12 bags. Every color and shade of nail varnish. Hair accessories in every color. Earrings to match every dress. I think I do know a little bit about what I am talking about.

I can't wear converse with skirts. Too flat and clump along. And hot

Go you lighthouse !

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I want some nice flat tan sandals for days when it's too warm for Converse (if we actually get any!), but haven't seen any I love yet.

Keep an eye on gap. Got lovely silver and tan ones there last year in the sale

Would you prefer or ?

Earrings to match every dress?
Fancy

I am lucky if I can find a matching pair

Like this but tan and silver

Earrings to match every dress?

I'm imagining Pat Butcher

Sometimes less is more.

Will do, Hoover. Ta.

I wonder if they make earrings with naked men, ladies walking dogs or the Queen on? Otherwise I'm sorry to say that I have some outfits which will be impossible to match with earrings. Bugger.

Remus, I'm with on that search. I had a pair from warehouse a couple of years ago that were perfection, but I can't find anything quite like them :(

Joules have some floral chuck it on type dresses.

Ha! I meant sandals, not naked men earrings!

Too plain ? m.gap.co.uk/product.html?dn=gp000224936001&dv=0&shopid=0&pdn=gc60041
