Need a bit of padding, I think, rather than completely flat. Can't find any that are just right.

Oh my Jesus I just laugh so much I did a little wee.
I can't do links but there is a gorgeous denim dress on the Zara website it's not in stock yet but is on it's way.

In case anybody does need any, it seems that you CAN buy naked man earrings.

I really like that stripy M&S dress, thanks Remus

and through looking at that saw this which I like the look of, although reviews not positive. Do already have a denim dress from GAP so don't really need another...

That marks one problem way more flattering on me than the plain ones

They are all Prisoner Cell block H.
I can't imagine anyone looking good in any of the denim dresses.

I've got an old striped Marks one from when they used to have Autograph Weekend. It's nice. Looks good with a little dropped denim jacket over it. Mine is viscose though, so not great fabric.

Bloody hell this kicked off.

It's a good job we don't need bum covering waterproof coats too.

Are leggings and tunics / dresses passé this year then? Fucksticks if so, as that's 1/3rd of my wardrobe unwearable unless I want to be flashing my knickers a lot.

LondonRocks · 29/03/2015 15:14

I'll be rocking me breton and skinny jeans combo. What of it?! Eh, Eh??

Having said that, I ordered a stripey dress in the Monsoon sale that I have yet to collect. Will report back. It could well fit the SR bill.

I've gone a bit sensible crazy lately and taken to sometimes wearing the nicer stuff in my wardrobe, cos it makes me feel good. I've got far too much money hanging in my wardrobe from the good old days when I bought stuff regardless of school runs and money issues!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/03/2015 15:22

Too hot for summer though, London. It's acrylic.

LondonRocks · 29/03/2015 15:25

Ah, yes, you're right... Shall look further

This is a little bit Nanna, but I like a touch of granny chic in my summer dresses www.alliumb.com/products/Eliza-Blue-Floral.html#

snice · 29/03/2015 16:35

how about this from Jigsaw that doesn't look too short

If the amount of clothes you own is an indicator of stylishness then I am Anna fucking Wintour.

This dress is boho amazing, but the sleeves are bigger than Ben Hur www.zara.com/uk/en/trf/dresses/embroidered-dress-c358031p2452586.html
