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

I bought the next tunic that ElizabethHoover mentioned in the OP.

It arrived today and I've just tried it on. Definitely too short for a dress (I'm 5'10") and fairly short for a tunic. Lovely though and I'm definitely keeping it.

Lovely haul noddy, the silvery chino things look really nice. I reserve judgement on culottes - as a pear I will not be partaking.

A recommendation from me - this H and M top is just lovely on, I have the navy and if I weren't pregnant would be buying white jeans to wear with. It has crucially washed well - the acrylic content worried me but it's been fine. Best buy in a while.

I like that as its the colour I love

www.kurtgeiger.com/klunk-tan-leather-37-carvela-kurt-geiger-shoe.html I am tempted by these but think they might be a bit ugly too think I'll try them.

This is nothing to do with the school run dress in question, but here is one of my new ones, cheap, short, perfect with Chloe sandals. I'm just waiting for the weather..

Nice, it's always nice to dress well first thing, makes me feel ready for the world. Some days I dint manage to and take DSL to school in my Scruggs and slink away afterwards.

....scruffs., damn autocorrect

I've got that top in navy too Ballroom - agree, it's fab but I've managed to catch it a couple of times and snag holes in it as the weave is quite open.

Purpleflamingos that dress looks nice but more of a black opaques dress? For work maybe in winter.

I have noddy's chinos. They are not slim on thigh. I am a bit chunky of thigh and they are good on me. Like 'em a lot.

Yes I sized down a bit to get the right size They are so comfy!

whats the fabric like on the next one?

i had forgotten I had ordered this - no idea where I saw it before

Lo! it stayeth

Thats nice, the best sleeve length

Thickish jersey (if you meant me Elizabeth!) - bit of drape, not too stiff.

Love. Had some similar from new look last year. With a Black strap plastic but v comfy

Look at this.

lol

Culottes are flattering so ner

Culottes?? I'm in the tribe.

Great sandals. Nice NewLook ones too. Am rather fond of a biggish chunky heel. Hoping for some this summer. I'd need to look around wouldn't I. Stop mucking about.

Oh fantastic BR dupes! Didn't notice they were Matalan!

Oh ffs. I meant highish not biggish heel. I should turn off autocorrect...

all bow down to NODDY - queen of duperage for those

( sorry to not name check first time nod - was posting excitedly on the hoof)
