Just clearing down my Watched Threads and realised that I've not seen one in Active Convos for ages, can't find one on the first 5 pages in topic.

Have they stopped? Summer is coming!

I posted this Oasis midi before. The rint looks gorgeous. Not seen it irl though. It's a cotton/polyester mix, but I can cope with polyester in skirts, not so much in tops.

After bitching about Fat Face the other day, I rather like the look of this one.

Absolutley love this Does anybody fancy buying it for me? It's a cotton/silk mix Thing of Beauty.

This Coast one is v me but v expensive for polyester.

Dammit I love all those skirts Remus

BillStickersIsInnocent · 13/04/2015 21:23

That Jigsaw skirt is beautiful, wouldn't suit me though as need a waist of some description.

You reminded me I tried on this Jigsaw dress marble print. The shape was great but very ££ and also the print reminded me of some sort of skin condition....so not great but others might not see the association!

ElizabethHoover · 13/04/2015 21:33

Remus have you seen the fat face one?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/04/2015 21:38

I knew you wouldn't like them. They are not dowdy when worn with heels etc. Lots of not dowdy ideas here

Horses for courses etc. :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/04/2015 21:39

I haven't, Noddy. I popped into FF the other day as it was one of the few clothes shops available, and most of it looked absolutely awful. I was looking at tops and dresses though, not skirts.

noddyholder · 13/04/2015 21:42

I might nip in tomorrow it's near me and I never do! I like that skirt I saw another one like it much more expensive

ElizabethHoover · 13/04/2015 21:43

denim jacket woman looks like she is wearing a loo roll

noddyholder · 13/04/2015 21:45

Some look a bit dowdy on the hanger but feel really modern on Agree need heels.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/04/2015 21:46

I didn't say that they were all good! Anyway, I rather like The Sound of Music. Am working on my yodeling skills as we speak.

Agree re loo roll woman.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/04/2015 21:49

I'm short waisted but these do work on me, if I wear them right. Honest, guv! Grin

ElizabethHoover · 13/04/2015 21:55

lol at her head scooting off the top of the screen

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/04/2015 21:55

Nice. I have an almost identical Whistles one. Wear it with opaques and ankle boots, or with nude tights and heels for work, or bare legs and Converse in the summer.

ElizabethHoover · 13/04/2015 21:56

i have neverbought anything at Whistles

ElizabethHoover · 13/04/2015 21:57

do your little toes not get hot in converse?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/04/2015 21:59

If it's super hot, I'll wear sandals - so hard to find nice ones though, that are non-granny but also that I can walk miles in.

noddyholder · 13/04/2015 22:02

It's from Zara I never go into whistles or Karen Millen

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 13/04/2015 22:12

PinkPear - how annoying that you have to have an op, but I hope it goes well. Yes, bags and shoes - can always be relied upon to look good, even if you have pesky baby weight. Mine took 9 months to shed, both times. Hated carrying the extra weight, so did Dukan diet to move things along. Time will sort it, too, though.

Remus I love that Jigsaw skirt!

ElizabethHoover · 14/04/2015 06:47

Wheeling out the polyester marks top for work today. Will report back

ElizabethHoover · 14/04/2015 14:16
