cod would you not recommend jacket (perhaps cord one thus ) over jumper?

xena · 08/11/2006 19:19

Bag I love would like it in the other colour as well

xena · 08/11/2006 19:21

xena · 08/11/2006 19:23

Boots? top left

xena · 08/11/2006 19:24

Jumpers wouldn't fit under my little jacket - you could go for the next size up but then you might compromise fit when fitted tshirts underneath?

MrsBadger · 08/11/2006 19:31

boots v nice but v expensive for a total £100 budget - I'd be tempted to leave shoes for now and see if I couldn't do better in the sales / Next to Nothing etc.

jacket is meant to be instead of jumper with big scarf when in and out of cars etc, but agree one that'll fit a light jumper underneath is a good plan.

And what you need to finish off your outfit is a beautiful handcrafted unique item of beaded jewellery....isn't that right Cod >????

beckybrastraps · 08/11/2006 19:34

I agree with Mrs B. Jacket and scarf rather than jumper. I think it would FEEL smarter.

TheHighwayCod · 08/11/2006 19:44

ooh yes

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 08/11/2006 22:09

Fine stripe mock layer top in grey

NYceMummy · 08/11/2006 22:29

Agree with MrsBadger - 3pk lace-trimmed tops (-see lockets' tops link) are better colours and still a good style.

Aw you sound so excited!!!! I'm almost jealous!! But thanks to you I am now showered, dressed and wearing mascara and lipgloss!

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 09/11/2006 17:10

im so pleased that others are feeling better because of all this.

I know i have come accross as a complete bint who knows nothing, but i guess thats what i get for being a young mum to 2 with a 15 month age gap - I just let myself go, worrying too much about the house and the girls and not enough about myself.

I really have appreciated all the help you lot have given me over the last few days.... it has made the world of difference in how i feel about myself and how little it takes to make a difference.

Thank you thank you thank you - but i still need a cardi from next!!!

Hi JARM - did you order the jeans in the next size up from your normal size, I find their petit stuff is 'petit' all over ie what I would wear in 14 in the normal range, I need 16 in the petit range. Just a thought.

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 09/11/2006 17:19

i did yes - i seemed to go a size up in everything so i can try it all and send it back if necessary.

THanks for the thought though x

So, when do the clothes arrive, and where is that hair photo!

TheHighwayCod · 09/11/2006 18:48

jarm
t hat has made my day
action sometimes better then mere sympathy imo

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 09/11/2006 18:59

Most of the stuff arrives tomorrow - 1-2 week wait on a top and the boots.

Hair photo.... hmmmmm..... will take one in a bit! took one last night but it looked rough so i have washed, dried and straightened it myself today and it looks a bit better!
