I love New look, how much was it?

AitchTwoOh · 18/11/2006 15:03

not seen it, but a word of warning. you do have to be careful with cheap suede as it loses dye easily.
this can become a problem if you sit on a pale sofa with a dark item on.
actually, it only becomes a problem if you get up from the sofa so there is a way round it.

SnafuOutOfHiding · 18/11/2006 15:06

So, buy purple suede skirt, have pale sofa sewn to arse for free? Bargain!

New Look are fabulous sometimes - I have a panelled linen skirt which I bought about 4 years ago for £18. I wear it all summer, it washes and washes and every time I wear it, I get complimented on it. Sigh, want a purple suede skirt and want it NOW!

TheHighwayCod · 18/11/2006 18:15

Its a mini

Ahem, I have nice legs. I can do a mini!
(as long as noone looks at my face too closely and realises I almost qualify for wearing 'em first time round )

I really hate New Look. It is SO brightly lit full of teenaged girls spending money on cheapoid boobtubes or naff glittery slogan t-shirts. Horrid

Carmenere · 20/11/2006 20:18

New Look is undeniably horrid BUT they do stock to occasional fab thing, I got a really lovely handbag there and I am well fussy about my bags

Blondilocks · 20/11/2006 22:21

It's like ALL shops - some nice things, some revolting ones. I must admit that I sometimes feel old in there & I'm only 22!

lou33 · 20/11/2006 22:23

i might have to take a trip in on weds afternoon now

SparklyGothKat · 20/11/2006 22:26

so my dark purple mini suede skirt is back in fashion... yea!! Have had it years lol!!

lou33 · 20/11/2006 22:28

i have a tan one from the sixties, but its too small for me even tho it says it is an 8 and i am an 8

i have to leave a button undone lol

turquoise · 20/11/2006 22:31

Saw it today. Didn't think I'd like it but I DO. Need about 500 denier opaque tights though with my knees.

Carmenere · 21/11/2006 08:59

Found it in the Saturday mag, doh! I was looking in the Sunday mag. It looks lovely but not for anyone over a size 10 or age 30 imo. Dangerously into mutton territory.....................

MarsLady · 21/11/2006 09:16

Will look at it this morning and report back!

Otherwise I will have to continue to live in my blue sueded mini!
