Love that dress, agree with grey, black or anything but 'soft white'. LK Bennett have a similar dress in green, which is absolutely gorgeous...but it's about £270!!

[Floisme]

That's really pretty but what a bloody stupid colour. It would look lovely in grey.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Might go and try the orange skirt on, pumpkin or not. Will almost certainly be too long for me though.
Wish they did this in black or grey.

Why was I looking at shoes you ask??
Because it's what I do. And shoes are so lovely. And easy. No tits and ass to accommodate.
If you meant have I a need for shoes. Well, not really...

Will search encore un autre jour pour the blouse.

The orange skirt is beautiful in real life. Lovely quality. I'm tempted to go back and get it to wear with a tight black tee for a (casual) upcoming wedding.

[SpaghettiMeatballs]

I like the blouse and the skirt. I think the skirt would be the wrong length on me though.

I bought one of their DD+ bikinis a fortnight ago and I am so impressed with it. It fits really well and looks better on than my Bravissimo bikini.

[KanyesVest]

I normally would, I hate real shops and shoppers but I'm not in the UK, so although gap returns are free, they are a bit of a ballache to organise. And someone who hates me gave me a voucher for my own vision of hell a shopping centre where there is a gap. The gods are conspiring against me.

[JackandDiane]

you get free returns and you can think about things, not do panic buying.

[lorelei9here]

Jack is so right - that's what I do!

[JackandDiane]

That way lies misery. Always order zillions to come to your home.

[KanyesVest]

Thanks Jack, I fear I may have to brave an actual shop and try on .

[JackandDiane]

like the IDEA of this but too polyester for me - and wary of big prints on a big bust
If you were tiny titted it might work

[JackandDiane]

why were you looking at shoes JOhn? Glad you like the sunglasses

[JackandDiane]

John, the blouse is in with workwear - near the white jacket in my OP

[JackandDiane]

KANYE - they arent always labelled as resolution these days. These are mine

These slightly different and tighter but also nice www.gap.co.uk/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=000126654000

[TheCokeMachine]

Shoes - you need these! They are so on trend and only £50. Ignore the comments about the heels, blocks are fashionable and they are not high.

Had a scoot into Marks' at lunchtime, as you do.
Sunglasses lovely. Like you Flo, clearly I had to buy.
No blouse there, or not obvious. No time to look for jeans (need a black pair), among the 3 million styles and ranges.

Disappointingly, the shoes weren't great. They've been ok the last few seasons, couldn't see anything today. Maybe that was just this branch, I haven't had a look at the website. The irony of all this is that I had need jeans and had no time to root. Whereas I need another pair of shoes like I need a hole in the head and I had time to look at shoes....

[Floisme]

I'll try that ruched skirt and see how thick it is - thanks Jack. The ruched dresses also look great but where are the sleeves eh, Boden?

Back to M&S - I went for another look at those Autograph girlfriend jeans and there was only one pair left in my size. So obviously I had to buy them.

[KanyesVest]

Jack, which gap resolutions do you recommend? I need to retire a lovely pair of mango jeans which have gone ridiculously stretchy.

[JackandDiane]

ooh my other retail moment recently was this from zara- IGNORE THE CROP TOP

with plain black underneath

[JackandDiane]

met a pal last night I had recommended the Gap resolution jeans to, she also loves

[KanyesVest]

Remus, that skirt is fantastic. I very nearly bought it in navy last week but the length is crap on me. I love the orange too, but don't nave enough to go with it.

[JackandDiane]

Ah I see. There's a finish. Ivd rolled up anyway. As you might need to?

[Higge]

I should have been more precise - the lack of cuffs makes it flappy around the wrists which I don't like. I have very long arms though!
