Ooh I think I'd struggle with the texture if it's not smooth. But that's just me, I love the design though. The rouched skirt looks fab.

[Floisme]

I bloody love a ruched skirt. Don't know if I know you but thank you Jack

[Floisme]

Ah, I was so excited about that ruched skirt I forgot, does anyone know if it's double or single fabric? At my time of life it needs to be double. Thanks.

[Higge]

Tried the M&S pussy bow blouse ages ago - is that the one that DMBL40 recommends? It didn't work on me - sleeves were too flappy and I didn't like the fabric. Love the ruched skirt - I have the Hush version but it's much too short!

[Floisme]

I've got the Hush one too - if I wear it half way down my arse with a long jumper, it just reaches my knees. I think I have every ruched skirt known to man.

[enjoyingscience]

That orange skirt is amazing. I might hold off buying until the morning though and the thursday wine has worn off

What shoes would work with it? Gladiators?

[JackandDiane]

I have the rouched dress for a wedding. It's thick.
Top got two requests for its provenance tonight

[JackandDiane]

I don't read dmbl. Sleeves not at all flappy

[Ilovetorrentialrain]

There's a rouched dress?! I'm all over it. Not really looked at Boden before.

[JackandDiane]

Got for a wedding. The plum one. I hate normal wedding attire

[Ilovetorrentialrain]

Just looked. It's gorgeous. Looks good quality.

[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!

[JackandDiane]

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

[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]

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

[JackandDiane]

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

with plain black underneath

[KanyesVest]

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

[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.

[JohnCheese]

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....

[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.

[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

[JackandDiane]

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

[JackandDiane]

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

[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

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