Good skills bagging that Whistles skirt Floisme

Apparently it's going to be summer by the weekend and I'm rather longing for a pair of blue metallic birkenstocks from Asos, although if money were no object I might go for these from Chie Mihara.

Good point re belt

Flo - You got it! Love it.

Yup. So now you've got to buy the orange skirt

Love that Whistles skirt, Floisme.

I can report that I really like the stripy Boden ruched skirt....and it is long enough for me (5'11). Well chuffed. Might wear it towards the end of the week if we really do get legs-bearing weather in London.

Broke my 'no spend til payday' rule on day 2 of the month - oops! - and bought a stripy tube skirt from those purveyors of high fashion at George . Cant go wrong for 8 quid, thats what I say.

Orange skirt was still a no, even at half price! Gorgeous, but I cba with having to wear heels with it all the time.

I like those peep toe boots say! Was looking at v similar at the weekend. They were v comfy

HeyMacWey I didn't spot your message a few pages back about H&M linen Ts so sorry for not replying and thank you, I'll take a look. It's not like me to miss a trick at H&M!

Boden has been a bit iffy in recent years but I've seen a couple of things I quite like. This top:

Although I'm not sure it will be flattering, will have to try.

And this playsuit:

Gap dress arrived today. Very pleased.

possible contender for school run dress

even more impressive with a working link

Remus, just been in Sainsbury's and there's a pretty cute orange-red skirt, very similar in cut and fabric to the M and S one. It's more of a blood orange than a pumpkin colour (and it is by Gok...) but it comes in 2 lengths - might be worth a look?

Thanks, Ralph.

Liking the Gap dress.

would the swing top be too much with the striped ruched skirt?

This dress arrived today. Perfect fit. So very me. Delighted with it and can't wait to wear.

Also got these trainers but they're not very comfortable. Will likely return.

Kaynes, I love that GAP dress....very tempted!

My stripey ruched skirt and uniqlo stuff have arrived. Skirt is lovely as expected (I've got the other two colours), and that draped tshirt from uniqlo is perfect with it. I look exactly like the woman in that picture linked up thread.... I also got a really nice thick striped tshirt from uniqlo and a couple of summer dresses orange and stripey which aren't a million miles off in style to a couple I had my eyes on in hush that were twice the price. The only thing I'm considering sending back from today's parcels is this denim jacket jacket which I got to put over said tops and dresses if it was a bit chilly but doesn't look quite right in a way I am struggling to define. Then part of me thinks it's not very expensive and it'll do the job so I might as well keep? I may ask the opinion of the husband on his return from work.

Taybert - jacket looks nice, although quite cropped. They are Very Useful Items. I have a nice Gap one which I bought in the charity shop which gets wheeled out every summer.

I'm chuffed to bits - last year I was stalking this Jack Wills shirt - it was too expensive at full price, then as soon as it went into the sale my size sold out. But one in my size randomly popped up on eBay and it's now on its way to me. Yay!

oh god keep the jacket - you rarely wear them for long anyway IMHO

glad t shirt is fine! i ordered this am

I like that JW shirt.

Denim jacket looks okay, but agree maybe a bit too cropped. You could probably find one you like more, in a similar price range.

I'm loving my Hush striped ruched skirt

splitter!

Did you size up Dancer? I got the short ruched skirt a while ago and the waist is tiny. I can get away with it but it's not exactly comfortable. I think I got the S/M and I'm a size 10.

I think it is the croppedness which isn't quite right. I shouldn't have bothered with the petite fit. I think I will send it back and keep my eyes open for a better one. Also just noticed that the useful uniqlo cardigan jacket has a tenner off so might nab myself a navy one too.
