Really? Could I? Wore them all day today. They're certainly not fit for purpose. Never thought of taking them back. Hmm. Quelle bonne idée, now that I think of it. Why ever not.

Just bought some of those uniqlo trews with the weird waistband, hopefully will be good for work, thanks.

Just sent back two pairs of sandals as they aren't quite right, probably a bit high and far too expensive if not perfect and would wear all the time, still on the lookout for sandals with a thick ankle strap. Anyone seen any?

Sendings these sandals back as a bit pinchy and the straps felt like they would rub. Also, I turned in to my dad and said something about not getting much leather for my £50.

Off to scour the million sandal threads for something similar but with less rub potential.

Dune have a few Bill I'm trying to do links but my iPad is a knob....

BillStickersIsInnocent · 07/05/2016 08:11

That's exactly the sort of thing my dad would say 😀

Will have a look at Dune, thanks

That's good to know, nick, of course it's pissing down here today, totally my fault for ordering all those summery clothes.
I love that Uniqlo sweatshirt but can't justify any more spending for now.
I'm kind of on the lookout for a black midi skirt for work, preferably cotton but haven't spotted anything yet.

CakeForBreakfast · 07/05/2016 15:15

I went to town today and liked precisely NOTHING. ANYWHERE. Spent my money on lipsticks and veggie sausage sarnies instead.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/05/2016 15:32

Actually, I just remembered I liked one thing this but it's just like stuff I already have.

JohnCheese · 07/05/2016 15:33

Finally ordered a shedload of bikinis from next. Will pick up in store on Tuesday. I'll post pics here.

NOT

JohnCheese · 07/05/2016 15:35

V nice dress.
I'm surprised the next khaki jacket isn't nice irl. Looked great on the pic.

Pinkvici22 · 07/05/2016 15:36

I really really really want these...but £110 and I'm not sure how much I'd wear them.

Anyone seen anything similar but cheaper?

KanyesVest · 07/05/2016 15:58

Cake that blazer is gorgeous, what's the sizing like?

I returned two bikinis to debenhams earlier. Their bra sizing is not the same as their bikini top sizing. Picked up some knickers and a meh swimsuit instead.

JackandDiane · 07/05/2016 16:06

john, the issue is the fabric. Not soft enough to flop. so you would have to button to stop it going all A line

Plus collar v rigid

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/05/2016 16:10

Love those, Pink but £££.

These are open toe and have a wooden heel but haven't seen them irl and nowhere near as nice as the ones you've posted. Whistles sometimes have ones like that but will be even more £££ if they do.

Can't find anything else but did find these sandals whilst having a quick search. I like!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/05/2016 16:12

Are you a size 3 by any chance?

JackandDiane · 07/05/2016 16:13

i think your foot would be hot or cold in those shoes tbh

Pinkvici22 · 07/05/2016 16:23

Ha thanks for the replies...I agree I'm not sure what temp my foot would be at!

I love the mint velvet ones - I'm a 4 but often squeeze into a 3....ooh dilemma!!

JohnCheese · 07/05/2016 16:27

Ah, I see Jack. Not good so.

Ordered this
and this
and liked the look of this but I'm afraid the ole 30Es or wouldn't be happy. The others I ordered aren't loading for some reason.

JohnCheese · 07/05/2016 16:32

Ditto with the happiness of the 30Es for this bikini. Tho I do like

captainflash · 07/05/2016 16:39

Help on Boden ruched skirt!! Johnnie has v kindly sent me a voucher but unsure on sizing.
I'm a pretty bog standard size 12 so hopefully that should fit in the 12 striped but unsure on length. Am 5ft 8, long legged- so do I need regular or long? Would like to wear it for work so it needs to be decent. Am not shy of flashing legs though otherwise!
Gracias!

Statelychangers · 07/05/2016 17:17

Love these yellow sandals, they are a bit too £££ but if they are comfortable I might be tempted.
