I have a couple of those Boden dresses, taybert. Blush

GGG - that white M&S dress is fabulous, but I can't imagine an occasion when I'd be able to wear it. Well, there's no such occasion in my diary, and by the time there is, it won't be available, sod's law.

GiddyGiddyGoat · 10/05/2016 21:10

I bought it... I will find an occasion CV!

wiltingfast · 10/05/2016 21:41

Yeah I would just put it on personally. Who needs an occasion to look fabulous?! Grin

TeamFinn · 10/05/2016 21:52

taybert I got asked if I was pregnant when I wasn't while wearing a very similar Boden dress from a few years ago. I was gutted.

JohnCheese · 10/05/2016 22:02

Had a zip through Zara today. It made me very tired. There were a few things I thought nice but it was hard work browsing in it. Does this mean..NO...am I ??? Noooo!

I did see the trousers JackandDiane linked a few pages ago these ones. They looked really lovely. I didn't try on, I would miss the belt loops. If you don't need belt loops they look good.

Lovely M&S dress

I have this www.marksandspencer.com/faux-leather-studded-tote-bag/p/p22447099

It's plastic but everyone loves

Love the bag.

Wagglebees · 11/05/2016 00:57

Like the bag. What's the zip up pouch in the last picture? Is it inside the main bag?

JackandDiane · 11/05/2016 03:40

Imagine a clutch bag. But held on each side. Do you can put stuff in there and zip firm

Nice bag.

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 11/05/2016 08:34

taybert I was congratulated and asked when I was due in a Boden dress which looks identical to your link too Blush. Don't be disheartened, you're not alone!

TheVeryThing · 11/05/2016 14:31

I like that bag, and the white dress is gorgeous, would look horrendous on me, though.

I got two deliveries today so very exciting. I'm really pleased with the knot t-shirt from Mango and the other tops I got from them will be useful too.

Love the drapey t shirt from uniqlo, so thanks to whoever linked to that. The stripey dress is good too.
Am now anxiously awaiting the arrival of the ruched skirt from hush, to see whether it will accommodate my arse and thighs!

JackandDiane · 11/05/2016 16:01

im drapey t shirt woman
Khaki jacket search not good ( see other thread)

I'm wearing my drapey tshirt today. It helps to detract from my apparently gravid abdomen. Also, these arrived (as recommended on a different thread) and they are really lovely. Luckily they're also quite shiny so they help detract from my apparently gravid abdomen.
I'm completely over that pregnancy accusation by the way. Forgotten all about it.

TheVeryThing · 11/05/2016 17:07

Thanks JackandDiane , may have to order in another colour.

Glad you're over it, taybert. I had a pregnancy accusation at a work meeting last year, from a woman I'd never met before. I think she felt worse than I did!

I haven't worn a maxi dress/skirt for about twenty years, but I've just ordered this from asos. I'm hoping it will help me to feel summery in a climate where I am unlikely to see too much sun. Am a bit dubious about it but we'll see.

HanHanHanHan · 11/05/2016 17:24

Would that drapey T shirt be ok with skinny jeans?

taybert · 11/05/2016 17:26

Hope so, that's what I'm wearing today!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/05/2016 17:52

I like that M&S dress but would like it so much more in black.

taybert · 11/05/2016 18:05

Anyone got any nice shorts? I fancied a pair for holidays and knocking around with small children in hot weather. I tried some in Next today but the ones that fitted my waist were too tight on my thighs. Someone on another thread said the Gap girlfriend ones are good but don't really want denim and the navy ones are sold out in my size. Any recommendations?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/05/2016 18:10

I'd also like some shorts - black ones. Haven't really looked yet though. I have some old H&M cotton ones but they are v v short and I'm fatter than I was last year.

Also, what trousers do people wear in summer, if too warm for jeans?

KanyesVest · 11/05/2016 18:51

I got some nice cotton shorts on mango outlet. Dirt cheap and a good cut around my ample thighs.

SayAGreatBigThankyou · 11/05/2016 19:23

LOVE the drapey uniqlo T. Ta jack.

Need some beach cover ups (H&M pic looks promising).

JackandDiane · 11/05/2016 21:31

i do like a sheer man style shirt. You need something to actually cover - a point lost on many of the shops!

Try the dreaded BHS for beachwear - always good and half the price of M nd S

Boden's bistro shorts are nice
