Jack - I am going to have to find a friendly neighbourhood sewing lady/man, I think.

I did try some green combats on and quite liked btw. Can see them working rolled up on the ankles, with a black or white t-shirt and a denim jacket BUT what shoes?

Have you still not found a khaki jacket? Have you tried Urban Outfitters?

CointreauVersial · 22/05/2016 17:30

Green ruched top ordered. Reviews claim it minimises the mum tum. We'll see......

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 22/05/2016 19:19

Wore the skirt last night. Much admired. Wore with slouchy t-shirt and patent pink high sandals.

JackandDiane · 22/05/2016 22:48

I wear my Zara combats with heeled boots or heels

I bought this on a whim last night www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/dresses-442/long-sleeve-dress-by-glamorous-petites-5495419?bi=20&ps=20

Looking at it now I've a feeling it will be going back. I'm doubtful it will flatter my mummy tummy.

I had an image of Kate Middleton wearing her lovely Topshop dress while looking at it. Unfortunately I look nothing like Kate Miiddleton!

THINK I HAVE SOLVED KHAKI JACKET - the marks one!

I can't get excited about khaki

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/05/2016 18:50

I thought you'd rejected the M&S one ages ago! Can't keep up.

Ta for shoe advice, but I'd only want to wear khaki trews in the daytime, for schlepping around, so heels definitely out.

GiddyGiddyGoat · 23/05/2016 20:36

It looks quite nice in the pic JandD... but I hate that Tencel shit Marks is so keen on - all thin and shiny and somehow a bit 'faux'. Are you liking it in real life or just the idea of it?

Finsbury · 23/05/2016 20:45

JackandD, did you not like the H & M khaki jacket? I kept it as it's ok and only paid £15. Better than Mint Velvet one, thin and shirt like and £120 I think.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/05/2016 20:52

Agree re Tencel. Horrible slippy stuff.

JackandDiane · 23/05/2016 21:09

oh i love. So drapey and not stiff like the THOUSANDS of others

OP posts:
JackandDiane · 23/05/2016 21:09

hi Fin - no, it was too studdy and pockety

OP posts:
MrsCampbellBlack · 23/05/2016 21:11

tencel creases very badly which puts me off

JackandDiane · 23/05/2016 21:27

oh BOO

The boden one comes tomorrow then i hang up my khaki jacket mojo if that is no good

OP posts:
EquinoxBloom · 23/05/2016 21:49

Ooh I got a 25% off Boden email and I got the navy slub dress which I've had my eye on for aaaages.

Happy with that.

I've got the grey/pink one and it's a very flattering cut and so easy to wear.

I have a blue camo mini skirt I made form a pair of trousers I used to wear clubbing....see if you keep something long enough...... -you find its too small

KanyesVest · 24/05/2016 18:49

Sorry, I forgot it defaults to the Irish site. Try Faith Black patent 'Drake' mid heel sandals on debenhams for the first link.

JackandDiane · 24/05/2016 19:15

the final votes is in from the khaki jacket jury.
NO to the boden melanie - nice and soft but colour shit
YES to the tencel marks one
