lets talk clothes. Anyone got their eye on anything?

or stuff?

where IS everyone? S&B is DULL atm

taybert I don't know anymore in Gap. I think I'm a fairly standard 12 (occasionally a big 12 depending on cake intake) hips and I'm 28 in Gap, so I'd say you're smaller than 28.

Off to peruse the Whistles sale.....

Oh WOW Amber!! Fab

I like this skirt:

I like M&S Autograph skinnies. I have some Topshop ones and some Current Elliot, but the M&S ones beat them both hands down, for me anyway.

Speaking of M&S this is very me, but it's poly. Has anybody seen it irl?

Agh - ignore me. It's navy - thought it was black. No longer interested, even though I'm partial to a bit of gingham!

my blush jeans saga continues on twitter. I am rebuying the ones some said looked naked

year 9 advised earlier

Yr 12 approved of my yellow skirt today! :)

I teach little ones and the things they like are my dress with cats on and my butterfly scarf- I suspect all cute animals would be well received!

You may like this sundress I took delivery of yesterday Remus.

It's lovely, Amber. My days of strapless are over though.

Sale on in Banana Republic, spotted this which of course is not in the sale!

Has anyone mentioned this yet for a holiday dress? It is a bit see through, but ok with £7 Primark slip.

And I thought I liked the La Redoute linen tees until the Hush version arrived. Which of course cost twice the price.

Going to wear the gold one tomorrow night, with the black La Redoute linen vest underneath.

Although I haven't tried the combo yet so it might be awful.

But isn't the point of a holiday dress to be lovely and cool? The last thing I'd want is to have to wear a slip. It does look a nice dress though.

I agree Remus, it's a shame to have to wear something underneath, also, things just never seen to hang as well or look as nice with a slip or top underneath. The t shirt is lovely though. Does it really need a vest or could I get away with a nude bra in a non work context?

Remus that top you linked the stripey one looks lovely

Depends - i dress up all year. On holiday i look a frickin horror.
I dont want to waft about in dresses. I barely wash

fuck a slip
just wear an opaque bra and a black thong

But dresses are easy, only one thing to wear innit? Apart from undies. Which you probably should if they're see through like that Hush one but I guess it depends where you go on holiday.

last year in France we planned to go out for dinner but then realised we would all have to Make an Effort, so we went to Super U and cooked ourselves. RESULT

Argh, JohnCheese - you are taunting me with yet another clothing item I've been craving! I dithered too long about buying that tie-front Mango shirt, and now it's gorn.

That said, I am a new convert to shorts on holiday since B) Starting running so legs are not just sausages B) Finding shorts that fit. They are my new favourite thing.

I find when in France the best thing to do is make sure your fridge is filled with cheese at all times. That way you can eat it in your pants if you can't be arsed to go out. We did go out to lunch the other day and when we got in the car after me and DH just bitched about how awful everyone's shoes were. I love France. And maybe DH a bit.

Ha!@J&D

I'm with you. We dont holiday anywhere terribly chic in the summer (with kids in tow), so I can slob about in the same grotty swimsuit and some long vests and shorts pretty much all the time. Couple of throw on dresses for evening, maybe. I reverted to complete American Mom Walmart Slob in Florida last year. twas liberating.

I'm a bit of a tramp at weekends, too, to be honest .

Its work I tart up for. Vain bitch.

Also, I don't know the alphabet. I may have had wine.
