I guess a cotton slip would work too? They make these dresses look better - no sticking to lumpy bits.

PrimalLass · 10/06/2016 21:11

I don't think the Hush t shirt is that see through. But as with the slip comment above, I like two layers so that they cling less.

Ooh no, I get v glammed up on holiday, because I have the time to do hair/makeup/choose outfit instead of always rushing.

PrimalLass · 10/06/2016 21:15

I rarely go out, so NEED the prospect of being able to do so on holiday. But we're going for 10 nights this time and have a proper apartment, so have warned the kids that we can't eat out every night. The pool bar might be as far as we venture.

taybert · 10/06/2016 21:26

My hair is never huge. Best thing about holidays is very low chance of seeing patients whilst wearing shorts, eating cheese and shouting at kids.

trixymalixy · 10/06/2016 21:31

this dress just arrived today. It's v flattering.

I love denim dresses but BIG BABS FROM PRISONER CELL BLOCK H on me.

Anyone steal my fags?

deutschland83 · 10/06/2016 21:43

So I have an hour tomorrow, no kids, no bloody DH.

Warehouse, Topshop, Oasis are my only shops in this dump of a town centre.

I will find lovely summer things?? Yes??

trixymalixy · 10/06/2016 21:54

Grin There does seem to be a lot of prison fashion about at the moment. Lots of striped utility stuff.

trixymalixy · 10/06/2016 21:55

Oasis and warehouse have nice stuff. Top shop is polyester hell at the moment.

MorrisZapp · 10/06/2016 21:59

I've ordered a bunch of summer tops from the Wrangler website. Free returns, natch. I'll report back if any success.

MorrisZapp · 10/06/2016 22:00

Also had a bikini stock take last night. In the market for one more, must be Freya or similar quality, huge boobs.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/06/2016 22:47

I posted that Oasis denim dress on here ages ago. It was universally ignored! Might try it on.

Love the yellow stripes with the denim shorts, Deutschland.

AdoraKiora · 10/06/2016 23:03

Holiday hair! What does one do?

I can't faff with a Babyliss Big Hair and fucking complex fringe blow drying techniques in an Espana apartment Angry.

Always look like a Jerry Springer guest by day three...foofy at the back, greasy at the front, possibly a scrunch involved somewhere....urgh.

AdoraKiora · 10/06/2016 23:04

*scrunchie

JohnCheese · 10/06/2016 23:49

Holiday hair?? Well I kinda like dressing up in the evenings but the hair! The hair! I do nothing. So I look alright feet to neck. And a heap from the neck up. Cba bringing a hairdryer, hairdryers supplied are total rubbish. In my head I have be beachy waves. The reality is, um, not quite so. Just doing a ponytail this year.

deutschland83 · 10/06/2016 23:56

It's the humidity that's a killer.

Sod a hairdryer in 40 deg heat.

Quick get back to fashwan before Jack spots us getting off topic Wine

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/06/2016 23:57

I don't even try re hair/make up on holiday, except for a bit of eyeshadow and lipbalm. Hair is either in a pony tail, or tied up hippie-like with a silk scarf. I generally regret it when I see photographs though!

JohnCheese · 11/06/2016 00:02

CV sign up for the email notification for the Mango top, they're bound to get returns. I'm 10-12, got the M, it's plenty big, S would do too.

CointreauVersial · 11/06/2016 00:46

Good plan, JohnCheese. I'm nowhere near a store, unfortunately.

PrimalLass · 11/06/2016 08:46

I like drying and straightening my hair on holiday after looking like a sight all day at the pool. But I've purposely not had the length cut since January so that it can go in a high ponytail.

JohnCheese · 11/06/2016 09:34

Sign up online CV.

I kind of like this pale blue one from Cos. But pricier tho. One for the sale?

JackandDiane · 11/06/2016 10:33

I've got three new blush pink trousers coming today from Zara

AdoraKiora · 11/06/2016 10:42

Ooh nice, J&D.

Blush pink looks shite on me, but I love it on other people. My boss has a gorgeous pair.

Its a bit crap being a 'winter' colouring person in the summer. Bit bored of white and navy already.
