lets talk clothes. Anyone got their eye on anything?

or stuff?

where IS everyone? S&B is DULL atm

I saw a white cotton cardi (I am ver' middle-aged) in Sainsburys.
Very tempted because : it's cotton, it has a texture so nice weight to it, no buttons it has press studs so I can pretend it's Chanel-esque.
My DC are teens so I don't need to worry about small children wiping filth on my whites.
Employing the wait 24 hours rule so I'll think until tomorrow and might buy it.

Flois I've only had to return once but it was free postage and they refunded me really quickly. Was I just lucky or have they got better I wonder?

Yes, lack of cotton is another thing that makes me angry. Especially in the summer as I hate being all sweaty in man made fabrics. Not a good look.

This tee arrived. I like it. Just a tee at a fairly hefty price, given that it's very lightweight linen. But I'm keeping it. Love the metallic sheen to it. Will be nice in the sun (hah! That's a good joke) and at night too.

That tee would look good with the ruched skirt I reckon, but ouch at the price!

If it hangs well Remus, could you go 70s style with cork wedges?

I am in knee high boots and tights again today :(

How's the Finery dress Mama ? I like the look of it...

I bought a denim maxi skirt off eBay that I have yet to try on but have high hopes for and a breton vest maxi dress from TK Maxx.

I imminently need to find:

• white fitted T-shirt x 2
• white converse rip offs
• navy or red converse rip offs
• magical work shoes that go with my black midi skirt and are comfy to walk in

I am also in the market for:

• cropped black work trousers
• embellished sandals
• replacement black biker boots for autumn
• running kit (inc sports bras)
• new knickers

I am struggling with colour this year for some reason...almost everything I own seems to be black, white, grey or navy...

I don't think I'm ever going to be a cork wedges type of person, but I did wonder about some wedge espadrilles with ankle ties/straps - am a sucker for an ankle strap!

Have also got my eye on this but would need a code or a sale!

That's lovely Remus. Well apart from the length.
And those elbow-showcasing sleeves.
Cheers, Whistles.

Remus - that white broderie dress you wished came in other colours at Marks is also half price. I wish I could wear a shift style - I love it in white!

Yikes I was talking about my knees/elbows just then - not yours. Sure it'll look great on you

Nice links. Lovely whistles and finery dresses.

THANKME gets 20% off the tee I bought. Still expensive, but a bit easier with 20% off. Nice tho.

I think my knees (in tights) and elbows are about acceptable still!

Grrr to white dresses - beautiful but I seem to attract dirt without trying.

Love the j crew tee - have ordered and the boden ruched skirt.

Also go through Quidco for extra cashback on j crew and boden.

Damn you mumsnet, ive just bought the steve madden sandals mama linked to

love that metallic t shirt
what size for a 14 due to bust issues - cant be titty

there MUST be a Jcrew discount code

thankme is 20% off j crew.

The reviews say it comes up small - so I reckon m or l.

Pity it has a boob pocket- hate tees with boob pockets! Spent ages looking for a 100% cotton tee shirt the other week (for dog walking!) and ended up with one from millets. Millets!! I do not want to clothes shop in millets! (To be fair was in pretty small town, but there was a new look and a monsoon and a random small department store!)

Not clothes but I really want some Anastasia make up,mainly her glow kit in gleam... But £££ though....

I've just discovered hush and ordered the ruched skirt mentioned earlier. This is a dangerous thread!

I got some lovely 100% cotton t shirts in gap the other day. Plain colours v neck, they go nicely with jeans.

I've been wearing my Boden ruched skirt all week. I may just wear it for the rest of my life. It makes my arse look amazing. That is all.

Is it itchy? The J Crew linen t?

Like the tshirt but really can't do a tit pocket. They draw enough attention to themselves being mahoosive and all. Still, that's £45 saved.

I'm wearing a neoprene pencil skirt that I made - same shape as the Boden one but without the ruching (which tbh, I don't like) - and it is incredibly flattering. I also made a silver faux-leather one. They cost between them £50 including all the fabric and the pattern (which I can use an infinite number of times).

I'm really fed up with looking for sleeves on the high street, and have stopped looking. I'd rather make something original that actually fits and suits me. Next-stop is a linen sweatshirt-style dress and a scuba material cowl top.
