haev ordered green one and hte navy capri trews elswhere

skirmish · 19/03/2007 15:04

well, maybe some green crocs then

i'm liking the green skirt, though looks like it sits right up on your waist. yuk

MrsBadger · 19/03/2007 15:04

I think they're more designed for flinging on to do the school run.

Needed to be non-revealing with wide straps so the dads don't get an eyeful of fishy cleavage and/or lingerie.

StrawberrySnowflakes · 19/03/2007 15:27

CODalmighty · 19/03/2007 16:06

the term shcool run was used losely to descirbe a casual sitation
ie not a dress to look SMART in

fishie · 19/03/2007 16:21

reaolly like the red sleeveless top on same page, lovely colour and nice wide straps.

what are next trousers like in fit? i am looking at those capri jobs actually cod, although would prefer dark grey.

CODalmighty · 19/03/2007 17:47

CODalmighty · 19/03/2007 17:48

NotanOtter · 19/03/2007 17:50

danceswithaSPRINGinherstep · 19/03/2007 17:51

OI, Mrs B...can you have a look at my style thread, I need a top! Thank you (grovelling smooches)

MrsBadger · 19/03/2007 18:44

silly though - if warm enough for cropped trews and ballet pumps then surely too warm for a jacket....

will be over in a sec dances though it looks like you're doing ok...

no is for those days where it sartrs coola dn ends up roasting by 3pm

NuttyMuffins · 19/03/2007 19:54

I can't do dresses, I either end up looking tarty or frumpy.

Will have to be doing skirts this summer though as last year someone took some awful pics of me in 3/4 denim thingies and i looked HUGE.

CODalmighty · 19/03/2007 20:02

scarey when theyat happens
partic if its summat you like

NuttyMuffins · 19/03/2007 20:06

Exactly, i thought i looked great in them, but no it was very bad.

Did just find one dress that I like in the Next book but not sure i would actually wear it out without feeling daft, even though it is quite boring really.
