its funyn how dressing outside of what you normally wear - even if you know you look ok - cna be nervwracking
espeiclaly samongst your freidns!

NuttyMuffins · 19/03/2007 20:19

Yep tis one of my probs ( god my list is getting longer). Must try and overcome it this year and wear what I like and not what I think other people will like.

I am crap at summer style though. I think that even if I had an unlimited amount of money I would still find buying summer clothes really really hard.

Nuttymuffins - are you me?!

Had exactly the same horror story of pic in 3/4 length trousers. Determined to wear more skirts but I am also on the look out for dresses (hence lurking round these threads when they come up!)

JoPG · 19/03/2007 20:23

Got this one at the weekend. Just need the weather to go with it now.

danceswithaSPRINGinherstep · 19/03/2007 20:26

Ooooh I love the stick of rock one on the fat face website, I might have to go and look at that (and your one JoPG but I need to be able to wear a bra...nork issues!)

NuttyMuffins · 19/03/2007 20:28

Some of those on there look quite nice, must have a better look later.

Does crap all for your confidence though hey dances ? There was me thinking I loked oh so lovely LOL.

NuttyMuffins · 19/03/2007 20:53

Oh no, i like loads of their stuff and it's all really pricey.

Hmm off to lok on ebay for their stuff.

danceswithaSPRINGinherstep · 19/03/2007 21:09

Yep! What to wear then in summer, I quite often get long straight linen trousers which look great for about...um...5 minutes and then crumpled with massive knees! Shorts are a massive no, no. I want some funky but not dressy dresses (same brief as cod really) the search continues, keep me updated if you find anything!

MrsBadger · 19/03/2007 21:25

ooh FatFace have their dresses in at last!

What do you think of the stick of rock one....not going to look like one wearing it am I?!

Aloha · 19/03/2007 21:29

You must be a totally different shape to me Cod as both those looks would be bad on me! Are you a bit tubular about the body but with great legs? I'm more hour glass but not great legs. I suit curvy dresses with longer skirts and round or deep v necks, and need a waisted jacket and low necked top (though love that gamine peacoat look).

MrsBadger · 19/03/2007 21:32

love it
and the monet seaweed one
in the summer you can get away with prints you wouldn't go near in the winter

If you can handle strappy straps Joe Browns have a couple here and here

CODalmighty · 19/03/2007 22:15

Swizzler · 19/03/2007 22:18

That looks lovely - so hard to find summer dresses that you can wear with bras (H cup norks and strappy tops not a good combination}

CODalmighty · 19/03/2007 22:19

Swizzler · 19/03/2007 22:26

Do have a waist but large arse - fitted dresses def best

Blondilocks · 19/03/2007 22:27
