The Cotton Traders website is maddening! You can choose what sort of clothing, but not mens/womens, or more relevantly, size! Aaargh.

I know, it's not even vaguely stylish, but it's driving me mental just the same.

it's all too unisex to split into men & women

though nice dress and cheaper than the FatFace version...

Oh, might look at that.

I'm trying to buy trousers for DH, I don't think there are a lot of women buying 35" inseam trousers!

And there appears to be no way to find out what trousers exist in 35".

Which dress?

I find myself peering at the cotton pleated skirt, wondering if it's bikeable. (I actually wore a skirt last weekend!)

Don't think seersucker dresses are quite me, exactly. Will contemplate denim skirt.

Is it more cringeworthy to talk about sex all the time? Or shoes?

To be fair 215 of those posts were in Style, mostly trying to help other people with their shoe crises...
am sure your sex posts are of a similar nature

FrannyandZooey · 28/03/2007 21:50

you weirdo shoe sex fetishist freaks

(I think cod is having an evening off so I am standing in for her)

MrsBadger · 28/03/2007 21:55

[sticks out tongue]

NQC posts about shoes more than I post about sex though...

FrannyandZooey · 28/03/2007 21:56

yes you are darn right there, but she is a scary mad Canadian lady shoe fetishist sex freak

harpsichordcarrier · 28/03/2007 21:57

lol at NQC in a pink seersucker dress

MrsBadger · 28/03/2007 21:58

I liked the dress
have been on the lookout for one for Cod

wasn't suggesting it to NQC, not in a million years...

harpsichordcarrier · 28/03/2007 21:59

oh I know, it was just the juxtaposition.
actually, cod would really suit it.

MrsBadger · 28/03/2007 22:01

with the Jolly Roger socks

MrsBadger · 28/03/2007 22:01

NQC I mean

FrannyandZooey · 28/03/2007 22:02

Right, I'm buying it and wearing it to the drumming party. With the socks. While calling you Frances, or possibly Greeny. Or LaQuinoise?

I probably will wear the socks. They're sweet. But I can't wear them with a skirt really, as they're under the knee.
