Franny's Big Important EMERGENCY Skirt Thread of Vast Urgency

[FrannyandZooey]

Right you were all so helpful on the other thread but the skirt has turned up and it is all wrong for me

So now I need an A line skirt in a beautiful bold print which I can wear with a black top

WHICH I CAN BUY IN A SHOP BEFORE SATURDAY

for less than £40

aitch has seen photos Some of us can only dream of what the great F&Z looks like...

Frances, the black dress will look very elegant, perhaps you can use a nice funky scarf to turban round head in an homage to the 1950s perfect housewife look?

or even this

like this?

OOh lord no I will look like Hilda Ogden

I am sure everyone will pick up on my MOTAT homage without spelling it out too much

and I know you are all laughing at me for wearing this dress to a child's birthday party, but it is mine and dp's party as well and I want something I can wear out to any nice occasion afterwards

PLUS I like dressing up

I'm certainly not laughing!

I'm currently putting the finishing touches to my pirate costume for Sunday so there'll be no rocks slung from these quarters ....

I'm not laughing either, I'm writhing in envy as am Building The Nursery this weekend and have had to buy a revolting boiler suit as none of my normal painting clothes fit over the bump.

with the anti-paint bandana on I'll look like a 30s communist postergirl...

i liek the balck and yellow one in monson
saw it this morning

Has this one been done?

Forgetting budget - here is a funky skirt

but if I were in your 'shoes' (or enviable slim bum big tits skin ) - I'd dabble in the 'volume' trend with tidy little 40s style blouses and prim handbag

that looks like a Moroccan lampshade

oh, and I've been so tactful! The word '70s carpet' and 'grannys curtain' haven't crossed my lips.

Oh I haven't any breasts either! Just a masculine type shape with shoulders and rib cage bigger than arse and hips

so a big flarey skirt is A Good Thing

now franny

I have the PIL coming tomorrow (to help with the communist postergirl project)

I will have Very Limited MN Time

if there is any chance you could post a Brief and Compact post regarding whether any of the black dress variants are any good or not I would be very grateful indeed

thank you

I can post a review on Saturday night, of whatever she wears.

Actually, I think I'm going shopping in town tomorrow (to make up for my largely shitty week), maybe I'll go buy a flowery skirt to wear with a black top on Saturday.

Wait ... communist postergirl project? Que?

see post of 13:50
we are renovating

Could you try for Rosie the Riveter? I think it's a better look than Communist Heroine, maybe?

communist postergirl, capitalist postergirl, tomahto, tomayto...

Yes, true, I guess.

I quite like constructivist art, tbh. Nice clean lines. Hmmm, and we have a whole house to fill up with paintings, these days ...

Brief and compact? Moi?

NQC if you turn up in a fabuloso skirt, or post anything less than rabidly admiring about my outfit, I will be Very Displeased

And Mrs B, I am quite jealous of the boiler suit

I used to quite be a boilersuit and dungaree afficionado and I was terribly tempted to try this on last week

so did you go shopping today or wot?

No, I ordered that dress from Next

I am contemplating wearing a skirt on Saturday, but it is v unlikely it will be anything you would describe as 'fabuloso' unless you suddenly start liking things with skulls on them.

I did tell you it is NOT a pirate party, didn't I?

I'm not wearing my eyepatch! Or the parrot! But probably just one thing with skulls on. Maybe two.

Or maybe I'll wear one of my swirly tops and a pair of trousers? No idea.
