Just in case you are near a branch of The White Stuff

AitchTwoOh Great idea, I might go and dig out my summer clothes and see what emerges. I love that look but DP loves afore-mentioned outfit and has persisted somewhat. I might well ignore that though!!
Cheers!

So, you're kind of about the boho chic?
this one would look nice with a black top yes?

harpsichordcarrier · 04/04/2007 22:00

Wallis is good, imo.
Zara too although their site is SHITE

AitchTwoOh · 04/04/2007 22:01

earthymama, i was talking to my pal today and we were both saying that the best place to look for new clothes is in your own wardrobe. just buy new accessories. trends come up and beiter themselves on the arse so quickly these days that anyone over 25 already has the major 'looks'. and supermarkets are great for accessories (says she idly playing with her golf-ball sized red coral beads that most certainly Did Not Come From A Supermarket).

harpsichordcarrier · 04/04/2007 22:01

christ how many brown skirts????

AitchTwoOh · 04/04/2007 22:02

like that too harpsi, but i think that the other principles one looks more lux becasue of the border. anyway, she hates blue... [fusspot]

AitchTwoOh · 04/04/2007 22:03

beiter??! bite

SpawnChorus · 04/04/2007 22:03
