Harpsichordcarrier was so right, she is always right, and I promise to listen to what she says and obey for ever more

I have tried on every skirt in the known universe and this was the nicest.

I have bought it.

As you were.

oh Honourable Mention to NQC who also said I should buy it

Can we all go home now?

good. i also said it was nice as long as the printed cotton was good quality.

you know that it was about the third skirt mentioned, don't you?

Who knew buying a skirt would be such an all consuming mission?? I understand there are people in the world who actually enjoy shopping - I think they must have a special gene for it!

Anyway - skirt looks ace, and I hope you have fun (and feel good) wearing it.

Oh good

I will come out of hiding

this has all been miserably over my head

aaah

what was it for again?

yes you can all go home early and have time off for good behaviour

and Aitch YES I DO and do you think she will EVER EVER let me forget it?

Oh, I nearly bought that today! It is scrummy.

i suspect not. is she going to be at the party? just do a wonderwoman twirl in front of her and all will be forgiven.

Fox we are having a party tomorrow

now Aitch I need those mythical orange shoes for this, I think, but black will have to do

or teal can I wear teal? No?

The sash tie is navy unfortunately so will have to come off. I looked at replacing it with another scarf but that would have cost about another £20 so it will have to be plain

and I didn't have time or money to buy any beads maybe I can use something I already have?

Aitch no she was invited but said it was too far to come for the afternoon, can you imagine that?

Plus her baby is sick and we don't want her stinky germs

nice weather for a party

what's the problem with navy? it's really just black, but more flattering.

you're having a party?
at yours?

bolt your soap down

LL buy it and we can nod knowingly at one another when we pass in the street

there were a few good ones in Monsoon, a mustardy one and a pleaty multi coloured one, but this was sooo the nicest, and it is a better length and shape than it looks on the website

Oh and HC I just squeezed into a 10

where DID those pies go?

what's the top like?

Navy looks frumpy on me and more importantly, it doesn't go with a black top

Soap duly hidden

I'm sure teal would look fine with that then you can leave the sash on

erm it is a black t-shirt

I did try on a cute little buttoned cap sleeved shirt but I looked like I was going to a job interview

I have a turbulent relationship with tops

Teal shoes? Black top? Navy sash?

Nah....

nah..got the black top bit after I posted that (I'm not that unstylish )

Franny, I just got this and am trying to be good... but my resolve is failing .

Have a fab party, hope the weather is still glorious!

It's indoors!

LL that is lovely, what pattern did you get?

Fox well really I should not be wearing a black top with it should I? But I don't expect anyone will notice...

whoops, just put this on the wrong thread...

"how can navy look frumpy? it's just a colour... anyway, it's dark blue. shame about the belt, i like it and i think it ties together the colours well. so, no pink shoes in the house? or red, even, with red bangles and beads?
i also think teal should be fine as long as it's not clashy with the skyish blue on the skirt. i know there's no red in the skirt but i'd be tempted to try red if you have some bits and bobs lying around.
what's the top?"

oh no, no-one will notice (I certainly wouldn't). Esp after a few drinks.
