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

I have bought it.

As you were.

You live a waaay more exciting life than me!

yes!

Thank the Lord!

yes of course you can wear that skirt with a black top, that was the point
and navy is hideoso aitch, expunge it from your wrdrobe forthwith. all women wearing navy look like BA cabin crew.
imo

am going to keep bumping this thread all night I reckon

So pleased you found the skirt Franny, was touch and go for a while, but looks like it all came together at the last minute like the A-team. What happened about the next dress? Is it going back?

So agree with HC about navy. It always makes me look like a square school girl or like i work in debenhams.

The navy in the skirt looks black, anyway, as it's next to lighter colours in the print.

But HC I can't wear the navy sash with the black top, can I?

The Next dress and everything else is going back. Dp was kind enough to work out that I will have spent over £15 on delivery and returns charges by the end of the week

no, you can't wear a navy sash with a black top.
you have a squillion lovely scarves though?

Hey, just see this whole thing as an educational experience for you, and a bunch of other people, that online shopping for clothes sucks.

(Oh, that being said, I got some lovely shirts for the boys for this wedding, from a website recommended on here, and they are really nice.)

i love navy and red, for that nautical look! really i do. but no stripes, obv.

enjoy your flight, modom.

hey aitch, you got a ladder in your 20 denier navy tights love

gawd, i'd never wear navy tights. or shoes, come to think if it. i don't actually have a lot of navy in my wardrobe, but i'm not phobic about it either i'd have to say. unlike franny. i wonder what colour her school uniform was... i'm guessing navy and brown.

cheers aitch, you've inspired a spin-off thread...

No it was black and white actually Aitch

Erm HC no I do NOT have a squillion lovely scarves

ooh I do have a headache though

oh poor you

Ugh, that's no fun. Are you all ready for tomorrow? (We're not, and we have a lot less prep to do. Oh, and DH is convinced it is a pirate party, and was confused when I said it was a drumming party ... I won't even get into DS1's outfit for it ...)

Should I have bought you the boiler suit?

black and white? was it a borstal?

i'm taking that as a yes, you twisted firestarter...

no it was a comprehensive and they allowed the parents to pick the colours of the uniform in the 1960s

so we had black and white

I still wear black all the time but I don't think it has any psychological connection to school

probably

I meant CAKE

I have been burning CAKE and biscuits, I am like the anti-Nigella today
