I think I quite like these..originally the bright pink but thinking about it the blue are probably more practical.

Nice or no?

I like that length myself. I have some old ones that length that get worn and worn every summer. Not sure about the twiddly embroidery bit though.

DavetheCat2001 · 29/04/2018 10:38

hmm..I think the embroidery bit is ok, know what you mean though.

They are fine

If you are 6 years old

I like the pink but that embroidery would be at the widest point of my thighs. And they would be mid calf length on me which also does me no favours.

DavetheCat2001 · 29/04/2018 10:49

And what do folks think of the shirt?

...quite liking the fact that the cotton % is high as so much stuff is crappy artificial fibre.

Nooooo, hideous.

IHaveBrilloHair · 29/04/2018 10:50

I really like them, but they'd be too long on me

BikeRunSki · 29/04/2018 10:56

I’d like the capris, and probably buy them, without the embroidery.

I do really like the white shirt, and might buy it bet my arms won’t fit

LizzieMacQueen · 29/04/2018 11:10

Those links don't work for me, just takes me to the home page.

thenightsky · 29/04/2018 11:12

I really like that shirt.

thenightsky · 29/04/2018 11:14

Having said that (re shirt) I can see it would be a nightmare to iron Grin

Bouledeneige · 29/04/2018 11:17

Sorry I think the capri pants are horrid and the shirt meh. But i cant cope with ironing all the time.

DavetheCat2001 · 29/04/2018 11:22

Lizzie it seems to go to the homepage initially but if you wait a few seconds the items come up.

Hmmm..order the shirt as I can wear that with lots of different jeans I already have and take a rain check on the capri's!

Capris are hideous. They look like little girl's jeans from Primark.

Don't like the shirt either, is quite dated in shape and with the gathered bits.

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 29/04/2018 11:32

The shirt is aweful op, the backs nice but the frillyness of the front and the gathering is terrible.
I thought the Capri pants would be terrible when i saw them off the model but I actually quite like them in pink. Blue would just look like you were wearing toddlers clothes but you could probably style the pink ones.

DavetheCat2001 · 29/04/2018 11:32

Have ordered the shirt.

Will report back Grin

The capri pants might be okay if they were just plain, but the embroidery and coloured pockets make them look a bit kiddie. Not gone on the shirt. It's a bit too 'school uniform' for me.

DavetheCat2001 · 29/04/2018 13:46

What about these, those who don't hate capri's obvs!

Not keen on the capri pants, DD has a very similar pair and she's eleven.

Mulberrysilk · 29/04/2018 15:04

Have a look a zara black skinny capri.

Dwellerfromunderthesink · 29/04/2018 15:05

The second capris would be ok without the patterned turn up imo. Makes them look like kids jeans. The first capris I don’t like at all. They look like m&s little girls trousers. Sorry but not mad on the shirt either because of pleating over boob area.

Dwellerfromunderthesink · 29/04/2018 15:07

For capris maybe check gap, oasis, Zara and sometimes fat face have ok ones.
