yy - I agree with everyone else justi - you look amazing! And a
for the snobby rude sales assistant. In fact, no, a
is too good for her (I'll eat it instead, ta...) . The leopard dress is stunning on you (even with the stripey socks), and you look absolutely nothing like a plumber in the jumpsuit! Good buys, and bargains too.
On jewellery, I hang long necklaces from the headboard of the bed
and other stuff is in a mixture of old jewellery boxes (3 or 4 necklaces per box) or scattered randomly on the bedside table (more
) Every now and again I have a sort through and rotate some other necklaces (that's pretty much all the jewellery i wear, though have a few bracelets too, which are in their own box) from a "black hole" jewellery box which has things in separate boxes/ bags, but hardly ever gets opened, cos i can't be bothered to sort through all the bags. Should probably do something about that...
miffy - beautiful kimono - love the blue and white pattern. Ditto fuzzy - love that pattern! thinks to self: maybe I need some more blue and white in my life...looks so fresh... .
len - you look amazing too. I don't care if it's all being carried off by the sunglasses. If a pair of sunnies did that to me I would be very pleased indeed.
laska - Yay - glad you managed to get your toast stuff in time. They sound like good couriers to have! Are you off tomorrow then? How exciting!
huff - Oh yes - the blue dress looks lovely too. Have to say, though, I have just been to town to collect mine, and also tried it on. It was ENORMOUS. I read the reviews and sized down to a 12 (well - that's probably my M&S size generally, but I fancied it biggish) - but it was gaping under the arms, trailing on the ground and you could have held a wedding party in the skirt. They didn't have the dress in store (though the cashier was quite keen that it was as she would have gone for it too...) but I've reordered in a 10 and 8 online to see if either of those improves matters...! (Was able to keep the beauty box anyway though, even though I returned the dress - and I do like that....I know it seems to have been less than enthusiastically received, but I like the shower gel and the ultrasun, and fancied trying the leg stuff and perfume, so everything else is a bonus, really).
I also tried on this blouse from the much maligned per una which looked much better on the hanger than on the website...lovely lightweight cotton and i thought would look good either tucked into high waisted trousers/ skirts or loose. Reminded me of the floaty anokhi toast top I got earlier in the week - but a fraction of the cost (and not quite such a beautiful fabric - but still a pretty print). Unfortunately the one I tried on was an 8 (wrong hanger - I thought it was a 12) and although it fit fine
it was a little tighter on the shoulders/upper arms than I thought was needed for that style - so have reordered in a 10. Bizarrely, I did think it could have been a 12 until I saw the label, and it was a lovely loose fit around my hips/ bum - so goodness knows what it would look like on someone who is actually an 8....
