You could try boys' jeans, I'm 5ft2 and have had some luck with age 13 jeans. Clothes made for boys and men seem to be better made than those made for girls and women.

Hello everyone! Some lovely outfits today. I really like your coated jeans @Ellapaella - does anyone have recommendations on where to buy coated jeans? (in a short leg length šŸ™ˆ)

Today I'm wearing a jumper DH bought for me - I love the jumper but really didn't like the colour on me so I dyed it. It's not quite the colour I was aiming for but I'm very pleased with it. This time last week it was pale blue Grin

River island Mollys Coates skinnies come in short length.

Ellapaella · 19/12/2019 19:55

@PalacePaper the River Island ones are great quality as well. Have you tried places like Dorothy Perkins that have a Petite range?

@myidentitymycrisis fantastic socks - where are they from?

My mother's giving me money for myself for Christmas- I'm thinking new boots for under jeans mid size heel I've had to dump two pairs of redz wedge this season just from being worn to death. Anything else I should be looking at? Marco tozzi I love too

Sooverthemill · 20/12/2019 08:40

@Happierwithouthim I don't know the brands you've said ( but I tend to stick to brands I know really well that fit me because I only buy online!) but jigsaw have a really good sale on shoes/boots at the moment and John Lewis too has so many brands on offer.

Still trying to be vaguely Christmasy ( and I equate velvet with Xmas)
Shirt: Boden years old
Jeans: Biden skinny velvet probably 3 years old
Shoes: Boden this seasons sale very very bargainous

@KiteflyingKat @Happierwithouthim lovely outfits, I quite like a Christmas jumper!@innuendobingo I admire your dress and wish I could get away with something like that! You look fab @PalacePaper great idea to dye the jumper. I like the chevron pattern too, similar to a warehouse one I have which is lovely

myidentitymycrisis · 20/12/2019 08:56

@KiteflyingKat
Lovely blouse,

OublietteBravo · 20/12/2019 09:01

It’s Friday. I have no meetings. I’m making the most of the fact that I can wear pretty much what I like in the office.

Jumper: Oasis (it’s green and sparkly - this doesn’t really come across in the photo)
Leggings: Mint Velvet
Boots: Phase Eight

It’s payday today. I must not succumb to the temptation of online shopping (especially as tax bill + school fees + mortgage for January already adds up to over Ā£10k Shock)

You always look so put together, I especially loved your outfit the other day with the Phase Eight culottes
My identity Dolcis ! A blast from the past ! Are they still around?

myidentitymycrisis · 20/12/2019 11:28

@laska2meryls
Dolcis haven’t been around for years.
I was prompted to mention the brand after being reminded about JeanJeanie !

Sooverthemill · 20/12/2019 11:59

Once I bought my own school shoes ( so from age 15 when I had a Saturday job) I got all my school shoes from dolcis! I loved them so much. MY sister had a pair of platform shoes from there but I was more of a hippy.... freeman hardy willis too ( I was at secondary school 1969-1976)
