Following the nail varnish thread, I've decided I NEED a really dark blue silk top.

What do you think of this?

Has naybody seen it in real life? Or if it's vile, does anybody have any other suggestions?

How are your arms?

That black Monsoon one is lovely too - would be good with a nipped-in waist jacket over methinks.

Arms okay, waist okay, boobs too big (32E - argh), hence the need for v or scoop neck.

oh no. I do not give up.

foxinsocks · 09/11/2007 21:37

She wants silk, that was velvet.

Wrong colour isn't it? But is silk and would be nice in cream with tweedy trousers.

Not bad. But it's purple! And is it a bit severe looking? Quite like the low v of the green one but not the green-ness of it iyswim. Sorry - I'm a pain.

Maybe I need to think beyond silk? The colour is the most important thing I think.

ahundredtimes · 09/11/2007 21:51

Right, that'll do janeite. That one. Okay? All happy now? Because we've got to go and do Paris Hilton in ten minutes.

kindersurprise · 09/11/2007 21:51

similar to the other monsoon one

I like the shape of this one

Colour is ok - you're right though, it's very fire-worky. Per Una stuff always seems to be somewhere off the right side of rational doesn't it? Very strange - clearly designed by a man who wishes he could wear ribbons methinks.
