Someone help me - You know "looks shit on site" - everything needs translating to LSOF

Everything looks crappy.

I am going to the xmas do in a bag.

I am not posting photos because I looked pregnant in everything (due on, f*cking period was due last weekend, so now I will be in pain, flooding AND lumpy for this weekend most likely - I hope you all bear that in mind when you meet me!)

I spent £18 on a top today which I have now decided is a no.

So - DH has agreed to me sticking another £30 with it.

I have £48 now to spend.

I have skinnyish jeans (blue, the black look wrong with most going out tops it seems due to the pockets on the front).

I am a 10 bottom, 10-12 top. Norks were large, now apparently less so. I need a bra due to sagging (strapless not an option because it is too f*cking big), or a very structured top.

Dress me ladies!!!

Preferably Next, New Look, M&S, Dorothy Perkins or H&M (they are easiest to get to).

Meant to add or doesn't look good.

If you can get to Castlepoint in about half an hour, you're on!

theslownorris · 29/11/2007 10:50

I was meant to be out for lunch (can cancel though) but will be child free all afternoon. Twins not at school til 12 though. Not going late night then?

Late night is better probably tbh - I think most places close at 8 @ CP but it is proper late night shopping in Bournemouth

Tomorrow afternoon is doable - unless you want to shop with a toddler and a bored 4 yr old

theslownorris · 29/11/2007 11:01

I don't mind the children but I think Cod might be more useful than me so you might be better to do tomorrow. I haven't got enough time to get to Castlepoint & back tomorrow.

I have seen said top. I still say NO!

I have come home with trousers, and plan to head back with a top plan this evening - I'll let you know when I get back if shopping is needed tomorrow too

Just so you all know though.... small children not in pushchairs can slide under doors in H&M and need dragging back by ankles. They then assume it is a game and keep doing it

Grr arrgh

I have NOT got trousers

Size 10 were a smidge too tight, so I just grabbed 12 and paid (couldn't be doing with leg grabbing child again)... They are the same size I swear!!! Exactly the same tightness, just different label in em.

Any goode&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=93614&parentcategoryrn=42325&productId=484700&langId=-1

Just incase you needed some more ideas for your shopping trip, i think something like this would look nice with some sparkly accessories! If too much cleavage put a vest top underneth!

Or this:

pinkem · 29/11/2007 13:25

I give up!!

Flame · 29/11/2007 17:19

Too snug for hoping they give way. They are looooooooovely though so I am going to see if they have a pair that actually IS a different size

Flamesparrow · 29/11/2007 21:34

Well, things took a turn... I have ended up with wide leg trousers and a waistcoat

here

and

here (I think... it looks kinda like that anyway

Completely over budget and still on a top quest - I may be able to raid my friend's tomorrow.

Nothing like planned, over budget (I did do an account card thing though that brought it down oodles), but looks very nice

Red top (and red lippy)
You are utterly beautiful and must stop having crises this minute.

But don't listen to me because if I had your figure I would dress like a whore.

Flamesparrow · 29/11/2007 21:42

I wish I could see me like you

I do quite like the whore look tbh - was looking at what I thought was a pretty bustier today... then saw the matching thong

Flamesparrow · 29/11/2007 22:25

My friend says she thinks she may have something suitable, so will look in the morning, and if all goes tits up it will be back to CP in the afternooon

Flamesparrow · 29/11/2007 23:32

Flamesparrow · 30/11/2007 21:54

Had a complete change of plan and ended up with a rock chick kind of look

Much more me!
