Happy birthday @Davethecat2001 and @Purplecatshopaholic

@EllaPaella Really like both dresses but leaning towards the red one if I'm honest.

@Sooverthemill thanks for that. I will have a look at Sezane. Could be damaging for bank balance but hey ho, never mind Grin

Was out shopping yesterday - bright but chilly so ended up in Primark jumper and culottes, Roman originals padded jacket and Guess trainers. I've realised that the angle I am stand at makes my feet look like clown's feet. Must stand properly.

Totally unexpectedly I bought a dress and shoes for a wedding we are going to later in the year. Dress is POM - Amsterdam and shoes are Billi B. The shoulder does sit properly - it just looks a bit out of shape when I'm taking the photo The dress is so comfortable on and I am really pleased with it. It will work with trainers as well as my trusty light gold sandals for a different look.

Happy Birthday 🎉 @Davethecat2001 enjoy your swishing! Love the skirt on you and @toastfiend

I am totally not fashionable when it comes to bags the [[https://www.cambridgesatchel.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwgMqSBhDCARIsAIIVN1V3r6JLKiy8XzFDSHnIu-YPcNGHcznRQIhhLmvXPGvuEOUYlgMrTmYaAreYEALw_wcB Cambridge]] satchel company always appears both neutral and on trend to me but I am not into bags and because my outfits are brighter/load keep my bags fairly plan.

There's a few people on Etsy who make to order as well.

@Sooverthemill and anyone else who wears Levi 501’s. Mine have come. It looks like I only need the 28 leg as the 30 leg is really long on me.

Next question - size 27 is snug on the waist but lovely on the leg, fitted and then looser. Size 28 waist better on the waist but looser on the leg. From memory I think they stretch as I have a 28 waist in the loft and I am sure they got a bit baggy.

At the moment I’m on the verge of keeping both 🤦‍♀️

Any wise words?!

Sooverthemill · 11/04/2022 20:16

@Softpebbles I would keep the 27. In my experience they mould to your body after a few wears. I don't wash jeans often but when I do they feel snug again . Not uncomfortable at all but snug! The advice I've always had with decent cotton jeans is wear the smallest you can sit down in. I wear leg 26 and still cuff them!

Sooverthemill · 11/04/2022 20:17

@Softpebbles oh unless you have days in the month when you are bloated and prefer a more forgiving size

EllaPaella · 11/04/2022 21:13

@Softpebbles I agree with @Sooverthemill - go with the 27, they will stretch a little.
