Oh help me please - I cannot pay £45 for a cardigain

[Clary]

even tho it is just what I want - can I?

It's this one boden of course

The thing is my office is sometimes very warm and sometimes very cold, so I need to dress in light layers. I like 3/4 sleeves (I know some of you don't but humour me) and this cardi is nice because it is cotton not a heavy knit and has stretch too. Also V neck which is good (big norks). I would wear it over a s/s T or buttoned up over a vest.

I even like the colours (in fact cannot decide which colour) oo-er may need 2 - one in sensible brown (I had a Boden brown cotton cardi that I wore so much it fell apart) and one in (DS2's suggestion) bright green. To go with the mad Boden blue/green skirt (no not really).

Annnneeeway. Have browsed M&S/Next to no avail. Anyone seen something I might like but cheaper?

oh really? Is it not nice then?

Right well you hae to find me one that is

Pref not made of nasty shiny acrylic.

have to find me, I'm not scottish fgs.

ooh look

some more styles in the sale too.

quite like that cremola

Need some stretch tho otherwise I fear the shapelessness of which Moondog speaks so eloquently.

Think I need to go and try some on...

you can you know, you can

I know we've met Clary but that was bathing suits

No MD the cardies are snug, fitted and stretch back and wash great, they are dead flattering
Tis risk free Clary - send it back if it does not wear well, Johnny is good like that!

lol Piff

Actually we wouldn't be wearing the same clothes because you are boyish of hip and I most definitely am not. Hence V-neck to allow cleavage to draw attention away. Do you have this cardi then if so in what colour?

(Actually I was wondering how you are? Doing OK I hope)

I'm doing ok Things are getting sorted in my head and body...
I have the cardi in brown and lime, am toying which one to send back
I love brown - it became the new black for me as I hit 35 (more classy less aging), however I have a lot of brown stuff, but worn with nice jeans and whit t shirt it looks the dogs.
The green one worn with brown looks fabby
So am torn

Oh Piff sorry been offline.

Glad to hear y're feeling better.

Now is that cardi really lime? hmm not sure, thought it was maybe more grassy. Of course brown and green are the ones I want too. Idea! Send me the one you don't want!

(Have given up chocolate trolley at work and am saving money in Cardie Fund)
