yeh i know but i was meaning the shape more than anything, with buttons opened

i hate ruffles and frilly bits

Nbg · 06/02/2008 12:38

I'm not keen on satin myself but I just think they look gorgeous with pencil skirts.

nailpolish · 06/02/2008 12:39

thanks

when i put my corset belt on (or rather get someone to do it for me), its only getting it done up thats the problem

once it is on i dont really notice it, and carry on as usual

Wear my pencil skirt with a fitted, fine knit polo neck with a wide clinchy-in belt (corset type). But that works for me because I am very long waisted and small boobs (polo necks make me look like I have got big tits yay) - don't know how that would work if you are large chested.

Same idea a fine knit v neck long sleeve top, again tucked in and/or with wide belt. I am wearing one today - £15 from new look (is actually dd's but I thieved it). Looks good with the high waisted skirt. Am getting a few nice looks at work anyway!

Have tried to wear it with a fitted shirt but it feels too secretarial.

Have you bought the black one then naily?

I have a woolen purple pencil skirt (sounds horrendous but its actually lovely) and the top I have to go with it, i tuck in.

Just need to get rid of last bit of baby fat and I'll be in it again

nailpolish · 07/02/2008 09:12

i have a shirt v similar to that black one nbg, it was in depths of wardrobe. i also have a nice pink one i tried on last night, so ive saved some cash

god i cant believe how comfy ths skirt is, skrits are underrated IMO

Skirts are deffo under rated.
I absolutely love these pencil skirts though.

CaptainCod · 07/02/2008 09:26

nailpolish · 07/02/2008 09:27
