but I will benefit

Your mission if you choose to accept it; to browse the Next directory and find me casual clothes to wear on a regular school run day. I have £50.

Am short but not that short am in petite range, size 10, slim waist, have a hanging over belly and slight saddle bags and 36C norks.
Am also very fair and short dark brown hair.
(Will post pic on profile for short time if you like).

Bear in mind youngest is 10 weeks old and also have ds1 who is 18 months and dd 4, so must be practical.

Ok

Just off to cook tea will be back shortly.
Thanks very muchly.

DualCycloneCod · 11/02/2008 18:25

right oyu need ONE pair of jeans( if oyu havent already) and one pair of ?cords or a cas skirt

but it all depende on footwear.

Nbg · 11/02/2008 19:06

Tbh I have loads of clothes
but I have had these vouchers for ages and am in a spending mood.

Have skinny jeans, boycut jeans, straight leg, bootcut and widecut.
Shoes are ok too, I think.
Have dark navy flats, boots galore (but all high apart from ugg things) and heels but heels are no good for school run.

Think its tops I'm struggling with tbh.
Cant seem to find any to hide jelly belly.
