[lilolilmanchester]

??please.

mmm, no chance of trying to do it together then!

Ahh but I am heading your way soon

Hi again Lilo!
Have posted on 35 thread,but really this is more me,I am 41!
White Stuff
Boden
Kew
Fat Face
Noa Noa
Warehouse/French Connection for dresses
Autograph
Small boutiques that stock Avoca,Nougat etc,esp in sales.
Vests/tees from Tesco/Matalan
Ebay!
Marks good for jewellery,as is Principles.

SilentTerror, didn't you have enough of my wardrobe woes last night?? Am sat here in my bra and knickers following your "try it all on" advice, and still wondering how I'm going to get through 2 weeks with 206 tops and 2 pairs trousers!!!

lilo - I know you're in South Manchester. Upstairs in Rackhams in Alty is surprisingly good - there's a coast, a mexx and loads of other labels like that. All the Miss Selfrigdey stuff is downstairs.

where and when claricebeansmum?

Actually,you spurred me on to try some of my own medicine today!
Wore a pair of Terracotta linen trousers from Principles last year which were still in the bag,with white t shirt,terracotta and green necklace and wedges.
Have vowedto sort more clothes for ebay over next few days!
Do think the 40's are not really catered for shopwise.

Chester for September.

So I am hoping a whole load of new shops in Chester/Manchester/Liverpool will tempt me. But I am so not a WAG I am wondering if there will be anything for me in Chester!

Glad to be of service!
Terracotta pants etc sounds lovely .

I am 53 though look a lot younger according to my friends
I buy from

Boden
Kew
Jigsaw
Monsoon ( a little)
Next ( a little)

If you are slightly conservative you should look at Kaliko, Hobbs, Next, M&S Autograph.

Most of the above all do mail order.

Keep away from the 1st floor of all dept stores- unless you are going to Selfridges or Harvey Nics- as they will all date you- especially country casuals and the like.
