MyLovelyMonster - did you get your things???
I have just returned from Hobbs with what can only be described as loooooovely things.
The coat first of all was a flop - it had very long sleeves for some reason (I am Mrs Lanky but they covered half my hands!) and also was too big all over - I ordered a 12 - so their sizes are pretty big I think. I didn't like the material much - very shiny and monotone, lining the same - so it was a no. Also the single breasted thing made me look like a pin
BUT...the dress is fantastic...rreally wearable, nice length, simple and practical.
I loved it immediately and I don't often with clothes.
The tab jumper in black was a bit flimsy but only £15, looked like it'd go with anything and is 100% wool so I was persuaded to take it home...might go back if a bad fit though.
Boots, what can I say? Beautiful, really nice, dark red leather (not brownish as on website) and a good fit - long rather than wide though. Wide round the calf as well but not too bad, I'm a 33ish calf. The width at the top should balance a skirt iyswim.
(Might still go for Duos though, am keeping receipt!)
And I saw the wother of pearl necklace in the shop reduced to £19, and it was so beautiful I got it (first proper necklace!) as it is really heavy and just gorgeous.
Big smiles here. Though I think they suspected I wasn't really posh when I kept refusing their suggestions..'this mac is a key piece'...'is it in the sale?'...'No but it will look fantastic'...'No ta then duck'
