I wore a black polo neck , opaque tights and a grey and black shift yesterday on 'school run'

but I was going to work after so 'school run' just means what I am going to wear that day

jeans if not working

dressy shite if working

The Burberry cape is gorgeous. And very useful and easy to wear.

I tried on another Burberry cape (a bit thinner) last weekend and nearly bought it... it looked fab but I had just tried on another (Armani...) cape for 5 times the price and was too in love with the Armani to settle for the Burberry at that point

They only have a 14 left.
I would have got a 12.

Do I risk it?

The Burberry cape I tried on was a medium and fitted well but I could probably have worn a large without it looking strange.

I am 1m74 with a size 12 top half (broad shoulders).

why say 'school run' then

why not say 'everyday'

school run suggests that everyone gets dressed up to pose

I have spent so much time on that website and have come to the conclusion that it is full of really tedious clothes

My DP tried on a fab cape in Véronique Branquinho last weekend - very Sherlock Holmes - I really wanted him to buy it but they didn't have his size...

Eniddo · 07/10/2008 10:34

He really couldn't look like a poof if he tried Cod - he's all testosterone my DP

Nbg · 07/10/2008 10:36
