brought a lovely wine coloured knitted dress in next a few weeks bk, its very flattering.
i have been wearing it alot its so nice and comfy.
well i want other but can't really find any others i'd like i'd like a green one.

so i am thinking about getting the same dress in grey the only other colour they do it in.

its 35 pound from next, if it was cheaper say 20 quid i'd just buy it.

Nothing wrong with it - I am doing the same - see other thread!!!

Do you find it a bit itchy though? I did!

I've seen those dresses, they are lovely, especially the grey one. Go for it.

I think I've seen those in Next, really nice colour, quite chunky? Is that the one?
I fancied it but wasn't sure about the sleeves, wasn't sure they'd be flattering on me.

If I really like something I almost always go out and buy the other colour ways and have never regretted it.

lovelysongbirdfliesaway · 25/11/2008 14:06

What does it matter what anyone else thinks? If you like it, buy it! I have several tops the same but in different colours and sometimes buy 2 pairs of jeans the same style and colour.

lovelysongbirdfliesaway · 25/11/2008 14:11

well i would love to get a dark green or teal one.
i am going to try h and m

lovelysongbirdfliesaway · 25/11/2008 15:26

go on then, you have talked me into it

I havent washed my grey one yet - wore it once and it was itchy though - hopefully it will soften up now it has been washed.

I've done that with several garments, it sounds like a good idea.
