Help! Stuck in a (Boden) style rut.

I need some ideas for daytime smart-casual mummy wear. I am size 12 with a long body and short legs in comparison. Fairly in proportion but tum is on the flabby side

I especially need help with shoes/boots and tops. I often wear skirts, prefer them to trousers, but need the comfort of flats which are sturdy and comfortable enough for walking but which don't look really odd with skirts.

At the moment I am living in Boden everyday denim skirt (appropriately enough), basic long sleeved tees/tops, fun tank tops, diamond opaque tights and Hobbs elastic sided boots.

I would love to glam up a bit with some interesting but still practical and warm tops.

At the bottom of the page I linked to there is a link to Store Locator.

I can only only afford the sale prices too - and I can't really afford those at the moment! But dreaming is free....

I like the Crew website, but sadly most of the things I like are out of stock in my size

same with Joules

Why do I always miss the decent sale stuff?

Flight have you named changed and back again recently - or has your name always been spelled like that?

I only ask because that's how I lost the second "e" in georgie and never bothered to put it back again!

Wow we've got one where I live! Its in the expensive part of town, the bit I never bother to look in so will be definately checking them out when I hit the sales next week hope they've got stuff left.

Hello Georgi!!

Yes, I have flounced too often to get my old name back, so I was flightattendant1, 2, 3, 4, etc for a while then I did this by mistake and kept it for a while, until I flounce again...

georgimama · 30/12/2008 13:56

I haven't had a little flounce for a while, don't think it would be noticed with all the shennanigans lately though! I want a new name but still want the very few people who might remember my name to know it's me. There's a georgiemum now and though she seems like a perfectly good sort, I don't want to get confused with someone else.

I will do some thinking....
