Ok, i'm back and had lunch.
Phew, knackered!
right review:
Monsoon
had NONE of the dresses we had picked out to try on
they only had the coat in black and white, i tried it on but it felt a bit too stiff to be comofortable.
tried on a few bits, ended up buying:
this dress
{DH doesn't like it, it is too thin for next week and not v flattering so going back}
and
this top
attempting to match a skirt I've already got but I don't like all the lace so going back too!
= not a great success but......a size 10
M&S
had NO dresses AT ALL wtf?
anyway, got some of those jeans that sit on the waist, again size 12 too big, yey, bought the 10's but DH thinks they are too tight will keep them though.
Took the chance to go for a bra measurement - more good news am a 34B
so bought a few plain ones.
Debenhams
the chilly dresses would have been way too cold so didn't try them on.
tried
this dress
but i don't have the boobs required, too baggy at the top.
bought a shirt just for normal wear.
and found some new in dresses that looked lovely.
I bought a (size 10 again ) gorgeous green one, silky, lined with a flowery type pattern on the top.
Can't see it anywhere on the website though, will have to take a photo and put on profile!
{most importantly DH thinks it's lovely too}
awkwardly, I don't think I have anything that will match it re shoes, jewellery, jacket, etc......
Next
No purple dress, jacket or that cream suit. Hardly anything really, didn't try anything on.
H&M
(forgot to mention them before)
Got some casual tops + another navy one that might match the skirt i already have.
The dresses they did have were pretty yucky if i'm honest!
And bad news - i'm a 14 in there
So, several hours, lots of money & sore feet later....I have a dress with no link! will go and get a photo sorted in a mo.
Still tempted to try a bigger Monsoon in London on Saturday morning to find either the blue dress with flowers or the blue stripy silky one.
