I have had good advice here before and thought i would get your advice before I hit the shops in the morning

  1. Blazer - I am broad shouldered and big boobed (34F) so do not want shoulder pads or anything double breasted - any advice on where i can get a well cut blazer cheap ish (about £50 if poss) I am thinking GAP is the obvious place to head but if anyone has other suggestions please send them over. Don't want black ta.
  1. Suspect it is a tulip skirt I am after to wear with the blazer but maybe a pencil skirt would suit my figure more? I am a size 14, huge norks. Quite like print/ brighter colour on skirts. Budget: modest (£40 max)

What can I wear show wise with the above - don't really fancy those cage sandal things but would like something 'now' am trying to look a bit more with it!

Thanks if you can help

i'm back now and still window shopping. Not a tee, but would look great with other bits

those reverse ts are odd though, they do look liek they are inside out.

mrsmaidamess · 16/05/2009 12:42

I like them, all washed out looking (like me)

EarlyAdopter · 16/05/2009 12:48

NO NONO
the one i got for ds just looked shoddy

I bought this top yesterday. I don't normally like those gathered waists but this one sat nicely on top of my jeans

Quick update - I got the blazer and skirt wore a v neck t shirt i found at the back of my wardrobe, and felt pretty damn good in it, great job everyone, thank you! All v reasonably priced too so DH happy aswell.

My next night out is going to see the Specials...i might be back on for ska inspired outfit for the slightly out of shape 36 year old... now that is a tough brief!
