Title says it all reallly. Since having kids I seem to wonder round the shops aimlessly like a lost soul.

Am 5ft9, size 14. Apple shaped.

Seen any outfits for me? Was wanting something that I can wear after the wedding to Christmas do's IYKWIM?

what do you like? are you after a dress or separates, have you shoes??

notyummy · 13/10/2009 21:46

OK

Where did you used to shop, and what did you like?

What kind of budget?

walkingonthemoon · 13/10/2009 21:50

Be patient with me.....

Dress if poss, want to be a bit glam (as I live in jeans and need a bit of glam!

Have got black strappies, but would like to get a pair of shoes or boots at the same time?

Don't really want to spend more than £100 - less if poss!

On your marks, get set, go!!!

Very first shots - tell me what you think and it may help narrow it down...

walkingonthemoon · 13/10/2009 21:59

Hi

The first is a bit busy printwise - I like something a little more understated I think?

Liking number 2 better but with it being nearly Nov may be a little cold (strappy!!!)

What do you think - too informal?

OP posts:
walkingonthemoon · 13/10/2009 22:10

OOOOOOH - I like - but is it too fitted for me? Will have to try on, but live v near a John Lewis...

OP posts:
notyummy · 13/10/2009 22:10

Nice - but wouln't say it's glam.

Perhaps nice to be a bit more dressy for a wedding?

(Without outshining the bride or looking like a hooker obviously.....)

If this is the other one you were looking at above, then it looks v nice - hits the classy but glam factor bang on, i think.
