just my silly thread, of ideas for me to go through

[carriedababi]

feel free to comment on anything if you wish, equally feel free to ignore.


right carrie you need 1 pair of boot cut jeans
and some decent thick tights.

and a causal dress and a top or two..

no getting silly going out things, you cannot afford it you need practical day things!

I have this peacocks dress which is similar to your mink one and less money, its washed well so far (on handwash cycle in machione)

and they do it in grey also.

I'll stop stalking you now- I seem to be on all your threads!

[overmydeadbody]

the dress is good. Fits the casual dress criteria but can also be glammed up for going out.

I may just use this thread mylsef is that is ok?

[notamumyetbutoneday]

www.peacocks.co.uk/Womenswear/Dresses/Day_Dresses/DARK_BLUE_COWL_NECK_JUMPER_DRESS_-42281170.html sorry

[overmydeadbody]

you do not need the £110 dress!

[carriedababi]

50quid green dress

[overmydeadbody]

good value peakocks dress, but I was under the impression peacocks was for old ladies, or am I thinking of another shop?

[overmydeadbody]

don't like the green one, too chunky

[carriedababi]

red impractial sleeveless top do not buy carrie

hblack impractical top

[notamumyetbutoneday]

I think it was OMDB, but they 'revamped' a couple of years ago and have had some great buys over the last few months especially. I prefer to buy online as the shop itself can be a bit of a bunfight- ona saturday when i would go, anyway.

[carriedababi]

not a mummy, thanks for link, i don't suit blue but i like this

omdb, yes please feel free to use this thread too
we can do a virtual shopping trip together.
which dress did you think was good?

[notamumyetbutoneday]

Yes very nice. If you want help re: sizing, Im usually squeezing out of a size 12 but found the 10-12 in the blue one fits perfectly (they do annoying 10-12, 14-16 sizes).

[carriedababi]

this is a bit too dressy for doing my sahm things

[carriedababi]

like this too but a bit too dressy for everyday

[notamumyetbutoneday]

Oh I LOVE the wrap dress. I dont think thats too dressy- maybe for everyday but there are sure to be occasions when you would wear it. its a very classic style. The first one would date quickly IMO.

[carriedababi]

i'd like the wrap with bright pink tight and bright pink beads...

plain green top

[carriedababi]

black top short sleevs again

[kateecass]

ooh that mink dress is nice might steal your idea!

[carriedababi]

black cowl neck dress

kate feel free, i think i prefer the mink to the black one ive just linked as ive got dark hair and it stands out more against mink rather than black.
the mink ones not bad for 45, or where you thinkinf of the peacocks one?

[carriedababi]

too dressy again, but just thought i'd add it

[carriedababi]

brown cable dress

beown ruffle wrap

[carriedababi]

coast top

[NorkilyChallenged]

Oooh thanks for the link to those Peacocks dresses, I am sorely tempted!

Carrie - my favourite of your casual dresses so far is the black cowl neck Oasis one. I've had my eye on that though would prefer to spend a bit less really (for something that's essentially going to have yoghurt, snot and drool all over it most days)

How do you feel about kimono sleeves?

And had you seen this khaki dress is £30 in the sale. Lots of other lovely colours but everything other than khaki is £50.

[carriedababi]

NORKILY, THANKS YES I HAD SEEN THAT kahaki dress, scuse caps
i quite like it.

im not too keen on the other one as i find those polo type neck a bit restrictive
but thansk very much for the links
