Looks lovely. Do you think purple will go with leggings and the cardi uggs I bought yesterday?

Think dark brown would suit you.

If it is really that perfect I'd get both.

Last year I found the perfect flat over the knee boots. I couldn't decide between brown or black so bought both. This year I couldn't find any I liked but had 2 beautiful pairs. I'll get at least one more winter out of them and I love wearing them. When you find something that you really, really like it's worth buying more than one!

LetThemEatCake · 16/12/2009 20:35

Hi Choo - I think not the purple with those Uggs - brown better imo.
how are your socks?

mm - get this dress, honestly - perfect for bfing.

Thinking about the camel. Just bought my millionth grey dress. I do love them & really like the shark grey but still haven't found anything to wear with the camel boots I bought a few months back (which were a mistake!) 18mo in dd only bfs at home
really so bfing not major concern. My only worry is that it's a bit low cut. I'm a big fan of high necks for some reason.

ooh that is one nice dress. Do you think it would work with no norks?

LetThemEatCake · 16/12/2009 20:42

I have zero norkage, even when bfing.

Am always amazed that my babies gain weight so well, my boobs look so terribly unimpressive, can't imagine how anything life-giving can come from them!!

yes i was worried about the low neck without attendant boobage.

CHOOGIRL · 16/12/2009 20:51

Thanks cake. Socks are divine not worn them yet. Had to hide them as DP washed two pairs of my white co ones in the machine and the are now ruined!

LetThemEatCake · 16/12/2009 20:53

my take on it is this: it makes me look skinnier. If my bony, jutty collar bone is on show, people will notice that rather than my ample hips and behind.

If I had big boobs I'd look fat, plain and simple.

get the dress! what colour do you like?

Love the purple. Grey too. VERY tempted.

cornsilklikeshumous · 16/12/2009 21:15

I like the grey. Am also tempted. Will it be in the sale do you think?

LetThemEatCake · 16/12/2009 21:29

Lovely dress...no good for minx with norks

monkeysmama · 16/12/2009 21:46

I've got big boobs. Well, lots of excess flesh where boobs used to be .

LetThemEatCake · 16/12/2009 21:56

will get back to you on suitability for big boobs tomorrow .. my large-norked friend is going to try the 14 before I send it back

OP posts:
monkeysmama · 16/12/2009 21:57

geordieminx · 16/12/2009 22:00

No idea...sent him link to 3 or 4 I liked.

Unfortunately he gets all my xmas stuff sent to work - and doesnt bring them into the house until I go to bed on xmas eve... spoil sport!!

LetThemEatCake · 16/12/2009 22:02

I linked dh to a few as well .... dying to know which one it was that came today. Secretly hoping for Phoenix Plum

its lovley, esp in the purple. but i fear that if it looks fab on 5'10'' woman with no norks it will look terrible on a 5'5'' woman with huge norks

i suspect it will hang straight down from norks as it has no definition at waist, looking like pg dress

tattycoram · 17/12/2009 19:18

That is very very nice. How was it on your bignorked friend?

overmydeadbody · 17/12/2009 19:20

£70?!?!?
