all you need is skinny black jeans to wear as well as your blue ones i got some really nice ones for 12 pound from primark . then all you need is pump or doll shoes to go with them in the summer like black white and other colours . i live on budget but it can be done and you could proberly manage at least 5 outfits from that money which you can then mix and match to make a whole new wardrobe .

What tigergirl sais. Black skinny jeans and ballet pumps are all you need. Maybe a few long cardis if you've got cash spare to layer over the tops and take you through any change in weather. Use about £20 to buy new bangles/bracelets and dangly earrings (nowhere expensive - Primark or Sainsbury) and that will give a fresh look to your outfits

yeah i bought black super skinny jeans from next for £20 and had £16 on gift card so only spent £4 birthday money.
(except i bought dd 3 leggings )
i have grey and black long cardis already and sis has sent me another 7 tops today so all i need is shoes.
i looked at ballet pumps in next for ideas but are they comfortable, for walking miles with dd. i had a pair of silver ballet pumps for dds christening and they took the skin off my heels and i binned them. has anyone got any comfy ones?

thanks for the help btw.

There was a link in another thread for an M&S pair of ballet shoes that were supposed to be fab. Other posters claimed to have walked miles in them and felt like they were bare-foot Will try to find link....

I think doll shoes are Mary-Janes. You know, the ones with a round toe and a strap over the foot usually done up with a buckle (or velcro in these enlightened times). More comfortable than ballet pumps I think, though I've never had Mary-Janes so wouldn't know.

doll shoes are like pumps but they have a thin elastic over the toe part of foot and keeps the shoes still so they don t rub
