don't blow raspberries please please but i do need help!

have got to get a boden 'frock or equivalent' for this 'ere haiku party

i'm guessing that i can't ask for the whole outfit that i happily put together this morning

am size 18 apple - 5'9 - and very very big on the ribcage with relatively small gazongas (40D) so anything that comes in under the bust makes me look like ten ton trucker IMO

i have NO clothes except for one pair reasonable jeans (dark blue, low rise, boot cut) and conversely one very long and studenty top from Next. if it wasn't compulsory boden i would wear these together.

any help?? green, grey, white I like, midblues also look nice on me

choosy we need to find out exactly what the deal is re winnings. it would be mingy to just restrict you to a frock, hopefully there will be shoes too. boden shoes are really great quality.

and frock equivalent = jeans / top i am sure.

fishie thanks so much for being a fashion first responder.

that's all the information i have!!

well i guess if i start off by wearing my jeans and then ask for a shirt and cardi, that would be reasonable?

not sure about shoes too

SuS if you are who I think you are, you have a WAIST [a pretty good one]. I do not have a waist. therefore i do not wear belts.

however [thunk] i suppose my one and only low rise jeans could do with a belt.

[checks out summer preview]

oh YES!
THIS IS ME what do you think??

choosyfloosy · 23/02/2010 19:46

well i dunno cyb

i guess i am not strong enough to say no to freebie from Johnnie and INSIST on wearing my slightly curling at the edges Next top

but i could go for shoes only now that summer preview solution has been cruelly dashed from my hips

choosyfloosy · 23/02/2010 19:48

SuS
are you reading to your ds from the Boden catalogue?
'maria's favourite holiday is Kangali Island in the maldives and she is wearing a fun necklace from page 306'

anyway, the only info i have is 'frock or equivalent' and instructions for ordering mention 'item' singular

OP posts:
cyb · 23/02/2010 19:49
