Those of you with THAT HM gypsy skirt...
... I washed mine for the first time last week... it came out fine... but it is a total bugger to iron!!!
BTW... as some of you may know... not only do I have it in that gorgeous green and the black one too... I was lucky enough to finally find one in white and in my size at the weekend.
I love these skirts so much... they are sooooo comfy look totally fab on! Though I might have to hang them better and steam them in the future after washing!
Answer:
I have the black one, and was considering getting the white one today as well - but I never find underwear suitable for wearing with white bottoms!!
Do you have a pic of the black one at all? I want one for my Photobucket account, ATM I have a pic of the green one that I nicked off you! :o
Answer:
Get the white one NOW!!! While you are out... take a visit to MS and get one of their cool slips. I bought one of those last year (had to order specially as I could never find the correct size and length I wanted) and they are soooo perfect for wearing under white skirts... really cool comfortable too.
Here's a pic of my black skirt!
Answer:
I wanna get the black one but I have a white skirt already and prefer the detail on that.
Answer:
I have the black and pale green ones - I wanted white but they didn't have my size and I have no HM round here *weeps*
They are fabulously comfy though. I'm not usually a skirt wearer and always feel self conscious in them at first but I've had loads of good comments when I've worn my black one (not had enough sun for a chance to wear the green!)
Shorts!
NO.2. ask :
Shorts!
OK, I know I've got LOADS but just got some cracking short shorts from Mango for £14.
Got them a size too big for a slightly slouchy effect! They're a browney green sludgey colour and they are quite tailored with a sharp turn-up. Bargain and i think they'll look great with a loose top and my new bronze shoes from kate kuba!!!
Answer:
ooooh... pics please?
Answer:
:D
Answer:
I like those, you've got to have the legs for them though - unfortunately I haven't!
Answer:
well i have to say that the lighting in mango is *ahem* NOT the best !!!
funky wellies??
NO.3. ask :
funky wellies??
Hi,
Has anyone seen any funky wellies in the shops? I know New Look had some pretty reasonably priced a couple of months back but there isn't one near where I live/work so I'd have to make a special journey. I thought I'd ask you ladies first!
I'm going to Glastonbury so want some in case it is muddy but don't want to spend a fortune as I probably won't get that much use out of them
Thanks
Answer:
haven't seen any in the shops recently, but try some of the places recommended on this thread:
Answer:
Thanks - i'll have a look!
Not strictly fashion, but what are you doing today?

Not strictly fashion, but what are you doing today?
The title says it all really!
I have a nice relaxing 'me' day planned today - once I've come off here (and sorted out my arm which I just branded - literally - with my GHD's) I'm going to pop into town and look for all the things I never remember, then I'm working for an hour and a half and then going to a ballet lesson, then finishing off some college work, probably while drinking Baileys!!
Just wondering what the rest of you have planned?
Answer:
Much stress and tediousness, so no different from most other days then! I'm tutoring at eleven, have a supervisor meeting at 12 and then a gym visit. After that I've got a lecture to write, a study schedule to plan and supper to prepare. The Simpsons will probably be the high point of my day!

Answer:
Morning!
Boring day for me - at work doing my usual PA duties, trying not to get too excited about my house move (at one point yesterday we thought it would be next Friday :eek: but now it looks like it'll be about 3 weeks). After work we'll be going to view the new house to measure up for windows, then we'll being having dinner and I'll be watching Corrie. Woo hoo. :rolleyes:
Answer:
Oooh Bibbitybob I want your day!
I will be working until about 18:30 booking guests for a new show which I find incredibly dull and uninspiring.
The high point of my day will be a yummy lunch in the bar at work and my breakfast which I'll be fetching in a minute.
This evening I will be walking home then going for a huge run up to and around Hyde Park with my boyfriend before settling down with some home made soup, crusty bread and Desperate Housewives. If I can get the run done in less than an hour I might be able to catch a bit of Grand Designs as well!
Wow I'm exciting!

Answer:
I'm on annual leave, so I can go to a job interview and assessment all afternoon... :eek:
Wish me luck!
Wedding outfit
NO.5. ask :
Wedding outfit
I need to buy an outfit for a wedding.
The problems are I'm a size 18 (with mahoosive breasts) and I live in Jeans and black!
I want to dress up as my partner is going to be dressed up to the nines as he has a role in the wedding.
Anyone have any ideas for someone who really doesn't have a clue?
Answer:
What's your budget? Monsoon have got some lovely occasion wear in - I would start with the skirt/top combo if I were you. Something like the Gypsophelia skirt and top would be lovely.
If you are used to living in jeans, I wouldn't go for anything too formal or you'll feel like a trussed turkey all day. Better to be comfortable and look happy :)

Answer:
I was going to just ask this question. I'm the same (size 18, wear jeans sneakers minus the massive breasts). I need to buy an outfit for a wedding in July - I think the reception is going to be in a marque (sp?) so I'll need something which won't let me get too cold. I have to confess I haven't got a clue about fashion so this might be a silly question but is it to early to start looking for clothes to wear in July?
Thanks,
Joey
Answer:
Personally I wouldn't leave it to the last minute like I have Joeyanne as I need an outfit for next Saturday!!!!
I went into Monsoon earlier today Rocktart. The staff were lovely and fussed around me getting things they thought would be nice. I was a bit overwhelmed to be honest and decided I needed to think about it for a day or 2 before deciding. I think you're right about the skirt and top combo as anything too fussy would have me fidgeting about all day. I must admit though I would like to shock my fella as he is a 'matching tie and cufflinks' kinda guy and he has only really seen me in jeans!
Is the sizing in Monsoon generous as an 18 was massive on me and I easily fit into a 16? :yay:
Answer:
Evan's has some lovely dressy clothes at the moment. Lots of tops and trouser/skirt combo's. That's where i'm planning on getting my wedding outfit for my friends wedding in July (but i am a bit bigger than you both, size 22)
