I found some bargains and found some things that people were looking for!
I went shopping today!:yay:
I found that primark had for sale some racer back tops, they had green, white, purple, black and a salmon pink colour(but I was only interested in purple and black and they didn't have my size), they were 3 or 4 pounds each I think and were plain (I think Little Missy was looking for some?) My primark had load and loads of contrast trim boyshorts in for 2 pounds each.
And i'm not sure if this is flavour of the month anymore but peacocks are selling sequin boleros in gold and silver.
And if you like Emily Strange or Scary Missy mary Tees get thee down to TK Maxx, there selling them for 9.99 instead of 25.99! :yay: :yay: :yay:
And Etam have a shrug in that without discount was only 10 pounds!

thanks

Answer:
I got a nice Kaftan style top out of Warehouse this week, it's on their website but the pic looks horrible. It's much better in real life! It's pinkish reddy colour and will look nice with jeans or over a bikini. They also had oodles of them in Primark for just cheapie ones :)
Answer:
oodles is such a great word :lol:
I got a white linen one from Primark a while ago. It is lovely.

Am going to Center Parcs next weekend . On the Saturday night there is a themed "Television Party". I want to go as Rose (Billie Piper) from Doctor Who.
The only problem is that I don't remember her having an 'outfit' as such. She just seems to wear normal clothes to me, which is good cos it'll mean I should be able to find something in my wardrobe. But how will people recognise me? Any ideas would be appreciated!
Answer:
No replies? :( Have actually changed my mind and now want to go as Buffy! Any ideas?
Answer:
I'm not sure about Buffy, she didn't really have an identifiable thing either.
A few weeks ago in Doctor Who Rose was wearing a Union Jack tshirt, they made a big thing of it because it was in the middle of WW2. I think she had a pink jacket on too.

Answer:
Buffy tends to wear leather a lot, especially trousers. You'd have to have tight-fitting clothes, big hair and a stake!

Answer:
I think you should go as Barbarella :) ok, thats not TV :lol:
Flip flops
NO.4. ask :
Flip flops
I go on my jollies in two weeks and have more or less no holiday style footwear :eek: if I had my own way I'd go bare foot but its not practical ;)
I think I'm just going to buy a few pairs of cheap flip-flops, but the thing is I have inherited bunions which I hate, and would do anything to cover them up.
Does anyone know of any flip flops that would disguise my feet :o :(
Answer:
no-one?
Answer:
How about some of those slide type sandals, you know with the thickish horizontal part that holds the sandal on? There are some really pretty ones about in the shops.
I have to confess that I'm not absolutely certain where bunions appear - are they on the toes or the wide part just below the toes?
How would you wear these?

How would you wear these?
2 Attachment(s) Hi, i know there are some of you that do have these items, and even if you don't have them i was wondering how you do/would wear them? I'm not very good at accessorising or putting outfits together, so i tend to look a bit boring :lol: iyswim. So i need some help, i'm a size 10 - 12, and don't know what sort of trousers/ jeans to wear with them, or colours, or jewelery, shoes, whatever lol.
Any help would be appreciated :throb:
Shushi.
Answer:
Hi, shushi :wave:
I have the same items as you!! I am also a size 10-12!
I will wear my grey stitch waistcoast with a long sleeved black cotton top, and the waistcoast on top, and i will wear mine with either black/indigo skinny jeans, and either black or silver peep toe heels.
I will wear my mushroom cardigan, with a black vest top, and an elasticated clinch belt on top, with inidigo skinny jeans and either gold flats or bronze peep toes.
Answer:
I wear the oatmeal cardi unbuttoned with black skinny jeans, pumps and a tee
StyleDiary
Going to wear it with indigo jeans and brown boots and a gold chain too :) Oh and over pretty tea style dresses, opaques and boots :great:
I'd wear the other cardi pretty much the same but maybe not with dresses. Being grey it will go with most colours, black, red, indigo, brown, white, cream etc... a long sleeve black and white stripey top would look lovely under it!
Answer:
Thanks! Looks like i'll have to buy some black skinny jeans, never really thought they would suit me as i have bigish hips, but you've changed my mind, will have to go hunting for some now :D Cat i may just have to buy that top too ;) looks great!
Kiran, wow that's good to know i have some taste haha, and your ideas sound great, and i have black vests and silver/gold flats so at least i can make up some outfits without having to spend loads.
Thanks again :throb: , will look around for the other stuff you suggested too
