KM Clover Dress
I know a couple of people ordered this and I was just wondering what you think and how you're going to wear it.
I just got mine and I :throb: the sleeve detail and think it's really pretty, but possibly a bit long for me.
It's actually a good couple of inches above my knees and perhaps not all my clothes need to be ass skimming so that may be a good thing, but I don't think it's showstopping with black tights and black vintage boots which is my default day wear.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for ways to wear it. Grey rib tights and ankle boots were my immediate thoughts and I also thought about wearing grey over the knees on top of black opaques, but would that look a bit wierd?
Any ideas much appreciated.

Answer:
I think grey otk socks with no tights if it's longer. Think that's fine for daywear.

Hi there,
I'm going on holiday next week and I'm desperate for some black bikini bottoms to team up with some other tankinis. Eveywhere has ditched everything summery and it's all winter stock. What do people do when they are going on holiday slightly out of season? It's only September! Does anyone know anywhere that is still stocking them? Please help!! :confused:
Answer:
Hi, I know topshop still have some on their website and other sites still have them. Such as figleaves. I know most shops don't have swim wear in for the fall winter season which is a pain as I'm going on my hols in Oct...
I hope this helps.
Answer:
Most big department stores stock a few swimwear basics all year round.

Answer:
I got some from Marks and Spencer a few weeks ago, have a look on the website, they should still have some.
Answer:
HI there,
I have finnaly found some after looking everywhere. I asked in Tesco and she went in the back and brought me out all sorts in my size!! So I'm sorted. It shouldn't be so difficult though, it's only 19th September!

hi
I am going to a wedding at the end of the month, and in a moment of maddness bought a purple knee length bubble dress to wear. The dress is actually amazing, but I haven't got a clue what to wear with it. Black seems too dark.
The wedding is a dress up affair but I don't want to look to gaudy - I have a pair of silver metalic peep toe shoes but they seem a little too bright.
Any ideas? (the purple is quite a bright one).
Answer:
It's not from HM is it? I tried one on there in a lovely purple during the summer.
If it is a lovely vivid purple then a metallic neutral might work - perhaps a less "bright" gold or silver shoe? Navy, as opposed to black might work too.
Depending on your colouring you could go for clashing brights. Wearing an equally strong red or pink - I'm thinking patent - with purple would look amazing on someone with a skin tone that can take brights.
I'm thinking, say pink patent shoes, a red-patent clutch, a single strong colour on your face (red lipstick or purple eyeshadow say).....and that's it.
edit: Sorry, you said you didn't want to look gaudy. Doh! Maybe stick with subtle gold then....it's quite classic with purple.
Answer:
I think the dress sounds nice, and that is some good advice from OJO... I don't see that there is anything wrong with the silver shoes and the dress.
If there's anything I've learnt recently about dressing on occasions like this, when you are actually at the wedding, you would either blend in or you may not be as 'obvious' as you think. I recently went to a wedding and wore a dress with silver shoes white pashmina, I thought this was a little odd but I didn't have much time to work on what I was wearing and the whole time before I kept fretting about my outfit and if it would look odd or silly... once I was at the wedding, I wouldn't have thought anybody thought anything of it... everyone was quite dressed up and I think I blended in ok.
Just as long as you don't take any attention away from the bride, you'll be fine ;) :)
Winter Legwear
NO.4. ask :
Winter Legwear
What will you be wearing on your legs this winter? I mean in terms of tights, knee socks etc rather than trousers.
Last year ribbed tights were very popular and grey tights before that. What is going to be big in legwear this year?
Knee socks seem to be gaining popularity (I know some people have been wearing them for ages anyway) but I don't think I can get away with them. But I feel last year's ribbed tights are looking a bit tired and I don't know what to replace them with.
Answer:
I can't do knee socks... my legs are far too short chubby to pull them off :o
My usual autumn/winter style is to wear trousers, but I might try and wear a few more dresses skirts this year and wear tights... I did this very few times last winter, although I quite liked it, it's usually just a copout for me easier to wear trousers.
Answer:
It would appear that bright coloured opaques are on their way in this year though :think: but they're a bit loud for me, don't know if I could pull them off.
Answer:
I wore bright coloured opaques last winter/spring (which doesn't seem that long ago) and will do so again. Turquoise is a particular favourite.
Probably also some more subtle school-uniform coloured opaques e.g. mossy green.
I've been looking with interest at various fashion shoots showing long, coloured socks BUT I can't fathom how I'd wear them. With bare thighs would defeat the object - and be way too high maintenance and tarty for daytime. Over opaques could work, but I'm still not sure about the shoes. Long socks with heels smacks of Lolita to me.... long socks with flats, like actual schoolgirls. Possibly all the above with ankle boots, but since I'll probably buy ankle boots in black, it would look too 80s with the bright colours.
:cmdunno: It's a minefield.
Answer:
I wouldnt wear the bright opaque's - i dont think id pull them off!
Im gunna stick to jeans black and dark denim and maybe leggings.
see by chloe sizing/NAP discount codes?

see by chloe sizing/NAP discount codes?
hey guys
on NAP there is a nice t-shirt i want by see by chloe, does anyone know what the sizing is like? Im in between a 10-12 and they have both sizes in stock but im just wondering which size to order.
also are there any discount codes? the top i want is £25 so i dont really think it merits a £10 pp charge
Answer:
£10 PP is a rip off.
I wouldnt bother. Have you tried Ebay?
Answer:
nah im not a major fan of ebay to be honest. plus ive been a bit down lately cos i tore the ligament in my knee so i fancied buying myself something nice to cheer myself up, and i dont think ebay is gonna hit that fancy lol
Answer:
see by chloé is pretty true to size, but it's quite small in the bust so if you have big boobs you might want to get the size up if it's not a stretchy fabric.
i think NAP exchanges are free of charge so if they have both sizes in stock you could always exchange it.
Answer:
I find See by Chloe true to generous in their sizing; I buy my usual size and the tees tend to be on the loose side, but that's the kind of fit I prefer. I also have a relatively small bust, which may make a difference. Could you measure a tee that you own and compare the sizing to the NAP charts?
ETA: There hasn't been an NAP code for yonks :cmdunno:
