How do you wear yours?......
.......wrap dresses.
Over trousers, footless tights, pumps, boots etc etc
What way do you think looks best.
I've eventually invested in a wrap dress (after much threatening to do so). I was just thinking of wearing it over trousers for a more casual look but after trying it I'm not so sure.
So how do you prefer to wear them?
Answer:
I have only worn mine once for a job interview. I wore it with a pink cami top underneath the discuise the norks, and with tights and black pointy shoes. Very boring but it got me the job.
FOr a night out however (mine is plain black) I would wear it with brightly coloured shoes probably my red ones of glittery ones, and some bright funky jewlery.:)
Answer:
I don't own one as they look rubbish on me for some reason :( But I think they look lovely over jeans! Casablancas has a nice pic in her style diary of a wrap dress over jeans, it looks fab :)
ETA - here , hope she doesn't mind me posting it!
Answer:
I have mainly worn mine for work in the winter so have worn a vest top underneath it for modest warmth. Always with boots tights and an interesting necklace or beads to liven it up a bit.
Answer:
Oh wow, I love that tailcoat in Casablancas style diary!!!! :faint:

I want a new style for the summer, to help shed some of my 'shabby studentness', seeing as I will finally be a grown up!!
can anyone suggest a few outfits/key items to get me started? I think this summer I'm going to be striving for casual girlness :think:
Inspire me, please :D
Answer:
edit:
-First key item: shorts
This winter i didnt really pick up on the shorts trend, because IMHO, shorts look abit ridiculous with tights. :o But this summer, one of my key looks will be colourful and denim mooch shorts (the latter being something I have had my eye on for a while) with plain tops and converse/pumps. I think that is one of the best summer looks
-Second key item: dresses
I actually ahvent owned a dress for several years now, but this year I am ultra determined to buy a whole lot of cheap and cheerful summer dresses, mainly made of linen like (only cheaper :p ) materials.
-Third key item: a good pair of sunnies
I actually won't be doing this, because I wear glasses, but it has made me realise even more how great they look. :great: if you can, definitely get them!
-Fourth and final key item: t-shirts
Last summer, I was mainly wearing vests in different colours, etc. This winter, I mainly wore nice ladylike jumpers, etc. This summer, I know that it will be teehisrts. In fact I have already started this and have got a cookie monster teeshirt from camden. I think this is a much more 'young' look than my previous vest look and I really love it! I have also seen some really nice but expensive tees in urban outfitters, 25 pounds a throw and I think I will invest in ONE of them for this summer.
HTH, and I must admit, I had a great time :D
Answer:
have got a cookie monster teeshirt from camden.
Oh God! I bought one from Camden when I was 20 - is it white and with a huge pic of him on the front and back?
I never wore mine, it made ME look like the Cookie Monster ..waste of £5!
Answer:
well it was from camden and a fiver :eek:
(but i got the blue one :p )
I've actually tried it on, i really like it
Answer:
thanks Klosie :great:
shorts - I already have quite a few pairs, including some similar to the TS mooch ones, which I got from oasis last year - so will be digging them out!! what shoes though?!
Lush Mustard Yellow Shoes ...

Lush Mustard Yellow Shoes ...
Has anyone seen anything similar to these gorgeous pups ?
I :throb: them, but they cost £169 (Hugo Boss) which is a little too much for me right now... anyone seen a similar, cheaper, highstreet pair around at all?
I've gotta scoot for a bit now - but I will come back reply later. Promise. :)
Answer:
CIC has some shoes quite similar in style and colour from Oasis. THey have a slight platform if I remember correctly
Answer:
Here are minebut they are a tan colour...
I'm sure topshop have a few mustard coloured shoes in :)
Answer:
Hehe im getting old you see, my memory isnt what it used to be :p
Answer:
thanks guys - love your shoes CiC, they are gorge. :throb: But I need and I want mustard! My latest obsession!
There is a new Hugo Boss Store which has opened on Sloane Square. I walk past it each morning and they have those beautiful mustard yellows in their window display - just kind of waving at me - at first it was a little "hiya - we're here" which then turned into a "go on - come in and check us out in the flesh" ... now I have tried them and I so, so *want* them. It's driving me quackers! :crazy:
Tragically for me though, with a £169 price tag I can neither afford them - nor justify them (in process of trying to buy a flat), so I will try and be good for as long as I can ... but if you see anything similar, with a more regular high-street price tag - let me know?
For now, check me out: I'm such an :angel: huh? ;)
ETA: I have just realised that putting 'LUSH' in the title of this thread may confuse baggers into thinking these shoes are made by LUSH. OOPS! :o
