My turn to do the begging - anyone going to Primark?
If anyone is going to Primark, if there's any waistcoats could you please pick one up for me? Ideally a black or grey one would be great, not cropped (or halterneck) just a regular length one?
My nearest Primark is almost 2 hours away and I dare not spend a lot! I know I'm a bit behind with this trend but would like to try one out.
Would reeeeeally appreciate it :)
Answer:
oh,I was going tosay-I have a black one from there but its halterneck,although you can t tell from the front-it was £8.
Answer:
Oooh that might be ok then! :think: and at £8 as well! :)
Answer:
I saw loads of these tonight hon, and I would have picked you one up, but you didnt mention a size??
Answer:
Oh $hit yeah lol! I'm a 12, but I'm probably too late now :(

Has anyone seen any nice ones recently?
Answer:

sorry I've gone all mad this afternoon....
try Topshop and Warehouse, both have great versions and if you use your Grazia mag discount you'll get 20% off from Warehouse but that might run out tomorrow, not sure.
Answer:
I have one from Topshop, £30 its looks great, however I have since washed it, and its very hard to iron, prob needs to be done damp. It seems to have gone a bit shiney in patches!
Answer:
Just bought a nice one from New Look. £18

Thanks!!! Off to check them out at lunchtime!

I returned some stuff on my credit card on the 8th and yesterday it still wasnt credited. Does anyone one know how long this usually takes? I felt so smug taking stuff back , but im getting impatient that it hasnt gone back on now!
thank you!
Answer:
It takes a few days, but remember the banks don't do anything over the weekend, so you need to allow another couple of days.
Dress over trousers
NO.4. ask :
Dress over trousers
Hi ladies,
Just a quick question, I was wondering what you think of dresses over trousers? is this an acceptable look for the winter?
I'm thinking dark brown wide-leg trousers with quite a floaty dress over the top, you know like a chiffony materiel, but lined. The dress is knee length and is a dark beige colour with green, dark brown and red leaves printed on (sounds horrible I know, but its nice in real life!) I know the colours will be fine, but its just the whole look I'm not too sure about.
Thanks for your opinions.
Answer:
Can you post a pic little'un?
Answer:
I really like the dress over trousers look, as long as the proportions are right :)
Answer:
I think that could look quite elegant :)
Answer:
this is a staple look for me and has been for a few years now, bump or no bump.
hard to say if it looks ok, as not every dress suits over trousers/jeans - any chance of a pic? Sounds ok from the description though. i like the contrast of heavy trousers/light dress you've described.

vintage style silver shoes!
has anybody seen any nice vintage style silver shoes?
I love the ones with the kind on knotted front, which ive seen in RI and NL however they have monster heels which would kill me!
im looking for more of a kitten heel sort of thing?
ive looked on ebay but the only ones i can see i like arnt in my size! ( 5 )
Answer:
I am sure I saw lots of low heeled silver shoes in newlook. Try a big branch as they have a great range :)
Answer:
Saw a lovely pair of metallic dark grey (so sort of silver) in Jigsaw with a kitten heel, with the knot bit at the front.
I was very tempted by them, but they were £95. I have to walk past there every day though, so I may yet give in.
Answer:
Those silvery ones in Next look vintage, I think they are lovely
Answer:
I bought these from Office earlier this year and Primark are now doing the exact same style in pale gold, bronze or silver. Pretty sure they're only a tenner too...
