Items to which I am allured

[Squirrel]

Unfortunately I can't justify the dress :cry:. I think I'd like to buy it and just put it on for no reason every now and then though .

[emma_p]

What about arranging a first wedding anniversary dinner and buying it to wear to that

[Squirrel]

you are a genius.

[Pippedydeadeye]

That's a gorgeous dress.

The striped top is Oasis, Lily.

The reviews on pilling did put me off the knitted dress. It's on sale already, so no further discount. I was tempted but I think I will probably basket dance until it goes out of stock. I do want something like it though. For my pale winter clothes lifestyle. :ella:

[Heebie Jeebie]

Did I say something wrong about pale winter clothes? I meant I struggle to find something to wear on my legs and feet that works.

[Pippedydeadeye]

No, not at all. I don't have a pale winter clothes lifestyle is what I mean. I have a son whose sole mission in life is to wipe whatever orange substance is on his hands and face onto my person. :))

[Squirrel]

As it's in the sale already I think you should get it.

[Pippedydeadeye]

It *can* always go back...

[emma_p]

Those defuzzers are good if it does go bobbly.

[Pippedydeadeye]

We have to regularly shave an armchair with one. :))

[Squirrel]

You've reminded me I need a new defuzzer. My last one was a much older version of this, is there something better or shall I go for this one?

I tend to trust Remington on these matters.

[Squirrel]

I see Lakeland do one and I'm walking past there tomorrow so that could be the answer. My life is so exciting .

[Pippedydeadeye]

I've ordered the dress, and I will try it on upon collection and then I can return instantaneously if necessary. Thank you all for facilitating for my imaginary lake dress life. :) the boobular bit will bobble the second I look at it.

[Lily]

I use sellotape

I agree with Ordering And Think About It. It is a good way of doing things.

Emma, sorry just saw your post ... excuse the sweatpants but I can't fit jeans over my bandage. It's very snuggly. You can imagine jeans and boots, and I'll imagine the fisherman and the labrador. (I put on a bra just for this photo :lol: )

[H1ppychick]

I like the cuffs, Lily. Knowing me I'd drag them through my dinner if I wore anything like that.

I hope your recovery is going as well as possible and is as painless as possible too.

[Pippedydeadeye]

It's a lovely jumper. It's basically the price of two cheaper ones and will probably last longer than a cheaper one.

[Derek Nimmo]

What Pip said. Also, everyone should have at least one seriously warm jumper in their wardrobe - it's a staple.

[Squirrel]

Couldn't agree more. It looks lovely and cosy and I don't think that's too expensive for the reason Pip said.

[Lily]

Thank you all for your replies! I think the point about the cost is a good one - I bought several jumpers from New Look which must have cost about £20 each and they all went horrid and bobbly, and didn't last more than a few months. I need to buy fewer items but better quality ones.

I have my hand on my hip to keep myself stable not as a pose :lol: Thank you Hippy, the pain has decreased and my mobility's improved but it's a slow process and I'm very tired. Fortunately I've always been talented at sleeping. ;)

I am excited about the jumper joining my wardrobe.
