Re: Items to which I am allured
Yes, sadly I didn’t see a photo. I thought Emma was just doing an (unsurprising) u-turn. But if she did order them and they arrived, a photo is definitely in order!

Re: Items to which I am allured
It absolutely fucking was!
There was no photographic evidence! They looked like boats on my feet. Massive bright sparkling white boats with a not really very nice strawberry pattern. They wouldn’t have gone with anything else I own! I can’t stop laughing about it. I was so sure they would be amazing

I can't believe you ordered them!
Saying that, I have ordered myself a pair (plain black & on offer) for the garden. And I am eyeing these up.

Poor emma. It is the least surprising news ever though.

Re: Items to which I am allured
I love those trainers, too, Skips. Gorgeous.
I'm really allured to these, but showed my sister and she said they might be gorgeous and they might just be super-expensive pyjama bottoms. I was kind of picturing wearing them with sandals or converse-style pumps. Suspect I might need to order them to see. Also, I've never ordered from Sweaty Bettuy, do you know if they come up big/small/normal generally? Would welcome any opinions!

Re: Items to which I am allured
Generally true to size, I think. Make sure you get a money off code too, if you can. I like them!
I think you can refer people too, but that offer isn’t as good as the newsletter sign up offer.

I'm not a fan, but what do I know? It reminds me that I've been looking at SB's leggings but balking at the price. I need to look for a code!

Re: Items to which I am allured
They'd look good on some people (those people wouldn't be me), those. I find SB sizing quite true.
Lazz, I only buy things from them when they do 20 % off their 50% sale . Even then I'm not convinced it's worth it (I've got one pair that definitely were but the others could be from anywhere, to be honest).

Re: Items to which I am allured
That's my fear - for the price, I expect to look like a supermodel in them. If that's not the case, I may as well remain a basic bitch in standard sportswear from M&S.

Re: Items to which I am allured
The pair I rate are the zero gravity bum sculpting* variety, they're worth the £40 or whatever it was I ended up paying. But the others- I've got Nike and Matalan (that fine purveyor of sports wear) leggings I rate more.
*there is plenty to sculpt with

Re: Items to which I am allured
The bum sculpting ones are good, but I now much prefer the prints at Tikiboo. I usually buy Sweaty Betty in the sale too, or eBay often has decent ones.

Re: Items to which I am allured
Bum-sculpting, check. Never heard of Tikiboo, will have a look. When you mention eBay, Pip, do you mean a SB outlet on there or something else? Ta, sportswear fans!
