That's so pretty, Pip. I really want the wisteria print one now.

Pretty much all the constituent parts of this top are things I dislike in tops so I really don't know why I like it. It kind of looked cute, hanging there, on a nice spring like day, I suppose.

I really love a midi skirt. I sport them often. It's lovely Pip.

Sorry Smal! :)) I agree with others that say that it could suit you and you could make it look nice (!) but I just hate that type of top.

I know but I felt bad! I am blunt but well meaning.

I think you should buy the top when it inevitably goes in the sale Smal.
I've ordered the dress just now. I'll see how it is for length when it arrives.

Re: Items to which I am allured
I've been after some all-american winter boots and these are now in the sale. We're meant to have a snowstorm tonight so would be handy. Would I look ridiculous wearing these in the UK? In weather appropriate times, of course.

I wouldn't let that bother me when it's snowing. Fuck everybody else. I nearly bought a less fluffy version of those in black a few weeks ago :)).

Are they supposed to look like two entirely different shoes, stitched together?

I have definitely seen people wearing a version of those in the UK. I think that's all I have to say on the matter

Re: Items to which I am allured
I have a less fluffy version of those in black. I would say go for it, like Ella says, when it's snowing I don't care what anyone thinks of my footwear, I'm more concerned with staying warm/upright (last time it snowed heavily it turned into a skating rink near to where I lived, I was one of the few people that didn't fall over (in my ugly footwear)).

Re: Items to which I am allured
:)) Yes, they're called duck boots. Classic americana.
They have them in black too but the bottom bit is really, really shiny. Too shiny!
I can't believe that on wednesday Liv and I had summer dresses and sandals on and we are preparing for a snowstorm tonight. WTF?!

Skips is right. I'd be too busy attempting to stay upright to be able to laugh at your boots.

I think they're really cute.
I am not known for my good taste, however. :))

Re: Items to which I am allured
Thoughts on this jacket for work? It's too expensive but it's in the sale. It's silvery-grey. Is it too elderly? My office is freezing and v corporate.

Ooh it's very Alicia from the Good Wife. I like it and am slightly sad that I have no occasion in my life to wear something like that.

Re: Items to which I am allured
Thanks. It might not be right for me at all, but I've ordered it and can always return it if I look a little too matriarchal in it.
