Re: Items to which I am allured
I've ordered the next size up to compare and should get it today. Shall I let you know how it is?

That dress is gorgeous, smal. I think it would look lovely on you. The other two are very nice too. Very springlike!
Lora, did the bigger size of our skirt come?

Re: Items to which I am allured
It did, and I managed a quick try on before we left yesterday. The larger size is a better fit around the waist but it's so voluminous that I look enormous, so I think they are both going back. I'm seeing more and more spring-like stripes around so am hopeful I'll find something better.Zoomer wrote:Lora, did the bigger size of our skirt come?

Re: Items to which I am allured
Oh, I was worried about that. The too-small one was already quite voluminous around the hips. Dang it. I think I'll leave it too so.

Re: Items to which I am allured
Did you order your pretty dress above, smal? It looks lovely!
I am very keen on this dress, I can't afford it, but may go and try it on today in event, as hopefully it won't fit me, and then I can forget about it. :lol:

That's lovely, Liv.
In a complete contrast to your grown up dress I want this but, y'know...

That's gorgeous, Liv. I like your shopping logic!
Olive, those are super trendy but I expect you can pull them off!

They are not for me, olive (I'm pear-shaped and long waisted, dungarees are really not a flattering look), but I do like them on other people. Too hot for Atlanta, maybe?? :))

Definitely too hot for Atlanta, I don't think I can pull them off either (also pear shaped but I'm also very short) but love them on other people so might give it a go.
I predict this will end in tears!

Those dungarees are super cute. I would look like Humpty Dumpty in similar.
I want these so much!

They have your name written all over them, Pip! :))
In an update, I did try on the red dress at lunchtime, and it doesn't fit me well - my normal size was too big on my top half, and sizing down made it too tight around my hips.
I did buy this top, however, which was 50% off, then another 20% off the marked price today, which made it £24, which I thought was a good buy. So not a wasted effort.

Re: Items to which I am allured
I love that colour, Liv!
Ok so by a strange coincidence I got a 15% discount card from TWC this morning so got the jumper but I'm in 2 minds. I like the colour and the material but it's quite fitted at the waist which I'm not sue a about. What do you think?

I like it.
I need new clothes, but don't have the inclination to shop :(
