Very nice! I bought a similar pair from Clarks of all places a couple of months back, reduced from ÂĢ100 to ÂĢ30...half size as well...they'll last a couple of years, so a good buy!
I wore a skirt to work the other night (the barmaid job) My boss came over to me and said not to worry, she has huge fat legs too

She doesn't like me, can you tell?
I'm so not a preachy person and each to their own, but you have to wonder how much are the people making 87p t-shirts are getting paid. Bit sad really.

Devil, I have been waiting ages for these to be reduced... seems like every other pair of boot has been!
They were nice and comfy when I tried them on though, sort of 'squashy' soles... and its so hard for me to find shoes that are comfy cos of my stoopid wide feet that I might have to just pay full price... then cry a bit quote:Originally posted by Hollygolightly:

probably about as much as a person making a t shirt that sells for ÂĢ20, the shop will just make less profit...

I stumbled across mine, if I had been looking for a pair I'd never have found them...I struggle to get comfy shoes etc for the same reason, if they are comfy buy them....they'll last a couple of years if they're sturdy enough!
this is the dress i got for the wedding saturday, i'll see if i can find the shoes

Why don't you look at her belly and ask her "How long until you're due?"

Saz it's summer you don't need boots that will be dated next winter *wags paw*
Ive not bought a new bag in years, always buy them from a vintage bag shop, or charity shops, picked up some really good quality ones to.

But they're just plain black leather boots... that never dates, right
I try to buy stuff that doesn't date, i.e. stuff thats not in for just one season, as I like to get a lot of wear out of things. I still have boots now that I got about 6 years ago, and people still say they are lovely

Some things never date, that's why I bought the ones I was on about! I also tend to go for stuff that will carry me through a year or 2, especially shoes (if they're expensive)....go for it if you really want them...and...they can be worn under or over jeans, and with skirts!

Not too well because the dress has a pattern everthing sticks out like a sore thumb so have dug my heels in and gone for matching accessories may have to resort to the pink knicker idea
What about necklace or bracelts? And if that belf comes off you could put a pink sash or belt on instead? or a bag? I dunno, I'm not a girly girl, you need Arwen

Thats what I thought
And I'd been looking for a pair of black leather knee high boots for aaaages... all the others seemed uncomfortable/too narrow/too high Though saying i dont buy seasonal things... I did remember that I bought a pair of those (fake) knitted Uggs
But they only cost ÂĢ15 and fitted me better than the real ones, so its not too bad
i rarely wear a dress so this has been really difficult, did try a lovely pink dress in monsoon but it was a bit cleavagy and after 3 kids that is not always a good look

What are the fellas supposed to do with this colour scheme? All come wearing pink shirts and ties? I'd love it if someone went all out and turned up in a pink suit
