Happy New Clothes

Thanks Lula, I am actually quite impressed I got this far and I am going to enjoy having new clothes all the more for having been deprived of them for 8 months:D

As to pure wool hmmmm :think: I usually start by handwashing in very soft detergent but after I've done that 3 or 4 times I bung them in the washing machine on the cool/delicates/wool wash. I actually put 100% cashmere stuff in the machine after a few handwashes too & it hasnt shrunk yet.

Thanks Lula,:A I am not one for messing about doing different washes, I stick to darks/whites/bedding and everything has to fit into one of those, however I will try the handwash for the first few times and see what happens.

Well I had a look at Duo and even measured my calves - seem to be right in the middle! still haven't seen the perfect ones though... think I've set my heart on something I can't have - it's George Clooney all over again...

Hello The Moo

Welcome & thanks for that, I've been trying to remember that name ( Duo) since the conversation started :rolleyes:. We've had that tip before - I remember falling deeply in love with a pair of purple suede boots on the website ...

I need a pair of black boots & a matching bag. Yes, this is a necessity for me

all I have to say to you is " Duo boots - Genova in red & purple suede :heartpuls"

But I'd rather have Johnny than George ...

I shall settle in and get comfortable :-)

Yes, the Duo boots are a bit expensive...I also just looked at the site and saw a customer comment about how well they fitted her "thin calves" Oh dear!

I've been enjoying reading about the clothes challenge. Shoes are my downfall, have been on a shoe diet all year, the only shoes bought have been trainers (running-type not fashion-type). Hmm until yesterday when I cracked and bought a pair of sparkly bronze fitflops :-) They were an essential purchase so I can tone up my legs to fit in my boots for winter.

Off to do a bit of tidying up, will pop back in soon for more. Thanks for your nice welcome
