Well done Daisybella, that'll be great experience for you!

Piratefairy, I'm with Goanmad on that one, it's making me feel so oooold! :rotfl:I think I've still got a few late 80s/early 90s ones hanging around (including a lovely dusty green one) so they're going on ebay if they're still in decent nick.

I've got a gorgeous long black velvet opera-style coat my husband bought for me last year, I absolutely love it.

Had a few meetings today, so thought I better make a bit of an effort!

black heavy jersey dress (Wall, sale, about £20 I think)
plum wool drapy cardigan (TKMaxx £25)
black wool tights
distressed black Frye buckled boots (Fenwicks sale)
blacket velvet coat - not the one above (Boden, had it for years now)

Have a great weekend everyone!

judgejaq - glad it's not just me having nightmares.

Any of you younger fashionistas should be very, very wary of the dreaded body after a few drinks - I remember one of my friends wearing a body, visiting the loo and forgetting to fasten it and a guy kindly came over to later to point out that the flap was hanging out of the back of her jeans...:o

i once saw a young lady at blackbush market with a short dress that had got hitched up at the back on her shoulder bag. She really shouldnt have gone commando but she had quite a :rotfl:following

I wear mine UNDER tights for these reason! (though I never go bare legged, ever, and I dread to think what I'd be like with a body in that case!)

Oh dear, I have just won myself a velvet dress on ebay

Hi - well it's incredibly late and I'm now in my pyjamas but today I wore:

Black pencil skirt with tiny white dots (£15 East)
Black vest (£1 Primark)
See through black blouse with !!!!!cat bow and flower pattern (£8 Primark)
Black cardigan (£6 Primark)
Black pointy t-bar shoes (£25 Clarks sale)

Tomorrow though, I am going to make my most expensive purchase ever - I'm off to order my wedding dress all £1350 of it - eek! The most I've ever spent on a dress before is £66 so it's a bit of a leap!

Well hello there all. It's SO windy up North today - I've just had a haircut and all that styling was undone as soon as I stepped into the gale force weather! Never mind.

Here's mine for today:

Rose print tea dress (£22, ASOS... probably not the best idea to wear a dress in this wind!)
Purple cardigan
Grey wool tights
Black leather pumps with bows (£50, Aldo... I never wear these, not sure why)
Black skinny waist belt
Gold nameplate necklace

Happy Saturday!

Afternoon all!

Wind and rain here for me - sooo not going out today! Besides, I have job stuff to do (again, I know...), so for me today's outfit is:

- White T shirt with a picture of a piece of cheese and the words 'Cheesus Loves Me!' on it (Topshop)
- Long sleeved white top (Dorothy Perkins) under T shirt
- Blue/black jeans (Gap)
- Pink socks with teacups on (Topshop)

I think most of today will be spent doing job applications and having a good chill before Strictly tonight.

Have a good Saturday everyone!

Horrible weather here too, hate the winds, it makes the rain even worse!

Worked this morning, so it was usual polyester dream attire for that.

Now wearing:
Tartan dress: £3 New Look sale
Black thermal tights: part of £3.50 multi pack Tesco
Black cardigan: Wallis (from Mum)
Another cardigan: £15 New Look

**Juice**

Totally agree with the windy up North stuff! I live in a 4th floor flat so it sounds like we're about to be blown away!

I'm going to meet my friends in a bit and I'll be wearing:

Primark blazer - £12.78
Breton stripe tshirt from ASOS - £20 (I've got so much wear out of it it's unreal!)
Tights - £2 for a 5 pack from Primark
Denim shorts (cutoff from a pair of mens vintage Levis I bought) - £14
Ballet pumps - £6 Primark
Black quilted bag with gold chain by Marc B - £31.50 (student discount!) (another thing I've got masses of wear out of)

And possibly my H&M gold scarf that was about £6, depending on how cold it is, another wardrobe favourite of mine!
