    I really want some grey trousers - I always wear black and they have some lovely ones in Dotty P's but I just can't justify £30 for trousers whilst I still have debt. But that would mean I couldn't buy anything until I am 50 :eek:

    There was a time when I wouldn't have stopped to think about it, but that is why I am debt I suppose!

    Very pretty Spud - if you wear a lot of black, then patterned black is a good start. I wear a lot of black, but it's usually black and 'something' now, whereas when I felt less confident than I do now (which is barely possible...:o), I JUST wore black.

    Jacs (((hugs))) stick with us chick, we will get you through it.

    BB - well, I'm a little scared of what your drawer might contain but......what the hell, YES!! :D

    I do tend to not mind paying out for the odd nice pair of well fitted trousers and justify it to myself by buying cheapo tops/jackets etc.
    a couple of pairs of trouser to makeyou feel better can't do much harm can it, as long as they are budgeted for.

    good god don't ever take me shopping i am fab at helping people spend their money just a tight arris myself x
