    OK, I went to a tesco today but they didn't have the maxi dress I was wanting to look at

    http://www.clothingattesco.com/New-In-Womens/F+F-Jersey-maxi-dress/invt/bd013417

    Now, I know its nothing special, or flatering but I'm looking for something quick to pull on to be decent when I'm about the house with little on....

    (I love the £100 acid rint dress near the top, but not the price tg for ''Tesco couture''...)

    Oh I totally forgot to say that they didn't have them in the rubbish Tesco near me :( Looks nice though, and Tesco tends to use decent fabric so hopefully it won't look cheap and tatty.

    Morning. Nearly done packing for glasto. My rucksack is ridiculously heavy but i dunno if i can get away with taking anything out. Partly because i've got the majority of the food & toiletries because OH ran out of room after insisting on only carrying the one rucksack and putting wellies inside it. I weighed it on wii fit and it's over 2.5 stone :(

    In good news.... joe browns have a good sale on most things at the moment. I wanted the white dress of the season but it's oos in my size. Still more stuff i want though.

    Lost, there's something similar (and cheaper) in New Look:
    http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/dresses/vest-jersey-maxi-dress_192720001

    Comes in lots of different colours as well. I've got a jersey maxi from New Look (sliggtly diferent style) and the material is pretty decent. It was about £5 more than this one, so I can't imagine there'd be much difference, if any, in the fabric.

    Morning ladies, everyone enjoying the sunshine today? Marzipan and Goan, have a fab time at Glastonbury. Goan, hope your dad's on the mend.

    Lazy outfit today:
    Spotty shift dress & flip flops.
    Too tired to make a huge effort at 5.30am!

    I like that jersey maxi dress from New look, JJ..

    Still really disappointed my local primark didnt' have the lace dress i saw in chester a few weeks back :S but will hopefully go somewhere further afield soon to have a look..

    didn't win my shoes last night, but i did win a rather lovely laura ashley sundress for a lot less than i had anticipated..missed out on the vintage bag i was after by £1 though which is a little frustrating..ho hum!

    outfit today:

    black dress with yellow rose print, primark (same as alex has :S )
    yellow s/s cardi, george..
    gold skinny metal belt around both, with an elephant clasp, asos..
    yellow gingham heels, with bananas on, irregular choice (prsesnt from sis)..

    Yes!! :D He used to grow magic plants from magic seeds. Oh it was fab.

    He can strap the wellies outside his rucksack surely? Doesn't seem fair that you're carrying all the weight!

    I was going to wear that today. Good job I didn't as I would have accessorised it nowhere near as well as you.

    I went for:

    Blue tunic dress - DP
    Blue floral pumps with bow & cameo decoration - Schuh
    Blue dangly earrings - ancient
    Blue sequinned headband - Primark

    Feel a tad underdressed as I don't think I've ever worn this dress without jeans, tights or leggings underneath it. Hope it's not too skimpy.
