Love it! I fancy this one for me.

I just dropped Sam at nursery and one of the teachers commented on my top, then drew another teacher into the conversation who said 'you've always looked nice but have you had a make over because you look amazing lately!' Yay!

Magpye - That is gorgeous!

Well, back from a fruitless shopping mission for my MSE pals - no tights in Dottie P's except full price ones and the only only opaques on the market were boring black or florescent pink (£1 a pair if anyone fancies neon legs).

Topshop didn't fare much better no duckling necklaces or galleon necklaces but our local branch does swap stock with Brum every few weeks so the manager promised to reserve a necklace if they do get any.

Heightwise I'm a feeble 5' 5" - I'd love to be as tall as you, Daisy.

Today's outfit:
Vintage pink and orange Dollyrockers maxi dress(eBay)
1930's fur cape (Car boot)
Purple platform boots (Chazza shop)
Fendi bag (Chazza shop)
Silver hoop earrings, bangles and rings (India)
Fuschia pink leather gloves (Car boot)

Bargains off the market today, there's a guy who occasionally sells samples and vintage bits he buys as job lots in auctions. He let me have 2 tailored jackets, a vintage Chanel-style cardi, 1970's maxi skirt, laser cut leggings, a customised denim jacket and a tweed shoulder cape for £10 :j.

Off to wrap parcels for eBay. Catch you all shortly.

EEEEEEE! I'm so excited girlies, I just took delivery of this dress:

EDIT: Linked as the pic is huge!

from the lovely Boonma of iamroses. Delivery from Thailand was so quick and she even put a pair of earrings into the package. Divine! She has some gorgeous hippy-ish maxi dresses for sale, do check them out. I love her clothes. Definitely will buy again, the dress is much thicker cotton than I thought and has a lovely silk finish, almost a sateen. OMG I sound like an advert! I am not affiliated, I swear.

Can't wait to wear this! ROLL ON SUMMER! :T:T

Ohhhh that's pretty!

I really want a maxi dress now

What a lovely thing to say!

Thanks for trying Goan I may have to resort to popping to the big Dotty P when I'm in town on Sunday and paying full price for them. I'd rather not have to but the pale blue ones are such nice quality that I suppose I don't mind too much. The difficulty in finding navy tights anywhere though!

Alex, what is it your after? I can have a look tomorrow...

I don't dare go on ebay at the moment. I have zilch appetite for getting any work done today and I know I'd just spend all afternoon on there

ETA - ooh cheers hun. It's just navy or mid/dark blue tights in large. They only had them in small and medium in the little store in the retail park by work and I really need them in large. I love the feel of the other ones I bought from Dotty P on Monday so am hoping to get another pair from that range.
