    I've been Money Tipped!
    Ach away with yous Im not fishing for compliments (but thanks! :)) I know my limitations! lol

    Lost i think you could pull anything off hun as you always sound so glamorous- I have a mental image of you and that image suits a playsuit (that sounds really creepy its not meant to lol)
    I'm only a titch at 5'2" and Im 33, though I know I don't look it...I am strange in that if I try to wear something too trendy I end up looking completely wrong- like Im dressing up in someone else's clothes...though I would love to get one as they always look so nice (and comfy too) but Im not sure I would get away with something so short with bare legs....or that it would be fair to unleash that on the public lol

    I just reminded myself my checking your blog, you look perfectly proportioned to me! I love that I sound glamourous. I look more very well fed scarecrow TBH. Or sheep in fancy dress. ;)

    You are a whole two inches shorter than me. I'm five five (and a half) but feel giant sometimes. :( I now a lot of really short people I guess.

    I think you'd wear a short leg floral one really well in the summer :)

    thanks:o I know what you mean about them being sort of the same as dresses I think its a mental thing as its shorts...and short shorts!

    Wear them with tights underneath? Think I'll be doing this if I end up getting one as I don't want to unleash my inner thighs on the world :rotfl:
  • I had a jumpsuit in the 80s with tapered legs so there was no chance of peeing through the leg (not that I would dare try that anyway). It was a right pain going to public loos especially if I had a coat on as well. Getting half undressed and then holding the top half up off the floor in case it was wet.

    I wouldn't try either! No scarring required as an excuse.

    Anyway I just tried it on, and the trousers part actually fits, but the top bit doesn't come up as high as my boobs, I could possibly hang the straps off my nipples, but doubt its a good look. :rotfl:


    :eek: I dare you to try it.

    Vicki, just reading your blog (I forget who has one and so forget to check for the link) and your eyes are so pretty and that green eyeshadow looks great!

    There's a lot to read on here since yesterday!

    I just got back from shopping in manchester. Mostly cds & dvds but had a trip to primark too and got some black brogues for £8. I'd like some nicer ones at some point but they'll do for now :) The manchester primark is absolutely enormous, just the shoe bit is about 1/3 the size of the entire sheffield/birmingham shop. Hopefully will go back when it's not school holidays and less busy.

    Well the swimsuit shopping wasn't the greatest, tesco didn't have the striped one, they ha a green one in the sale, same style and one left a size too big, but I think that it could be ok. Matalan had nothing ;( but I'll try town tomorrow, and bought the £6 sale one in case..
    So sleepy..I own a couple of playsuits, and also dungarees lol but not sure I'll wear them anytime soon!

    I really want a playsuit.


    I have major anxiety kicking in for tomorrow now, not helped by knowing we have to leave at 8:15am! I might be up and awake early but I hate rushing to go anywhere.
