    I love that top! I'd buy it if I could lol.

    Oh, guess what I decided to have for my birthday in the end...

    a suitcase.
    Haa.

    the brogues I wanted never came in to stock in my size so I'm mainly having money to get some pre-hospital pretty clothes.

    well i don't like the grey, which means the other one is only available in an 18 :S
    not sure if i just go for it and see how much too big it looks, if at all..
    i can take it back to the store if im not sure..
    lol
    i loved it too, i'm not really sure why i took it back, i htink because i wasnt' sure what to wear it with, and i was a little broke after the liverpool spree lol so was quite ruthless with my returning! for once.

    I'd feel far too much like a Dalmation in those spotty trousers!

    Didn't you say something on here about not liking cropped tops? The 18 will swim on you, surely?

    I have impulse shopping urges as well :( I don't get paid till Sunday, I must get a grip.

    yes, i don't really like them..but that was more aimed at the tops etc that skinny minnies seem to be able to get away with wearing over a pair of jeans, to show off their ridiculously skinny midriffs....lol
    but as a jumper, it can be worn over a dress..probably..we'll see..
    and i know it's big, but it's supposed to be oversized....i'll try it on and blog for your opinions alex :)

    no its ok hun, i do contradict myself. a lot.

    ETA- this is the kind of thing that i'm wishing they would just make a bit longer recently lol

    but topshop mainly, seems ot be full of cute tops, tshirts etc, which are cropped, so i'm not sure what the best way to wear them would be..
    does that make more sense?? lol
