I feel like my head is going to explode. Urgh.
Maybe another nap.

piratefairy

oh daisy, hope a nap helps

this is one of the ideas i was also going to steal from topshop lol
http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=true&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=67911&parent_category_rn=67910&productId=1685059&langId=-1

i'm fairly sure i have a heap of beads from a pearly necklace which snapped, and i was thinking, i have some scraps of floral print cotton from the last dress i made, which i was going to try and combine..

gona upload the pics of my recent purchases onto the blog now i think...

and then think about my "characters" tag from mariel

That's really pretty Char. Perhaps hack it down the middle and make it into a cardi? I can't think of a way to wear something that shape to make it look less cropped - layering it over something is only going to draw attention to the length of it.

(((Daisy))) Is it a pain headache or emotional muddlement?

daisybella

thanks girls,

Alex..tis both kind of lurking on here/pottering around the house atm

piratefairy

yeah, exactly..me either ;( and feel reluctant to pay TS prices and then hack it up......

hence why crop tops and i do not get on..

Ooh, I like that. I've been pondering getting this for a while now but I know I'd just get it caught on something and snap it. I don't have a good record with long necklaces

What do you all think of this - http://www.asos.com/Firetrap/Firetrap-Long-Line-Fine-Guage-Draped-Cardigan/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=639935&SearchQuery=grey%20cardigan&Rf-700=1000&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=3&clr=Grey - I really like the draped look of it but not sure how it would lie on someone considerably more, er, chesty than the model?

Pottering is good for the soul Try and have a little bit of tea or something and are you allowed Nurofen or suchlike?

piratefairy

alex - hmm, i had the black / lace version of that about a yr or so ago and managed to break it on the first shift i wore it to when i worked at the bar :S

piratefairy

redquirrel, i have to admit i don't like it - personally i think the sleeves make it look scruffy and unfinished..
sorry ;S
