    Just writing a blog post. I'm wearing a bargainous white dress from h&m its a plain cotton thing cost £4.99 with a lace jacket I thought I looked okay until my dad made a comment about the 80's!!

    It sounds really nice - Dads don't understand fashion!

    Thank you alex, they are rather cute, although silly for the weather today

    Am I the only person on the planet who doesn't like lush? I think it's too over powering, I love Bodyshop stuff though :D

    Meh, you can't always dress for the weather. Sometimes shoes just have to be worn :)

    I don't like Lush either..too strong I think, I reckon the smell past the store has put me off...

    And yes, sometimes I decide on shoes / certain outfit regardless of the weather, or before I even know what it's doing lol
  • I did have a totally different outfit planned for this morning but changed my mind when I got out of the shower.

    I was going to wear my pink floral H&M skirt but I always struggle to figure out what to wear on my top half when I wear a skirt, I was going to wear a black shirt and grey cardi (the skirt has hints of grey in it), black tights and my black faith shoes with a flower thing on the front, but it all looked wrong up top :S

    Maybe a plain T-shirt would have worked better?

    Haa so true
    I love the perplexed look on my dad's face when he sees some of my outfits :rotfl:
  • thanks Char, I did have a quick look online myself but couldn't see it. I have no idea where my nearest tesco is with a clothing department, it is really beautiful. Very 50's :)

    They had the cardi in the same print in store yesterday but I didn't spot the dress anywhere.

    Apparently there's a 50% off sale on Friday on Tesco clothing if anyone's interested....

    Queenie - just replying now :)

    My Dad is generally quite good, especially about telling me I look thinner :D

    There's one just at the far end of Allerton Road, beyond all the charity shops - think it's classed as Mossley Hill. The clothing department isn't the best, but they do have one!
