    Try on as many different styles as possible choccy. I've worked out I don't suit the elasticated/ruched waist type ones or jersey fabric (too clingy!) but there are so many different styles of straps and waistlines and fabric in the maxis around at the moment that I'm sure you'll find something :)

    Oh, outfit! I am probably the most smartly dressed I have ever been for work as we have a big assessment day/interview running:

    Black fitted jacket - DP sale
    Floral vest - Primark
    Black fitted linen skirt - £2 in Tesco last night, what a bargain!
    Black tights - M&S
    Floral wedge espadrilles - Office sale
    Cream flower ring - New Look
    Pearl studs - Accessorize
    Telephone necklace - Accessorize
    Big green watch - shop in Barcelona
    Flower (in hair) - DP

    How do you get on with these Alex? I have the nautical version and I love them but they make my feet bleed :o and I'm just wondering whether they'll get better after wearing in :(

    It was the first time I've worn them and they're not that comfy :( The front of them is very stiff and would have rubbed had I not had tights on as well. I might bash them in a bit before I wear them again.

    Well, errands run now, just made myself a big jug of pink grapefruit squash and am settling down to sit in the garden for a few hours, then off to a friend's for tea later :)

    Enjoy the garden,
    I'm just back from grandparents, drained and emotional once again...argh, I'm such rubbish company for them but they claim they don't care.
    Once Dad's finished cutting the grass I think I shall sit outside, maybe a nap in the meantime.

    I just posted a poll here actually there's a new site an old client of mine likes as a template for a few ideas she has so I thought I'd reach out to the community for ideas how it could be bettered - forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2485411&highlight=fashion
