Do you shop in vintage shops?

With your size and shape, go fitted and to create the appearance of curves, things like the jacket you have there ^^^ are perfect! Think 1940's. (Well, in my opinion)

I dont really have time to scout through vintage places tbh...in fact I rarely have time to even nip to the shops (except in my lunch hour sometimes)...I think this is part of the problem - I want normal shops to cater for my size (I am not THAT small!) but sadly they wont because there apparently arent enough people like me to make it worthwhile making enough clothes in my size *sigh*

I like clothes like pencil skirts and a shirt tucked in though - that definitely suits me , guess that is sort of 1940s...

That is a nice jacket!

I know but $175 plus shipping - although its made to order so I might order one next payday...

Wide leg trousers with high waists, tight tops etc

beck, how about Topshop? Everyone I know says they're too small, but that's cos they're used to the normal shops doing vanity sizing not proper sizes like TS does.

And I must be mental....can't bike so I'm doing insane amounts of aerobics as it's a day off.

I need Gokked too. I'm very good at casual (jeans and tshirt) but crap at going out stuff and utterly boring at work...:o

I do like topshop but its a bit 'young' for workwear and stuff - I did buy some undies in there at lunchietime - I like it cause its one of the few shops I'm a size 8 in

Well,phase 1 of the retail therapy was a flop-couldn't see anything I liked (got a few bits for kids though..)all I got for me was a fascinator to go with black ball dress reduced to a fiver.....phase 2 follows friday-look out Brighton !!! A whole day to do the Lanes on my own...bliss!!!Ooh,and maybe a quick nose in Bravissimo...

(And if I feel the need,phase 3 is Tunbridge Wells on monday....)
