Ice - if you love your coat so much it may be worth taking it to a tailor and seeing if they can alter it for you.

Now there's a possibility I hadn't thought of

Ooh that's nice Caroline. I love cord stuff.

Ice, I'm tempted to do the same with my winter coat from last year but I estimate it has about 60% more fabric in it than I actually need now, so I'm not sure how much a tailor could do with it.

Yeah I was just thinking the same. I might just take it along to one and ask what they can do. Mine does up off centre as opposed to up the middle too which wont help!

Thanks so much for the responses ladies, I think I'll go for it!

Caroline, i love cord too, think it's great for autum/winter. I really like the skirt.

Alex, i wear maxi skirts so i don't see why you cant? You just have to be careful that they are not swirling on the floor, they can cause accidents:o btw, if you pm me your address i have some boots vouchers for you? if you still want them!

Well the sun is shining, and so is my house:) spent ALL day yesterday cleaning and de-cluttering, 4 bin bags went to the charity shop, i have one bag for the school, 1 full binbag of broken carp from the kids rooms in the bin and a bag of books ready to go:T

Wearing Jeggings, flowery tunic and tassell sandels, off to walk the dogs!!

Am I being unreasonable in thinking that £10 combined p+P for 4 items of clothing is a lot?!

Alexnikov

Wow, Sharron, you were busy yesterday!

I weighed in this morning and have now officially lost 7 stones :j

Outfit is:

Black linen pencil skirt - Tesco sale
White tshirt with black and grey dot print origami birds (tucked in)- Gap sale
Black and white polka dot heels - IC via ebay
Pearl and beaded bracelet - Primark
Quartz cocktail ring - craft fair
Black headband with diamond shaped beaded detail - Topshop sale

Alexnikov

Oh Char, that dress is stunning!

About the p&p thing, it seems like a bit much. Although I ended up totally underpricing how much p&p actually cost when I sold all that ebay stuff recently so who knows! Is it heavy stuff?

Alexnikov

I want this quite a lot.
