    Do you have to be really slim to wear those harem pants?
    I live in jeans (and I'm stuck to 2/3 pairs!) or dresses and tights.
    What else can I wear?
    Skirts don't suit me
    I don't like things much above the knee. Any suggestions?

    Def not purplecow im a 14 and they look really nice.I thought they wouldnt be nice but i was really surprised and im honestly sick of wearing the same things all the time so these are great. I love all the skirts and dresses out atm but cant wear them unless I can wear black tights with them.

    this thread has def encouraged me to try different things and get out of the stripy top and jeans rut im in. :)

    viv, you might inspire me also!
    Doesn't help that I thought last June that THIS June would be oh-so-different but alas, here I am again, still the same overweight self! Love looking at all of these purchases though and regularly keep tabs :-) Might try a pair of those on, and see how it goes. I need things that block out my middle!

    Viv go you know if they're in store or would you have to order from catalogue. I'd need to try on first I think

    I got them instore as I find the sizes in next inconsistent. I have a pair of trs in a 14 that need a belt to stay up and a pair of jeans in a 12 that I cant get into anymore so have to try everything on. They have the 15 off 30 promo on again so you could try on in the shop and order at home. Ask at the tills for the codes ;)

    Thanks! Re the promo codes, do you need a new email address each time?

    Took a chance on these because they were a fraction of original price. Will return if they're not suitable :P

    Spent the last of a Christmas voucher in Dundrum this weekend: Breton tops €12.95 and skinny jeans €29.95, both from Zara. Plain black blazer in H&M that I can't find a link for. And a new bikini from Dunnes, 20% off online so only €12.

    Mine also arrived. I love the colours but not sure if I like the fit on me! :/ Will decide tomorrow when I've had a proper look.

    Had also ordered 4 'sun/summer' dresses from Dorothy Perkins and there's none I'm mad about. The one I thought would suit my figure looks awful! Again, will decide tomorrow with the other 3.

    Sigh!

    I tried that blazer on a couple of months ago and fell in love with the colour. I would have bought it but I didn't like the shoulders. I've been searching for one without the shoulder padding in it since then but have had no luck.

    Such a gorgeous colour for summer.

    I wanted a pair of white jeans, but any I find are usually see through, so I found these and they are perfect, and not see through :)

    Most of my purchases have been from ebay lately so not going to put them all up but I did get a coat I had wanted for ages so I'm delighted with that even though I won't get to wear it for a while.

    It was this Lana Del Rey coat for H&M

    From Amazon I bought

    This tshirt from esprit

    and these 'treggings' also from esprit

    This Calvin Klein top from the German Amazon which was reduced to €25 in my size.

    How did you manage to pay in sterling? It always just automatically charges me in euro

    It comes up in euro for me also, but I change to pound sterling (there's a tab to do so in the right hand corner of the screen) while looking at the product..... and then just pay with my credit card. Saves a few euro :)

    I got this jumper in Dorothy Perkins today, reduced to €9 :) At least it will do me for next autumn/winter, although it was a bit like winter again this eve! I might just get a wear or two out of it yet!

    I had a small TK Maxx raid last weekend.

    Found these amazing Ravel shoes for €35.

    This Max C dress for €23 (though the picture doesn't do it justice at all. It's a lot more colourful irl)
    15024032_large.jpg

    And also a lovely red Mela Loves London dress in a 20s kind of style with a crochet overlay over the top half for €20. Can't find a picture anywhere unfortunately though.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,439 Mod ✭✭✭✭XxMCRxBabyxX


    Excuse the sizes of the pictures. Is there any way of resizing them?
