Puffb... no, bubble? I concur with your assessment. I do have one tho
from a Chinese shop in Covent Garden (must get in there next w/end). They're awkward tho. 0 -

I've been searching for that thread that someone started a while ago for the purpose of the "What will I wear with this?" questions but couldn't find it...
Don't want to start a new thread but would anyone have any idea what to wear with this?
I'm a bit sick of wearing plain black vest-like tops with this sort of skirt, so if anyone had any ideas...:)0 -

I would team the boots with a classic dress (Knee length if possible)Kintarō Hattori wrote: »So may I ask all your advice here? Now that these are on the way, what could they be teamed up with? I kinda like what this lady has done. I was thinking a skirt with a slit and perhaps a woolen blazer? Maybe some sort of past the knee dress with a slit?
She already has skinny jeans so I'd like to get her something a little more upmarket to wear with the boots. Something stylish and sophisticated a little.
Zara is great at the moment

If you are going out to dinner a nice blazer always looks classic

I really like the way this girl on chictopia teamed them with a simple white summer dress for a day look!

Can I ask why you're planning your girlfriends outfits, can't you just ask her what she'd like to wear them with?

Perhaps it's because occasionally women like advice and suggestions as to what looks good on them. I think the evidence of that lies in the strength of this forum where advice and suggestions is it's raison d'être.Can I ask why you're planning your girlfriends outfits, can't you just ask her what she'd like to wear them with?I'm older than Minecraft goats.

She buys plenty of her own clothes so don't worry. I don't see the harm in surprising her now and again. If she wears something great, if she doesn't it's no big loss. Also I would have no problem in buying her something she would consider expensive and therefore perhaps never buy in the first place.
She's a beautiful elegant woman but tends to be a little on the conservative/practical side sometimes. The 'right' clothes make her look even more amazing than normal but often they aren't the things she would consider normally. Quite often the things I've bought she agrees look great on her and she'll happily wear them on a night out.0 -

I love this dress. I think I need it:

Curse you bad weather. :mad: I never get to wear half the lovely dresses I have in my wardrobe because it's too damn cold.0 -

These arrived from MINA, the dress white blouse and stripe skirt. Do you think they would appropriate for the office? I was thinking of teaming them with a low heel and tights. I'm a student on an internship and have been there a few months, Most of the other staff would be smart office casual while others wear suits. I'm someone who really hates wearing suits so I'm trying to inject more style into my work wardrobe.

I think the blouse and dress would definitely work for the office. As for the skirt though...its just way too nice to waste on work! :P I'd see it as more of a casual but stylish day outfit
The dress is gorgeous btw. Is the belt part of it?0 -
Thank you so much Queen of leon, I will take your advice and wear them to work this weekQueenOfLeon wrote: »I think the blouse and dress would definitely work for the office. As for the skirt though...its just way too nice to waste on work! :P I'd see it as more of a casual but stylish day outfit

Also, Sibylla, that skirt is lovely!
Thank you
I wore the skirt and blouse to work today and got loads of compliments. I was worried about the office dress code to be honest. Most of the other staff would be much older than myself and stick to darker colours so it's great to incorporate some summer colours!0 -
Ugh, ordered a pair of Fatface jeans there a few days ago, they arrived today. I was sure I'm a size ten in their jeans, but these ones won't even stay up on me. They are more like a 14 Again with the vanity sizing! And I can't send them back for free because they are a sale item Might just give them to my Mother...but they'll probably be too big for her too! 0

This is why I am so wary about buying jeans/trousers and shoes online 0
