Chocolate brown ballet wrap jumper
Hi all,
Very specific query - Im looking for a fairly plain, chocolate brown, ballet wrap style jumper (one that ties at the side not the front). High level of wool/cashmere.
Only one I have seen is at MS, does anyone else have any ideas of where I can get one?
Thanks in advance
Loo
Answer:
I saw a gorgeous one in Whistles last weekend - really simple but beautifully made. It is chocolate coloured, ties at side, gorgous little buttons on the sleeves but apart from that v plain. Can't remember what it was made of but felt cosy and looked great on. It was €100 so probably £70 ish.
Answer:
Lily,
Sounds fab - will get over there at lunch time!

Warehouse long shorts....

Warehouse long shorts....
....does anyone know when Warehouse update their online stocks?
I've been craving these long shorts for a few weeks now. I tried them on instore before the Glamour discount week and decided to wait for the 20% off but they haven't had them instore or online since! Grrrrrrr :rolleyes:
Answer:
Oooooh that's the ones I've got! :D Sorry, probably no help whatsoever but they have got them in store in some places. I went to Bath and they didn't have them but then went to Cribbs (Bristol) and they did, but only two pairs.
They're a nice fit. I tried them on with knee high boots last night and whilst I felt a bit "Heidi" I think it worked. Might post a pic if I get a chance :)
ETA: just thought, I had to go a size up as they were quite small cut although I do like my shorts a bit more slouchy - might be worth considering if you order online.
Answer:
They are a fab fit aren't they Toosh!
Wasn't really buying into the shorts thing until I tried these, now I'm obessed with getting my hands on a pair! They would fit quite nicely into my A/W wardrobe and I was thinking about whether they would look ok with my knee highs as well as flat pumps and my new round-toe wedges - I'm sure they look great!!
Answer:
Yeah they are really nice - I'm pleased with them. I tried on a couple of other pairs of tweedy shorts but they were so itchy and I'm not really down with wearing tights underneath unless I absolutely have to. They're a good length and just the right width. Hope you find a pair floozy! :)
Answer:
I'm religiously checking the website several times every day :o .......although I might go into the store later and ask if they can order a pair for me ;)

Your New Look skinny jeans, how long are they? I know you're a tall gal like me and I always thought their jeans stopped at 32"?
Ta! :)

Answer:
I think they are only 32inch but i've come to the conclusion i have short legs for a tall person :D
This is how long they are, prob could do with being a bit longer really.
Answer:
They look good on you!
I usually buy tall jeans at 36" but can get away with 34"...I do wish NL would do longer jeans cuz they look quite nice in there!!
If I'm wearing them tucked into boots anyway I might try some on...you never know, could get away with them! (If I never remove the boots :D)

Answer:
I bought my originally for tucking on boots as i thought i was to 'chicken drummer' to wear them with shoes :D
Seeing how popular they are maybe they might do them in longer lengths - could be worth asking in store :)
Answer:
Chicken drummer my ars@! :eek:
Mind you, I think I drive other people mad saying similar things, and they just look at me like I'm loopy :D
Let's boycott NL with requests for 34" legs!! :D
:clap:

So I'd have to live on beans on toast until Christmas :lol: Seriously though has anyone seen anything similar in't shops? I'm thinking Karen Millen or Whistles might be a good bet - and a fifth of the price would be so much easier to stomach (and less windy :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: )
Answer:
Oh that's lovely Curls, I haven't seen anything like it yet but will keep my eyes open for you.
Answer:
That is such a nice dress CurlsAloud!
I don't think I have seen anything similar that I can think of but I will let you know if I do.
Answer:
Monsoon has something similar in shape and colour although doesn't have the same sort of embroidery on it. Actually, they have some really nice stuff at the moment generally !
Answer:
Whistles have some fabulous stuff at the moment. I have just recently had a splurge. Am very impressed with their stuff at the mo. They have a dress which although not the same print is of an identical style.
