Holiday Shopping ..

[mandymouse]

I wasn't planning on any shopping today, but we popped to BHS for breakfast and called in Next while we passed (which was empty considering there was a 2 day sale on) and my lovely hubby bought me a tankini set (not in the sale)

I'm really in the mood for some packing now, but it's months till we go

Oh I love that Mandy. I usually wear a swimsuit with swimshorts but I really fancy trying these tankini's.

Thanks Bev. There were matching 'pants' to the top, but I prefer the plain shorts, as they make me feel a bit more covered up

I know what you mean. I am going to have a look for some when I am in town next.

I really need to do some holiday shopping but just want to loose a few more pounds before I go. Must work harder on my cross trainer

Love that tankini Mandy - they never had anything like that in Next when I was there today

I have bought a lovely dress from Monsoon today - and the best thing about it is that it's a size 14 :banana

Yes, she finally decided today. It's going to be the Debenhams one with the red and black flowers.

They only had it in a 12 today so my Dad is going to order it for her

I would just like to add that I tried the black one-shoulder dress on, in a 14 but unfortunately IT WAS TOO BIG!!!!

I love Sian's dress too, she'll look gorgeous for her Prom

I've just got back from a quick trip into Coventry, and I got this top from Miss Selfrige (though it says it's a dress on their webiste )

I still just need a Summer dress and sunglasses and then I'll be ready

**Note to self - NO MORE TOPS**

Lovely dress/top Mandy. I'm the same - just been going through allo my holiday clothes and, whilst I've got LOADS of tops, I am seriously lacking in 3/4 length trousers (aside from the several hundred pairs of black ones ). I really need some nice beige/brown/khaki 3/4 lengths in combat-type style, if anyone has any recommendations

 

[Gaynor]

Lovely Tankini and top/dress Mandy

Joh your Monsoon dresses are gorgeous
Next have some combat style trousers that you can roll-up to make them 3/4 style they look nice. They have also got some combat shorts in lovely colours turquoise, green, pink if you like bright colours they are the shorts that fit just on the knee.


I've just got back from the Trafford Centre again the dress I bought Friday was too small it's from H&M I think their sizes are odd.

This is it,a casual day sort of dress, it looks nicer on than it does on the hanger.

I also nipped into Next and bought two more tops

Like Mandy I don't really need any more tops, but like you Joh I need some cropped trousers and some shorts

No, I double checked it, and it is a top Nat. I couldn't be responsible for all those fellow Cruisers abandoning ship if they saw me in it with leggings
