Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

Those shoes are nice enough, but definitely not worth three million dollars! Okay, with diamonds they might actually be worth quite a lot, but why on earth should one put real diamonds on a pair of shoes? Surely some cheaper or even fake gem would have worked the same... No one's going to take a closer look at them anyway.

What about dresses? Now the winter is over and it's getting warm again, so one can actually go out in a dress without freezing to death.

I bought a lovely new casual dress last week - as anyone who has looked at my profile page could guess, it's in my favourite colour, blue with some white in it. I couldn't find a photo of the dress on H&M's website, so I took a photo of my own. Sorry about the bad quality, I only have a webcam...



What do you think? Have you bought any nice spring clothing lately?

I am always dropping toilet paper rolls into the toilet. I swing around and catch hold of them on the holder. What a mess it is to fish those out - they definitely won't go down with a flush. Toilet paper here is not cheap either.

I recently dropped a watch in some dirt and decided to rinse it off. It was just a fashion watch with a white band. Still I liked it and kept it by my bedside; used it as a clock. I woke up and it was probably 4, but my watch said 2. I went to bed after 2 - what the heck? I then noticed all the little numbers must have been glued on and they all fell off inside the watch. I had to laugh. I have washed off my Timex watches many times and they survived, even if they got a mist or moisture in them. I think a few even went through the washer and dryer....the watch that keeps on ticking....

Hope your pretty watch is ok, Niamh. I really love that design. No way, *C*C would I fish anything out of a porta potty - yuk!

Annamirah, that dress is so cute...you look great in it. I love dresses myself. I can't wait to wear my sundresses again - so comfortable in the summer.

The price of those shoes is ridiculous. Think of all the starving children that would feed.

Haha They say you can't get anything good if you buy it cheap... Whereas good quality products survive pretty much anything as you've just proved

Cute Dress!

I bought a cute summery top and wore it to work last week. They said I looked like an easter basket.

Cool You must post a picture of that!

I am a huge fan of the peasant skirt:



I own three of them; one red, one green, one pink and white.

Pretty dress, annamariah - you look good in it.

Love those gypsy skirts, JW, especially that wine colour.

I am trying not to buy any summer clothes - I keep a 'travel wardrobe' for trips to warmer climes, everything in shades of blue so it all matches and cuts down on the packing. I've had my 'summer' holiday for this year (Egypt in February) so I really do not need anything this year and 'summer' is a relative term in wet Wales - but my favourite catalogue people have a new panel dress (very flattering on us Junoesque ladies) and I do like it so much......

[Niamh]

I like that dress Anna! H&M you said? Might need to pop in to have a look!
I recently got myself a nice blue paisley maxi dress. wore it last sat for my dads birthday. so somfortable. Its so nice to be able to wear a dress like that casually.

[Annamariah]

Niamh: Yup, H&M, and only 15 euros

JuniperWoolf: That's a nice skirt! I might like one myself. The only trouble with full-lenght dresses is that I'm rather short, so it's hard to find one that is full-lenght without being so long it makes me trip over the hem

I like that peasant skirt but I've seen some peasant skirts that are just downright dowdy so you have to be careful. The one in the picture is cool. i don't own a peasant skirt myself because I haven't seen any around here that are cool when I'm in the market for a skirt like that. It seems like everytime I go out with the intention of buying a peasant skirt, they all look more hillbillly than gypsy peasant so I don't buy them. Maybe it's just because the stores here suck.

Oh, and I bought another Maxi dress this week - I LOVE it. But since I am real short I had to get it out of the petite section and they only had a few patterns and I managed to get the last one in my size that I could actually wear. They had about 5 different patterns/prints of Maxi dresses in the petite section at this store but 3 of them had these padded boob tops that do not work out with my frame. And then the other print looked like something Ms. Roper would have worn. It was a hideous hot pink, black, orange and white flowery ugly fugly thing with a big flowery gemstone on the top It's probably better that they didn't have more patterns because I would have ended up with five maxi dresses instead of 1. It's no fair though - in the section of the store for "normal" sized people, they always have more to choose from. It's no fair. It's discrimination against the short.

But the one I got is some green and black trippy pattern that you could get lost in. I wore it to work and had to wear a sweater shrug thing over it because of the boob factor and with the sweater it made me look like i had a big butt though the way the lines went. Man I am rambling rambling and nobody cares.

I guess the point of all this is that it's really hard to find decent clothes. You get something and it should work, but if it's cut wrong or something it just doesn't wear right.

[Annamariah]

Shalot - I can sympathetize, it IS hard to find decent clothes if you are shorter than average, have bigger boobs than average, have shorter midriff than average and so on. (By the way, who ARE the average? I find many clothes are designed for a really weird-shaped body...) And I love your choice of smiley after the description of that print

[janesmith]

I bought that same dress from H & M the other day but in denim. We've obviously got good taste Annamariah.

[Annamariah]

We sure do

[Niamh]

my H&M sucks! Went in to see if i could find that dress but nope! Not there! No surprise seeing as H&M over here sucks for some reason.

[BienvenuJDC]

Just to add a guy's POV, I think that the peasant skirt is very attractive.
