Online shopping d00m

[lnr]

So you'd think being down to a sensible size would make online shopping easier really, but it appears that I can't find anything that I want at a sensible price at the moment. And buying things which are expensive is right out, if they're not likely to fit for more than a couple of months. I'm right out of trousers which actually fit me any more (I've a couple of pairs I can still wear but they're beginning to look ludicrous) but everything in the shops seems to be cropped or ruffled to dirty-look or glitter or pink or all of the above. ick ick ick.

I wonder which one you mean :-) There are a couple of things I'm really sad to be too small for now, but not too many. I shall have to try find good homes for them.

Monsoon is always lovely, but *far* beyond my means at the moment even if they have a sale, which is a shame. Perhaps I shall treat myself to something from there when I reach the size I want to stop at. It's that or a corset. This one in particular from fairygothmother has been calling to me for some time. Their stuff takes forever to arrive though, 3-8 weeks I think they said for a skirt I've had on order for about 6 weeks now.

I just want a nice pair of plain black combats or something, a pair of fairly snug fitting jeans with straight legs and plain black denim that I can actually sit down in. I've managed to find a few skirts and so on I can get on with but trousers seem to be impossible at the moment. I shall keep my eye on Sayles though, thankyou.

Ooh, I'm not very good with the names of colours, but purple was wrong. It was kind of lilacy/fuschia, I thinkm round-necked top and a long plain cut. Quite simple looking.

I've only ever window-shopped, so I've never paid much attention to the prices! The fairygodmother corset is certainly cool. It might be worth trying out Cathouse if you're in Liversedge (I can't look up the details at work), they do corsets, I'm sure, though I doubt they're as exciting as the fairy-godmother ones.

No, no, that's not right, either.

I give up. About this colour.

Ohh, I know the one you mean.... Hang on, I'll get Richard to take a picture:

I can't say I really fancy corset shopping while I'm at my parents' :-) But I've found their webpage and I've defnitely added it to me drool list :-)

Wow!

You look fantastic in that dress! It really suits you (both the colour and the style). Your hair looks nice in that picture, too. Nice one! :-)

Re: Wow!

Goodness, and I'd thought the hair had gone rather disastrous!

Unfortunately the dress is just beginning to be too big, like much of the rest of my wardrobe, but never mind it's worth it :-)
