Did a bit of retail therapy yesterday and thought I'd purchase a new coat. I'm looking for something summery and bright coloured but everywhere I looked were black, brown and khaki adornments. Any suggestions anyone? Nothing too pricey mind, but something stylish, quite smart and preferably pink or aqua...I ended up doing my usual when I am clothes shopping and purchased a stripey item- a black and white top for work and play. I ALWAYS go for stripes or spots. EVERY time. Last time I did a spot of consumer comforting I got myself two pairs of spotty knickers from M&S. They are very cute but it will probably be a long while before anyone, other than me, and Sadie (as she sees me wandering the flat in pants many times over the course of her life), gets to admire them.
Oh well- just knowing I'm wearing them makes me feel better.
I actually hate clothes shopping, but love having new things once in a while. I feel very out of place amongst the ravenous, seemingly desperate Primark vultures. There were women everywhere with their eyes bulging and their arms swamped in multi-coloured sewn together fabrics. I just spy the stripes and the spots and basically grab and run- well grab, buy at the till and run.
I'm even thinking of getting my ears pierced. What with Primark, my work pixie boots and soon-to-be hooped earring look- am I turning into a chav?
It's good to have a new image when you start a new chapter in your life, but maybe not one that appears to be more of a nervous breakdown.

OK I'm probably way too much older than you to offer any shopping council but maybe you could have a peek at these (You asked!!)

Ok it's not spots unless you're very far away and not wearing the glasses you should, but it is pink and aqua!

I of course wouldn't be caught dead in either of these as being 10 years older and 2 stone overweight the words spotty, stripy and sleeveless are terrifying. I also hate shopping - hence the internetty advice!
Thank you I shall check these out!i must get into internet shopping- there is a whole world out there for us shop-phobics. Get me in Waitrose I'm in heaven, but I set foot in Top Shop and feel dizzy and my palms sweat. And you are never too old for dolly mixture taste I say!
