Clayvember clo

[tabouli]

Feh. I wasn't planning to join in this Clovember in May business half my flist seems to be doing, but when it comes to clo, I'm all too easily swayed. Besides, I was pleased with today's outfit, and I figured I might as well share my pleasure. As it were.

C'mon M. You can do it. In fact, I sporadically entertain the idea of having a Clothes Hour one day before our Pendragon meetings, when you can try on sundry garments of mine (e.g. a pair of charcoal skinny cords in Pumpkin Patch girls' size 11, the infamous 8B, Target girls' size 14 T-shirts, which fit me nicely, anything else I can find in the Garage Of Doom which I think might be your sort of thing, etc.) and thereby bypass the whole going into children's shop self-consciousness issue because you'll be informed enough to order online. Or geez, inherit your pick of my oceans of old stuff, as no-one's so much as sniffed at the two pairs of shoes I put on eBay, and I'm not convinced I'll ever sell anything there.

With Pumpkin Patch, take a look at girls' dresses (where you're probably a size 11 or 12): http://www.pumpkinpatch.com.au/girl/girl/ , and don't get alarmed by the photos with 8yo models. Quite like the houndstooth dress, myself. The one you and JJ were admiring on me was the skater dress (now $20!). My return to a more typical pre-baby weight means I probably can't do anything non-stretchy from them any more, but you could. For some reason the cut of their Urban Angel line doesn't seem to work as well for me, but there's some quite nice stuff going on there, too: http://www.pumpkinpatch.com.au/girl/urban-angel-girl/ . I'm not such a fan of cap sleeves, but their solid colour skater dresses are quite pretty, I think. Start with a size 12 (150cm height) and work from there.

Ohhhh, that sounds like fun! One of the reasons I don't buy clothes online is because of my size. Unlike you, I can't be bothered waiting for something to arrive only to have to send it back for an exchange.

*Gah*, I followed the links I gave you above on a whim, and now I've BOUGHT SOMETHING! NOOOO! I'm supposed to be on a RIGID budget! Still. It was cheap. And quirky. And has a camel on it. I suspect it's not your sort of thing, but put it with a shortish black top and it's definitely mine. That said, it may fall afoul of the children's clothing not being cut for womanly hips problem, but hey, if that happens, I'll just return it. http://www.pumpkinpatch.com.au/flatshot/S3UA70007/col/PAPAYAPUNC/listing/237494/categorypath/girl/urban-angel-girl/
