Hi all,


Quite often when I am nodding off to sleep at night, a question pops into my head, and I think, "I must post this on the forum - it is truly the only place I will get the right answer." Of course, when you wake up next day, you think - "How bonkers was that?"


Last night I considered posting a picture of an outfit I intend wearing to a wedding in April, and asking you if you thought the shoes were too dark! (In the cold light of day, I have realised, that they may well be, but I don't give a stuff if they are or not, I ain't buying no more....I'm only the bridesmaid after all!)


Any other crazy threads you've considered, then rejected for their inanity. Or do you just post on regardlessly?



PS - Should I post up my outfit?

Yes, definitely post your outfit.

And yes, I think of things to post all the time, mostly completely barking. Fortunately, my brain to mouth, or rather brain to typing fingers, filter is usually quite good. I do have occasional, embarrassing lapses though and the crazy sneaks out.

Link to bag failed, but anything a la Kidston would be sublime.


The dress is absolutely beautiful, I am sure you will look knockout. My only thought is that flat pumps with a strap at ankle position won't be flattering to your legs (nb, dark colour not a problem). Push the boat out with some heels.

Thank you for your endorsements Moos and PGC - I value your input! However, I must say I am not mad keen on heels, as I never wear heels and dread the idea of sore/tired feet.


I am conidering taking the shoes back to m and s in light of your comments. Good call!

HI Wee Quinnie,

Gorgeous gorgeous dress - I love Coast, always my first choice.

Glad to hear you're returning the shoes - good luck in your search. I had a similar problem when I was a bridesmaid - I simply hate wearing heels (come May I will return to wearing Birkenstocks for the next six months). But I did find some small silver heels in Dorothy Perkins (of all places!).

Love the necklace - you haven't mentioned what you are doing with your hair, but I have discovered that a fascinator adds a certain je ne sais quoi to a wedding outfit!

I am loving this thread Wee Quinnie - I definitley might post outfits in the future ....

Ooh, ooh, this is the funnest thing. Thank you, Wee Quinnie for starting this! The bag is lovely, and you can be tres smug when people ask you where you got it from.


Have you thought about wedges? Heels, but comfy! Great stuff. Or something with an ankle strap so it doesn't fall off your feet when you dance, but in a pale colour so flatters your leg. Sorry haven't found any shoes yet, but will keep trying.

Thank you Moos - hadn't thought of wedges.

    • I am looking for 10 or 20 jam jars as our apricot tree has way too much fruit. Happy to trade in a  2 kilos apricots for some jars.
    • They used to be clear dates when teachers could resign from permanent positions.  now isn’t one of them.  Any school receiving a sudden resignation at this time of the year wouldn’t be able to advertise andappoint a permanent member of staff by September.  They would probably use agency staff.
