Bought a Great Garment Lately?

[jaideii]

I ducked into Sportscraft the other day, and bought this fabulous pair of white jeans!!! I've been looking for white pants for ages, and there they were - perfect! :D

While i was there, i saw a gorgeous red belt that i thought would just set my white jeans off....and *gulp* I bought the black belt too! (shhh)

I wore them when we went out for dinner that night, white pants, red belt, white top, black throw. Along with red shoes and my red bag i felt like a million bucks! :D

RED IS SO IN LADIES! :D

Have you bought a Great Garment lately?

[Patricia]

Do new nighties for hospital count? :hehe:

Your outfit sounds FAB Jaide..now we just need a pic please :)

[jaideii]

Shoulda taken a piccy eh..next time :D I do love those jeans, never worn white before, always too afraid of...well, you know..white pants! Danger, danger!

I've got some from the Monastery..will put one in my avatar! Just tic, going to grab my camera!! (Don't ya love the way you can just get the card out and shove it into the slot your laptop!!)

[Patricia]

I didn't realize that white jeans were back in fashion again until Cal came home and told me he was looking for a nice pair....the height of cool apparently...:yes:

[jaideii]

Cal must be a 'withit' guy eh?

And yeah, black jeans are back 'in' too! I always thought they were just for bogans...LMAO

[Coffeebean]

I got a great bargain today at Target..... it's a long sleeve track top - was only $7.80!!! Woooo hoooooo!
I know it is summer soon, but great for the occasional cool evening etc.....

[jaideii]

Wow, that's good Coffee! I lurrve Target!! Love the black pants that turn over a the top....i bought some up north for $30 and here, in Perth, at another local shop, not Target, they were $100 for exactly the same thing! Oh gosh, that's right..i think there's a SALE on Women's Clothing there today!! :runs:

[Coffeebean]

I love fold over pants..... soooooooooooo comfy!!!!

[jaideii]

I love fold over pants..... soooooooooooo comfy!!!!

Meeee too!! They have two kinds there...the good ones..for going out, and the tracky style sport ones...i have both!! And i'm wearing the latter now!!!!!! Yep! Very comfy! :yes: :D

[Coffeebean]

Me too.....
I love them all......
They are just the best!! :D

[jaideii]

We certainly agree on that one! :D They don't sell white pants tho...:hehe:

[Coffeebean]

I have seen white fold overs before (a couple of years ago) but they were a little see through.....
Try Witchery.....
Cause they used to make lovely fold over pants.....

[jaideii]

Actually, funny you should say that..i did get a pair of white fold over pants..from a shop here called Flower (not sure if you have that in the East?) but they're 3/4 ones..and more for summer. And they're a bit firm, and show the bumps a bit too much i reckon! These jeans i got are stiffer fabric, less revealing, and more complimentary. I like Witchery..have bought a few nice things there :)

[Coffeebean]

Not heard of the shop called Flower.... but sounds lovely!
You have some lovely stores over in WA... always a great place for shopping! Better than Melb! :D

[jaideii]

Can't beat Bridge Road in Melb tho!!!! Do you go there Coffee? Yeah, I think Flower may be a WA shop actually, with the main one being in Cotts...it's my fav shop :D

[Coffeebean]

I love Perth for shopping.....
Bridge Road is ok..... But really love the shops over your way.
Maybe I prefer shopping when on holiday??? LOL

[jaideii]

What shops do you like here in Perth Coffee? Or where have you been? They're building a MASSIVE shopping complex here in Claremont! Can't wait till that's finished :D We go to Garden City for browsing around a big centre..but otherwise i mostly shop in Fremantle..:yes: And yep, shoppings always good when ya on hols! :)

[Cherie]

OMG,Have just come home from shopping and saw this thread.
Today I bought a Red Handbag and Red Shoes to match. Shoes are fabo with a toe peep and sling back. I am so loving the red white and black at the moment.:D

[jaideii]

Ohhh Cherie! You did???

What sort of bag? And what sort of shoes????

Me too! Love the red, white and black!!! :D

[Diana]

Had a peek at this thread I volunteer at an op-shop and we get a few of those fold over pants,have never tried them.Do they add bulk at the waist?I am only 5'2,but I agree they do look like they would be comfy.

[jaideii]

I don't reckon they do Diana!

[Cherie]

This is what the shoes look like.:D

[jaideii]

Gorgeous Cherie! I love 'em!!!!!

[Cherie]

Handbag is Red Barrel double handle, very chic. Will put up a pic later.

[Patricia]

It really is true, if you just wait long enough all the old stuff will eventually come back into fashion..:yes:

[Mesmereyes]

I bought a new top new skirt and new dress the other day for a total of $48.50 and as usual they wll sit in my wardrobe cos I look so fat in them LMAO..

[jaideii]

Looks like you've lost a lot tho mes, from your ticker loss thingy there! :)

Yeah, i reckon we do have cycles...but it's so nice to have something new to wear! :D

[Patricia]

Mes! Didn't you try them on? :blink:

Now I have a song in my head, "Everything old is new again!"...LMAO

[jaideii]

Now that song will be stuck there P!

Talking about old stuff...when i was 18 i had this really cool wooden belt that was a chocolate brown, and a mustard colour...sort of wooden slats woven together..which has this incredible buckle!

My 21 year old daughter wears it now! :)

[Mesmereyes]

Yes Trish I did try them on, and I thought they looked OK, when I got home and showed DH he is like WOWWW they lookgreat,, but I did not like them anymore,, ( but honeslty that is what I do all the time), yes I have lost 8 kilos but need to loose another 88 to look good LMAO

[jaideii]

Yeah right mes! 88! Gawd.

Sometimes i think we do that tho...we wish we were a certain size before we can wear a particular thing..so until we are that, we don't wear it..but i think we should just wear it..and be happy with ourselves.

Believe me, i'm not overweight or anything..but i've battled with my weight, all my life..always think i'm fatter than i am! It's terrible really. Whatever size we are..we never seem to be happy. Well that's how i am anyway..

[Georgie]

Wow, that's good Coffee! I lurrve Target!! Love the black pants that turn over a the top....i bought some up north for $30 and here, in Perth, at another local shop, not Target, they were $100 for exactly the same thing! Oh gosh, that's right..i think there's a SALE on Women's Clothing there today!! :runs:

Jaideii you are a crack up! Couldn't stop laughing.

[Jeniwren]

I've bought 2 fab things this year (besides handbags) Number 1 is an ivory cotton cardi/bolero in England. It goes with just about everything and looks great. Number 2 is a black Hanro nightie I bought in Harrods :blush: :yes:

[jaideii]

Oi jenni! What's wrong with A Hanro Nighty?? Or is it Harrods you're blushing about??

Hmmm what did i buy there......I bought...um, what did i buy there...um....gee, i didn't buy anything there in the end...wanted too tho!!!! (Just didn't fit in my backpack!)

I signed the Diana Memorial book tho..(last year) Did you?

Oh wait! I know what we bought...coffee and scones in that little place downstairs...very nice place too! :D Had the silver cutlery and lovely china....felt like royalty!

Both...Hanro make the most divine cotton underwear and Harrods is just fabulous!! It doesn't matter who you are the staff are friendly and helpful. I was staying 4 blocks from them so it was a little hard to not keep going back...not to mention it was sales time :blush:

[miss kiki]

i bought cute halloween socks! :hehe:
today i'm going out to buy a halloween costume. whoohoo!

[Nicole83]

I bought a really nice Black silk dress to wear out last weekend

[Cherie]

Nice, Nicole. Love the little black dress.:)
Kiki I can just imagine what your socks look like.:D

[jaideii]

Are you talking the swiss Hanro? They looked expensive! LOL

Harrods..We were there a couple of times last year...but only bought tea and scones in the little coffee shop there! We went to look at the artwork! LMAO Signed the Diana book tho :D

How long were you in London for?

[miss kiki]

cherie, when i wear them, i'll make sure to take a pic. :) they're so cute! :D

[Jeniwren]

Yep Swiss Hanro. Feels fabulous on!

I spent 3 days there this time....so much better without the DD in tow :D I actually got to see & do some things :D

I've decided that Harrods is my new weakness. As I said the staff were so nice...and I wasn't dressed in fab clothes...just my Lululemon pants, a little top & ballet flats. I think my current enduring impression of London is Harrods staff :hehe:


And I've since bought ,or rather DH bought for me a great red dress from Laura Ashley....I can't wait to wear it out.

Cal must be a 'withit' guy eh?

And yeah, black jeans are back 'in' too! I always thought they were just for bogans...LMAO


i guess i've been a bogan for most of my life then, as black jeans at the only ones i had at one stage.. bogan!! :uhno:

on the other hand.. i've always looked askance at white jeans.. LMAO i have never worn white pants of any kind...

[Jessica-Rose]

I have a really lovely wrap skirt one of the ones that you can wear 100 different ways :yes: i love it!! I keep swapping from wearing it as a skirt, dress, shirt. I really want to get some more. They are so comfy and lovely.

[Cherie]

Zen, The thing with white pants is that a lot of women do not realise you have to wear bone coloured undies. White undies show through and make you look cheap, whereas bone colour ones dont.

[zen]

that's a good tip Cherie!

talking of great garments.. i just bought one! was on sale from $75 to $20! a long loose knit top, in purple! i suppose it's a cardigan technically... it will go really well over my usual black top and pants come next winter..
