Didn't consider the lace options and I am not keen on lace (think its ageing). Anyway, I ordered the ASOS tuxedo, and they arrived today (ordered Size 8, 10 and 12 as ASOS are never consistent in size). I am a size 8/10 and the Size 10 fit nicely, Size 12 also wasn't too bad if you want that low slung on your hip look. I would have taken the 10 as it was comfortable fit. The navy is a midnight blue, the material is OK. BUT, it doesn't matter what top you wear with it, they make you look wider than normal...............and who wants that look!?!? They do look like a skirt unless you sashay like a runway model at all times. All in all culottes are a no no for me, so I am going to stick to the crop trouser which I think is very slimming especially worn with a heel.

Have a navy scuba pair, those Top Shop pleather ones, tan real leather ones from H&M (which I got half price in the sale), grey wool Mango ones, checked Warehouse ones and a brown Top Shop number which is more like a divided skirt. I think I may have a problem - but they suit me way better than skinny trousers so I am taking full advantage!Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-674931679485927082015-01-14T12:40:04.765-08:002015-01-14T12:40:04.765-08:00oh no that's a shame.

Now over-the-knee boots, I'm with you there. In fact I just bought a pair of navy blue suede ones from Faith at Debenhams - originally £135, down to £40, so with the £20 gift card I got for Xmas, only cost me 20 quid! They're fab too, little heel and pointed toe. Stretchy bit down the back so the fit on the calf is perfect. My best bargain of the sales! They look gorgeous over skinny jeans, can't wait to wear them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-19960332625029056042015-01-14T06:44:33.302-08:002015-01-14T06:44:33.302-08:00We had snow on our trip in late Jan a couple of ye...We had snow on our trip in late Jan a couple of years ago and the pavements were totally clear by breakfast time !

I am excited that you will be able to come to NYC. You will have a blast. You'll have to go to Piperlime downtown. They just opened a store there. Also, Banana Republic would be worth a peek. I love Madewell and Artiza too. There are a bunch of great shops downtown near Houston St. There is also a fab restaurant called Balthazar that my friends and I always go to from brunch when we are in for the weekend. Sometimes we stay right through lunch. Need any suggestions for restaurants like me know!! I go in about 6-8 times a year. The buildings are always very hot in the winter so be sure to layer or you'll roast inside.

I lost one of my favorite aunts and my godfather last year and that made me realize I'm am very much not ready for this phase in life. But i'll have to at 44! Culottes: no. I won't even try. I'm short-ish (5'5'') with broad hips, I'd look ridiculous in them I know for sure. And what do wear with them now? Tights? Yuk! But you are tall and skinny, you could very well carry them of! Good luck with the packing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-20785617646241545282015-01-14T05:09:35.561-08:002015-01-14T05:09:35.561-08:00Oh the pocket thing - so with you on that! Right,...Oh the pocket thing - so with you on that! Right, like I said about, either a fitted shorter jacket (or wrap around) or a longer wrap around coat..... I think that works really well. Shoe wise - knee high boots are a great 70's vibe - other than that, I think treat them like midi skirts. So ankle boots work, pointy flats look great and a heel shoe also works. I'd also wear with sneakers for the summmer xxxKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874946171943263803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-73255247074122762722015-01-14T05:08:13.365-08:002015-01-14T05:08:13.365-08:00ha ha ha!
