I saw a coat when I was out and about with my Mum last weekend and decided it was the ideal thing to get with some gift vouchers I had been given some time ago. I had a feeling the vouchers were about to run out and I didn’t want to take any chances. I went back yesterday to try it on. I wasn’t sure which size I would need so I tried two sizes and decided the bigger size was the best fit around my waist and hips. I also thought it would still look all right when I have lost a bit more weight.
Later in the evening I asked my family members what their opinion was. There was a comment about the cuffs being odd and that I hadn’t got it on straight but I didn’t really get an answer one way or the other… At times like this I miss my Dad, he would have told me whether it looked good or not and if it didn’t why.
Now I must dash I have some last minute jobs to do before some last minute visitors arrive for the weekend. It was going to be my only free weekend until the middle of November…
A very tricky one, CP. For a truly honest and composite response, we your fans must vote anonymously. Pics with the clothes on and off, please.
Oh please MTG, not with clothes ‘off’.
Cherie Pie is a lady!
Since we have seen the clothes off I was merely suggesting a glimpse of the clothes on
MTG,
Just to clarify… You have seen the coat on the chair and know you would like to see me model it?
Bernard,
Thanks, I do try to be a lady
Mmmm, I thought my first submission was more flexible, CP.
Sorry MTG, I read it as ‘photos with the clothes off’, whereas you meant ‘photos of the clothes off’. Clear now.
OK I think we can take it as read that I will always be covered in some clothes here
I think it looks great. But you should post a pic of you wearing it. We will be honest cos you don’t know where we live
I will get a pic of me wearing it.
I always enjoy an honest answer
Don’t be quite so sure you are anonymous
…
You didn’t say what colour is is.
Can you barter with vouchers?
The picture shows the colour if the garment.
Bartering – no i didn’t with the gift vouchers. Maybe you can give me lessons on how
I like red. But royal blue would go well with your eyes. Show us more choices.:)
I was told many years ago a technique to make your eyes stand out.
With eyeshadow you must use a colour that is not in your eye.
Red ball on green grass always stands out
I have never bartered with vouchers[who'd give me a voucher? LOL] But I ALWAYS barter with cash. Last week I bought 4 designer pairs of glasses and saved £357-
I was at the optometrist’s, found out I needed reading/driving glasses so decided to buy several pairs to negotiate a better deal. I never pay retail price[on principle].
I would imagine one could barter with vouchers.
That jacket is so vibrant,it’s going to look lovely on you, Cherie!
My brother also likes to barter and he is pretty good at it
Thanks for the compliment
I am rather fond of red.
Yes, we’d all like to see you model it.
I will get round to it
I’m sure you will look lovely in it CP,
– but whatever you do,
don’t buy a red hat to go with it.
My Granny used to say “Red hat, no drawers!”
You might see me in a pink hat but a red one… I don’t think so
For that reason, I love taking my son shopping. I do get a truly honest answer ~ even if my bum does look too big in it!
I need to come shopping with the two of you someday
