I just wear plain thin jumpers in the winter, and there was no timeless plain stuff here that wasn't acrylic. The ones made of decent wool had rubbish like flowers or polar bears or glittery bits on them - *spit* I missed M&S then.

Re: To Buy or Not to Buy - Ladies Fashion
Everyone knows my problems with Canadian bra purchasing, so I'm not really going to go there
I'd totally stock up on Scrundies, especially if you're not an A, B or C cup. I think there's only one place in Toronto that sells reasonably priced bras with larger cup sizes and small back sizes.
A couple of weeks ago I bought 2 bras and matching pants in my size and the bill came to an eye watering $400... Especially so as I know that one of the makes costs 75% less in the UK.
This is a favourite rant of mine, and long may it continue.
What I do is buy masses of the frilly stuff everytime I go back to the UK. I wouldn't touch M & S underwear stuff when I lived in the UK, but these days it's my idea of heaven...
PF- very particular about her smalls... or not so smalls

Re: To Buy or Not to Buy - Ladies Fashion
I have been stocking up on my bras, have bought about 7 in the last couple of months. Still need to get a couple of strapless ones, but then they are always a pain to get as they aren't designed to be comfy.
I have been shopping in Calgary a couple of times and did get some reasonably priced stuff from Winners and Le Chateau but most of the other shops seemed expensive. I though perhaps I just didn't know where to look.
I'm definitely thinking I need to go shopping in the end of summer sales and the January sales.

Re: To Buy or Not to Buy - Ladies Fashion
Ok then ladies, here`s a new question:
If we have stocked up on undies, woolly jumpers and thongs, how much do we have to dish out for things like nail extensions a decent cut & blow dry and/or colour on our hair?
What about the trips to the beauty salon for eye brow tints, leg/bikini line waxing!
If its costing loads for the undies and clothing i dread to think how much the above mentioned will cost
Could permanent hair removal be the answer????

Yesterday I was dragged kicking and screaming into Walmart and was unable to find one single skirt in the "fashion" department You can however get jeans in just about any length from buttock clinging shorts to ones that drag the floor.
It's quite amusing in the summertime to see middle aged women wearing the kind of shorts that only look good on skinny fourteen year old girls
