Penny the peacock...or peahen. Whatever.

Hello!

Before I start I thought I'd just show you my current coat that I've been wearing.

Coat:
It is actually from Newlook and it was £50 last year. It came with a ugly ribbon corsage type thing which I binned as soon as I cut the price tag off. But anyway, I love this because I'm always losing the buttons off my tops and coats, even my jeans and dresses. I guess I'm just too fat, too strong and too clumsy!

I don't know if you can see clearly in the pic, but basically the coat is like a dressing gown style. I 'fasten' the coat by pulling it together and securing it with the tie-belt. I think it's really cute and 'jaunty' and it gives me a nice shape from the front, but I admit that the only downfall is the side profile...I look like a pregnant whale. But oh well, at least I get a seat on public transport ;)

....So anyway.....continuation from my lunchtime browse...and before I start, what's up with my new pose?! lol Hand on hip. FIERCE lol

These photo's [below] were taken in a Peacocks dressing room.

Dress 1:

This is a dress from the Pearl Lowe range at Peacocks and RRP is £30. It is gorgeous and flattering. It is extremely see-through but my obsession with slips sorts that problem out! In the photo I've got it on with skinny jeans, and I guess it looks all right, but personally I'd wear this bare legged or with opaques, and pumps or heels.

I usually like short or quarter sleeved items, or I usually roll/push my sleeves up but with this dress I wouldnt touch the sleeves. Gorgeous. Perfect proportions.

I really really want this. I think it might be a bit OTT for work...though that doesn't usually stop me ;) but the only problem is that it is handwash only and I HATE handwash only. I would stick it in the washing machine on the handwash cycle but I hate doing it knowing that my dress might come out barbie-sized any wash, might be the 1st wash, but be the 100th. I hate the suspense!!!

Dress 2:


This is simple aka boring but a throw on dress that every girl needs in her wardrobe. The RRP is £14 and the colour here is described as 'natural', slightly darker in real life then as represented in the photo. It does come in black also, but not in stock in my size but I actually like this colour. Not sure if it's a good colour on me but I don't care, I want both dresses!

Peacocks website has a current promo, 10% off all everything, and free delivery if order is more than £30, so if I ordered both dresses.......30+14=44 - 10% = £39.60......ARGH I need to win the lottery!!!
