I bought a really nice linen shirt in M&S, I also bought a nice light cottony knit jumper, in navy with thin green stripes but can't find that on the website :roll: :lol:

Shirt

The shirt's lovely Kaz, I love linen tops, especially ones you can use as an open jacket like that one :)
The jumper sounds lovely too :D

Yes I had it in mind to wear open like that too 8-)

Wish I could find a link to the knit, it's really nice. Also I bought 14s but nearly bought 16s as they looked smallish, but they fit ok so I am pleased on that score too 8-) I often need 16s for tops as I am bigger on the top than on the bottom, so this shows the weight I've lost :)

Even better :D
Also, I've learned that it can actually look better to have the smaller size (not too small!) - as opposed to the one you think covers it all up :D Basically I guess you're not kidding anyone, and something that fits properly just looks better. Gok's been saying it for years but it's only recently he's convinced me :lol:

Yes, when you are pretty busty like me, but have a reasonable waistline it's a mistake to wear things too baggy, as you just look even bigger :? :lol:

Thanks Jo - wearing the new stripy top today, with a green pashmina I've had for ages folded over and tied like a long scarf - it looks nice :)

Oh I found a link to my jumper except mine is a navy background with apple green trim....no image available for that although IMO it is nicer than the coral ;)

I love their cotton jumpers - and yes, your colours sound much much nicer :)

Is that a swatch of your colours Kaz? I clicked on it but it said there was no image. I like those colours together :)
