Thanks BD and ZombieGirl - I think it will look really lovely with maybe a fitted sweater in black or white - can't wait for Autumn/Winter to truly start so I can get to wear all the warmer things I've bought over the last few weeks!

Crazydaisy - Those are gorgeous trousers - nothing clown like about them - I'm sure they will look fabulous on you!

I love the dotty fabric and the buttons down the sides, great find, maybe wear a white halter neck tie top with them, keep it simple.

i got these - for next summer - and my husband couldn't stop laughing when he saw them, he said they look like clown trousers and that everyone will laugh at me, even on the beach...apparently it is my most risible vintage buy yet.

will i look stupid then, what do you think? i thought about pairing them with this blouse - perhaps not ideal, but that's what i've got - and tennis shoes.

my husband is saying that i've started losing the plot :eek:

This is the sellers picture of this suit I just got.

I decided to take a chance on it because the price and the size were right even if the swimming season is done here for the year. the Seller picture did nothing for this suit it is much cuter in person I was pleasantly suprised!!!! Definetly a steel.

CrazyDaisy... I saw those and instantly gasped with jealousy! That was even before I read your comments about the disagreeable husband. I have been in situations like that as well and I say that make sure you wear the pants and not the pants wear you. That is what makes the difference! You'll see that and He'll see that. I also like the sweater you have ready to pair with it!

I like the idea of the tennis shoes with the trousers and perhaps a simple shirt or halter top with the trousers is a good suggestion. I'm still green with envy. Actually i can't post a picture as i'm wearing it at the moment, and it is probably inappropriate, but i bought a great bra yesterday in an old lady shop locally - Triumph - Doreen, it's a bullet bra, long line,with nice thick straps, much more comfortable than any of the repro ones i own, in fact i have to keep checking i'm wearing a bra, it's that good.

I'm so jealous of all you Doreen wearers - I'd love one but they don't make my size - booo.

Miss Golightly - that circle skirt looks the perfect length and do I spy pockets too? I love pockets in circle skirts. I feel so swishy and chic when I swan around in my one with my hands in my pockets :)

It does indeed have a pocket (maybe there's two?!) - I love pockets in circle skirts too - in fact I had one that I didn't know had pockets until a few wears in! There's something so effortlessly stylish about circle skirts.....

Yep, i'm totally converted now, 'Where have you been all my life Doreen'?! I'm hoping they do other colours, although the shop only had white.

They have pink, black white and beige on Figleaves - And I think they're in the sale too! They have a Doreen swinsuit as well xx
