always ready with the advice

In which I comment on the items below, which Miss M has suggested her mother, my dear friend Alice C, have a look at, before they shop.
My comments are in bold.

Hi bb,
Just setting off to see beloved daughter. She sent this email in advance so that we could focus our shopping...
Am worrying much about Youngest - just to share the load.
Have a lovely Sunday

Sadly I can't find the link for the bag... Perhaps I imagined it but here is some other stuff instead!

Me thinks so: All Over Rose Print Tight

Are you tall and slim? Do you have long long legs?
One would require the legs of a giraffe to wear these. Were I to wear them, people would be forced to stare in horror, thinking my innards had somehow been sprayed onto my legs. I think. Am I being negative? Too negative? If you get them you cannot wear another print ANYWHERE on your body.

Or perhaps these.

These would require a thighectomy. Is there actual surgery to have one's outer thighs removed? I don't mean lipo - that stuff just comes back anyway. I mean actual lopping off of thigh. I'll bet the recovery would be very difficult and I can't decide if I'd want them to cut off my inner thigh or my outer thigh and you just know they couldn't do both side at the same time - too risky. Maybe I'd ask them to remove the outer thigh on my right leg and the inner thigh on my left.
Wait. Where were we? Oh, the lacy tights - yes...pretty!

It's just so hard to choose which curtains to match!
Are we only looking at tights?

Being serious....
This is not serious. This is a bikini. I'm sure you will look adorable in it and not at all like you have two tennis balls hanging inside a pair of socks which have been draped around your neck - if you follow me.

To match my party shoes.
Cute, cute, cute...the boyleg is adorable. For the thighless. Do people wear party shoes with bathing suits?


Or -
The right cup not matching the left cup would make me batty. Then again, even without odd stripes, my left cup probably doesn't match my right cup. You, obviously, ARE tall and thin. Horizontal stripes. Sheesh. This suit is CUTE AS A BUTTON! Bring a little white cardi to cover your shoulder and you'll look VERY JCrew.



But I'll stop because I think that's enough links...
Now I am thinking entirely too much about bathing suit shopping. And wondering if my bathing suits even FIT me.


What's weird is that they don't actually have any of the stock in the shop on the website so either they're really behind or someone hasn't bothered updating the website. Hmm...

Oh and what do you think of this?
Cute! Oh! Buy this dress! Retro adorable!

Yes or no?
YESYESYES! it's a copy of a beautiful couture dress! it's lovely!

And I'm done! Love xx


Ah, me...to have a girl child to shop with...

Here's hoping I get an update and find out what she bought!
