Whilst I was home, I treated myself to a couple of things from the Dorothy Perkins 70% Off Sale with the last of my Christmas money. Normally I hate shopping online, I love the convenience, but because I am 'curvier' I find sizing can be tricky if I don't already know how things fit from that shop. This means that with most orders, at least half of it gets sent back because of the fit.
Oddly enough, when my delivery came from Dotty P's, the cardigan, jumper, skirt and tights all fit perfectly. However, when it came to the shoes, a lovely pair of white brogues with a little strap over the laces, I tried on one and it was absolutely fine, tried on the second and it felt a little roomy. I looked at the bottom of the second shoe only to discover that, although the label said it was a 7 (yes, I have flippers, I swim very well though!) the imprint on the sole said 8!
With clenched fists I cursed at the sky and solemnly placed the mismatched pair into their cardboard casket of rejection, Chopin's Piano Sonata No.2 playing in my head.
Anyway, lets not get bogged down with memories of beautiful items returned before their time, and instead celebrate the clothes that did make it!
I've fallen in love with this cardigan, it's thick, warm, soft and who doesn't love a good tartan print?!
