You may remember when we changed our broadband/phone provider, I got £75 in Love to shop vouchers
I'd spent some, on everyday tops, and today spent the rest
I got a couple of much-needed basics (t-shirt, polo neck), a nice thick cotton polo neck and a pretty cotton blouse in EWM.
And Peacocks replacements for my warm Coolers slippers that fell apart last year.

But amazingly the best buy was a dress, from Peacocks, which will be lovely for Christmas day and also if we're invited to neighbours etc - for £20!
This one
It fits beautifully, and looks really smart
Thankfully in my M&S spree I got some shoes

That is lovely. What great value.

Di that is gorgeous - I presume you got the black one?

I got a dress for Christmas too, from M&S but as it was on their sale rail a month or so back there is no link, as it's no longer current

It's red in quite a thick jersey fabric, with 3/4 fitted sleeves, a scoop neck (not at all low) fitted bodice, and a straight skirt

Oh and it was a tenner, down from £40

Yes the black one
The red was very bright but none in my size anyway - since it's the only dress I have it's best to be versatile

Kaz that sounds like a brill bargain, and hopefully one you will be able to keep for future Christmases too

And although I mentioned shoes, actually I rather liked the lace dress with my fabby new boots
It does need a necklace...

That is lovely! You can't beat a nice bit of black lace. I quite like the red one too!

What a smashing dress Di and absolutely something I'd wear..with boots.

It really is lovely, I'd honestly defy anyone to spot the cheap dress in a line-up

I love the sleeves, they're perfect. I didn't want sleeveless and then need a cardi or something, but given that I'll be cooking, didn't want long ones either

Now Kaz (or someone) please pick me the right kind of necklace
I was thinking maybe big fat short beads?
Those long necklaces look nice but I always feel they're in the way, and bang on the table/poke the dog's eye

Of course it is entirely down to the individual but I would wear my simple silver cross with that dress as I'd feel the lace was enough.

But we're all different..whatever you choose will look great, I'm sure.

Ally is right, you don't need much with lace Something simple I think

Fab with boots Di, I often wear boots with dresses

Oh and scarves, I like scarves with dresses
