I'm keeping this short because my fingers have cramped up for some reason and I'm finding it difficult to type...

Remember how I was talking about mum-pleasing labels?  I know for a fact wearing this season's COS would please her so because a) it's a friendly chain store that never gave her headaches a few years ago when I had to drag my mother out shopping with me (that would be you Topshop at Brent Cross Shopping Centre) and b) the clothes are at first glance achingly demure and if styled just like the lookbook here would incite comments of approval from all the 'aunties' saying how 'guai' I look.... translation being obedient/sensible and c) the price points are as such that they're Primark-cheap raising suspicions of poor quality and they're not extravagant either which means the mothership won't rag on about mortgages and the like.... (she has come round to my 'rent 4 life' way of thinking though...)

That I'm posting this is a dire indication of my missing the mothership...

Of course my usual habit of buying COS gets wrecked by the fact that I would never style it in this lookbook way...

And yes, that was another COS related post... and yes, I have eaten my initial words with relish...lots of salt and pepper...
