the apple never falls far from the tree...

i walked into the living room this morning, and noticed a summer sale mini-catalogue from Joules Clothing.
We got the first catalogue through about two months ago, and I immediately took an irrational disliking to it. It appeals to the 'english village community spirit' (which, living in an english village, i know does not actually exist...) with captions like "this dress would look PERFECT for putting up the bunting around the fete"
oh, go away.

anyway. the sale catalogue.
I opened it up and saw a dress a couple of pages in.

jo jo dress
"OH!" i thought. "that would look LOVELY on mum!"
made a note on the page for her.

turned a couple more pages and saw THE swimming costume i've been looking for.

ohara swimsuit
i wanted a one piece, with a floral print and a halter neck.
and there it is.
perhaps not as nice a shape as this from mod cloth, but a whole lot cheaper, and with a pretty print.
drew an arrow to the costume, with a couple of exclamation marks.

stood up.
saw a note from mum.
it reads


oh dear indeed.
but she "might order tonight"
yay (:

that dress reminds me of the kate moss for topshop one a bit, though i think this one is nicer.

Funny how moms seem to know what we like sometimes. My mom found me fantastic ankle boots once..
