64 days to go: The forecast is pink

More wild, windy weather.
It's May and I'm wearing boots.
I am not happy with the weather right now so I am going to make my own.
It will be pink and frothy - just like my skirt and cardigan.
It is that time of year when you don’t want to wear a coat but it is too cold to leave the hosue without one. Thank goodness for the great range of cardigans on offer like the ones here.
Hope the weather is better for you.



I wore...
Boots - Dorothy Perkins
Skirt - River Island
Belt - Off Matalan dress
T-shirt - Gap
Cardigan - Primark

240 days to go: New York, John Lennon and My Hat

It was a freezing Saturday this weekend and I was still cold as I drove my eldest son to referee a football match.
On the way we travelled through the Penny Lane area of Liverpool, immortalised in the song of the same name.
And as I passed the fire station where "there is a fireman" who "likes to keep his fire engine clean", it came to me - my faux leather Baker Boy hat.
I had bought it in preparation for my trip to New York in 2002 when I ran the New York Marathon to raise funds for Marie Curie Nurses.
Although I wasn't a Beatles fan, my pal, Peter (see him with Sir Paul McCartney here) was.
I sat opposite Peter for years at The Liverpool Echo and as he is one of the world's leading experts on The Beatles I gained an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Fab Four.
So when I was getting ready for New York I promised Peter I would get my photograph taken in Strawberry Fields in Central Park.
I bought the hat to add a sixties swing to the photo.
The added bonus was that the hat was very, very warm.
After dropping my eldest son off at his match I returned home to dig out the hat.
And beneath the cold blue suburban skies I watched my youngest son's soccer game.
I couldn't resist posting some of my snaps of New York - Happy Days!



















On Saturday I wore....
Brown Boots - Clark's
Brown Trousers - M & C0.
Cream thermal top - Autograph
Black thermal t-shirt - Debenhams
Scarf - Matalan
Faux Fur Coat - Charity Shop

241 days to go: Vote For Magazine Shoot Outfit

I need your help.
In February my husband and I will celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary and we have been interviewed by a national women's magazine which is writing a feature on the subject of marriage.
On Monday a photographer is coming to take our photograph for the magazine.
Now I have that perennial problem - what should I wear?
And that dear readers, is where I hope you will help me.
You have already seen a vast amount of my wardrobe over the past five months.
And you probably have a better objective view of what works for me.
If you could take the time to vote for your favourite outfit or a mix of any already pictured I would be very, very grateful.
And of course in January you will have the satisfaction of seeing your style advice in print in the form of the outfit I will wear.
If you would like to help please leave a comment or email me at workthatwardrobe@googlemail.com

Today is my last fling in a skirt before the weekend when it will be jeans and woolly pullies.

Have a great one.
