307 days to go: Grey Dawn

A prison day today - catching up with my creative writers.
After a very late night (my sister in law and husband called last night) I grabbed together a few things from my wardrobe in the murky half-light of the grey dawn.
It ended up like this...
Shirt dyed black: Boden
White Waistcoat; Dorothy Perkins
Jeans: Gap Curvy
Shoes: Clark's

330 days to go

Our Last Night!!!!

We spent a lovely day on the beach with the family of our eldest son's girlfriend. They also have four children and the kids hired a pedalo. My husband snorkelled and ---yes you guessed it, I read my book. Although I did swim in the sea.
It was a lovely day.
In the afternoon I retired to pack while my husband and our son's girlfriend's dad retired to the pool bar. The children watched Shrek.
In the evening we went out for paella at a restaurant by the sea.

Day 15: Amusement Park Chic

We are off to Blackpool Pleasure (?) Beach. My daughter, Briony and her two friends, Carly and Lucy. It is Briony's annual birthday treat. She loves Blackpool Pleasure Beach. I hate it. But as a good parent, I smile and I try to look as if I am enjoying it.
To cheer myself up I wore...
Red T-Shirt, Primark (2008)
Boden Children's wear Skirt (2008)
Converse (as before)
Red heart necklace (as before)
Green ring (as before)
Denim Jacket (Tesco, 2005)
Gold hoop ear-rings. Gift from Dubai (1998)
Here's an extra pic from the day.

Day 11: Pretty (?) In Pink

So far I have spared you my pink passion.
Pink is my favourite colour and usually dominates my dress.
My mum says that when I was a child I looked so sickly that the only colour which made me look vaguely healthy was pink.
And I have stuck to that cure-all ever since.
When I'm sick I want a big dose of pink, in whatever form that may be.
It is still grey and windy here so to make the weather feel better I wore....

White shirt (Boden, 2006)
Grey tweedy style trousers (M & Co, 2007)
Pink cardigan (French Connection, 2005)
Black leather shoes (as yesterday)
Black Bangle (Debenhams)
Pink necklace (Tesco, 2006)
