130 days to go: Blue Floral



As this dress was the winner of last week's vote I decided to wear it again.
However, despite the bright sunshine it was still pretty cold so I spent most of the day wrapped up in a cardigan.
The warmer weather must be on its way soon.

178 days to go: Flower Power Part Two



Darla has posted about the green shoots of spring peeping through which may explain my current draw towards anything flowery.
I love this skirt as it can easily be worn all year round. It is stiff cotton and looks fine with boots in the winter and a strappy top and flip flops in the summer.
I am getting carried away with thoughts of summer and warmer climes.
No doubt a weekend by a wet and windy football pitch will bring me back down to (the sodden) earth very quickly!

Boots - Dorothy Perkins
Skirt - Matalan
Polo - New Look

198 and 197 days to go: A new challenge - Pimp My Dress


Thank you to my very generous mother in law who gave me vouchers that paid for this dress.
It is the most perfect dress for me.
The right shape, the right length and so versatile.
It was £25.00 from New Look and came with the belt.
As you can see I have worn it twice this weekend.
On Saturday with the refashioned cardigan and Sunday with the orange shirt.
I am also wearing the new black boots.
My challenge to you dear bloggers is using your familiarity with my wardrobe please make some suggestions on how you would like me to wear the dress.
I have lots of ideas but thought it would be fun if you had a go at styling me.




Please leave your suggestions in the comment box and I promise to try them and out and give full credit.

Footnote: I wondered whether I should use the word "Pimp" due to its obvious conatations despite its common use in "dressing up" cars, houses etc.
However, when I looked up the etymology I discovered the word has obscure origins but is linked to the French words "pimpant" which means smart or well-dressed and "pimper" - to dress smartly!

Day 21: Purple or Orange?



I once worked for a PR firm whose corporate colours were orange and purple and it seems to have seeped into my subconscious somehow.
It is cold and dull. I want to be warm and bright. But I couldn't decided purple or orange cardigan?
You decide.
