121 days to go: First up, best dressed


I have no idea whose top this is.
It could belong to my daughter or my son's girlfriend but as I was in a rush to get out to football I grabbed the first warm top I could lay my hands on.
Despite the forecast for a sunny day it was very cold here as the mist failed to lift.
I went for a six mile run this morning which makes 24 this week - I am happy if I run over 20 miles a week.
After football we took the dog to the beach.
I spent the afternoon curled up on the sofa with my latest book, Friday Nights by Joanna Trollope as my children were all out.
It was very strange having a Saturday afternoon with nothing to do.

I wore...
Ugg boots
Gap Jeans
Top - ?
t-shirt - Primark

321 days to go: Fulsome (!) Prison Blues



Tuesday
7am
Back to the prison where I work as a writer in residence two days a week.
Dressing for prison always gives me the blues as it's a dilemma for obvious reasons.
I usually wear trousers and while I like to feel good I don't want to look in any way at all provocative.
My staple prison wardrobe in recent times has been jeans and a fitted top. I don't wear a belt as I have to wear a thick black belt which carries my keys and whistle!!!
I decided that I will try and go for colour combinations to keep me interested.
I loved Sheila's post about brown and turquoise and had a dyeing frenzy. I dyed lots of off white camisoles and tops turquoise. I am quite pleased with the results.

6pm
Back in for a quick bite to eat before watching my eight-year-old play a game of football so swapped the shoes for blue boots (Aldi).

I wore..

Jeans...Gap
Turquoise Camisole (dyed) ... Dorothy Perkins
Fawn Top...Gap
Shoes..Clark's (again, I know!)
Pendant and bangle..Free with Spanish Instyle

PS Don't you just love this long lightweight cardigan I saw modelled by a mannequin at my local M&S store?
