    I am so glad that my foray into clothes shopping has inspired others I can honestly say that it is the best thing I have done in ages.:beer:

    People's reactions are funny though just shows what a difference it has made - today when I went to get some signatures I needed off some friends they asked me where I had been when I said the doctors they replied he must be dishy :rotfl:said he was a she but didn't bother explaining the change- as my OH said they will just have to get used to it :)

    Doctors was mixed went for a second attempt at a smear:( to be told I have the cervix of a 16 year old:) pity the rest of me was not in the same condition :o

    My iron levels are low and my thyroid appears to be underactive so have to go back for further tests in 8 weeks could explain a lot of things but will have to wait and see.

    My 21month old is now smothered in spots and feeling pretty miserable thankfully the baby only has five and seems fine she is gaining weight rapidly. The other two have recovered and are back at school.

    Just trying now to catch up on jobs and paperwork that have taken a back seat over the last couple of weeks did deep clean the lounge yesterday and empty my wardrobe hoping to be able to put all my stuff away later today and OH's course has finished so he will be home which will make things easier.

    DT I found the Box2 website today, the clothes are gorgeous :)

    Which ones did you buy? Or is that being too nosey.

    OK just for you this is what I bought

    White and black Angel collar shirt
    Kasbah optic print chiffon jacket
    Yoek black and white stripe jersey jacket and black jersey bootcut trousers
    Pink, pistachio and beige signature short sleeved t shirt
    Via Appia black and white pattern tunic
    Via Appia blue and white t shirt
    Tom Black heavy rib lime jacket
    White and black Signature long sleeved t shirt
    Earth and white Signature long linen trousers
    Charcoal and black Kasbah fine knit tie cardigan
    Zele black and cream stripe cardigan
    Leopard print chiffon scarf plus another scarf not on website
    Signature earth jersey tie jacket and earth jersey trousers

    Oversized beads x3 which are not on website

    Another pair of black trousers but I cant remember which ones and I am too lazy to go check :o

    I didn't buy any skirts as most were too formal and I have formal wear wanted casual wear I also have several skirts that I am happy with and will go with what I have bought. Most of the items I would not have bought individually but once you start layering them and dressing with beads and scarves they are transformed. I was given one of the scarves and one string of beads :)

    Finished clearing my wardrobe and put everything away really pleased with that and I have room for anything else I might buy ;)

    I now have cardigans and shirts which I have not had in years and they fit :)

    Oh wow, thats a total revamp! Excellent. One thing that was useful yesterday in looking at all my tops - I thought I'd have to shell out for some new T shirts, as they're all quite short - but looking at everything, I have half a dozen more of the longer ones than I thought. Some are really old, tho I knew about those. It just opens up more variety - and thats an important comment about layering and dressing - I just haven't been paying attention to all this.

    I had a sneaky peek at your website DT, it all looks lovely and are pieces that will really last, so a good investment.
    I think the importance of accessories can't be underestimated either. A nice chunky necklace or scarf can totally transform a t-shirt and make a simple outfit feel more finished. Good for you!

    Hope all will be well with the tests - but :T for the cervix of a 16 year old - especially after 2 sets of twins!!!

    I wish I could do that accessorizing lark. I have beautiful scarves etc. but they never look right. I always look like I'm just dressing up.

    I always feel as if I look like a refugee from the Guides (obviously I'm talking about before they wore polo shirts and the like) when I put a scarf on. I think its the way I walk, many years ago when I was a size 12 and my sister was a 10, we independently went into town and came back with the same dress. Guess who looked better in it?
    There'll be no stopping you soon. You'll become a 'lady who lunches' and won't even hang out the washing unless you are co-ordinated.:rotfl:
