Hello All!

Another Monday morning!! (just about morning anyway)

Starting to feel I'm no longer dressing for Summer these days which is a bit :cry: for early August. Back to school retailing is well underway in the shops; anyone spotted the first signs of Christmas yet??

Putting layers with my summery tops is proving the answer, with my newly slimmed down wardrobe. Today is;

White lycra vest M&S £7 for 2 (recommend, nice sleek fit under layers)
Turquoise linen top (Tu at Sainsbury's £12,)
Topshop long fine knit white cardi as yesterday
faded jeans
Socks (hate them but...)
Blue Rohde clogs ...not feeling summery enough for sandals today.

Let us all know how you are dressing for these in-between season type days!!

    Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")
    Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")

    Yup, Christmas cards and 2010 calendars went on sale in the shop at work in July :eek:

    Grey cardi with detailing by the buttons - Monsoon £20
    Black tunic top - Dotty P's, I think £12ish a few years ago and I've worn it to death since then!
    Black cords - Evans, can't remember the price
    Irregular Choice pumps - very cheering on such a grey day :D

    Hello all!

    I'm feeling lousy today, missed yoga and currently OD-ing on Beechams Flu Plus. Having an early night last night was a bad idea as my back plays up if I spend more than 6 hours lying down so I've been up and about since 3am, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    I've got so much on this week what with BF's birthday on wednesday, lots of eBay stuff to list and wrap and the Big Chill from Thursday through until monday I can do without illness.:mad:

    Anyway, I'm defo dressed down today:

    Purple silk hareems (70p Indian street market)
    Purple ribbed TopShop long vest (about 4 years old)
    Vintage grey Led Zeppelin teeshirt (jumble sale 10p)
    Usual Indian silver bangles and rings
    Huge multi-coloured chandelier earrings (Ex-Accessorize but a pal bought them for me from a car boot sale)
    Black pointy toe hand-knitted yak wool socks (£1 Tibetan refugee settlement in Karnataka)

    Hope you're all having a better day. xx

    Hope you feel better soon goanmad!

    My last day off today... boo! Never mind. Wnet round to see OH's dad last night and OH's stepmum had been given a large box of really good quality large-size clothes so she invited me to dig in. And I did....

    Today's outfit is:
    White cotton t-shirt with Mickey Mouse on the front (Mum brought it back from America for me)
    Black cotton trousers (Ambrose Wilson)
    Green, white and brown checked shirt (this was part of the haul of clothes I got last night. Its from a shop called Yours - which is love - and even better it was free!!!)
    White, pink and black polka dot socks (Primark)

    Have a good day everyone!! xxx
