Morning All!
Feeling much more like me today! Thanks for all your lovely messages wishing me well. What a supportive group we are.
My friend has the day off work today so it's a drive to a random town to check out the charity shops and have lunch in Wetherspoons (cheap, cheerful and money saving - Martin would be proud).
French Connection grey empire-line tunic with ethnic embroidery (£1.74 Hospice shop)
TopShop Baxter dark grey skinny jeans (£1 car boot - at least 2yrs ago)
Grey patent knee high boots with silver platform and heel (River Island sale in Jan '09 for £20)
Usual Indian tribal bangles and rings
Silver hoop earrings with turquoise stones (Indian market 50p)
Silver necklace in the shape of intertwined filigree wings (Car boot £1)
Vintage 50's large gold framed black cotton bag wih yellow roses (20p car boot)
My hair is straight today - a rare occurrence as it's usually a wavy nest. Wonder how many people will tell me that I look like a 1960's Cher :rolleyes: !
Have a lovely tuesday and don't get too wet xx

Morning all!
Hi and welcome tangledmemories!
goanmad, glad you're feeling better and haven't succumbed to the swine flu lurgy!
Pirate....your oufit sounds lovely and cheery for such a dull day!
Going to wear the Oasis cream jeans today (Cheshire Oaks bargain ,only a few quid) with a Coast teal silk jersey wrap top. (Bought full price £65for a 'do', last minute panic buy about 5 years ago and never worn since as don't really have anything to wear it with. Not sure if the cream coloured jeans are right either........ need to have a think about it as it's a very comfortable flattering top and deserves to see the light of day!!)
Got some River Island cream and black snakeskin shoes with a heel to wear with them when I head off out. (£35 ages ago)
Have a good day all.
Would be great to have some new posters to join us today.....everyone's welcome to tag a post on!!

Well, can I join in? Maybe I can add something from a Boy Perspective (feel free to tell me to sling it if this is supposed to be girls only!)
Today's 'ensemble'...
Dark khaki Banana Republic linen trousers, £19.99 in the sale
Yellow Adidas trainers, £25 in the Office sale
Navy blue fitted Gap t-shirt, about £10 with the 30% off thing they did a couple of months ago (and it's starting to twist already, damn it)
Plus a blob of Fudge Shaper to keep the 'do nice 'n' vertical (£15 but it lasts for months) and a squirt of Viktor & Rolf Antidote to keep me smelling sophisticated on the Tube (don't ask)..."I'm not a one-trick pony. I'm not a ten-trick pony. I'm a whole field of ponies - and they're all literally running towards this job."
An utter berk, 2010.0 -

White long line ribbed vest top - Dotty P's (probably one of those 3 for £12 deals)
Blue, yellow and white checked shirt open over the top - Dotty P's again (£20ish)
Dark jeans - Evans (£18)
Black Vans with pink hippos on - Schuh (haven't the foggiest what they cost)
And all accessorised up with a long blue and green beaded necklace, my chunky green watch and hair up in a messy bun.0 -
