Haha, Lost your outfit made me giggle as well - such detail! .

Good I'm glad! I know my lurking friend gets a kick out of how clothes make us feel, how we dress the inner girl as well as the outer woman.

Speaking of which, we had a man at the start of the thread....where did he go?

lir - love the sound of your outfit, very Fame!

Caroline - hope there's some good news soon.

pf (and others visiting Liverpool) - there's a fab allsorts shop up at the top end of town by the bombed out church called 69a. Sells everything vintage and antique, including some clothing and accessories. And a little way down that road (is it Renshaw St? I am terrible with road names - the one that runs along to Lewis's and Lime St station) is Grand Central, the Gaudi-esque looking building which has been taken over by all the brilliant little shops that got booted out of Quiggins when they redeveloped the building (booo!! still cross about this). Lots of vintage stuff in there and some shops that sell really cheap and quirky jewellery and that sort of thing. Well worth a look and don't be put off by all the goths loitering outside, it's the sort of place that welcomes everyone

Despite the general gloom of yesterday's blog post, I have remembered there is something to look forward to today - I'm going to see Mark Kermode give a talk tonight. I do love him.

Today's outfit is:

Black ankle boots - Evans
Black jeans - Dotty P
Sepia spooky print tshirt - ditto
Black velvet blazer - not sure
Silver & quartz cocktail ring
Silver and black chandelier earrings

Hair all pinned up. And I'm currently wrapped up in a large grey cableknit scarf and grey Fairisle armwarmers as it's so cold! Brrrrrrrrrr.

Oh my goodness so much to catch up on Im not even going to try! Hello to any newbies

The sun is shining here but its still freezing luckily the roads are ok. Had a lovely 'net free night last night most unlike me lol

Anyway today outfit is a bit boring realise I need to buy some more basics to go with things and maybe some more colourful stuff.

denim tulip shape skirt: Oasis via ebay
long sleeve white cotton t shirt ?
short sleeve v neck t shirt with slightly puffed sleeves again dunno?>
black leggings
grey knee length socks
brown biker boots
small wooden disc earrings
long silver necklace with amber stones
big stack of wooden bangles (had to take these off as I cant type with them on lol)

had a sleeveless tunic jumper on this morning and different necklace but took them off when I came in as they didnt feel right...actually my whole outfit doesnt feel right feels too "normal" lol need something colourful...anyway nice and comfy getting Dd at 12 then lunch and Tumble tots class- exciting stuff eh?


Been trying to take a pic in my mirror to upload onto the blog but its not happening anyone any tips???

Hope you all are well x

retro- is it taking the pic your having a problem with? mirrors are near impossible for me! I find a flat surface to balance my camera on instead (kitchen worktop is perfect height!)

right,
off to the local garden centre on a mission for a birthday card (so much cheaper than the card shops here) and then to Tesco to replace the lunch my Dad ate as part of his dinner last night

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! The shoes have arrived!!!!

ETA - I'm no help with photos I'm afraid. On the verge of binning my irritating camera this morning!

Just editing my blog, left it last night without fixing the images... Should I go bluewater by myself? Never been by myself!

retro_bluebell

Daisy yes I cant seem to get the angle right....plus it doesnt help that I have no idea how to work the camera I know its got a self timer thing on it but I dont know how to get it on! Will have to ask Oh later as hes the techy (thank god i live with a systems analyst otherwise I would never get on the net!) in this house- havent told him Im doing the blog yet cos he will give me that look when I say I want to take pics of my clothes every day- a look that says I love you but you are mental! lol

Can you find your way in and back out again? If so then yes go but if you are anything like me you need someone to come with you- Im not allowed at the Metro Centre by myself as I have such a bad sense of direction I end up walking round and round the same mall:o:rotfl:
