Urgh, the dress I wanted to wear to day doesn't fit I got stuck in it and had a mad panic attack...alone in the house, thinking how grateful I was it wasn't a Monday, when I might be alone all week stuck with a dress half way on and half way off!

Thankfully it eased of when my panic started to subside.. thing invariably seem to tighten when you panic!

Oh, Lost, you poor thing! I hate being trapped in stuff (usually rings and bangles in my case).

What a strange, gloomy day it is. I've been wandering around the charity shops of a small town local to us this morning as Jon had popped to the garage there to see how our campervan restoration is going. I haven't seen this beaut in the flesh yet and can't wait.

Today's outfit:

Psychedelic corded cotton maxi skirt (Vintage Fair)
TopShop long black ribbed vest (jumble sale)
Kate Moss waistcoat (TopShop)
Brown suede platform clogs (A local boutique)
Silver rings and bangles (India, Mum and Car boot) plus a big green faceted bangle (Scope)
Green chandelier earrings (Scope)
1920's green tapestry bag with bakelite handle (Found in parents' boxroom)

Shall continue with my curtain making this afternoon in front of the footie after I've wrapped a heap of eBay parcels.

Catch you later!

Oh lost, that happened to me in a changing room last week. I thought I'd have to suffer the shame of getting a shop assistant to pull me out of it but I calmed down and then it came off!

I have the concentration span of a toddler today. Struggling so much to make myself do anything

Have updated the you-know-what. No pics of me from the last couple of days as I look/feel so grotty.

Got some pics from the Full Circle A/W collection. Have never bought their stuff - thought it was urban clubwear type of stuff - but it actually looks really nice and pretty wearable.

Sarah I love the sequinned jacket...I'm a little envious of it!

Anyone seen the very simple maxi dresses at tesco? Saw the online (among nicer clothes but I WILL NOT go tesco boutique, and I just want something simple to wear around the house) ...are they ok, the jersey maxis?

Alexnikov

I'm popping to Tesco after work so will have a look and see if they have them.

Did you solve the shoe problem? If not, I have a code for 10% off Office stuff today and their own brand espadrilles are really reasonable

I haven't solved the shoe issue, but I've decided to cobble through in boots, as DH pointed out their is oing to be a lot of DIY and I should be wearing my steel toe boots for that.

Thank you Alex :kisses3:

Hi all. I haven't been about much the last few days as I've had a bad back but I'm OK now.
I sent a letter to Daisy the other day - it's so quiet on here without her!

Sarah, that's fantastic about the fashion show and glad you're feeling better today.

PF, I wish you weren't such a tease with your shoes. Your blog pictures always stop short of your feet - it's so annoying!


I've just had a maxi dress delivered from ebay. It's a bit see through but oh so easy to wear. I'm definitely looking for more.

Ooh, I had a note from Daisy today. She's missing the chat, and loved meeting Vicki (vicki she said you are even lovelier in person, which is hard to imagine...you are lovely enough in text!)

I've go a letter half written to her....

piratefairy
