    I'm loving the summer clothes, but my boots went back on today as my toes were chilly!

    Will keep an eye on this thread and your blog for ideas:D

    As I am more of a winter clothes lover, struggle with what to wear now? I am looking a scruff lately:rotfl:

    re white skin...rejoice in it, it will look better in the future, english rose looks, vintage chic both work well with pale skin. As for flabby bits, I'm getting used to it **sigh** and tbh, tought. while I really miss short shorts, even with pale legs, I have to live, so I'll keep gardening in my shorts and maxis, and white linen trouser my way through most of the rest I suppose.

    I struggle in summer with what to wear, as my legs are whiter than white, my arms are a bit chunky (working on it, should improve with weight loss) and yea bit tricky, when you don't want to expose too much embarrassing white flesh!

    I bet you don't have flabby arms!!

    Oh dear. Amber (cat) brought in a poor tiny mouse. Managed to catch it and release it into the crazy neighbours garden what a mission!

    haha they are chunky! Quite wide.

    Will keep clicking to see peoples home pages as I am new to reading peoples blogs. :o

    Oh I did wear a dress with some black leggings to my knees around the shops and along the seafront last weekend. And I had so many people looking at me (for the wrong reasons) as I am just so luminous white!:eek: Going to try a little fake tan on them.

    the problem might be the colours you are wearing with your skin tone? soft shades glare less with luminous white for subtlety...

    I'm lilly white too and have tried fake tan. I de-fuzz and exfoliate and moisturise but I still look like streaky bacon!
