Laura - That's so fab!!! Well done on how far you've come. You are amazing!

Choccy - hope they come soon, my Hermes delivery lady has asked for a parking spce outside my house. I must be shopping too much.

I think I have bought everything I need for AW10, so anything else will be wants so I'm trying to be good.

I'm going to finish my green cardigan today, do some scrapbooking, and then start on making a skirt. Hopefully.

Chosen outfit is old bootleg jeans, cream lace front shirt, skull print scarf - all NL with pink striped Paul Smith socks (my mum buys me something designer most Christmas!) I'm not wearing any jewellery except for wedding/engagement rings and Links watch. I can't knit in bracelets/bangles.

Today.
Dark grey 3 Button sack suit in wool
Yellow/cream spread collar shirt
Burgundy tie with dark red, orange,tangerine and gold stripe (the stripes in that order get smaller as you go up so the dark red, orange,tangerine and yellow/cream) all together end up the same size as the burgundy stripe), plain white pocket square.
Black brogues.
Red and gold braces.
Steel banded watch with rose pink face.


Got stuck in a jam on the way to work today and took 40 minutes to get 2 miles.

Oh that's lovely. You really do well on ebay.

Caroline, you're so organised! Can't believe you've bought absolutely everything you need.

I am so tired today I can barely move. Why does going on holiday always mean running round like a loon for the week preceeding it? Outfit is one I've worn many times before:

Black leggings - DP
Navy horse print tunic - Primark
Black cardi - Hawkshead
Navy suede pumps - DP
Cream pashmina thing - ancient
Black plastic heart shaped earrings and ring - New Look

I think it's so the holiday seems even more relaxing, alex, as it's such a contrast from all the rushing around!

Douglas, I'm struggling to imagine this (:p) we really do need visuals of you suited and booted.

I'm currently in my comfies but now that all the washing has dried I should have easy pickings :rotfl:

I like the sound of the tie, and also the braces!!

I've found a few pictures of Douglas on MSE! He's a very athletic-looking guy, bet he looks fab all suited and booted.

I'm having another constructive morning, half an hour of yoga, eBay parcel wrapped, seventy photographs and a chat with Helga. My curtains are sewn together, they just need hemming and edging.

Today's outfit:

Purple 1970's daisy-print cotton sundress (Vintage shop £5)
1980's 5" wide leather waist belt with statement buckle (Clothes Show vintage section £2)
Black high heeled brogues (BHF £1.95)
Black ankle socks (Pinched from Jon's drawer)
Usual ethnic silver bangles, rings and earrings

Off to write some flowery descriptions of weird ladies' trousers....

I've bought one pair of jeans (reduced), a raincoat, black boots (reduced), two pairs of leggings, one dress, one blouse (reduced), one tunic and three skirts (two were from ebay for a pennies). Cost about £200 in total which I don't think is too bad, considering that's smart and casual and includes footwear and outwear.

I've spent about £40 on wool to knit myself some things, (two cardis, hat and scarf) My mum bought me some brown boots for my birthday (next month but I am allowed to wear them now, LOL).

Everything else will come from existing wardrobe, sale items, ebay/chazza or be handmade. Do you reckon I can do it?

Ooh, do share your findings!

I'm always looking at vintage eBay - who knows if I've looked at your listings?!
