Not sure how I feel about the skirt. It highlights lumps and bumps, and is two sizes bigger than I used to wear at this weight, to accomodate my re-feeding tum,
but its comfy and the jumper hides the worst of it

Lumps and bumps? DB, you don't have any...you look much better, more beautiful, but you have not yet got lumps and bumps, lots of potential before that is a problem! Tut tut.


Its possible to get into a weird dreamy state photocopying when you get into a rhythm. And its a nice warm job!

I prefer the first of the two ebay ones over the one shoulder one! But I''ve never rly liked one-shouldered items!

Sarah, duly commented

Back at work today, accounts to do for last month.

Wearing a bow tie to work for the fist time ever, only had positive comments.
Dark navy chinos
Mid blue button down collar oxford shirt.
Dark olive green and brown Bow tie.
Herringbone tweed jacket.

I sort of went for this look, but my jacket has a browner background and the tie is the same colours but a smaller pattern and I tie a smaller knot; I also forgot the pocket square.

Ancient skinny jeans - DP
Equally ancient Dunlop Green Flash - Schuh

It's a shame the men aren't being made to wear it too. They get away with a black tuxedo, which is odd as black is considered bad luck to wear to a wedding in Thailand.

Thanks for the ideas ladies! At least I have a few months to find something

They could all have a pink Cummerbund and bow-tie? Or at least pink miniature carnations as buttonholes?
I think you should at least wind up your OH with this suggestion.

Morning all!

Thanks for the well-wishes, Stephen's temperature is still high, he's had blood tests this morning but seems a lot more his old self.

Name My Blog - as a rule the mere mention of weddings bore the pants off me, I can't bear them but I'm rather envious of a pink themed Thai wedding. What's the humidity like ? If it's anything like India is at that time of year then you need as loose and floaty as you can get.

Today's outfit:
Vintage cord maxi skirt (courtesy of someone rather lovely)
Lime green 1960's lace blouse (eBay)
Silver rings and bangles (India)
Hair in a side bun with a fake flower clipped in.

Douglas - liking the outfit. Is Brandon Flowers the reason for the renewed interest in bow ties? I've sold 3 on eBay in the last couple of days.

Glad Stephen is on the mend

Just being really nosy here Vix but what did Pearl Lowe buy from you?
