    Hello everyone never seen this thread before. I've enjoyed reading about your outfits! I'm still in what I was wearing to do some gardening earlier so I won't bother posting it!
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

  • Ooh just found this thread, hope it's okay to join in?:)
    Am bargain hunter but have weakness for clothes! Recent sort of bargain was an Oasis purple jumper dress with silk cap sleeves and scoop neck, reduced to £30 from £50, not a bargain as such but I fell in love with it!
    Today wore new black jumper dress with White mohair Russian doll print on front, was £16 from peacocks Last week and very cosy! Wore it with black leggings and favourite flat black leather look boots from Tesco :)
    I love food, hate waste and have a penchant for sparkly things ::D

    Trying to find a work life balance...:rotfl:
  • Love the sound of that dress Kitten, always hearing good things about Peacocks, must make more of an effort to have a look round.

    It is pouring down here today and I'm freezing because I got wet between home and car, and car and work. Wearing:

    - Black top - v old, H&M
    - Purple batwing jumper - H&M sale, £5 reduced from £19.99 - I know this because I only just took the tag off even though I've had it since January :o
    - Grey and black striped wool skirt - Oasis sale
    - Black tights - ?
    - Black flat knee boots - Faith
    - About to put on my chunky black cardi (George) over the top to warm up!

    - Accessorizing with my glasses as I suspect I miught have conjunctivitis and don't want to put my lenses in.
    Aren't I delicious? :(

    what would you call something that has been bought to be personalised - say I bought a dress and added a ribbon to it and sold it it's not handmade but what? Thanks in advance to those who know. :)

    Customised? Refashioned? Upcycled? Any of those help?
