Feeling much better today!
3/2 grey sack suit (natural shoulder no or minimal padding no darts, unpleated trousers)

Burgundy cap toe shoes
Red and grey panel socks
Blue button down shirt with sleeves rolled up so I look busy*
Navy and gold striped tie



*Also because this morning I noticed a label on the sleeve just above the cuff when I took my jacket off. So I tried to remove it and tore the sleeve. Grrrrrrr!

Yes I can probably fix it, if I can't it's no great loss it's one my work supplied for front of house duties. It took about ten washes to get it soft though - rough cotton.

Hi,

Thought I'd share a fashion discount I got recently.

Debenhams have a good offer through Vouchercloud app. Save 10% (one time use I think) when you show Vouchercloud on your iPhone.

Pretty good - I saved £20 on a bunch of clothes.

Good luck!

Hope everyone is feeling happy and Friday-ish today

I'm in a dotty mood:

Jeans - DP
Cowboy boots - Evans
White vest top with big black polka dots - H&M
Cream jumper with big black and blue polka dots - also H&M
Navy headscarf with white polka dots (tied in a bow) - Primark

Plus grey fingerless gloves (not sure) and a chunky grey scarf with pockets (Next clearance) because it's really not warm.

Alexnikov are you being dotty for Children in Need today?

piratefairy

i had totally not he\ard anything about children in need this year, until yesterday..usually there is loads in the supermarkets etc but this year i haven't noticed anythign!!

todays outfit:
primark mushroom coloured dress with zebras printed on it
primark brown tweed long waistcoat
purple velvet bow heels, new look
brown fur coat, vintage shop
duck print scarf, topshop

Alexnikov

Ooh no, I hadn't even thought of that. I just like this jumper, couldn't find another vaguely white vest to go under it and have dirty hair so needed the headscarf!!

(don't actually choose to support Children In Need - my money allocated in my budget to charities goes elsewhere)

I agree, I have loooked into doing some fundraising in guides towards it, but the girls are never that enthusiastic, as they always do something at school, same as comic relief, so we are doing carol singing in aid of make a wish this year, as well as doing the make a wish challenge badge which is open to guides groups etc.. as this term's fundraising..
and personally, i tend to favour supporting the more local charities..
