Antone else think Douglas should start blogging? He's got cool ecclectic taste and clearly takes great pride in dressing. Go for it, Doug!

No snow here but very cold. Don't know whether I can stand queuing outside for a jumble sale later, rum and coke by an open fire sounds much more enticing.

Today's outfit:
1960's crimplene mini dress
Teal opaques
Edwardian leather lace-up knee high boots
Lots of silver bangles and rings
Green vintage hat
Ganesh pendant
1930's beaver lamb coat
(All second-hand or presents)

I'll second that! It would be a really interesting read.

Years ago I was in a really deprived area of Glasgow to send some parcels from the local sub post office which I pass on my way home and I noticed the postmaster had a little Ganesh over his counter (in a sort of oblong paperweight). I said nice Ganesh, his smile lit up, I think no one had ever done more than the barest minimum of civility to him in there as we chatted the postman came to take away the mail and it turned out he was into yoga and meditation. We all ended up drinking chai in the back shop together.

This memory was triggered by Goanmad's pendandt.

We've got a huge Indian population in my home town and it's a great ice breaker if I'm wearing Indian jewellery or Jon's got one of his Hindi tee shirts on.
Ganesh is my favourite as he's a little mischief maker.

Ooh that's pretty! They did have some nice angora snowflake dresses but came up quite large when tried on, got to return the oh's shirt so gonna try again...

Today black leggings, and again my black Russian doll dress, navy red herring mac and purple gloves and scarf. Was very naughty and bought denim bootcut jeans for £10 and a cerise tee with bow detail for £6 from new look, and accidentally a Navy blue sparkle thread snood for £4 from primark, which I thought was a scarf...
