    Morning all

    Went out shopping with DS's yesterday then took some jeans back to RI, I am still to find a 'nice' pair of jeans, am after some straight leg ones but they seem to be evading me at the minute

    Outfit was
    Black straight leg jersey trousers - George
    Brown top with leather patch shoulders - Zara
    Brown flat boots with fur trim - OH calls them my Granny Boots -TK Maxx

    Nothing planned for today as yet, though DS2 got Spongebob monopoly - we currently have a game going that was started the day after boxing day!!!!!! so I'll be playing that at some point today

    Morning, Lovelies!

    Up at 5am .... blinking jet lag! The house ain't ever been so tidy, even my vintage tea towel stash have been ironed.

    It's vile, misty, damp, dank weather outside. A day of DIY and revamping planned after we've been party food shopping - curtailed yesterday due to Jon having a touch of man flu.

    Currently wearing:
    Dollyrockers maxi dress
    Purple opaques
    Black platform peep toe shoes
    Heaps of silver bangles, rings and enormous earrings
    Leather waist belt
    Black kohl, bright pink lippie, white jasmine perfume.

    (All vintage or bought in India)

    Have a lovely thursday.

    Photogenic
    Today I am dressed as a jaikey (Vagrant or tramp in Glaswegian), because somone left a bare metal clip on the edge of their desk and I was dropping of documents.

    So a pair of black cargo pants now have a rip you can put your hand into on one leg. GRRRR.

    Along with the ripped trousers I have on a dark brown shadow stripe millitary style shirt, evisu trainers, cream zip neck fleece and dayglo checked green socks.

    I was offered safety pins by the security guy in work but refused as my punk days were over 30 years ago.

    Hi all :)
    I did read the posts yesterday and forgot to add my own! Silly Lesley.

    today's outfit is lazy and comfy for working til 8.
    jeans
    brown short sleeve t shirt
    long blue cardigan
    converse.

    We have no water, and haven't since yesterday so have a pile of washing I can't do, house cleaning I can't do, and hair washing I can't do. Feel very dirty even though I've had water in a bucket to wash briefly in. Not the same as a shower though :(
    carpe diem :cool:
