Things can only get better

It's certainly another hot one in our neck of the woods today, @Sun_Addict. I've been out in the garden this morning already. I had a cold bath, threw on some cool clothes then sat outside in the shade to do my make-up. Best part of the day!
Re summer skirts, do you mean the longer, cotton crinkley ones which can just be twisted up in a suitcase & are instantly wearable? The only place I've seen that kind of thing recently is in my favourite big garden centre, which has quite a few clothes. It's the Bl*e Diam*nd one, but I think you don't drive so not a lot of use as a suggestion if you are on the other side of the county, which I think you may be.

Have you tried H&M, SA? They might have that type of skirt.

What is going on with the length of stuff in M&S? The jeans are really long now too, I’m 5”5 and have to buy the short length so they’re not dragging on the ground, what are smaller people meant to do?!

Cloudy & windy here!
Not cold though!

@foxgloves our local independent garden centre sells clothes but they are those massive one size fits all garments that would swallow me whole 🤣

@sashybo I tried there yesterday with no luck. Re M&S I’m only 5’1 but have normal length legs with a very short body. Their regular length used to be perfect but sounds like it won’t be now. I get my jeans from Tu normally as their regular length is just right for me. 

Funnily enough I saw the exact skirt I’m looking for in the window of Bon Marche, I never shop there as they don’t go down to my size. I checked on the off-chance but it was too big.  Anyway I’m still not old enough to shop there 🤣

I think it will be something I come across when I’m not looking. It won’t be the end of the world if I don’t get one.

Cotton Traders or Amazon may have crinkle skirts 😃

That’s Thursday and the working week done 🥳

Did a full day in the office today 😱😆

Had a look in Mr S at lunchtime in case they had the skirt I’m looking for - nope, but did buy some lightly dusted cod and a washing up bowl. Popped into BnM on the way back to the office and shock horror didn’t buy anything!

Nipped into L*dl on the way home for fresh stuff.

Tonight’s dinner was green lentil bolognese from freezer stocks with some out of date store cupboard spaghetti. It was a lot more delicious than it sounds. 

Step count is 26,000 today so the exercise box is well and truly ticked.

I need to book the taxi for tomorrow’s trip to dermatology with Mr SA.

Same with a skirt I’m looking for, tiered gypsy style, long but not maxi, crinkle type fabric to travel in. 

Have you looked at Women's & Men's Clothes, Shop Online Fashion | SHEIN UK?  They have a (seemingly) endless range of clothes....

Thought I saw a skirt in either Roman Originals or C*tton Traders. Hope you find one soon.

Yes but they are a last resort. I ordered a pair of sandals from them just to see what the quality was like. I would’ve paid half the price for the same quality in Primark.
