Apart from my much-loved Nicole Farhi linen shirt, all today's clothes are from well-known High Street stores.The skirt is an ancient linen Laura Ashley with a front side button fastening. It is several sizes too big, bought so large as it was the only way to get the length that I liked. Now I just find it plain annoying because even with a belt it swivels round and the shirt comes adrift like a messy schoolboy's. I would take it in but for the fact that it is very well made and fully lined.
Pink leather belt, navy shoes and tights are from Marks and Spencer and the purple cashmere cardigan is from John Lewis.
(Perhaps you can tell that I'm very fond of the colour purple!)
Hmmm, I so love pink and purple together like this. I can see why you are keeping the blouse as it is, because it is so very flattering. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday!
ReplyDeleteDear Patti, I've been trying to leave a comment on your handbag post without success. I favour the second choice, it is a simple, elegant shape with a decorative twist that makes you smile - can't be bad!
DeleteThese colours are beautiful on you. I also hesitate to alter something that is very well made. I wear oversized clothing too - it's annoying when things drift and get twisty. That said, you still look great, which is why we put up with it!
ReplyDeleteI've just been out to do my weekly food shop and bought a dress THAT FITS in the sales!
DeleteI've stumbled upon you via the Visible Monday thing and you make me proud of inhabiting the same country! Love your hair and your purple: together you look terrific.
ReplyDeleteHow DO you stay so slim?!
Hello Pussywillow, Glad that you've stumbled across me. Fear of pain keeps me thin. Once I've got rid of my gall stones I just may gorge on chocolate!
DeleteI'll post an example of the sort of things that I eat each day.
Beautiful colors! I see that you are a fan of hats, which is my favorite accessory.
ReplyDeleteDear Judith, I've been looking at your posts, admiring your vibrant and elegant self in hats and scarves, always smiling. I am saddened to learn of the loss of your husband and hope that the coming weekend will not be too hard. I shall be thinking of you.
DeleteVery stylish, and elegant too Rosemary. As for the shirt coming adrift, even us guys have that trouble, and it is one of my most annoying things. TTFN
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment, kind sir! (I think that a shirt adrift on a man can be quite appealing - little boy lost, and all that!)
