No photo but I have a beautiful raspberry cashmere jumper, it is almost weightless and just makes any outfit look special. I want to wear it in my coffin!

Slightly confused - in one picture you are dark and in the other you are blonde. Or is it just me. Regardless, you look stunning !

Not blonde I can assure you haha. I once dyed my hair blonde when I was about 15 and my mum went doo-lally ooooooops.....

I have dark hair smile

I haven’t bared anything Yammy, did you mean Serendipity?

Fabulous Serendipity .
I think my finest moment was as Mother of the Bride 14 years ago. My dress and jacket felt lovely - the sandals matched but crippled me. I never wore them again!

A formal night on a cruise Serendipity ?
A beautiful dress. Isn’t it lovely to see everyone dressed up on those nights?
It happens so rarely these days even in smart restaurants on land.

No photos of mine but I had a beautiful fitted long dress I wore to my husbands first staff dance in his first job,
It was a dusky pink with fitted bodice and bias cut skirt which swished as I moved.
I felt like the bees knees that night. And even better I’d bought it in a sale.

I love that saying * the bees knees*

Leather jacket, jeans and boots with a Russel and Bromley or all saints handbag

BigBertha1 Sun 21-Aug-22 07:18:43

Beautiful dress and what a lovely figure. It's a long time since I went anywhere glitzy but big birthday looming so I will spring for something then. Granddaughters wedding in 2024 so I had better smarten up for that. Might have a bit of 'work's done too.

dogsmother Sun 21-Aug-22 07:31:27

Beautiful, you really look lovely.
My special feeling was definitely tailored dresses and a leather biker jacket made for me whilst in Vietnam. Amazing, just amazing. I still wear them all as the tailoring was generous enough to allow a bit of growth too. Although it takes an occasion for the dresses to come out as I don’t really go anywhere nowadays that warrants one.

Joseanne Sun 21-Aug-22 07:45:30

That's really $$$$ and you look lovely.

My big opportunity came while staying with a French friend in Paris a few years back. Her daughter works for House of Carven and my friend lent me a dress of hers for the evening that Maude had designed for her. It was sapphire blue with large blue sequins which caught the light in different shades.

I've often wondered where the expression "BEES' KNEES" comes from. Anyone have any idea??

FannyCornforth Sun 21-Aug-22 10:10:24

Giulia, Bees - knees is a corruption of the word ‘business’.
As in, ‘looking the business’.

It’s probably got US origins, maybe a movie or song?
I shall investigate… ?
