What clothing makes you feel a *Million Dollars* ???

There's still time Fanny.

To be honest Serendipity, I don’t think that I have had a Million Dollar Moment!

Blossoming

Yammy

I wouldn't dare to bare like Blossoming something might fall where it shouldn't but she really is one claassy lady.

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

I do mean Serendipity sorry, I was thinking of your Red coat I once had a beautiful one and someone at work made a remark about it and I never wore it again. I was silly but somehow managed with the red shoes.
I still have a pair but these days they are Carvela comfort...pity really I think I should still try and pull a heeled pair off.

Since I had the time during the covid lockdowns I really went through my clothes and decided not only to reduce how many I had but only buy/wear the things I felt really good in. It's worked. I feel good in nearly every thing now and I take better care of everything plus there have been no impulse buys this summer, win win.

FABULOUS posts..
Just fabulous ? ? ?.

We've had our Million Dollar moment and how brilliant is it to look back and remember..... it doesnt matter what the heck it is as long as we feel THE BEES KNEES in it ( love that expression hahaha)

Fanny. Thanks. Not to worry. I was gorgeous once!

Beautiful Serendipity. It's many years since I felt a million dollars. I am a physical wreck.

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.

Ohhhhhh why the heck not .... yeahhhh.

Well I am just a Yorkshire lass and that was my Million Dollar moment....

Go on Big Bertha1 do it .... x

Oh Kate

Lovely pics, serendipity. I couldn't wear a dress like that.

But what I found myself doing early this morning is mentally envisaging the outfit that will could make me feel as energetic as I used to be. I've aquired the skirt, made of cotton and silk. Just have to find the perfect top now.

It's going to be my "serenity" outfit. Got the idea from that cult series, Firefly, where the young female mechanic finds her dream dress that everyone else – more stylish and who doesn't spend their time in engine-suitable clothes – thinks is awful.

Beautiful Serendipity. It's many years since I felt a million dollars. I am a physical wreck.

*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… ?

Thank you. Very interesting. It is such an absurd expression. It came up in an advanced English/Italian translation with my advanced students. They were totally flummoxed and I was unable to supply any explanation.

My explanation of its origins isn’t mentioned (I still think I’m right though! )
It used to mean something very small and insignificant, but it’s meaning changed in the 1920’s

Sorry Serendipity - you look beautiful as ever! ?

I love that saying * the bees knees*

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!
