The perfect........

Yep,navy and/or smart grey tousers that are not the sort of thing my mum would have worn and the same Clarke ankle boots I have worn for the last 5 years. They are like Trigger's broom (in Only Fools and Horses) in that they have been mended so often there is not much of the original left. I thought they had something similar this year - they didn't!! I have 6 other pairs of ankle boots but they are not quite right and largely remain unworn.

That is it - the neglected items sitting in the wardrobe looking out accusingly. Question, should you throw them out or hang on, on the basis they are better than nothing?

If you find 'the perfect', buy two! I had perfect lined winter trousers, grey, wool mix - from M&S believe it or not. I also had a matching bomber jacket. But the trousers wore out and the jacket didn't. Nothing else matched the jacket.

Thing is, you don't necessarily know straight away that they are perfect and then it's too late!!

I know what you mean. I find for my size and height ( 5ft size 12) Wallis trousers are perfect. They fit on the waist where they should, fit under the bum instead of that 'baggy' thing. So I bought 3 pairs of the same trouser.
This might seem silly but I know my style ( narrow straight leg navy) so I know they will last me for a long time.

Yes, buying a couple of pairs makes sense if you really like them.
I would like a Winter dress to wear with boots, but not too warm and not with a high neck, so shall be on the look out.

Lemon look at Boden, they have a sale on at the moment I have just bought 2 "winter dresses" no high necks, lots of really pretty prints and styles.

I never look for the perfect in anything, partly because I do not think it exists, but I also think that if you are so narrowly focused on finding 'perfect' you miss all the other things out there that might be even better.

I found that Per Una jeans, Roma fit, were just perfect on me. But they've changed their jeans to a thin, scraggy, lycra filled fabric and they look awful now. So the search is back on......

Strangely enough it is only now when everything seems to be falling apart and quite frankly I could do with a complete overhaul from top to bottom in clothes,hair and facials............yet I seem to have nailed "my style" though it would come at a time when really ........is it worth while bothering??
You bet I will.............I am made that way!

Whilst I think if you do find that garment or whatever in the best fit and right colour by all means stock up........perfection may never come again!
