Continuing from the posts about unworn clothes in the wardrobe, saved for “best” - who’s up for “Dress up Tuesday” ?
If so, what are you going to wear? 👗 👑 💄💃👔👠👠👜

NYDJ jeans, blue & white Boden top, White Company slippers diamond stud earrings (always), Rolex and antique gold bracelet.

(I am on granny duty for an eight year old with chicken pox and a three year old imp!)

Oooooo love this thread .*Dressed up Tuesday*.

Ok..... in reality i am hiding away with Covid but in my imagination I have been invited to a fabulous lunch in Monte Carlo. I am wearing a zebra print chiffon dress, buttoned down the front with short sleeves and a red collar, my designer handbag and shoes are black with a splash of red. Ohhhhh la la 🇫🇷
👠 👜 💃

You have inspired me, everyone. I have just bought a new dress and will wear it this evening for dinner at my favourite Italian.
It's the first garment I have bought this summer - you are such temptresses.

Zebra print linen skirt, midi length, in shades of brown and ecru, and a butterscotch colour cotton long sleeved top.
A wide slave bangle (fake silver) and black suede sandals with studded silver tab on the front.
Would be perfect for a summer’s day if only …….
I wore it anyway to go out for lunch and found I was paddling over puddles going back to my car.

Hmm. Well I was dressed up in a different way! The clouds came over when I went downstairs for the bus to call and have a cuppa with my stepfather. I was wearing a thin summer jumper with a pair of ankle grazer trousers, my brogues (no socks) and a denim jacket. Waiting with me at the bus stop were 2 ladies, early 60’s I’d say, each wearing a summer dress, sandals and not a jacket between them. I looked dressed for a totally different season....

That’s how I felt this morning when the postman knocked with a tiny package that would have easily gone through the letter box. 😂

I now have a cardie on, I'm freezing! Despite the sun shining, there is a cold wind blowing. Brrr!

Nothing I am wearing was full price, by the way. wink

I completely forgot, so went out in my usual trousers and top outfit but with a warm blue cardigan as it was chilly .
Drove quite a long way to meet my son for coffee. Well worth it.

Rosesandlilac it was Foxy who suggested Dress up Tuesday as a ‘humorous’ response to another thread.
I’m off to feed DGS1’s fish, so I’ll be wearing navy trousers, a navy silk shirt, sapphire earrings, ring and my Omega. I’ll finish it off with Pavers gold slip-ons and give my Mulberry bag a look out. I should really wash my car to complete the look, but can’t be bothered.

Am I allowed in? Have been mucking out the cellar and am wearing dust and cobweb smeared dungarees teamed with an old green jumper but have made an effort with my hair and have balanced my tiara on top of it plus a pair of sparkly earrings.Am not saying they’re real diamonds but they could be as DP bought them last Christmas from Primark. crown

Black shirt, trousers and heels finished with sugar pink jacket atop. Feel like a million dollars and....the lunch was wonderful too. Some I win.......

Most of the time I'm wearing tracksuit bottoms and a sweatshirt! 🤣

Do I have until next Tuesday to get over the fact that I’ve just eaten a large bowl of risotto which has destroyed any illusions I might have that my clothes make me look as stylish as Joanna Lumley? 🤔😩

Heres to hoping the weather comes good for us all next Tuesday! After going 'naked' for decades I intent to top off my Dress Up Tuesdays with nail polish and not the subtle kind either.

Well I did wear my best Jaeger raincoat when I picked the dog up this afternoon, but it was absolutely throwing it down so I doubt anybody noticed. It didn’t leak though, which was a bonus.
