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? 👗 👑 💄💃👔👠👠👜

I failed him, there were no treats in my pocket!

He did when we got home and he realised it was dinner time. I’m forgiven now.

Today I went to the Grayson Perry exhibition in Edinburgh in my chicken print shirtwaister dress, lime green blazer and a straw sunhat, not to to mention the apricots footless tights. I had a fabulous time, the exhibition is mind blowing and I felt great.
Unusually, I wasn’t the most eccentrically dressed (kudos to the Freda Carlo skirts)

Walking trousers, boots and fleece (and usually a waterproof).

Gym leggings, Hush T shirt (been to the gym and now just finished the ironing)

We are going out to dinner this evening (local steak house, no steak for me though). I will wear best designer jeans, The White Company white linen shirt and grey cashmere poncho, with white Vega trainers. As always Rolex, diamond studs and vintage bracelet, I might even go all out and wear wedding ring and engagement ring 😱

I am in the process of sorting out my wardrobes (yet again) and I am being ruthless, disposing of anything that is slightly worn or just fed up with in order to clear the way to wearing my decent clothes everyday as opposed to the occasional slob days no more saving for best.

It is dress up Saturday for me - party time!!

So decisions. It can’t be the planned dress as I have acquired huge horsefly bites on my leg. So I think it will have to be a floaty flowered pinky silk top with pink trousers - bites suitably covered🎉🍾🍸🍹🎂🥗 oh and jewellery - I shall wear my pink and white diamond inherited earrings. Only taken out for “best”.

Off I go 😄😄😄
