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? 👗 👑 💄💃👔👠👠👜

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 😄😄😄

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.

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

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)

Well if Grayson Perry was anywhere near, you wouldn’t be! 🤣🤣
I think you win todays prize by the way! 🏅

Is he still speaking to you?

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

I expect the dog appreciated you dressing up for him 😀

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

Nicksmrs46 Tue 08-Aug-23 22:55:41

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.

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.

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.

As long as you don’t wash the car IN the navy silk shirt, sapphire earrings etc. 😂😂

Seasalt jacket, sale dress from Tu, dangly black and silver earrings, black onyx bracelet, black, low wedge sandals from Flexx. I was out this morning!!

Taken by DH in his messy study!

I am ashamed ☹
I really must buck up!

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

Oh, thank goodness!

I did put my diamond earrings in before I vacuumed!

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? 🤔😩

08 / 08: Tuesday. With all the sales at Zara & Mango, and our pending trip to France and Northern Spain, I have encountered some fabulous buys ..

I love trousers and jumpsuits ..

Kim19 Tue 08-Aug-23 17:35:07

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.......

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
