You, dear readers, are a wonderful bunch of women. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my last post (Helga, I've definitely never been told I had nice eyelids before!). And a big thank you to all the new followers as well - it's very pleasing to think that you all like to read my wafflings. Unfortunately I can't delight you all with lots of smiling photos today as the camera was being hugely uncooperative and making everything in full length photos look weirdly the wrong colour. Will a couple of closeups do? I LOVE this vest top, I just love it. Yes, it looks like an 80's Laura Ashley sofa but I think that's part of the charm.
I appear to be turning into a real chintz fan in my old age. I never really quite got the point of florals - too fussy, too girly, often just far too pink. But now? I am smitten. You should have seen me when I spotted that vest top in store. I zoomed straight over and jumped up and down until I knocked the hanger off the rail and could run to the till with it. (I'm not a dwarf by the way, I'm just not tall enough to reach things on high rails!)
Some recent purchases include:
A brand new pretty frock (Purple @ Dorothy Perkins). Very short so I'll be wearing it with leggings but it's just so pretty! I love the pockets and the wrapover skirt.
Probably the pinkest thing I now own! It was an ebay bargain bought in combination with yet another pretty frock (not floral, so not featuring in this post)
And a couple of pretty dishes to stash jewellery and other assorted things in.
Oscar's tiger striped, not floral, but he's on some flowery bedding so I think it's fair to let him make an appearance today.
Some gorgeous pieces you have there! And a cute wee cat! :) x
ReplyDeleteI love all the prints, sooo pretty x
ReplyDeleteOh your puddy is so handsome he should so have babies with my white and ginger girls, if only they weren't "done"!
ReplyDeleteI love your new things, I was just like you and would never have dreamed of wearing florals until a few months ago and now look at the pair of us lol!
Isn't weight loss the best excuse to buy clothing too, I don't know what I'm going to do when I reach "target" I guess I'm going to have to develop a messy eating habit or suchlike to excuse further splurges!

ReplyDeleteLoved the last post now, so happy that you're feeling happy :) It's so difficult losing weight, my younger sister is big and just can't find the willpower to lose weight yet so I have huge respect for what you've achieved. You look fabulous!
