Hi everyone!
I have been reading but been busy this month with work so no time to post.
Sorry to hear about your DF shop. Thinking of you 
. Fabulous artichoke!
mara I would have done the same re a taxi. No point ruining good boots for the sake of the cost of a taxi!
dream I have the red and gold version of the Boden sparkley Breton you linked. It doesn’t seem to have bobbled, but you can feel the man man fibre in the material - on the plus side, this means it doesn’t need much ironing 
.
blair your back to work outfit sounded great! Hope it’s going ok. Is your DH enjoying being at home with DS?
Welcome red!
lib sorry to hear that things are getting to you. Though as everyone has already said, so much has changed in a year that now the dust has settled it’s no wonder that the enormity of it all has got to you.
stokey sorry to hear things are tough at work for you at the moment. Loved the Pyrus buys. Never heard of the brand before but worth looking out for.
justa not sure I could see you in the wide legged cords that stokey has, so maybe your gut instinct to send them back was the right one?
fedup loved the outfit from the other day. That look really suits you.
dry congratulations on the promotion! Hope the studying is going ok?
queenc meant to say ages that that ‘does my bum look 40’ did a blog post on navy blouse and it made me think of you!
marsha your holiday sounds amazing. I always crave some sun at this time of year.
blingy hope you found the missing jewellery (think it was earrings or a bracelet?) and that work isn’t too bad.
Hope that’s everyone, apologies if I’ve missed you out, there was a lot to remember!!
I’ve got very little fashion news. Similar to fedup I’ve bought a lot and returned it all. I did order 2 nice Kate spade skirts and skirt but they were a tad tight and just needed look like they cost over £100. (There is still some nice Kate spade stuff on the Outnet though). But I just don’t need anything. I did finally get some more boots after lots of dithering. I got these to wear with skirts/ dresses as they are quite low on the ankle. They are good for day and night as the heel is not too high and they are sooooo comfy. I also got 🤣these for the school run / casual. I got both in the Black Friday offers, so was quite pleased. I did find the influx of offers a bit over whelming and felt that I ought to get something to bag a bargain, but I wasn’t overly inspired, so saved myself a trip to the post office with the returns .
