Wear your mistakes?

I'm thinking of using lockdown as a time to wear all those expensive fashion mistakes festering in my wardrobe. Those things I feel too guilty to get rid of until I've worn them at least a couple of times. Then there's the outfits I really like but don't have the guts to wear in public that could be next week.....

Now here's a thread I can get behind.
Last week I wore my ultra wide, pavement sweeping wide legs most days.
This week I'm experimenting more with colour. Starting quietly with a mustard jumper over a purple T but will work up to something more out there by Friday.

I bought a navy corduroy pinafore, nothing against them but I look bloody awful in it. I'm wee and dumpy so just like a toddler aged 40 and three quarters.

I've been doing this but with makeup - trying to use up a crap pressed powder (Boots No7 Flour Face "Airbrushed") and a rather old Bobbi Brown lipstick Blush

Good idea, I have some Charlie body spray I won in a raffle about ten years ago. I'm going to look and smell greatGrin

My friend decided we should wear ballgowns on friday nights and have a natter on facetime.

That's a fun idea Canyon I might get a bit dressed up on Saturday. I suggested a romantic dinner to DH in the dining room, he was like this Hmm

Brilliant idea - I have a fabulous orange (yes orange) dress I got on eBay last year - still has tags
Nowhere to wear it to...
