Ok @shopafrolic challenge accepted!

Now got to work out how to do the ‘continuing from’ link…

Do I need to get my coat?........

whisper I like the leggings will I end up in exile now?
The red jacket sucked and didn't come home.

I agree the leggings look cool. I would never wear them myself, but can appreciate it on Claudia.

I think it’s pretty good too! Boots, shirt and leggings

I love the whole look. I'd never wear leggings without covering by bum, but she rocks it.

I had an 80s party on Saturday night and went as Alexis Carrington. I loved channelling Joan Collins and found a fab video of her doing her make up while Michael Parkinson looks on in awe. The first beauty vlogger, what a legend!

I love it! Oooh imagine your long legs in those leggings😍

@Stokey that sounds so fun. Joan was on a chat show at the weekend. She looked amazing. Reminded me of my very glamorous dm and dmil - women with super high standards in their old age

I do actually like the leggings - I was just worried I’d scared you all off.
@Stokey we need pics!

Claudia’s outfit from Sat night

Love the sound of that @Stokey, Dynasty was my Friday night highlight when I was at primary school and I started wearing spf every day thanks to Joan ‘never let the sun see your face darling’ .

Fab @shopafrolic, you have rock chic vibes like Claudia.

@AppleFairy agree with @shop about winter boots. Thick soled loafers are also fashionable this season and what my young colleagues are wearing. Not sure @CarolineBringley will be following that particular trend any time soon! I’m still eyeing up thick soled tall Chelsea boots and some Marant trainers, will link if I take any of them over the line…

I rarely read the Times but am have just looked at the T2 and it has a piece on “Liz Truss fashion icon” all about her clothes (very nice) but I just feel a bit disappointed about it (and you know how much I love clothes). Just another intelligent woman reduced to what she wears.....it’s a bit depressing. Am I over reacting?

It is depressing @DryWhiteagainW

Really enjoying all the chat, newbies and lovely pictures and links .

I sort of envy @shopafrolic having Claudia as a fashion muse. I can't think of any celeb who I could use as inspiration!! But Claudia's style (and all round fabulousness) is shop to a tee.

Does anyone else have a person who provides consistent style inspiration?

And I want some clumpy loafers or brogues. Feeling like my standard versions aren't quite cutting it lately.

@DryWhiteagainW, valid point but am sure Liz T would adore the Times piece. When she was at DIT, it was known as the "Department for Instagramming Truss". If we ever meet again IRL, remind me to tell you a story re LT.

Great Q about fashion muses @libertyonhertravels. I still love Kate Moss but she's moved a bit out of the limelight recently.

Sounds intriguing Stokey
Getting off my soap box now.

Lib I’ve always loved Julianne Moore. Similar colouring to me. Similar age. She’s always so stylish and elegant. Wish I could dress like her.

On Shop’s advice I bought some 5081s for everyday .....with my Whistlaes lace up boots and slightly turned., I feel unusually current.

501s........gah

Oh please tell me in a DM. I follow politics avidly and a bit of gossip around it is always interesting 🙂

Julianne Moore perfect for you @DryWhiteagainW
My other style icon is Zoe Ball when she dresses for It Takes Two - except she doesn't present it anymore. But all the fab knitwear, ridiculous high heeled boots and skinnies were me to a tee. Basically anyone with a good fringe, tousled hair, loads of eyeliner.......

MiniShop had his first day out of isolation today so we went to our nearest big shopping centre. For the first time ever someone asked me where I get my hair coloured - which tickled me as I have now embraced the natural grey! They were gobsmacked when I told them it was natural, and then even more gobsmacked when I told them my age. So either they loved it, or they are the best trained, always compliment the customer type sales assistants ever. I walked out feeling v happy :)

Ah Shop that's amazing ♥️. And great to hear mini Shop is out of isolation.

Go Shop .....you are a style icon

Thought I would share some of my recent successful purchases. I read The Secret History a month ago, might be showing.

Blazer
Loafers
Coat
Bag

I love that book @SummaLuvin. Great buys, I really like the oversized blazer. I was hanging out with a friend who was wearing leopardskin loafers this afternoon and thought I needed something similar.

Just popping in to say my &OS wrap cardi seems to be trapped with Hermes, so I ended up buying this dress today as an alternative:

Black again, I know!
