Royal style continues!
Thanks to Deftly for the thread title. Let's hope there's more Gucci and Chanel.....fewer coat dresses..,.

I want CPM's velvet suit. It's gorgeous.

I need some velvet trousers in my life but have no idea where to find them. I had a pair of maternity velvet(/een) trousers and they were my favourite.

Love CPM's evening dress. Oh to be tall, slim & dressed up!

I love Max's wedding dress and the underskirts swirl into roses if seen from underneath (there are photos somewhere, I've shared them before)

If anyone fancies breaking out the champers and donning their tiara this evening....I got a job today! Apparently, DH says that buying a lucky dip for the lottery doesn't qualify as a "career plan" so off I toddled and snagged a teaching job. So cheers, after dry January the bubbles are most welcome this evening Grin

Thank you! Secondary, behaviour unit. Not everyone's cup of tea but I do like a challenge!

KillingMeDeftly · 03/02/2022 20:49

Well done @frugalkitty! I had a friend who did a similar job and loved it.

That's a challenge, but very rewarding.

Well done Frugal!
Evening gown and tiara on and raising a Dubonnet cocktail to you!

Big congratulations @frugalkitty! That's great news. Perhaps Haakon could be brought out of the airing cupboard as it's a special occasion? Wink

@KillingMeDeftly

50th birthday portraits of CPM. She looks very regal and statuesque but much like with Kate, I don't think ice blue is her colour. It looks a bit too cold on her.
My Fave tiara out for a spin again

Congratulations @frugalkitty! I enjoy hearing bits of information about posters' lives, especially the good news.

@KillingMeDeftly

I found a Maxima style retrospective from 2018. Behold the hats! There are some which make the Pringle look understated.
I enjoyed that so much.”He did eventually high five me” 😂
CliffsofMohair · 04/02/2022 04:24

Well done@frugalkitty!

frugalkitty · 04/02/2022 08:27

Thank you everyone! I am most touched. The Haakon suggestion made me chuckle....chance would be a fine thing with teenagers still at home Grin

In other news, I came across the weirdest photo of CPM just now.....what is she doing under that dress???
