London trip

Off to London soon. I have lots of clothes and lots of ideas for what to wear. I’m also absolutely not here for anybody wanting to tell me that nobody gives a shit and only foreign tourists and provincial idiots care about what they wear.

What I am here for is wanting to know what YOU would wear for the following:

  • A day that includes travelling, some sight seeing and shopping and a casual Michelin star lunch
  • a theatre trip
  • a casual dinner and pubs

I love talking clothes, so this is just an excuse to be nosy!

My only real contemplation points are shoes and coats, as ideally I only want one coat and one pair of shoes for the whole trip. Bags will be a Longchamp le Pliage and then a tiny cross body Longchamp plus a Westwood for the theatre, I think.

Peggy Jean looks sweet.

@HotAndHassled 50s and a 14. Must admit I still think I’m 19 and a size 8 though - until I see my reflection and have a nasty surprise!

Ahh, same size and I am a few years older! I am 5’9” and am not sure if I was ever a size 8.
I don’t ever want to be 19 again - I was absolutely riddled with self doubt and insecurity. I’m a much happier person now!

That’s a very good point. I don’t want to be 19 again either, but I’d quite like my hair and legs back.
