Here's a rare chance to see me wearing my coat.This great hulk of a Parka was a steal from TK Maxx at £29.00.
It was in the clearance sale and fits lots of layers underneath for the cold weather to come.
Today I was back in the prison to deliver a writing workshop before meeting Jenn for lunch to discuss a project we will work on together in the New Year.
I miss Jenn.
Jenn was the librarian at the prison until she left in July to take a career break and finish her second novel.
We made plans to attend a writer's networking event in Birmingam next month which should be fun.
She told me that the rights to her first book have been sold to the US and Italy - which is great news.
I wore:
Shoes and Coat - TK Maxx
Trousers - Asda
T-shirt - Dorothy Perkins
Cardigan and Necklace - Tesco
So sleek and I love that heart pendant you always sport!
ReplyDeleteLove the inside and the outside. And it really was a steal :)

Kyla - I am glad you like the trousers, I haven't worn them for ages.

I'll bet that coat keeps you very warm during cold winters!
ReplyDeleteI so love that black cardigan. Look how completely tall and slender you are, and the cardi just emphasizes it!
The outfit you are wearing has to be one of my all time favorites of what you've shown. The coat will keep you cozy all winter.

ReplyDeleteCan't believe you found that dress for a fiver! total bargain. Have you noticed its particularly low cut though, I've had to put a permanent safety pin in it. x
