Something Old, Something New.....


Don't worry - this is not a bridal post.
As the weather is still cool I needed to wear boots and this lovely thick, flouncy skirt that I have had for at least two years.
The top is my last purchase of May and I love the way the coral mixes with the blue.
After losing a few unwelcome pounds with Weight Watchers I feel a little more secure wearing my belts again.
I am still at least 10 pounds heavier than when I started blogging in 2008 but I think I am destined to carry a little extra to flesh out the ageing process.
Still, I saw a poignant reminder on a poster today which listed things to be grateful for.

It said:

I am thankful for....

the clothes that feel a little too snug as it means I have enough to eat.

I wore:
Boots - Clarks
Skirt - Principles
Top - New Look
Belt - Tesco
Necklace - Fossil

  3. You still look lovely and slim in your photos - must be to wear a flounced skirt so well! Like the quote but think I need to get back to my daily walking routine to lose that 'too snug' feeling.
