Even though it was freezing today I felt my green dress shout 'pick me,' as I opened the wardrobe.
Today was a mixed bag - yoga, walk with a friend, zoom meeting with our financial adviser, work on my online course and a big clean-up.
I always start the base of my outfit with a yoga vest and leggings so I can get my yoga practice in.
I only do slow flow so I don't get sweaty!
I love this dress as it has pockets and I love pocket .
They are a real deal-breaker for me.
I am also trying to keep wearing heels inside - just so my legs don't forget how they work.
I tried the jumper over the dress but prefer it underneath.
Frankie was determined to get in on this little photo shoot looking nonchalantly into the near distance.
He is a born model.
When I do get a break I will be catching up with these two books.
I started both books before Christmas and I am determined to finish them both this weekend.
Both books are connected to places where I live/have lived.
Beryl Bainbridge's story is set in Liverpool and she grew up in our village.
Andrew O'Hagan's novel is a coming of age when a group of friends from Scotland visit Manchester which is where I grew up and I recognized the 1980s Manchester where it is set including the nightclubs I used to go to.
If you would like to hear my memories of my nightclub days I will be interviewed by Dermot O'Leary on BBC Radio 2 about 9.45am tomorrow (Saturday) morning.
All being well!
Today I wore:
Boots - Rag and Bone
Dress - Wallis
Jumper - French Connection
Leggings and Vest - Sweaty Betty
Hi Jane! Thanks so much for visiting my blog. You look fantastic, easy to see you keep up with proper exercise. I had to laugh when you mentioned wearing heels in the house, I really should do the same thing, I may have already have trouble! I wish I could access the radio show, I would love to hear that. I hope you'll talk about it a bit here on your blog too. It's so nice to meet you! :)
ReplyDeleteFrankie makes the best accessory!
ReplyDeleteI like that jumper both under and over the lovely green dress. I change out of my exercise gear after breakfast but my base layer looks very similar to yours, thermal leggings and a body. Keeps me toasty all day.
The only book I can think of that I've read set locally is Meera Syal's "Anita and Me" although she makes Walsall sound like a rural backwater not the ethnically diverse & largest populated town in the UK that I know and sort of love! We went to the same school. xxx
I missed your radio broadcast. I worked in London nightclubs in my younger days (Tiffany's, La Val Bonne, Maximums, Empire Leicester square) those were the days! Probably why my hearings so bad lol.
ReplyDeleteHello Jane, I am so gutted I missed you on the radio talking about Manchester nightlife!!! Maybe I could find the show on iPlayer (?). I fancy that Mayflies book. Frankie is just gorgeous and lovely dress. I am going to email you regarding the kids’ yoga! Lulu xXx
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends is from Manchester - he came to Canada in the early 80s.
ReplyDeleteLovely dress, and kudos for making sure your feet "remember" heels! I have to make sure I pick heels a few times a week or I'm going to have a closet full of non-wearable shoes when I go back to full time work (which...no idea when...this summer? this fall?).
