One of the things I love most about clothes is the memories they carry with them, hidden in the fabric. It’s a bit of a running joke in our family that, given any random life event, I can be counted on to remember exactly what I was wearing for it, right …
If bloggers made fields, this is exactly the kind of field they’d make… … one with poppies, and blue skies, and the summer sun beating down on it. It’s a field of dreams, really, isn’t it? We discovered the field completely by accident, when we went out for a walk last …
This week, summer made a welcome return to Scotland, and Terry and I decided to make the most of it by having some days out – and, in my case, wearing some of the clothes I know I’m probably not going to get the chance to wear once we’re thrown back …
Good news, folks: we have a new source of Friday Five questions! This was suggested by Miss Kitty, who commented on last week’s post to let me know about another blog posting weekly questions: which seem much more interesting than “what would you take to a desert island” style questions I’d been …
Following on from yesterday’s post, and in a bid to get back into the writing-about-my-life habit again, let the record show that the day I wore this skirt (which was a very kind gift from the people at JOY the Store), was the first dry day in roughly 1,000 years, and …
Last Tuesday was the hottest day of the year so far, so Terry and I decided to take the afternoon off, and head into Edinburgh, for a wander around the Royal Yacht Britannia, which is moored in Leith. Let’s just get the awkwardness out of the way first, though: yeah, I …
couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post over at ShoeperWoman about why I don’t believe in keeping things “for best“. Then I realised that, good though my intentions may be, I don’t always practice what I preach: take this skirt, for instance. I’ve been keeping this skirt “for best” – …
This outfit was mostly inspired by the weather. Well, I mean, I say “the weather” – I really mean the wind, which was, predictably, blowing its heart out on the day these were taken. The constant high wind we seem to get here (I swear it wasn’t this bad where we used …
I completely forgot I had this dress. I’ve no idea how I managed it: I mean, it hangs in plain sight in my closet, and it’s not like I’m never in there, is it? Actually, because I’m still somewhat obsessed with the idea of “minimising” my wardrobe (don’t laugh), I’m probably …
This is another one of those outfits I almost didn’t bother photographing. For one thing, I wore this dress exactly the same way (By which I mean, “with exactly the same shoes”. Well, there’s not a whole lot of “styling” required with a dress like this, is there? Like, if I …
Well, folks, I’ve well and truly fallen off the “I’m only buying practical clothes from now on” wagon. Big time. I mean, this dress isn’t even remotely practical, is it? No matter how I try to justify it by telling you that I promise to wear it aaaalll the time, it’s …
Well, looks like it’s that time of year again, folks… … the time when I start wearing wall-to-wall gingham, and don’t stop until… well, EVER, really. I can’t help it, though – to me, summer and gingham go together like wine and chocolate, so I’m making the most of them both …
