If You Can't Beat Them....

Join them.

I haven't done an Outfit Post with Visible Monday for a few weeks as the builders have got us surrounded and there is nowhere left untouched to take photos. The whole house is covered in scaffolding and I am often getting dressed in the morning when a shadow passes across my bedroom window. Yes the builders are walking past along the scaffolding to work on the roof at the crack of dawn! 

Anyway, I decided to do a quick couple of photos, scaffolding and all, with my favourite maxi skirt this year. 

Do you know why I love it?

The stripes match up at the join.

Obsessed, Crazy, OCD, lady. 

Yup ..I own that name.

But I bet you are going to look at all your stripes today and see if they line up at the joins now ......aren't you?!

Excuse the messy hair - wind was CRAZY blowing again.

I have a bench at the bottom of the garden with no builders, but they can see me very clearly from where they are.

Shopping My Wardrobe

A Simple Charity Dress

This was the little dress I managed to find at a charity shop a few weeks ago. It was a great buy, but the only down side were the puff sleeves. I was torn about whether to attempt to make them narrower or to do away with them altogether. I don't often go sleeveless so dithered about this decision.

This was the dress before I did anything to it. The sleeves were huge!!!

 I then took the sleeves in a little, but I still felt puffed up! ( Excuse the face - I'd just done a full weeks teaching - not used to it!)

So despite my fear of bingo wings, off they came!

 If the cold gets to me I just add a little Zara jacket ( I have rather a lot of those.)

All I need now is the sun to shine a bit more here in the UK! Please!

Father's Day

How I remember him.

Me and My Dad 15 years ago on my wedding day.

I still have my wedding dress and it fits...just. I love it as much today as I did then.

Dad is not doing so well in himself lately. He is struggling to walk and is very confused. 

This is how I try and remember him....walking me down the aisle.

Happy Father's Day Dad.

One of my favourite colours, if you can call it a colour, is grey. 

I also love stripes.

Put the two together and you may even see me in a dress.

As long as it is not too fussy!
