Little Black Dress

No clothes bargain this week so I thought I would do a post on a black dress that I bought about six months ago. It is not very exciting I know but it is comfortable and is of a length that I like for my modesty standards. I have worn it to work a few times with a white blouse underneath to conform with the black and white corporate colours - even though I was economical with the white! I believe that it cost £3.50 and I feel that it was very good value.

The shoes were also from a charity shop and were nearly new for £4.00. Black shoes with low heels are my staple for work. I always feel that sensible, comfortable shoes are a must for the office.

Away from work, the children return to school on Monday after the Easter break and fortunately there has been some good weather in the UK during the past week. We have had some days out and they have been with friends when I had to work on Thursday and Friday. I have also managed to fit in some gardening and I love this time of year when the plants and trees are bursting into leaf with renewed growth. It always feels me with great hope for the new season ahead.
