Pears!

I planned to spend the Easter Weekend in the garden preparing it for the new season but it has rained non-stop here in the UK so far making any outside work impossible.

My post this week is a dress that I bought during the early autumn last year and Hannah took this picture on some steps shortly afterwards when we visited a park in Bristol. It cost me about £4.00 I think and has an unusual pattern of pears, leaves and tiny yellow flowers. I liked the length and high neckline which makes it nice and modest and I wore it with my red sandals.

I do hope that the weather will soon improve so that I can wear it outside again!

Wide Leg Trousers

A new look for me - wide leg trousers. I found these in a charity shop recently on a £1 clearance rail. Surprisingly they were my size so I thought I would give them a try at that price.

They are high waist and a different cut to my other trousers - I don't have many garments which have a high waist. I did also find that the wide legs took some getting used to when walking at first and I think these will be more suited to evening wear rather than everyday wear. The light beige colour also shows every mark.

What do you think?

Black Dress

It is good to be able to pose for a photograph outside again as we had some fairly warm sunshine in the last few days.

I bought this dress in a charity shop a few days ago. I don't have many black dresses and I quite liked the floral decorative feature just below the neckline on my left and there are leaf features right around the top. The dress is quite a slimline fit - a change for me - but it is knee length and I feel comfortable in it. It cost me £5.50.

My husband said he loves me in this dress but then spoilt it by saying it would be great for wearing to funerals - men!!

Turquoise Again!

Regular readers will know that my favourite colour is turquoise. I bought this dress in a charity shop back in the summer but never got around to posting the photos Hannah took during the summer holidays.

It cost £4.50 and has pockets and decoration around the neck and near the bottom. It is rather long in length and is rather loose on me so I think I will donate it back to a charity shop in due course. It does nothing for my figure. I have plenty of other turquoise dresses after all!

I have had some time off from work due to heavy snowfall. It is very unusual to get heavy snow in the South West of England and we had a red warning yesterday to stay indoors. Motorists have been stuck in their cars overnight near here and we have been warned not to travel unless in a real emergency. All schools have been closed so Hannah and Henry have had two days off and my husband worked from home today. It should be back to normal next week as temperatures are due to rise again,
