I did too, Duo! I’ve been surprised by how lovely it is not to care once I’m in them. I also bought smal’s cardigan.

I had been looking at this top on and off and it came back into stock with 40% off.

The pattern and colours look very mid-century, Pip. I did the same and bought a skirt I’d been checking to see if it came back in stock for ages. I threw a navy t shirt in the order too because it was flat rate shipping.

That’s a great skirt!
It’s the mid century-ness that spoke to me. They have a skirt & dress in the same print but the styles weren’t really me.

What does mid-century mean? I’m clueless.

1950's, generally (probably covers 5 or 10 yrs each way)

I swear I had this exact skirt from French Connection in about 1989. Unfortunately I dyed it black when I had a goth phase.emma_p wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 1:44 pm The pattern and colours look very mid-century, Pip.

My shirt is perfect. Poss a little bit big, but such nice fabric & pattern. C said I only look 80% lesbian in it, and I think that’s only if I wear red lipstick too. 
I also got some khaki jeggings.

I’m glad you like it! I think that style suits being a bit oversized.
I hope my skirt arrives soon. I’m embarrassed to admit how much I’ve missed clothes shopping.

My children know I like a nice pair of PJs for Mother’s Day and chose me these.

I have just ordered Adidas Junior Gazelles to replace my old battered ones. They were a bargain at £31 and they are pink and sparkly and free delivery too.

Really cute! They’ll look great with a summer dress or cropped linen trousers.
