I am more of a summer person, but I do enjoy the luxurious fabrics of the winter- wool, cashmere, sheepskin, furry stuff! Nothing like being nestled in something thick and fluffy!
I wore this outfit to church on a previous Sunday and I did feel snug (and wore my hat throughout. Because, you know, it's nice to wear a fancy hat).
This blanket skirt, as I affectionately call it, was a £5 find from Spitalfields market, a couple of years ago. This old, scruffy looking man rocks up there with a huge messy pile of clothes, in which you can find some vintage items (what vintage this skirt is, I don't know, if indeed it has one) if you dare rummage! I did dare, and was pleased with it!
The scarf was a recent charity-shop find, found after the Doctor's appointment, it's so soft!
The cardie was a lucky Tescos cashmere find- last Christmas, they announced that all cashmere was £25 for a limited time and I snaffled this cardie (and a jumper for CBC).

We went swimming this Saturday morning, for the second week running. This is brilliant as CBC is not an advocate for swimming and usually I can't drag him to go with me. However, he is atuned to what his friends do so when his flatmate and neighbour decided to go, he said, why didn't we go along?
We had a nice time and felt very virtuous!! Later, we managed to arrange provisionally booking our wedding reception venue and arranging a taste-test with a caterer. I do so hope CBC likes it as this caterer is much cheaper than another one we've got a quote for. Me, I like most things.
Now, I am sifting through recordings of my children at school, ensuring they are all named accurately! Fun eh? I really really hope we can address another resolution/wedding prep wish tomorow by going to a Lindy-hop class which I have been hoping we'll go to for a couple of weeks but CBC has mounds of work to do so it may just be me on my own. I am also going to go lindy-hopping for my birthday celebration in March! It's great fun and I so want to learn it properly!!
