I bloody love it. <br /><br />You look fabularse in that amazing maxi (THE COLOURS!) and I have a very similar 50s blouse-thing that I have never worn and I think you've just shown me how to wear it... backwards, as a jacket! I shall give it a try. The tights are INCREDIBLE and am envious that you look so exquisite in a beret - I look WEIRD in them. <br /><br />LARVAE, <br /><br />Sarah xxx<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235255775524330362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-54216518716249190032013-10-19T07:01:04.447-07:002013-10-19T07:01:04.447-07:00cool blog!!

I love how all the bloggers are popping up there, I'm sure Desiree must be hiding somewhere in that circus story too. And you are looking especially magnificent, can't go wrong with new boots and they look great with those leggings. Hopefully Debenhams will give you a definite answer soon, it seems like they've been keeping you hanging on for ages, fingers still crossed here. xx CityScape Skybabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664705819999740018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-72303924266788655202013-10-15T00:43:37.805-07:002013-10-15T00:43:37.805-07:00Sometimes companies can take ages to get back to y...Sometimes companies can take ages to get back to you about a job.

I also was once was offered a job after weeks of not hearing and like you rang them. <br />Yes we totally need cheerful colours to liven up a drab day, this outfit fits the bill alright.
