I refused, thinking it would be downright deadly on me although I could see it working wonderfully on so many others. I MIGHT have to rethink it after seeing what wonderful combinations you've put together here. <br /><br />Hope you enjoyed your dinner. :-)Jean at www.drossintogold.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089424590056521268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-91235261890256669952014-03-02T08:39:09.777-08:002014-03-02T08:39:09.777-08:00I love yellow and you can wear definitely yellow !...I love yellow and you can wear definitely yellow !!!

I have zero yellow in my wardrobe, I don't feel like I DISLIKE so much as I don't gravitate towards it? Same with orange. I do have some yellow gingham in my fabric stash, maybe I should make something with it. You know, one thing I love about your blog is that you tell us all about your adventures with the kids/friends. That coal mining museum looks fantastic! I would love to visit and rub some coal on my face.

I used to be able to wear a nice mustard colour but not with my current hair colour(s).<br /><br />The Mine tour looks quite interesting. Your son reminds me of the Roddy McDowell character in "How Green Was My Valley", which is one of my favourite films. The scenes of the mine collapse is so affecting - I can't imagine having my husband and children working underground day after day with the threat of that forever looming.Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-3591941195880169652014-03-01T12:41:29.404-08:002014-03-01T12:41:29.404-08:00Yippee!

And, cousin to cousin...cover up the footprint somehow, please! <br /><br />Yellow! I think it's a little less forgiving when it comes to the shade, but find your yellow, and you are golden!!! Yuk, yuk!<br /><br />And speaking of golden, you look lovely in your yellow today. A nice bit of sunshine!<br /><br />Thanks for the mine tour. It's very sad how things transpired back in the Thatcher days. I don't know a lot about it, but when I saw Billy Elliott, the live theater production, they had quite a bit of information in the lobby...enough that I read about it in deeper context after returning home.

The gold top and fishnets with those boots add some sexy, that's right I said it, sizzle in the sunshine!
