For what it's worth



After more snow overnight, we trudged valiantly up to school this morning.

"Last one up the hill's Captain Oates!"

By the time I got back home, packaged up some Ebay sales, and had a coffee, I wanted to take advantage of the picturesque conditions for a photo session.





Yep, channelling Stevie Nicks again.



It's obligatory in this skirt, I'm afraid.





1980s Stirling Cooper sheer pleated skirt and boots - Ebay
1980s peplum jacket and silk blouse - vintage shops
Headpiece - gift
Assorted bangles - charity shops and markets
Red flower - retail  Black flower - gift from darling Sarah
Necklace - bought in Zakynthos many years ago 



No - I confess I did not do the school run in this outfit.

Sheer skirts and burlesque headpieces would garner an excess of side-eye in the playground...





Serviceable home front tweed again.

Come on - it's cold!

And I do love this 1970s wool coat, it has more than repaid its £10 price tag.






Jess and Charlie enjoy playing in the snow.






Charlie hides under the foliage and jumps out to chase any unsuspecting passerby, myself included.





More snow is forecast. 






I just knew this skirt and jacket were made for each other.


I might wear them for my night out on Friday (a friend's birthday).


And the miniature hat - bugger the side-eye!


I'm linking up with hostess-with-the-mostest Patti, since I'm feeling particularly visible this Monday.

And at the risk of appearing to be some Stevie Nicks obsessive, I'm posting this video because her outfit in it reminds me of mine, and because she looks so much like my new blog crush, the very talented and stylish Tamera - take a look at her blog profile pic and see for yourself!



And look!
