The Case for Lace

It seems to me that every year, a trend in autumn/winter is lace.

Which is fine with me, I think lace is lovely any year. Sorry, season, I am forgetting my fashion-speak...

So I have two lacy numbers to show how on-trend I am. Like I give a toss, ha!

                                            Pretty, no?

                 Couldn't help myself, I had to match the tights and the flower. 

                          

                         I know, it's lame but I can't help it.

Then just when you think you've had enough, here comes another lacy number.

                      

               Mmmm,  this one is in warm shades of caramel and chocolate.

Hmm, just pausing to consider my belly, which needs to be covered. Shall I have another baby? No thanks.

Oh good grief, here I go with the leg again. I think I am pondering the wisdom of pulling silly faces on the internet. Oooh, go on then, no one's looking...

                            Here's the pins! How cute are the daisy tights?



Who's coming out for cocktails with me then? OK, I'll buy you a pint if you'd rather.


I am most excited to be off to London on Saturday with my dear friend Patsy, who is paying for my half of the hotel bill as my belated birthday present. Hoping to do a bit of culture, a lot of eating and drinking, maybe some vintage shopping, we shall see. Definitely lots of talking and laughing, that much is guaranteed!

Have a wonderful weekend, you lovelies!
