Apart from shorts nothing in my wardrobe really gets stored for another season - layers are a girls best friend :)<br />Good to hear about the Barry M nail polish. I stopped wearing polish after finding out about all the chemicals in them so I'm going to find out more and maybe my nails will be adorned once again!

I'm on the lookout for those knee length sports leggings women wear in the gym or for jogging, they'd be perfect under dresses to avoid the dreaded tights.

Finding that bargain polo neck on ebay had me trying everything I owned on top of it, everything looked so different! <br />I saw your Rochdale photos on that "story" bit on IG but wasn't sure how you comment on it. What a stunning town hall. isn't it amazing how much money the Victorians & Edwardian spent on municipal buildings back in the day?<br />That lady who stopped her car obviously had excellent taste. xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-52964452809174072542019-10-18T17:31:48.262+01:002019-10-18T17:31:48.262+01:00Thanks, Sally!
