Looking at this picture, I've just realised that my outfit is vaguely early 50's, a la "A Place to Call Home"; with my long-skirted, waisted dress, a little cardigan and oxford-style shoes. Ha! A subliminal influence! But I am enjoying all the visual styling, the clothing and home deco in it so much! You?
I've just had a check on the net for images of the women's fashion worn in the series and there is practically nothing :( But I'm sure there will be, soon!
This is the first morning I've "felt" cold even though the temps aren't really lower today than so far for this month. Funny, that. It's not even windy, but is just as still as still could be.
After I finish in the office I'm sewing. Nothing will stop me. I've had an autumnal dress on the go for about a month. Seriously! I've been plodding along, but I think I'd better get cracking so it can be worn just a few times before autumn is out!
Min 15C, mac 25C, cloudy

For my family, Craig in particular; this day has been absolutely chocka with me-made-nesses! For activities with varying dress standards; Craig has worn this business shirt, switched over to this short sleeved shirt, then finished up in this hoodie for another part of his day. Whoa! And Cassie wore this Tshirt today.
