1. A new Cardy. I saw this in Laura Ashley and just had to try it! I love that it is cut just like a jacket. What a splash of colour for the office this winter. Navy trousers, navy and grey top.

2.I have christened these the official YLF slippers. They make me smile every time I put them on. If I can just stop the cat putting twigs in them I think I am on a winner!

3.NOW, a sweater dress!!!! Nine long years since I owned a dress. Is it a 10? I have to admit I love it and so doe’s DH, but if I am seriously deluding myself please give it to me straight.

Excuse the hysterics of the photo’s DH has started messing around when taking them, he keeps telling me to love the camera ( fool )

Love the red jacket and it goes very well styled with the top! And I like the dress, fits well and is very flattering!

Wowzers, you look fabulous! Your last para made me giggle and I suddenly had thoughts of "Yeah, baby, that's it. Work it, just right, hoooooold it!" ( <tee-hee!>:-)

I am such a fan of red and that jacket is lovely!

Oh, and I am particularly swooning over your sweater dress, it is just beautiful! The only little thing I am wondering is if perchance you are wearing a white bra underneath? I'm not sure if it is my monitor, but it appears there is just a little glow around your breasts? (I nearly wrote boobies but restrained myself to be a proper grown up.) Or maybe it is just that the camera *really* loves you?! Regardless, it is stunning!

Azure thank you for boost. That red cardy is going to be worn to death!

Katiepea, that is just what he is doing!! Thank you for the confidence builder on the dress. I was wearing a nude colour bra, so I think it was the flash on the camera. Forewarned is forearmed I will make sure I am wearing a black one next time!!

Aunty, I love the work look you've created with the cardigan. The sweater dress is a 10 in my book.

Aunty a cardigan cut like a jacket....love it and the color is gorgeous on you. love he slippers. And I think the dress is just lovely. Are you wearing tights or leggings? This could look so good over skinny jeans too.

Kimlee thank you so much for the 10. It is such a new look for me I need the back up of the YLF family

Deborah, I was wearing leggings with it, but now that it looks like I will be keeping it I will try it other things.

Such fun pictures!-)

I love the style and colour of your new cardigan. Beautiful outfit with the striped top!
Those slippers really are fantastic. Totally smile-inducing. They have a bit of a fun French vibe going on.

I like the sweater dress too, definitely a versatile piece.

Oh I love that cardy - I think I might be visiting Laura Ashley soon ....

I like the dress on you too, very flattering. And the slippers are cute - so sweet that your cat puts twigs in them!

Lovely outfits.

Inge thank you. I am so glad you like the slippers

Butterfly, get thee to Laura's. The cardy comes in navy as well. I nearly went for that, but the red just screamed at me to take it home!!!

Angie my second KILLER, I am tickled pink. Thank you so much
I now OWN a dress, how is that for progress!! I would have sworn 6 months ago that it would never happen!!

Aunty you are just looking beautiful! I love the idea of the comfort of a sweater and the structured look of a jacket. I hope it becomes a trademark for you because it looks so fab on you! Yay for the cute slippers, and yay for your first dress!

Those slippers really do personify YLF, don't they? Adorable!

And your new sweater is fantastic on you. What a terrific choice! I see your feline friend agrees. He also coordinates beautifully.

Love the sweater dress, as well. It looks fun and elegant at the same time. Great choice!
