She hadn't seen anything like them and was quite fascinated (or was that horrified?) She then asked what I would be wearing with them I am not sure she was totally convinced, but she did concede she that a structured topper would work. She is a sweet lady and a very good seamstress so she can say whatever she likes :)</p> <p>Story Two:</p> <p>I spent a little time to day scouring the local shops unsuccessfully for an affordable pair of new black slim leg jeans (to wear to tomorrow's Melbourne mini meet - I decided my current pair are in need of replacing and are not good enough to meet my fellow fashionistas in.. last minute of course). I didn't want to settle for second best, and couldn't find anything in a really nice solid black, so came home empty handed to find my one of DH's friends had come up from Melbourne today to spend time recording with my DH .. and he had brought with him a pair of brand new dark black slim leg jeans from his wife who decided she didn't want them... they are a perfect fit and exactly what I was looking for. I kind of felt there was a message here. And I am so glad I practiced Angie's PPP (did I get that right) and didn't buy the pair I tried at the shops which were ok but not really what I wanted.</p> <p>Thanks ladies, both these happenings would be lost of a lot of my friends, I really appreciate how much we all "get" each other when it comes to our love of fashion and style.</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p> <p>p.s Melbourne mini meet tomorrow!! Meeting LynD, and Carolbee for the first time and thrilled to be catching up with the lovely Fruitful again. One more sleep!! </p>
