Oooo you look fab, as usual…best-dressed at the dog park for sure. I love cords although I don’t have any at the moment. I love the richness and texture they can add to an outfit.

Love this tonal burgundy outfit, are the cords stripey or no stripey-especially love the shoes you paired them,jacket and jewelery also fab! Your news form Oz scare us to death-Delta will reach us, too- and the perspective of another lockdown is really terriffying me and my business...:-(((

You look fab in cords. I used to wear them, and loved them. I don’t have any now, but would be open to a new pair.


I also love exuberant jumping dogs. I try not to wear nice clothes with my own pack of wild dogs. The other evening I had a couple friends over for an outdoor going away party. One of my closest friends is moving back east. She brought her terrier, making three terriers! It was a bittersweet party. A nice time tempered by the knowledge we’ll soon be separated.

What a chic dog-walking outfit! I love the fit of the cords and those jackets have such rich colours.

Honestly - I did a double take and couldn’t for the life Of me figure out which the dog walking outfit was! You look so incredible in both.

I like the idea of cords abs wire then about 20 years ago, but as Janet said, the thin fabric and stretchy material put me of them as I grew older as they looked too much like sausage casings on me. Honestly, I’ve never seen them look so chic and elegant before - you can turn me onto anything!

We are burgundy cord twins, so you know I approve!

Thanks Rachy, thrilled to be twinning with you!

Roxanna, thanks. It’s the velvet blazer that made the second outfit more dressy to my eye. I draw the line at wearing a velvet blazer to the dog park. But never say never!

Lyn, these are a fine cord, so the stripe effect is less pronounced. I prefer that. More like a finely textured velvet. And I agree that Delta is scary. Unfortunately our numbers are persistent - not responding to the measures that worked last year. Hopefully as our vaccination rates improve we will get it under control.

JAileen, dog parties are the best. I’m sorry about your friend moving. But at least you will be able to travel to see her in a way that you couldn’t last year.

FI, I hadn’t thought about it that way but the vvvp vvvp is kind of endearing and nostalgic

And thanks Aquamarine, Madeline and Sally!

What a stylish dog walker! Love the tonal cord outfit. So pretty! I only have a corduroy skirt and I enjoy it to add texture to an outfit. Not sure that I’d add anymore though—I wore a lot of it as teen and had my fill. (Never looked as chic as you do though!)

Beautiful outfits. Love the column of color. I'm a fan of cords, but haven't had any in years.

Gorgeous! I wish everyone dressed up this much to walk their dogs - what a visual treat that would be. Sorry about lockdown, we are heading there too.

I love cords and your burgundy ones are gorgeous, in both iterations!
