Angie - think of the pearls as a homage to your great style.
Nikki - I love this shade of blue, slightly less vibrant than cobalt which can overwhelm me.
Vintage Dawn - the scar on the neck will fade, for me it was the loss of part of my thyroid that really upset me.
Suz - I really enjoy wearing this dress and I agree that the pearls are so much nicer than merely something to hide a scar, I am sure I will be wearing them for many years to come.
Slim Cat - these are my favourite shoes for formal occasions and surprisingly see to work with most things.
Janet - You made me laugh with the Vavoom comment, as really I am quite small chested.
Cardiff Girl - That is high praise indeed!
ChristelJ - well Coco Chanel loved pears, so I am sure I am onto a good thing.
Gryffin - thank you so much, it was fun to dress up and I hope that as summer approaches I will be able to wear this dress to a function or party.
Shevia - yes, the pearls are likely to be a signature look for me, I intend to wear them with everything!
