Hi everyone. Still going on Sal’s challenge to wear my unworn winter items. I am really getting there as there are only 2 tops, one jumper, one vest, one jacket, two skirts, one tunic and 4 dresses to go. Plus all 7 higher heeled shoes or boots. I tried on one pair of the shoes that I’m almost resolved to sell, and am also going to sell a retro vest I have. There are some other things to sell too, just gathering up the 8 items I need for a new shop I am going to try to sell through. In the past I have mostly donated but some of these cost more so I will try to make a little.
Pic 1: 1986 Mondi jumper 1st wear this winter. With a black turtleneck this time since you all didn’t like a pink one last year. I have donated my pink and blue ones so only have black left. Worn with new black pants and faithful 2015 cobalt boots now at 84 wears and looking a little battered.
Pics 2-3 first trial of old 2008/9 dark floral skirt that was in holding zone. Put it with the 2018 peplum top 3 wears, the 2018 bronze booties 15 wears and the 2018 bronze cardigan 61 wears.
Tucking in was suggested but pic 4 shows why not: it has a wide band of brown velvet which highlights my belly which I prefer not to show!
I was worried the length made me look like I was in some old-fashioned religious sect where they barely have electricity or modcons?! Am I paranoid? Anyway hubby likes it and then I got 2 compliments at the office. But I am still not too sure. Angie didn’t vote for keeping this skirt but some of you did. Honest opinion appreciated.
