Here is a 20-year throwback to my 40th birthday which had a red theme. It was a very happy time, we had a barbecue at home with friends and family including lots of kids ( ours were 10, 7 and 4 at the time, now 20 years older as am I!)
I could never bear to give away the beautiful Monsoon dress gifted at the time by my sister from England, it’s 100% silk. As I have lost 9 kg I suddenly wondered if I could get it on! Well it’s a bit clingy to lumps and bumps but not that different to 20 years ago in its fit, so with a Sabatini sparkly cardigan 2012 and red mid-heeled sandals from Queensland, Australia 2017 and some old cherry earrings, as we are in a lockdown perhaps I can dream of a YLF cocktail party?
