I bought a relatively expensive duffel coat with my first pay packet from teaching. Decadence I have not seen in myself the like of since.<br /><br />James - I think you’ll find I am regularly Dickensian from the knee down. I have left the Lady Di look that you bullied me into - twice – well and truly behind.<br /><br />Codgi – hippy.<br /><br />Carol – For ages – I didn’t even notice that I wasn’t exactly fitting in. Then when I started to notice I wanted to stop telling me how I should be. Celebrate diversity!!! I am now very comfortable in my own skin....I guess the ‘like me or lump me’ thing asserts itself better with age.<br /><br />Eric – why thank you. I have other looks too....that example looks quite ‘together’. Perhaps I dressed up for the camera. I love my patched sleeved cardigan. Someone once asked if it was designer! The patches hide the holes made by a spitting fire.<br />Yes I have a wheel of clothing – without the wheel – it’s called least observant person in the world doesn’t really notice what or how she’s putting anything on – especially first thing in the morning.<br /><br />Ribbon – very kind of you. Thank you.<br /><br />Codgi – perhaps i should make such a wheel and it will be blogged about of course.<br /><br />Carol – I’ll be over at your place to have a read in a mo. I delivered diversity training to a junior headteachers’ conference today – it’s fascinating eliciting different people’s perspectives.<br /><br />Ken D – They gave me the curved metal ear bits once but I complained that they hurt my ear lobes – so I was given ‘normal’ ear hooks at about 6 – which of course came off more easily and therefore needed more plasters.<br /><br />I am posh. Really posh. Isn’t it obvious?!<br />And I wouldn’t mess with me either.<br /><br />No – probably not called posh that often but I appreciate it’s all relative. Someone saw fit to fix my tooth heavy face. And I am a big softy really......really soft! Barks and bites and all that!<br /><br />Clearly you’re very special in a nutty way Ken D.<br /><br />FF – ah thank you. Again.<br /><br />Ahh I’m feeling all loved up again!Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-84493527417563532932010-03-19T16:02:42.357+00:002010-03-19T16:02:42.357+00:00I love your lookI love your lookFrench Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-53295951909066530022010-03-19T15:12:36.431+00:002010-03-19T15:12:36.431+00:00Ken...you wore bandages??!!Ken...you wore bandages??!!jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450268107603317867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-77843030964481874612010-03-19T12:15:40.526+00:002010-03-19T12:15:40.526+00:00The pink glasses...the ones with the bendy metal e...The pink glasses...the ones with the bendy metal ear bits, patch and plaster describes me to a tee. You were posh If you had a brace. I never had a brace...what's the point if you were in fear of having your teeth knocked out?<br /><br />Best jeans to work jeans to painting jeans to cut-off jeans with dangling threads. Weekends force me into suits...well, Sunday at least.<br /><br />I've been renovating a French property for about eight years...same clothes. I dress in weird things when I'm allowed to at work...bandages (got very hot) and oriental bits. I even wore stripy tights but brighter colours than yours. Last year I wore a SAFC shirt which caused a stir. Yes, I said. It IS a football team.<br /><br />You look every bit the rebel Molly P.

I do find myself looking at some of the women on the tube when I'm going to work/uni and I find myself peering at them in a 'how on earth do they manage to look so well groomed' kind of way. It's all just far too high maintenance..I just can't be arsed..life is too short and I kind of like my dragged through a hedge backwards look!!<br /><br />C xCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327016337976942530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-79804861785037740722010-03-18T18:15:05.543+00:002010-03-18T18:15:05.543+00:00I had to learn the language of clothes for work.
