Want to see my drawers?

No not those drawers!

My wardrobe drawers.

Firstly I must confess to a little habit of mine - the chazza run. Let me explain. A chazza run usually happens on one of my days off and involves me dashing from one charity shop to the next as quickly as I can. I'm a dab hand at scanning the rails, checking the china, sniffing the blankets... In fact I can do all ten of Dorchester's chazzas in an hour and get a coffee too.

so let me introduce you to a Christmas prezzie. This top was my present from Mr Jam which made me feel a bit bad as I didn't get him anything. However did he pay the White Stuff loads of dosh for it? No (and no he's not a shoplifter either). It was an impulse buy. Hanging on the rail outside Leonard Cheshire marked at £1!!! Yes just a one, no zeros at all.

I rather like it and when I let you take a peak in my drawers you'll see why. See I have a bit of a turquoisey blue thing going on...

... alongside the green habit...

...and just occasionally I let a smidge of pink and brown in.

So, now you're acquainted with my wardrobe you'll understand the chazza ecstasy I experienced a few weeks ago. I was doing my weekly chazza run. Popped into Feral Cat Care and the lady was cooing over a bag of donations. As I squeezed past (very small shop) she looked me up and down and asked if I'd like to see what she'd just been given. Well I found out what all the cooing was about. A bin bag full of gorgeous clothes from Boden, White Stuff, Monsoon etc. Best of all most of it matched my colour drawers and was my size. She told me I could take my pick at £3 an item! I did have a wicked thought about buying the lot and putting it on Ebay but that would not be in the chazza spirit. So I put a load by and headed for the cashpoint. This is what I bought...

So you see I wear green with turquoise, turquoise with brown, brown with a smidge of pink and pink with green. My wardrobe goes full circle! So a big thank you Mrs Donator whoever you are, you have very good taste. Just keep donating please!

Got a bit carried away with the clothes photographs. I love all the embelishments.

Today I went to Bridport to look at my blue surprise and was not disappointed. I have a half written blog post that the blue 'one' will fit into nicely but will keep you wondering for now...

So for today's bargain - a lovely green linen dress from the Scope shop in Bridport.

Bit chilly for today but got me thinking Spring thoughts so I bought some flowers and bulbs for my fridge.

 And today in the bathroom mirror I'm wearing green and pink (to match?).

Give me colour

These are the colours I love...

The colours I wear, almost every day.

More of that another time.

Cutting it fine

Just a mighty quick post today so you know I'm still here. I rarely post pictures of myself because a - I don't suppose you'll want to look at me and b - I find it a bit embarassing. However I had to settle the dress debate...

Last week saw a mad what to wear to a wedding panic. Typically me I bought a dress on Ebay to arrive the day before said wedding. Did it fit? Of course not, I would have needed a serious boob job to fill it. Worse still the Jammers thought it was a children's dress. So after much debating and showing to friends I plucked up courage to alter it. I've never made clothes before so it was a bit of a gamble. I kept reassuring myself I hadn't paid the full price for it and if I only tucked the fabric inside and didn't cut it I could let it out and re sell it.

Anyway I think it turned out ok and I hope I look more than 4 but less than 40.

All ok and over the dress debacle until I was helping the smallest Jammer with some cutting and sticking today. I suddenly realised my beautiful Toast dress was like a Charlie & Lola dress!
If only I was as slim as Lola!
Have a lovely week.
