Have I bragged about the yellow dress (my third!) I bought earlier this year? I can not remember! Anyway, here it is; it was still warm enough for wearing it in September, and it is good enough to be worn at the office and elsewhere:
My latest acquisitions are two knit dresses*. I love knit dresses! These two only differ in colour, as you can see. They are a mix of cashmere, viscose and some other fibres; very, very suft and really lovely on the skin, cosily warm without making you sweat, and I love how simple they are. The fawn one I have already had in the washing machine; no problem at all. That's the advantage of the mix - a 100 % cashmere one would not have been so forgiving.
Winter has not yet fully begun, but it is already cold enough for me to wear gloves and a coat. Right now, I very much like my warm woolly things. But I know I will reach the point where I won't want to see any more woolly things - usually some time in February or early March. Until then- happy late autumn and early winter to all of you!
*Guess where I found them, and what I paid!
I like all three dresses on you! That yellow one is such a pretty color, not TOO bright, not TOO light, just right!
ReplyDeleteAnd the two knit dresses? You sometimes find nice dresses at Aldi, don't you? Was it there? I have no idea how much they could be but I hope you got them for a good price!
Thank you, Kay! You're spot on - the knit dresses are from Aldi, and cost just under 30 Euros each. (I know - it is ethically and politically not correct to buy cheap clothes. But... I still do it.)
DeleteOh I am tickled that I guessed Aldi! I am very proud to find a good bargain and will tell the world! :-)
DeleteYou always look gorgeous! The yellow dress is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI got a lovely surprise in the mail today! Thank you so much!! ❤ You made my day!
You are welcome, Jennifer!
DeleteThat yellow dress had my name written all over it when I discovered it at the shop.
Lovely to see you sharing fashion again - and seeing pics! Love the yellow one particularly.... and thanks for your lovely comments on my blog..I will try and post more again Been such a tough year!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Fi.
DeleteFor the next six months or so, the yellow dress is folded away in a box with all my other summer dresses and skirts...
Like them all, but especially the "wooly" ones worn with tights! Also, like your hair length and one side behind your ear; very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jill! When it gets a little colder, I shall wear the wooly dresses with boots. That reminds me - I don't have brown boots, only black ones...
DeleteI have always loved your yellow dresses and I very much like the two new wintery dresses you showed us in this post. I'm glad they are machine washable. I try not to buy anything I need to dry clean.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Kristi. I've always had a thing for cashmere and have one or two jumpers that need hand-washing. I don't mind that so much, but it takes them so much longer to dry than all my other clothes.
