I like the many possibilities of changing style throughout the week; from business to the (very) casual to the sporty to the pretty dresses I usually wear for dancing.<br /><br />What really surprised me many years ago, when my husband came over from England to live with me, that he had never heard of "Dinner for One". For many Germans, it is (wrongly) the epitome of Britishness, whereas in the UK, hardly anyone knows it.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-46182962775077511852013-01-07T21:22:45.668+01:002013-01-07T21:22:45.668+01:00Very nice clothes!

Never before have we spent so many hours at that venue and so much of it on the dance floor :-) (I still haven't learnt every dance and therefore, we sit at the side every now and then, having a drink and talking.)<br />For shoes, it is usually my standard pair of black Mary-Janes. I keep them in my locker at the office, because for getting to and from work, I need boots these days - but can't stay in boots in the warm office all day.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-86339224776570777172013-01-07T07:58:38.878+01:002013-01-07T07:58:38.878+01:00Yes, I've done that before with things from H&...Yes, I've done that before with things from H&M but usually in only two different colours, not four like this time. <br />Agreed - you'd look quite funny in my bouclé dress :-DLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-17818533694237650852013-01-07T07:57:42.500+01:002013-01-07T07:57:42.500+01:00Aaaw, thank you, Silke, you are so kind :-)Aaaw, thank you, Silke, you are so kind :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-47087154983967125602013-01-07T07:57:25.641+01:002013-01-07T07:57:25.641+01:00Thank you, Monica!

This does not apply to skirts, trousers and dresses, though; I have to try these and sometimes find they look odd on me in spite of being my size.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-42357852938275221892013-01-06T23:27:04.858+01:002013-01-06T23:27:04.858+01:00I like all your business attire, but my favorite i...I like all your business attire, but my favorite is the light-weight jumper (a sweater to us Yanks!). I love the color first of all and the pairing with the suit jacket is perfect. Also, I agree with buying several of something that goes well and is comfortable. You'll be very smart and professional looking. Hope all goes well with the new job and RJ.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791018174075586241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-67730187849680274192013-01-06T04:46:37.820+01:002013-01-06T04:46:37.820+01:00Oh good, a fashion post...the only thing missing, ...Oh good, a fashion post...the only thing missing, what shoes will you wear, flat ballet slippers or high heels?<br />Hope you had fun dancing Saturday night! <br />Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-2850741784310081392013-01-06T02:40:01.424+01:002013-01-06T02:40:01.424+01:00The buying of a style one likes in a lot of colour...The buying of a style one likes in a lot of colours is a really good one in my humble opinion. I thought I'd be different and although I think most of your wardrobe makes you look very smart (Bedeutung sehr klug und sehr elegant). The different bit is that your bouclé dress is not one that I'd wear. But then....... Okay I'm is a silly mood this afternoon.
