These were my goals
1. Big skirt with petticoat - to create size and increase personal space
2. Red - it's a passionate/aggressive colour, apparently, and also very nice
3. Brooches - because they are pretty
4. Flat shoes - I am dangerous in heels
5. Husband - useful for driving and helping
6. Red lipstick - no reason needed
My arms?
Ready for Battle
Practical examination - it worked, I was bumped into once, as I was protected by excess fabric and a petticoat the offender was lucky not to bounce of me and into the nearest window
I haven't shown Mr F who carried most of the bags
Shopping is exhausting
then Work, actually I wore this to work and the evening before for my nephews birthday party
I won't wash clothes every time I wear them, no need to
Sudley House
As Mr F is off work we had a sneaky morning out and about
Great place and free
I am challenging myself to take more pics outside
I didn't realise how awkward I would feel
but no time for nonsense
I have challenged myself
trying to relax on an awesome stairwell
just magnificent
the pic before this was delightful
I was adjusting myself in a vigorous manner
Hazelnut coffee and a scone
*faint*
too too good
I am linking in to the Christmas share in style with lovely Sacramento
I know it's a literal interpretation
but I have access to Santa! Ho Ho Ho!
I hope you all have a majestic weekend
let there be love and cake
AND

I'm so glad your big skirt and petticoat plan worked ... I might have to adopt it too.
ReplyDeleteLove that mosaic/tiled floor ... they just don't make them like they once did.
You're looking all butter wouldn't melt in my mouth , I'm very proper on your day out ... was it only last post you were laughing at farts ... how quickly things change ;0)
xx
haha! I think my Mother would call it 'fur coat and no knickers' - I definitely think big skirts work and a slightly demonic look!, and the floor is amazing! x x x
DeleteYou look super! Big clothes is always the way forward when shopping, that or not many clothes and bony elbows!
ReplyDeleteSudley house is fantastic isn't it? I would love to live there. You look like you own it in some of those photos!
xx
oh Sudley House! it's gorgeous, did you ever see the dress exhibition? beautiful! I wish I owned it hehe! x x x
DeleteGreat post , love the outside photos love the dress and the bag especially the bag .Love Lesley
ReplyDeleteThanks Lesley, it's a Minnie Mouse bag! I love it too! x x x
DeleteI love it when a plan comes together! I'm surprised anyone could get near to you, never mind jostle you. So that should be you Shopping Outfit from now on, especially when it's busy. Plus, you look gorgeous as well as being well protected - result!
ReplyDeleteSudley House looks beautiful, and you look quite the Lady of the Manor. Gorgeous stained glass, elegant staircase, beautiful tiled floor, lovely gardens, and I adore the shot of you from behind. If that doesn't sound too rude... And which bit of yourself were you vigorously adjusting? Were your knickers up your bum? That's why I wear Granny Pants, saves on hoiking them out at inopportune moments.
Oh I am so delightfully ladylike, aren't I? I need some lessons from you, Lady Sandra! Love the fur collar, by the way, and I think Santa rather likes you too, ho ho ho.
Have a great weekend! xxxx
ha! no knicker/bum issue, I wear pants a Grandmother would refuse and a girdle/slip thingy (lovely) there is pulling things down and up a lot, I'm such a lady too! oh I flounced around that place and I have a hot date with Santa x x x have a great weekend Curtise x x x
Deleteabsolutely amazing i found you via share in style;) i love your christmas interpretation, that wide fur collar looks fabulous. and i agree with red it´s an passionate but aggressive color, i wear it almost daily haha

Thank you Mary Lou! I have popped over to your blog, it's amazing! x x x
DeleteYou look marvellous!! I love the fur around your neck, so lovely. I came via the link-up. This place is beautiful too. I hope you have a great weekend xx Kizzy
ReplyDeleteThe Dainty Dolls House
Thanks Kizzy! your outfit was fab! have a great weekend too x x x
DeleteYou look gorgeous in your 50s style skirt and petticat, the fur stole is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh...I've never tried hazelnut coffee, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Have a wonderful weekend with your own personal Santa ;) xx
I don't know what a petticat is, but there should definitely be such a thing. I think I've invented a cool new word.
DeleteAnyway, obviously I meant petticoat :) x
I think I prefer petticat, it probably explains why mine like to sleep on it! it was my first hazelnut coffee, I can't even explain how delicious it was!! yes, me and my personal Santa are having a fab time! have a wonderful weekend Yvonne x x x :)
DeleteYou look stunning, especially nibbling on your high tea. That huge skirt is perfect for keeping those irritating in your face shoppers at bay, the ones who breathe down your neck in chazzas and try to snatch your spoils from your arms. I must channel you and do the same 0 but with bastard massive heels to accidentally on purpose pierce their feet for daring to get too close! xxx
ReplyDeleteha! I love it! I should wear bastard massive heels next time, like a shopping ninja! and thank you! x x x x
DeleteYou made me lol with your "husband goal" useful for driving & helping! You look fabulous & love the high tea shots!
ReplyDeleteDeniseAngela
Thanks DeniseAngela, husbands can be quite useful! x x x
Deleteoooo you look so scrummy, i adore that briad on you and the little shrug and skirts with petticoats well always a winner! i know what you mean about pics outside...i still cant relax enough! x
ReplyDeleteskirts and petticoats are twirly heaven! I'm working on my outside pics, but I am still a little stiff - thank you for your loveliness! x x x
DeleteLove the outfits! Also, love the floral dress and dot cardi... sounds like you guys had a swell visit to that beautiful old house!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sonia, it was a great sneaky day out! x x x
DeleteI just love your collection of capes and fur collars! You always style yourself fabulously and I think you look amazing in all the photos here! And red lipstick is always a great idea! xx
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Louise, I'm getting used to it (outside pics), and yes to red lippie, I feel like I have forgotten something If I haven't got a bright lippie on! x x x
DeleteYou look so nice in that house. I think you should move in. Love the photo of you walking down the road. Lovely little Victorian Lady.
ReplyDeletehehe! yes please, I would love too! thanks Connie :) x x x
DeleteYou look magnificent in your fur collar and all that foofy skirted gorgeousness (never realised a full skirt and petticoat were so useful in protecting a persons person space!) and the mansion looks beautiful (as does that scone. Yum!). XXX
ReplyDeleteoooh I like your new Brooke pic! and I like 'foofy' too, it turns out I was very well protected! and thank you for your lovely words xxxx
DeleteHow hot did you look in every single photo, you totally worked the camera, even back on you look HOT!! What a fabulous place for a coffee and cake, the tour via your blog was so nice. I do like Mr F I mean Santa lurking behind you in the last photo. You two are just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, you are fabulous!! it is a great place, and I think I have a freaky thing for Santa haha! x x x x
DeleteThank you :) x x x
ReplyDeletebeautiful outfit ... love the fake fur!
ReplyDeleteThank you! x x x
DeleteAhhh---love you in that black with red cape... TREMENDOUS... You look fantastic... My sweet little mother used to say to me (since I was quite heavy back then) that I looked better in solids and dark colors... I think that is true --but it's not always 'fun' to wear the dark colors --unless we had a beautiful red cape or special collar to go with them.... LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Thanks Betsy! I like to have fun with what I wear, collars and capes are a favourite of mine too! x x x
DeleteYou look gorgeous! I love your cape, and your queen of brooches!
