So I try to integrate as much as I can but integrating beautiful ball gowns into retirement life is perhaps a challenge too far! <br />My top tip is if you want to avoid this dilemma in retirement, start easing off buying both from your 50s onwards.<br />Thank you for your sweet words. Oh, you've just missed out on putting pearls on your birthday list, but they're on mine 🙌.

I don't know why he was complaining, I encouraged him to do his crossword during the wardrobe changes :-).<br />Yes, more and more lately I am thinking that if I WANT to wear something more smart than the occasion calls for, why not? Let's DO it! Err, does that involve more shopping?
