My friend-thank you!! I should have mentioned that I am 5'9" tall and all shirt/ blouse sleeves seem to be too short so rolling them up has been a way of life since about age 14. I can understand how they could get in the way - I say hire some one to clean out the drain!!! Have a great day and tak for the Danish-which I am sure is completely incorrect. How did you learn the language? Are you originally from Denmark? Is Danish taught in UK schools? Curious today- and thanks again!

It's one thing to make a decision based on holding an item 5 seconds in front of you, or trying it on for 20 seconds, but I think the test driving approach is going to work for me. Glad you liked the jumper and I do like your idea about the boots. I'm not blessed with super long legs like some but I'm excited to give it a go!<br />Today's try out was a long white shirt but I continue to say naaahh each time I wear it, so maybe it's a ditcher.<br />Have a nice week, hugs from Chez Pout, x.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-33850642729266806922017-11-07T11:21:17.807+00:002017-11-07T11:21:17.807+00:00My dear sweet friend, the Lord and Lady thank you ...My dear sweet friend, the Lord and Lady thank you hugely for giving The Pout a new saucy persona!<br />Yes, I too learned to avoid shopping with friends as I ended up with THEIR clothes in MY wardrobe!

Normally I love sorting through things and clearing them but dealing with those forgotten items in the wardrobe is a different matter. Why? I have no idea! May I should tackle this again but with a cold-hearted approach; they are things and do not have feelings...but I do! Ah well, we shall think about it some more :o) I do love your uber-long jumper/dress and the way you sport it in the photo. I would even add knee-length boots over leggings/jeggings. Not too keen on the uniqlo jacket; feels a bit stiff and officy (my opinion only).

Aren't you the saucy one with your Last Chance Challenge and Eartha's racy little tune? I love it! <br />I used the Maria Kondo technique last January and got rid of bags and bags of clothing. It felt so good to be rid of things that just didn't work anymore or really never did. I have a bad habit of being inspired by others who are not at all built like me and I make terrible purchase decisions. I am seriously trying to change that habit but I guess Americans need time too. (wink, wink)<br />Yes, your Florida friend says tweak away at those rules. It's almost like Survivor - who will make it to the end on 12/1?

I like your idea to spend a little time wi...Hello,<br /><br />I like your idea to spend a little time with your garments and think I should probably do the same but BEFORE I actually purchase them!! I am usually pretty ruthless about purging the "not good in any way ever" items-especially if they feel at all complicated to wear. It has taken me years to get to this point however. One recent change (due to shape changing at "midlife") is that I no longer wear t-shirts outside of the house, gym, or garden. I really like a fitted cotton blouse with sleeves where I can control the length depending on how hot or cold I am. I never buy 3/4 length sleeves on a blouse.<br /><br />When it comes to my husband's wardrobe clean out, well....I can toss his things in a matter of seconds and most of the time he never knows the items have gone...that tells you how large his wardrobe currently is!!! <br /><br />Enjoyed your post as always and much appreciated your editing out reptile references in post last week!! See, I can type it-just can't see it or wear it. Did you see that Mary Crown Princess of Denmark wears reptile pumps frequently ?! Don't know how she does it!!! Have a great day Pout:)Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277935750098335984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-79626320707458891722017-11-06T13:37:20.575+00:002017-11-06T13:37:20.575+00:00Glad you gave this fab jacket a chance - you look ...Glad you gave this fab jacket a chance - you look fantastic.
