The result on pics is often a blonde mix which means my colour changes from day to day. Needless to say, I recommend it as it's exciting to discover what your hair wants to do left to its own devices!<br />Hugs my lovely, x.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-70089868951319321422019-01-30T15:57:41.145+00:002019-01-30T15:57:41.145+00:00You know I love that sweater dress on you Mary!

I love your silvery hair, it is so attractive on you ( seeing you blonde and silver) I would go that route if it didn't wash me out.

You're right about the cashmere, I guess. I tend to look out for the sales bargains.

But we all had green khaki car coats, the same, in my family for the regular Sunday outing in the car. Cashmere, now there's one of my life's pleasures. It lasts for years if you treat it right. Sadly a lot of today's cashmere is nowhere near as good as the quality of what we bought 10 years ago, but in real terms the prices are lower.Gail Is This Mutton?https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624214724309633433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-65915896893190250742019-01-25T19:32:05.933+00:002019-01-25T19:32:05.933+00:00I've been wearing lots of warm things and laye...I've been wearing lots of warm things and layers too!

But as in the example above, the pieces are mostly bought in sales - the duck egg cardi was in a sale at £17 in 2008 and I was amazed at the price (perhaps Arizona is too hot for cashmere!). <br /> <br />You'll like this: when I was still working and TP was already retired he phoned me up at work saying "the house is really cold", expecting me to face in. My response? "Put some gloves on" !! But I do cave in when it's REALLY cold and this time of year I light a fire by 5pm.<br /><br />You stay warm too sweetie, hugs x.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-37141280466394977472019-01-23T23:04:45.183+00:002019-01-23T23:04:45.183+00:00I've been searching for a good knitted dress a...I've been searching for a good knitted dress and never thought of Monsoon.
