Haven't planned what I'm wearing tomorrow. 2' snow outside so safe to say I know I'll be wearing boots on my feet.

So many compliments on my beaver hat today (this wasn't today but it's the same hat). So strange I've worn it dozens of times without much fuss. Suddenly in a snow storm everyone loved it (perhaps they all wanted one?). Someone in a dept store said I looked like a magical tree fairy, I said that was just the look I was going for (er not really - I was going for stay warm/be seen).

They were all jealous.

It was swirling snow when I walked out of Heathrow and COLD!

Stay warm! Drink tea.

Here are the cardi and the two dresses. No pics of the skirts yet.

I really need to do a purge of my old un-used clothes so I can only see my fun new items.
Genie, I’ve developed a rule for new clothing items...one in and one out. If I buy three then three out. It works as it makes me go through the closets and drawers. I’ve never wished that I’d kept something when I do this. It keeps me grounded in knowing I don’t have so much stuff. That overwhelms me. Lol.
 
Yes, it's frigid temps here. Pop into Uniqlo and buy one of their packable down jackets/coats and the Ultra Warm Heattech to stay warm. (It also won't take up much space.) Most stores have Spring items out for sale instead. Joys of the fashion calendar/retail. :rolleyes:

So funny to see all these turquoise and coral Summer tees everywhere. Mannequins in M&S window with only beachwear and underwear on all look like they're going to suffer from hypothermia
 
Morning all! Big travel day today - heading to the UK for Part I of my 2018 travel adventures. I’m pretty impressed with myself that I managed to stay well under the baggage weight limit, which leaves me plenty of room to work with for the way back [emoji6]. I am, however, unprepared for the weather that awaits me! I left my very warm weatherproof boots and winter jacket behind since one almost never needs those things there...and lo and behold the UK has been pounded by a rare snowstorm *face palm*.

In addition to errant snow storms, my other pet peeve of the moment is people who talk on speakerphone or watch things on their computer with no headphones while waiting at the gate.
Oh, I look forward to "traveling" with you! Keep us updated, if you are able.

Hope you are OK and warm enough?

The uniqlo is a great idea, thank you! It can never hurt to have an easily packable winter coat in my wardrobe.

Whether I am dressed warm enough remains to be seen! I’m in the lobby of my hotel having a coffee and pastry while I wait to meet my sister. I’m wearing my new long black wool Ralf Lauren coat - it was either that or my little quilted Barbour. I slept in a bit today because of jet lag, but I have to say flying during the day time as opposed to the red eye is the way to go! I was up until about 3 or so but used the time to unpack and get settled, then woke up refreshed today!

I love the day time flights. They are so much easier. And you don’t have to worry if your room is ready when you get there.

Have a great day
