How exciting! Is it wrong to say I’m thrilled that you surprised us by putting together your fantastic outfit with “new” articles (new to this discussion)? It’s a treat to see how it all came together to honor the women being remembered today. Thanks to these women who sacrificed and battled (and for those who still do) to allow us to have the rights we deserve.

Today is the day!

Demonstrations all round the world against our unfair world towards women and I'm worried about coordinating colours but never mind...Basically we got together to honour many of the women who worked tirelessly for many many years as Suffragists (non-violent) and Suffragettes (who went further) and we had some eminent women speakers from the political, scientific and academic worlds come and speak (they were excellent and so inspiring).

Outfit: I wore Pucci jumper, Comme de Garcon skirt; DMs, rabbit fur jacket with the toggles, YSL Ivoire Marjorelle bag (it looked a bit like a Edwardian carpet bag with this outfit) and borrowed a beautiful violet Pagase d'H.

Usually I wear this jumper back to front because the positioning of the swirl is usually too commanding and does me no favours (white is the one bra colour I don't own, today I wore a pale grey cami with built in support) the placement of tis large swirl works as though a sash.

I centred the outfit around the perfect scarf I was loaned especially for the occasion. If was my scarf I would have worn it as a hairband wich would have looked better but I wasn't about to do that to someone else's pride and joy so I kept it very simple and it ended up like a triangle flag down the side of my skirt.

I didn't wear my Bambou Plume because it's not near the softer green in the jumper or the scarf and it was all just too much. It's good to put this oldie bag to good use too

I took this pic before I tied the scarf in a big triangle round my waist and over one hip that looked better but my stupid phone ran out of energy. I also took my hat off!

@cafecreme thanks for the beautiful London pics! It looks like we will be heading there in July - details need to be worked out but DH has always wanted to go back to Greece (he went twice as a teen, with essentially a few dollars and a backpack) so we will spend a few days on Santorini and then a few in London for me.

No details on that yet as he just decided to take the boys away for a few days at the end of this month. I think they're going to Jamaica. And then his cousin is taking us and my BIL/SIL away for a few days in May to celebrate DHs 50th. For people who love to stay home we do an awful lot of traveling!

@papertiger you looked fabulous I loved the outfit! I too agree about the bag choice.

@Moirai sending healing thoughts to your family member. [emoji254][emoji254][emoji254]

Survived the NE storm ok! We lost power for a day.

Hugs to all!

Thank you so much

Glad you survived, even being without power for a day is not easy at all.

They’re great so far! Mostly had to wear the SW boots in London due to cold weather, but the sneakers are really going to be put to the test in Portugal this weekend. Here are some more, gratuitous photos from London, including my Instagram story commentary/geotags. Would also like to note I had the bet goat cheese I’ve EVER had at Neal’s Dairy. Just phenomenal. It is now my life’s mission to figure out how to get this cheese in the US.
