Great colour palette and good styling. You look good even in restroom selfies

Please do let me know how the CF tshirt wears.
I just looked up local retailers for Majestic and they have them at Holts - must be on the 3rd floor that I never check out. Anyway, I am going to be in the area on Friday, so can check them out to see if that will be a good option for me.
I would like to find a go to brand of basic tshirts in neutral colours. I don't like anything faded, distressed or sheer - especially if they are going to look stretched out in a couple of washes anyway. The few good shirts I have zealously guarded - pink tartan, burberry etc but I really need to stock up on some more.
It's been (oh dear, many) years, but there used to be a silk import shop in the basement of that sprawling mall-type building across from the Showbox. I bought a gorgeous purply-pink silk blazer covered in pink roses there for some trivial amount of money. Not that I'm recommending braving the tourist crowds, but if you're in the neighborhood anyway it might be worth checking out.
Fabulous! Is that a musette tango I spy in the corner? I'm noticing a lot of classic LV bags around town - maybe it's time I pulled out my papillon for spring - it's the DE smaller size and I'd put it away for a while/Posting my Dress-up early - JQ csgm for school function.

As much as I hate taking selfies, and hate making DH take pictures of me, and hate seeing my real self instead of my imaginary self which is welded into my self image file from years past, I do think the whole exercise is helpful. I can see myself just like I could see and evaluate a sofa, and I can see what I need to work on to improve my appearance. For example, I really have to start wearing lipstick. So let the torture continue.
That's brave of you. Which sounds like snark, but I really mean it. My self image file is wayyyy out of date and "lose 100 lbs" is sadly a slower fix than "wear lipstick". That wouldn't be a bad start for me, though.
Thank you. I have 20-25 to lose and it is hard to see my thick middle and my arms, but this is a supportive group. (Far less critical of me than I am of myself). I have never been on to spend time looking in the mirror, and when I do, I just don't see myself objectively like i do in photographs. It is not fun for me to participate in DUT, but it is very helpful in terms of motivation to work on myself.
What a beautiful bag with lovely provenance. I like this look - I enjoy matching colour in my accessories because it seems to pull everything together. And I think you look beautiful and elegant.
History of the bra in pictures. Makes you wonder where things will go from here.

Thank you. I actually need to stop by that area to pick something up anyway. No, it is not fish
It sounds like MF could fit this bill for you. I know they do for me! I would just make sure that the label just says MF since I think their collabs with department stores are much lower quality. If you are going to Paris any time soon, there are standalone MF stores, and they are so much cheaper there than they are here.
I totally agree with cathe_kim on not owning a denim jacket. I think a leather jacket can serve the same purpose. I have other pieces that are lighter for warmer weather (an olive cotton cargo-style jacket and a black wrap hoodie). Denim just doesn’t seem to work on me, I do like my layers to be a bit less stiff.
Genie, thank you for the Shanghai Tang mention. I have been on the lookout for Chinese and/or Kimono-style layers. I am now on my FOURTH viewing of “This Is Us” (because everyone in the house wants to watch it with me, including my children, but no one can watch at the same time), and Beth has this gorgeous embroidered little jacket she hangs around the house in and I LOVE it.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Not really DUT but tried a new look today - a lightweight cotton top with blouson sleeves. This is my first time trying the volume-sleeve trend, and I like it! Also wearing my new Respoke espadrilles because we are finally having some nice weather.
