They make people looke like Christmas trees or fir cones or something out of Dr Who. No-one would ever actually WEAR them.<br /><br />I like what you wear (or what I've seen you in). They suit you. And they are NOT "pieces"!Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-18556491929980930912011-02-20T22:16:57.729+00:002011-02-20T22:16:57.729+00:00Aaargh!

Well the statement I tend to be making with my 'pieces' is I dislike and despise fashion. <br />Sorry to sound snippy but the whole business of clothes often gets me hot under the collar - usually because I can't find anything I like because what I like seems never seem to be in fashion...Alishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406189984167289987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-24353672497718179602011-02-20T21:57:33.724+00:002011-02-20T21:57:33.724+00:00Aliya - recycle.

Hi, ...Aliya - recycle. Or wear them/it with pride!<br /><br />Hi, Yvonne. Brown and black are good. A lot of my pieces are brown (and black).<br /><br />Hi, Misha. Glad you agree!<br /><br />Tim - I've often wondered about this "property" thing. When did it start?<br />And no. No interest in the - er - property. But then we haven't put it on the market yet. And I'm getting (very) cold feet about the whole thing.Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-13565517361150455442011-02-20T21:47:18.182+00:002011-02-20T21:47:18.182+00:00I have a similar vexation in the way that houses a...I have a similar vexation in the way that houses are invariably now referred to as "property", particularly by estate agents and those awful "escape to the country".<br /><br />You then get smug gits who somehow have £1.5m to spend and turn their noses up at some perfectly reasonable house saying "We are looking for a larger property". Like a warehouse?<br /><br />Is there any interest in your property yet, Frances?Tim Strettonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598897603628943741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-79427064612149687812011-02-20T20:48:43.868+00:002011-02-20T20:48:43.868+00:00Hahaha I also think that it is utter rubbish.
Bu...Hahaha I also think that it is utter rubbish. <br /><br />But... if my clothes have become pieces, I no longer have a wardrobe. <br /><br />I now have a puzzle. <br /><br />How is that for a great excuse not to toss anything out in spring?<br /><br />;-)Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-14465371598511033652011-02-20T19:55:27.289+00:002011-02-20T19:55:27.289+00:00Frances, I so agree!

Having sworn off malls and such, clothing means little to me, other then comfort and warmth for my frozen limbs.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-995129680089354842011-02-20T19:09:08.757+00:002011-02-20T19:09:08.757+00:00I don't have pieces either.
