It occurred to me the other week that I was becoming a tad scruffy. There is a fine line between casual / comfortable and scruffy, and as my house is currnetly full of dust from building work, the gavel fell on the side of scruffy.
In mitigation, I felt I needed a pencil skirt.
I bought this from LK Bennett (Cissy skirt - in sale)
I also bought a belt which will work with the skirt and also over the beloved jeggings for
Hope you are all well. I will look forward to catching up with others' posts later.
Lovely to hear an update - I hear you on the building ...ours is about to start on Monday! X
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your work - it will be worth it in the end (I keep hoping and telling myself!) x
DeleteI hear what you are saying, if I don't think about taking pics I do spend most days in a tracksuit!
ReplyDeleteTracksuit sounds positively glam compared to me of late - I won't confess what sort of state I've been in!! THink muck and dust :-(
DeleteLovely skirt.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteHey, nice to see you back here again!
ReplyDeleteNoce to be back, won't be able to do much for a while, but determined to make a (small) effort and at least 'show up'!! x
DeleteHi... I work in the fashion world all week and on my days off, I love that I dont have to dress up!. So usually a big scruff bag if I am just around the house.....Love it!! xx
ReplyDeleteAhh - glad I am not alone :-) x
DeleteHi, Im looking for a lovely pencil skirt but Im after something with a little flippyness at the bottom. Love the belt.
ReplyDeleteooh I saw a nice one in Jigsaw which may sit the bill, it had a wide / subtle pleated hem - sounds odd but looked really nice.
DeleteI'm mostly in a beauty tunic working from home or jogging bottoms, so don't worry!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharron xx
DeleteHope you're well Anna and lovely to get a little post from you.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how even though I love being scruffy, there comes a point when it's past the point of scruffy and positively shambolic. That was me this week and my response was to wear some makeup. A pencil skirt would be far too much for me - I can't remember when I last wore one!
Hi Sue - little and lame I fear... but as I said above, just determined to make an effort and 'show up'. Make-up works so well as scruffiness antidote too - though I struggle to imagine you n the levels of scruff-dom I have been inhabiting :-) x
