Okay – right this minute – what are you wearing?

Moi, from the bottom up: bare feet, Next jeans, turquoise, V-neck, sleeveless top with a small sort of lacy appliqué decoration (one of those wrinkly fabrics you don't have to iron), a teal shrug, full face paint and blow-dried hair, plus two-tone watch, blue bead bracelet, pau shell pendant and earrings.

Oh yes! forgot about the reading glasses which hang round my neck when not in use.

Bronze Hotter sandals, linen mix M&S trousers (greyish), cotton shirt, checked pastel pinks, greens and purple (much nicer than it sounds) with elbow-length sleeves, part-rimless glasses, rose quartz drop earrings, steel watch, antique diamond ring. Hair now very damp because the weather has gone very humid and is still quite hot. Make-up long since disappeared in the heat.

Baggy, loose-fitting, black cotton trousers. Deep rose zip-up top. Black ballerina shoes. No make-up, or jewellery, apart from my wedding band. Hair swept up and bound with a black velvet scrunchie. A thick har mist has descended on the sea.

Annobel Wed 30-May-12 16:42:57

That's very strange, Maniac. My comment on your post has also vanished! confused

I am a cheap skate - Matalan trousers (but size 14!!!), Decathlon tee shirt (€3.50), glasses, cheap, very large watch, my one remaining piece of good jewellery, a 1 ct. diamond ring, as I have given all the rest to my daughters and grand-daughters. It has been very hot here today, so no cardigan.
And to think I used to swan around Monaco in a Rolls!

soop Wed 30-May-12 16:57:47

Greatnan grin Had you used to be a "bling lover" or did you wear your jewels with Princess Grace like style? And size 14 seems perfectly agreeable to me.

Elegran Wed 30-May-12 17:12:16

Size 14 is slender.

Clarke's sandals, Lands End linen trousers, black cotton v neck tee shirt, my mother in law's wedding ring, diamond engagement ring, diamond ring given to me by my husband in our 40th wedding anniversary ( I don't like rubies!) Large watch with purple strap, rimless specs, any make up left over from application at 7 am along with the remains of Clinique Aromatics applied at the same time. I haven't looked but I guarantee it's not a pretty sight. One of the benefits of being 63 is that I like to look nice to start with but can then forget it.

Very old brown leather Birkenstock sandals, blue linen skirt, red short sleeved M & S t-shirt, thin gold chain, medic-alert pendant (I'm diabetic), watch, glasses.

Anagram Wed 30-May-12 18:16:05

I'm very tempted to say that I'm sitting here in the nude, except for a fetching pair of chandelier earrings and a diamond ankle bracelet, because I haven't mentioned it before but I'm a naturist.

(But it's not true. I'm waiting for bedtime so I can just say I'm in my dressing-gown grin)

Ariadne Wed 30-May-12 18:22:07

My beloved crocs sandals (bought in Durban and very stroppy) black crops, black vest top, white Per Una embroidered cotton shirt. Gold rings, gold chain, man's gold watch. Been to France for the day, and am about to swap the lot for lounging stuff!

jeni Wed 30-May-12 18:28:04

I note very few of us are wearing dresses or skirts! Moi, I never feel happy in trousers!

soop Wed 30-May-12 18:29:54
