Returning to My Roots

I started this blog as a place to explore female fashion. The blog detoured this year, unavoidably, into a chronicle of my life-changing vision-loss. That was, however, just a temporary off-ramp: I plan to return to fashion-blogging as soon as possible. 


Since I can't create and photograph an outfit right now I thought I'd pull one out of the past to re-capture the vibe I want for this place. Joyful, not sad. Feminine, not medical. Here's the ensemble, festive and a little sparkly.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    I missed those legs!!!! You look amazing in this dress- a sweetheart neckline is such a beautiful one and suits you to a tee!!! I look forward to seeing you in many gorgeous outfits whenever you can manage them my lovely friend!x
    Wishing you a merry Christmas Ally and hope all is well for you in 2024, as well as can be. You are a dear friend and I hope for joy for you, in whatever unexpected form it may come!

      Old banger: a very old and not very good vehicle.

      Banger: a sausage.

      That's a banger: a really good tune or something very good.

    While it's been an understandable change in your posting, it is a joyous thing indeed to see your smiling face. Even if it's a throwback!

    I hope you had a happy Christmas and have a smashing new year!
