Note: I have edited this post on Saturday 13/01/24 because I was too tired to write it yesterday!

Welcome to the post. So, I have actually been to my hairdresser and now look reasonably civilised again! I hadn’t been able to face getting my hair done for months, so I am feeling rather pleased with myself. Elder Son kindly accompanied me and, afterwards, we walked through our town to a café and both had a drink and a lovely piece of cake 😄. I felt very tired when we arrived home, but also very pleased as if I had really achieved something for once.

Anyway, here are the before and after photos, as usual:

Oh, please excuse the awful lighting! I take these quick photos on my iPad and don’t have any idea how to edit them without making a mess. The after photo was taken on Saturday lunchtime, so my hair had been slept on, as it were. So not a pristine “straight from the hairdresser’s” look. Never mind, you get the idea: short and neat and easy to look after.

This is a collage of the outfit…

The purple cotton jumper and the grey cord trousers are by Lands’ End, the handbag and bracelet by Massaccesi, the pewter shoes by Hotter, and the grey coat by Masai. I had intended to wear my gorgeous purple suede boots, but didn’t have the energy to dig them out from the depths of my wardrobe. In any case, this was a nice ensemble and I felt really good wearing these items – so that is all that matters!

Let’s have a larger image of the gorgeous Hermès cashmere/silk shawl, Plumes en Fête:

I hope you have enjoyed this post, even if it was a day late.

Love and best wishes,

Anne
