Fashion doesn't get me....

.... and the feeling is mutual

I have never been 1 of you uber fashionable ladies out there. (and yes that is most of you my dear readers)

I am not sure if it is because my body image isn't up to scratch or perhaps because I am just too practical when I shop.

Every now and then I will buy am item that is the fashion right here and now and know that next year this time people would rather be caught naked than be seen wearing said item. "this is SO last season"

Generally speaking - I buy my clothes with the following in mind:

• Is it comfortable
• Does it suit my body
• Is it a good quality garment that will last
• Is it good value for money

I have some clothing that is over 3 years old that I still wear (if it still fits me)

With this in mind - I recently fell in love with a gorgeous flowy turquoise top.
Because I need work clothes I allowed myself to buy it. Teamed with black pants - I think the outfit is great for the office.
Tee says it looks like I am wearing a Nightie, but I nevertheless bought it. It hides my rolls and the colour is gorgeous - I can't help thinking that perhaps it makes me look pregnant? Should I have listened to Tee?

Thoughts please?

In other news: Shez arrives tomorrow and we visit the Bird Gardens and then off to Melrose Arch for dinner at the Protea Fire and Ice. I am so excited to see her.
