The Plan is rocking along nicely.
Well, mostly nicely. I’m afraid I have been less than strict about the wine consumption, but I been a slave to the exercise – religiously walking to and from SML and running / yoga-ing with alarming regularly.
I’ve also tried to be more mindful of my work attire. It would be difficult to count the number of compliments on my outfit I received on Monday because there were so very many. I wore a size 20 katies shirt (sourced from St Vinnies) as a dress with footless tights, chunky necklace and flats.
The compliments also came aplenty on Tuesday when I wore a dusky-pinky baby-doll dress I bought back when I had my hair cut short.
Clearly this just confirms that the look needs updating. Unfortunately when I went searching for new items in DJs on Tuesday at lunch I came up with nought.
The quest (and the exercise) continues.
===============
Being a teen in the 80s1, I avidly collected every edition of Dolly magazine from 1980-1982.
I pored over each issue, I cut out pictures and attached them to my walls and ceiling, I spent a good, long while sketching the fashion photographs. Dolly was (utterly horrifyingly in retrospect) an inspiration.
So it came to be that I was nostalgically browsing through this amazing blog and came across this fashion shoot from 1981 (I totally had that issue).
Regular readers will know that I am dead keen on the local history (if nothing else, you should totes click on those links).
So I was delighted to recognise our immediate surrounds amongst the fashion!

My powers of observation, they are astounding. Truly, the Private Detective industry is all the poorer by my absence.
