I love the blouse and glittery shoes you've paired it with and the blue biker jacket is a fab accompaniment.I think it looks like a party outfit. It was very clever of you to make the embellishments that make the trousers so unique. <br /><br />Hope you're not too cold and wet where you are...<br />xxxVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-58580625707516651112018-01-12T06:49:46.557+00:002018-01-12T06:49:46.557+00:00I was so surprised that the series became such an ...I was so surprised that the series became such an addiction for us, although it was lovely to have a common interest as opposed to the routine of me on my blog and him watching sport.<br /><br />As I say, I have these little creative whims and have to follow them when they take shape.

In our little backwater the disco era hung on well into the 80's Suzanne - in fact we're still waiting for Punk and New Wave to arrive! <br /><br />I have to agree with you about the joy of a customised item; it really does make the outfit a bit more special. <br /><br />And yes, we've already decided that we'll go back to the start just to get another GOT fix in the meantime.

I just don't have the patience for something that complex - it would sit around, nagging on my conscience and inducing guilt, half-done. I have the greatest admiration for you.
