This monthly feature is a great way to say thank-you to a reader who's been in touch. I love to read your comments, to hear what you think about the outfit or to get your thoughts on whatever I've evoked or inspired you to say. Some readers prefer to be less on show and often send me a message by email. Judy has contacted me both ways and you'll see her comments under the name of Marilee in previous posts. During our chats Judy came up with the idea that I feature some tartan as she recalls my very first post where I wore my, rather ancient, red tartan tights as a slightly anxious looking newbie. See that post here. I can't believe I've neglected my heritage for so long and that I have to be prompted to show you the finest of materials from my homeland.
Yes, Polly was still at the helm here, making me erupt with laughter at her constant efforts to stop me talking.
I do hope that Judy is happy with the tartan styling today, but would also like to think that I've not delivered something as traditionally Scottish as she had imagined. Yes, I toyed with the idea of getting my kilt out, and hey it might look fab with this shot of cerise, but the trousers were my first idea, and I'm rather pleased with the outcome.
Outfit details - jacket: Kate Moss at Topshop (charity shopped), trousers: H&M, blouse: charity shopped, boots: Office, belt: charity shopped, necklace and silver/pink ring : charity shopped, other rings, gift.

This is my weekend offering for you as I failed to post yesterday and didn't want to keep you waiting until tomorrow. Winter posts may well be a bit fits and starts like this for various reasons - weather, opportunity and of course, lack of Polly. I still have a few outfits waiting my draft box to help eke things out over the next few weeks, but they'll soon be gone. Trying to get out and about in good daylight is the real challenge when I'm at work all week, but I do hope to get a session in today provided the weather improves. It's currently grey and damp as I write this, and I'm going to delay my morning swim until the high tide as it's my day off. Maybe the sun will make an appearance by then. I'll leave you with this shot I took yesterday morning on my way to the beach. The sun was just rising over the Great Pool. Have a lovely weekend and see you all next week!
