I am a trendsetter, apparently I did this years ago.

You look fab my friend xx
Thank you Mags. x
My hair is now white, I stopped colouring it during lockdown and I have kept with it.
I still have the frock though, and come the warmer weather....I will be drawn into wearing it again.
Floral frocks were de de rigueur in the 1980s. Next made some lovely ones.
I used to love Next clothing....not so much nowadays.
I just ordered a Joe Brown flowery summer frock, sadly, I look bloody awful in it, so it's going back.
A lot of their stuff looks like market gear now....and as for M&S...
Which one? I've got a few Joe Brown frocks and some Gabrielle Parker.
I wouldn't be seen dead in half their gear. Dowdy fuddy duddy clothing that puts decades on you. I don't know what's gone wrong with British fashion.
British fashion has died. All made in China now.
Sadly, it didn't Mags. I looked too busty and too hippy, probably cos I am not a size 8/10 like the model.
The material was lovely though.
