Current state of mind … Do I or don’t I keep ridiculously expensive hoodie delivered in my favourite black box, which is now cooling off, slightly ajar but with contents intact, in my wardrobe? Spending this much on fleece cotton, destined for wearing to school pick up, netball courtside and a single more formal event – juxtaposed […]

posted by lifeaswewearit
One of the best things about being old? You don’t have to hunt down vintage designer items, you just pull out the first one you ever bought. In my case, in 1997. So, when I started noticing the Chloe Drew bag I had a little deja vu. (Which was fortunate as I certainly didn’t have […]

Mid/Life/’Slashie’
posted by lifeaswewearit
I love this quote. I need to remind myself of it every time I worry that I’m too old, too invisible, too late to do something. (Not so much wear something, I’m pretty good at staying in touch with my inner thirty year old). So I guess it’s a good quote to introduce my first post […]

Monday Shopping List
posted by lifeaswewearit
Did I mention that I’m self-employed? Well, for the past few months it’s more like self-unemployed and all sorts of onerous adjustments have been made. Simply the worst is that I am on a shopping hiatus until further notice (like, someone pays me to do some work for them). It doesn’t really […]
