Tell Us About - Schooldays

Dear friends.  It's time for another Tell Us About challenge, where 10 bloggers from around the world respond to a prompt each month.

I'm thrilled that we're back to full strength with the addition of US blogger Anne M Bray.

This month we're ruminating over Schooldays,  a prompt set by Penny from Frugal Fashion Shopper.

We can approach the topic from any angle we choose.  I imagined there would be several reminiscences about schooldays so I decided instead to pick just a few comedic moments from school - and Sunday school  (which counts as a school), including one from my mum. 

Essential Striped Knitted Dress

 And Wow on Wednesday

Gifted Fashion 

Dear friends.  A striped knitted dress is your best friend, when you find the right one.  That's an important caveat, because they're often a fine, clingy knit that highlights the lumps and bumps.  I don't know about you, but I've got to an age now where I refuse to wear "control pants."

I'm glad to say I've found the perfect striped knitted dress, and it's from Damart.  

Now You See Us

 Reviewed: Women Artists in Britain 1520-1920 at Tate Britain

Dear friends.  I popped over to Tate Britain in the last few days of this exhibition.  Normally I record a few photos and thoughts on Instagram Stories, but this exhibition is so important, so beautifully curated and so inspiring I thought I would devote a blog post to it.

The title, Now You See Us, is wonderful because it sums up the issue.  Women artists were largely underrated and quickly forgotten. It was apparent from seeing who owns the various paintings.  Very few had been loaned from the big international art museums. It was good to see that many of the paintings were on loan from King Charles. 

The Blues in October?

 And Wow on Wednesday

Dear friends.  A lot of us get SAD  (seasonal affective disorder), or the plain old blues, at this time of year. I've got a few tips on how to find some joy in Autumn/Fall and Winter. Plus I'm wearing blue in three different outfits.  Clever juxtaposition, huh?
