Life Lately: Teal, Tartan, Violets

 & Tuesday Twirl 

Is This Mutton in corduroy teal dress with aqua accessories

Dear friends. A mixed hors d'oeuvres today. I'm sharing which outfit I wore to the school reunion, a recent cord dress acquisition, a perfume search and more.

First up is a soft corduroy dress.  It's exactly the type of dress I look for in winter:  not too long and with a gathered waist that helps create definition where none exists.  Plus corduroy is On Trend, not that most of us care too much about that.

Choose My Outfit for the School Reunion

& Tuesday Twirl 

Is This Mutton invites readers to choose one of three colourful outfits to wear to a school reunion

Dear friends. It's a big day for me on Saturday, a school reunion! It's been organised by me and my bestie from the sixth form. We were reunited last year when I began tracking down our alumni. 

I'm looking for your help to select my outfit.

October Book Reviews

 

Is This Mutton's Book Reviews for October 2025

Dear friends.  An exciting month for me as I was nominated for UK Book Blogger of the Year.  I must add however that it was a LONG long list and I didn't make the short list.  I didn't expect to,  because although I review books extensively on NetGalley, I'm not a dedicated book blogger. 

I simply read books and share my thoughts with you because I know most of you are avid readers.

Many thanks to those who voted for me!

Stay Dry in Style

 & #TuesdayTwirl

Is This Mutton on the joys of staying dry in a purple raincoat

Dear friends. I bought this gorgeous purple trench a few weeks ago and still haven't had chance to wear it.  We had a very dry summer and autumn is continuing in the same vein.

But at least I have it for when rain inevitably strikes.

I spotted the trench coat at Hobbs and knew I must act quickly. What I've learnt about purple is that when retailers have any of the bright true purple shade, it flies out of the door.  I don't understand why they don't stock more of it.
