The clothes and shoes thread.

It's great isn't it?

I wore this today. If you look closely you can see the three cut outs at the front.

I'm wearing my tropical print dress today: it looks gorgeous!

I've mastered it. If not, I wouldn't be able to leave the house.   lol...

In another thread I showed the type of gear I wear for horse riding, which are specific riding breeches and matching top.  They are stretchy and comfortable, making them ideal for the purpose.

You may recall in the photography thread I posted some pics of me and Sophia with our horses in the Forest, whilst we were wearing leggings, crop tops, blouses and cardigans (not all at once obviously, but on separate days ).  Those sessions were just for fun actually. We don't ride long distances dressed like that 

For casual wear I tend to go for leggings or jeggings, depending on my mood and occasion.  The leggings are thinner and slightly lighter weight, but the jeggings resemble skinny jeans so they give a different look.  The rest of my wardrobe consists of a variety of skirts, dresses, blouses, t-shirts, heels, trainers, ballet flats, sandals, etc., etc.  Most of the time I go bare-legged around the house and for mundane tasks such as shopping.  Other times, and nights out with friends I wear thigh-high stockings (no suspender belt) or tights (pantyhose for our US members).  You really don't want to see inside my wardrobe.  It looks like a fashion nightmare 

Fortunately, we have a body shape that carries them off.  We work hard to keep ourselves in trim though, walking daily in the Forest over all sorts of terrain, including some quite steep hills.  We don't do jogging though as that gives more stress on the knee joints.
I am 29 years old and Sophia is one year older, so we are trying to keep ourselves fit and healthy for as long as we can.

We don't tend to shop for clothes online any more.  It is so disappointing when they arrive and they don't fit properly, even ordering the same size from different sellers.  We prefer to go into a store and look at the clothes and try them on.

Flickr shows 2 pics altogether?

Yes, that's more than 2.

You both look lovely.

Thank you 

The Avocets are regular visitors to Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve, along with a wide variety of waders and song birds.

We have spent hours here just sitting watching them.

I wore a black dress with a  daisy print today. 

But ended up adding a red cardi

Leggings are my preferred choice for most of the time, I practically live in them.

I wear dresses for more formal occasions and eating out with friends.  It really depends where we are going though, and I tend to dress up/down for the particular establishment 

If I can, I prefer dresses.

If they are there first I would wait until they have finished browsing 

Well thank-you ladies. I was also taught to wait my turn but yesterday while I was looking for a tshirt for OH a woman just grabbed the rail and started turning it her way ..It must have been my tiredness or the pain but for once I decided I wasnt having it and pulled back my way,,,all that hard work must be building muscles because the rack whizzed back so fast I think she got friction burns!

You don't think that punching her on the nose would have used up less energy?
