the joy of the SWISH (day 7!)

I really ought to be putting photos up here as I got some serious booty at the swish last night.  Do you know about swishing? Its just SO COOL!!!  FABULOUS way to get new outfits!  Get your girlfriends together, everyone brings all the stuff they just don't wear anymore (for what ever reason) and its a frenzy of clothes, wine and laughter.  You get feedback, "does this top work?" NO! and someone else with a different body shape tries it and it looks amazing (grr I SO loved the glittery top - but it seriously looked rank on me and gorgeous on her) 

But I did luck out.  I actually got a cardigan that I had been umming and ahing about buying about a year ago.  I loved it, but they didn't have it in my size and I was reluctant to splash out on something that in all honesty was giving an ugly squeeze on my upper arms.  Its a spidery swirly lopsided All Saints thing.  I am seriously happy.  I also got 2 great plain tee shirts, a pair of jeans, a pair of red jeans, a new furry hat, a dark blue cardigan, a stripey top, a strapless dress (needs a little work) and the most AMAZINGly beautiful velvet jacket which I think was some sample from a designer showroom.  Will do a fashion show I promise.

But then my cold which was a bit sneezy and snotty, got worse and worse until today, I was round at a pal's house, and found myself unable to speak from pain in my ear and throat and sitting holding my head in my hands.  She gave me a lemsip, bless her, and that really helped, and then by the time I got home, I had to give up on the idea of going to yoga school and head for bed and a 4 hour kip instead.  Am still feeling pretty rank.  Though definitely not so bad, as I haven't had any cold n flu tablets, lemsip or anything for hours.

Ah well, at least I have a WHOLE NEW WARDROBE.  Which is a feeling I love, and I KNOW it doesn't last, but that feeling of having a whole host of gorgeous new clothes to wear..... its really nice.  And the best thing is, it didn't cost me a penny....
