I finally purchased a warm-enough dress. Thank the Lord, sweater dresses are now in fashion again. So this is a snappy black one, above the knee in length and with a vivid red abstract floral patter on the front. Worn with lace fishnet pantyhose (it's not -that- cold just yet) and the only comfortable pair of black heeled pumps I own. Topped with a long black woolen duster.

I presume this is divided by a common language, but I am not quite sure what I make of going to church carrying a black version of a lambswool duster.
If you think that is bad my actual image was of yellow dusters.

I thought about that -- duster is like boot or vest, one of those one language divided by a single tongue words. The duster I was wearing is long black wool with long sleeves, but it has no buttons or ties. It just hangs open, or is held shut by my snuggling arms. I bought it at a yard sale and if I were really provident I would take out the tattered lining and insert a new one, but I am too lazy.

black and white print top, black cardigan, tennis shoes (trainers to some of you), and black knit sweat pants. Yeah, I know. Bite me, I'm post-flu right now and as cranky as hell, and the only thing I'm interested in is surviving the service without biting somebody else's head off because I'm wearing uncomfortable clothes.

Are you a man, L'organist or just Annie Hallish in style?
I wish I has a duster to wear. Mine are all about getting the cobwebs off the cabinet tops.
I wore black silky trousers and a bright red collared sweater to match the red blush and lipstick I like to wear around Christmas. A few years ago I quit trying to look sexy and started trying to look like my new idol -- Mrs. Santa Claus.

Old walking trousers a size or 2 too large with thermal base layer underneath, Fairport's Cropredy Convention t-shirt, trainers. Sweater and waterproof were on a hook on the side most of the time.
OK, I was in there this morning to ring a quarter peal for service, and if I'm in a church on a Sunday morning I'm ringing, so I always dress for the job at hand. Given the heating system in there, thermals are a Good Thing.

Cargo shorts, blue converse sneakers, singlet and short-sleeve shirt. The shirt was undone and only really there to add a level of neatness(ish) on top of the singlet. It was removed for the car journey home and stayed off the rest of the day.
The singlet and shirt combo, especially if the shirt is checked, is known in our house as the "gay cowboy" look.

Black narrow jeans and one of my collection of dark coloured T-shirts; I think it might have been my Green Man one. What I always wear when not on the bike or at work. Work makes me wear horrible flappy trousers and those shirt things with collars, which I loathe. Fortunately they don't make me wear a tie, at which point I'd be looking for a new job because I hate them with a passion.

Didn't go as my church didn't have use of the building this week. Could've visited somewhere else, but it was pouring with rain. So had I ventured out, it would have been walking trousers and a microfleecy with an anorak on top.
I might also have taken a towel in my bag.
