Third antipodean posting to report wearing ugg boots - mine are light purple, as well as a possum and merino beanie (also purple) warm grey pants, 3 layers of polar fleece and a purple scarf. About ready to head out, just need to change into shoes (more support, less warmth).

When I was at mass recently, I was reading and dressed like an Englishmen: Shoes I bought at the Clark's store somewhere in London and everything else from head to toe came from Marks and Spencers at Oxford Circus where I had bought things to replace what British Airways had lost somewhere between LAX and Heathrow several years ago.

My necktie has butterflies on it today. Yesterday it was a stylized peacock. I thinking of flowers for tomorrow, probably daisies.
Several upthread wrote they were sky clad in reality or imagination. I find this goes poorly with vinyl seating. In my imagination, I am dressed like a Star Fleet™ officer, but not a nameless red shirt, and "making it so" as instructed by Captain Picard.

It's nice to have the chance to wear summer clothes, even if the weather has turned colder.

Quite. I am wearing a long-sleeved grey tunic (with a black vest top showing at the neck in the name of modesty), heavy black leggings and ankle boots.

Whereas here it is bright, sunny and temperatures heading into the twenties (which in Scotland equates to birds falling out of trees with heatstroke and people cautiously loosening a tweed or two).
I may even wear a skirt.

Not quite sure what the fuss is about; apart from when walking over mountains I don't think I've needed a coat during the daytime for months.
People whine too much about the British weather. It's very seldom homicidal, unlike some parts of the world, only occasionally too cold (one or two days in winter - a few more north of the border I'll grant you) and only too hot for a few weeks around July and August.

This morning - suffragette fancy dress. Long black skirt, white blouse, homemade "votes for women" green, white and purple bead necklace, hair up in a bun, large straw hat, with purple scarf tying it on, sensible black shoes. Plus non-authentic purple and white loom band bracelets.
Now - still in the long black skirt (Ł5 from Lidl - bargain!), white, purple and black long sleeved T-shirt.

How fabulous! I now have the urge to dig out an Edwardian dress pattern and make something different Why are you dressed up?
Today I am wearing a homemade maxi dress in small coral pink floral on sunflower yellow, a warm cotton and wool mix, with red Pom Pom trim. It was made from a vintage Laura Ashley pattern circa 1974. My tights are a stripey red, turquoise, purple and yellow. I also have loom bands

I took my karrimat outside and slept under the willow tree in just a t-shirt and a pair of shorts last night. The rain woke me up at about four.

On a sunny July day,like today, typically: three-quarter trousers, polo shirt, trainer-socks, canvass shoes.
On a damp or cold July day, typically: Levis, polo shirt or shirt (not tucked in), Pringle socks, brogues, Barbour jacket or Barbour Gilet . Can't say my outfits vary much from one of these two standard formats.

Sunday I got up and put on a sleeveless cotton dress and sandals over those unattractive items of underwear which don't show up under thin cotton. That did me through walking the dog, mowing the lawn, cleaning the kitchen and doing some sewing in the sweltering (all of 25 degrees) heat.
I am a) going to make more dresses like that and b) going to add pockets and sleeves to the next one. I am lightly toasted over the shoulders.
North Eest Quine, can I come to your walks dressed the part too? It sounds great!

I love you! Seventeen is my go-to 'completely ridiculous quantity' also! I'm not too bad for cold right at the moment under just two layers of merino, but I am wearing a scarf, which is a ridiculous thing to do inside, when you think about it, and I have cold keyboard hands which will need tucking between thighs when I go to bed...

Black top, black skirt, black tights, black court shoes, black jacket.
Yes, I've been to a funeral. Packed church. At least 95% of the men were in white shirt / black tie / black jacket / black or grey trousers, and about 90% of the women were in various black or black and white combinations, and the rest in navy or black-and-another-colour.
It was the funeral of a 88 year old neighbour and so a lot of those who attended are of the generation which has a "funeral suit" and an expectation of all black at funerals.
