MrsM, we need to review your diary
and plan your wardrobe.
Pull yourself together,
it is no use looking wan...
1.
Day Out in Town
with Helen and Caroline.
A Smart Casual outfit.
Try not to dress identically.
2.
Trip to Rome.
There will be sightseeing.
A stylish coat is essential.
3.
Meeting the fabulous bb.
It has to be Black.
Period.
4.
MasterM's Graduation.
A smart day suit.
Don't drip tears on the facings.
5.
Please note you must invest
in good underpinnings
to maximise your assets.
6.
Your formal work event dress
should be modest and understated
It can be reused effectively
for your college reunion...
MrsM, please sit up straight.
You are not taking this seriously.
Poor preparation will be disastrous.
Jeans are not an option.
Go away and get busy.

Love the images - a perfect accompaniment to your commentary - good luck with your wardrobe choices.
ReplyDeleteSo beautifully illustrated. I do hope you've found all the correct outfits and under pinnings.
ReplyDeleteFabulous...I wish my conscience was as helpful!
ReplyDeleteCorrect underpinnage is so important. I do hope you find everything you want, I'm sure you'll look sensational.
ReplyDeleteWhy does my conscience only nag me to clean things? It'd be far more fun if it exhorted me to go shopping and be more glamorous!
ReplyDeleteoh, the underpinnings...sigh...
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I won't have to join you. I do dislike shopping for clothes.
ReplyDeleteBoy you have quite the events lineup. It'll all be fun, I promise! Now get up and choose your clothes with your heart. You'll dazzle.
