Thank heavens I took this shot this morning instead of doing my usual trick of waiting 'til the evening when I'm all footsore and rumpled. It was so humid this morning that it almost felt like I was breathing in a mist of warm water, but it was nothing compared to the soaking I got in the afternoon when the heavens opened.

White trousers may not have been the wisest choice for the day, but it's been ages since I wore them, so they almost seem new...

I ducked in Sussan on my lunch-break. Just for a, you know, browse. After all - I still have seventeen days of Frugal February to go (gah!).

Still, I could've bought the place out - they're doing a really cute nautical range at the moment that doesn't seem to be up on the website yet. I tried on a white & navy striped boatneck tee with button detail that was just the cuteness, another pair of short shorts (not as good as the City Chic pair) a stripy circle skirt and a cardigan.

It's been an almost unbearably muggy and miserable day today, but in the early afternoon we finally got some rain, so hopefully the cool change has arrived.

I'm doing some preparation for the first remix project of Frugal February, but I seem to have a list of things-to-do as long as my arm: I've been sorting through my wardrobe doing a drastic cull for my upcoming post-frockapalooza eBay sale, plus I've been doing my biannual ironing marathon (so that I don't run out of clothes during my no-buy month!). I've also downloaded the pattern for the Dr Who Scarf (from here), which I've promised to knit for the Sophisticate. And there's work, or course.

It's terrible, because with the humidity all I want to do is mooch around wearing not-much-at-all and doing even-less...
