The big skirt years [Pre-blog]

It's been a few years since I've started wearing skirts more and today I bought a matching cotton long sleeve to  and long (25") skirt with a daisy printed pattern  as it's cool in this weather and looks great. It reminds me of the outfits one of my closest friends wore outside of class, not that I've really forgotten that and in someways I'd rather still be there
I generally tend to go for longer lengths when I go skirt shopping  like at C&A or Littlewoods and they're either more secretarial or smart casual wearing them with pantyhose.

Rare Masters [Pre-blog]

I've liked Elton John for a long time but this week I bought  a special 2 cd set.

Entitled Rare Masters one reason for buying it was the number of 'B' sides of singles not currently available on cd such as Screw You and Sugar On The Floor as it was the policy back then to keep them off studio albums.
The other is it's the first time the movie soundtrack from Friends released in 1971 by Paramount has been issued in it's entirety on cd so this set complements my album based collection well.

Looking back at needs

 

All you need is a friend to share a book with at up on the tree, a snack and a playful soft pussycat who loves cuddles.

To me that childlike innocence is more what I get off on than adult stuff really. 

Girl style [Pre-blog]

 

A lot of people talk about "passing", wanting to be seen as and blend into being an adult female but every time I think about me being "femme" it always goes back to being more of a child and actually wanting to wear school girl uniforms.

Maybe I'm more about going back to or staying in that social status???

The onset of uniformity [Pre-blog]

Although my in so far as clothes go at least, I'm more interested in female clothes domestic issues aside, my mind keeps returning to the concept of having some kind of simplified clothing, conceptually a bit like like a uniform, that I just put on rather messing about trying to match everything. I'm not really big on making choices.
It's probably a bit of hang over really from the very kid side of me,  just wanting something unfussy to play having adventures in but after waiting for the special offer hour at C&A, I walk out with a tracksuit I can wear with a t shirt underneath, that'll match my Puma shorts for everyday wear.
As crazy as it sounds my folk never bought me one while I was at school

Weeks vacation in the West Midlands [Pre-blog]

This week I went to Bridgnorth in Shropshire, part of the Western Midlands of England and visted a few places of which one was the town of Kidderminster in Worcestershire which apart from visiting many of the shops, I bought the new New Kids on the Block cd, Step By Step and the cd re-issue of the classic beach boys Pet Sounds album from the local branch of Woolworths.

Here's a picture of the town centre.

Looking inside [Pre-blog]

My parents bought me a book today that I wasn't really expecting off of them not least the the subject matter.
You see we have this issue going back about a decade and a bit about therapy where they say I need it but then reject what the therapist who has a whole string of qualifications and experiences has to say.
I think in a round about way they're trying say I need to get certain issues sorted and it's true I feel very much still a child and my behaviour is pretty much the same, magical thinking, switching off or just getting defiant so they feel putting it in 'safe' cartoon not only might be easier to understand but easier for me to accept.
