– Walt Disney This weeks outfit of the day, is once again outside.. but it is a bit of a cop out as I took them in my garden. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, I actually walked to the promenade all set to take some with my tripod but then I realised I’d left my remote at home. So that killed that idea. And it was so typical that by the time I got home the sun had gone and it was all grey. Here I am, in another blue dress that I got way back in April during my Vinted phase that I have kept a hold…
