Since I am exhausted (not sleeping still) and stressed (as I am still employed), I have nothing today. I am off to a full day's meeting which will undoubtedly do my head in.
So I leave you with a few pictures, the skirted ones of which I asked Angus to take when I got home yesterday and this morning before I left the house.
First, Pumpkin #2 has been carved in our household. This seems to be a Sunday pasttime of mine, along with watching recorded episodes of Lost and Grey's Anatomy that I have.
It's a simple life.
This time, I made a witch.
And I wore the purple striped skirt yesterday for a meeting in London, complete with my electric bugaloo wrap (what you can't see are my striped woolly gloves. It is freezing here. Yes, really.)
I bought them, and I am wearing them.
The reason you should be amazed at those pics is this is me in my everyday lounging at home clothes.
Observe the (clearly matching) socks.
-H.

Ah! Neither skirt is what I had imagined, although the orange is close! Beautiful! Even in lounging clothes, you clearly have a style all your own!

I love those socks and skirts! I also don't think you need an excuse for the scarf! As soon as it cools down enough I have one on me practically all the time. Like my "comfort" item

Excuse me, but I adore that orange skirt! would you mind emailing me and letting me know where you got it from? I know that's a bit of an odd request as I am usually a lurker here but I really would like one of my own and as I live in Louisiana I think we are both safe from ending up at the same party wearing it at the same time.
Thanks much.

Love those skirts, they are amazing. You look fantastic- just beautiful.
And Helen? Vogue is at my house right now. I will send them your way when they are finished here. ;-)

The skirts are absolutely gorgeous. Love the style. I'm going to have to echo Casey and ask where you got them. Monsoon? Although little chance of me being able to order anything from a UK store over here.

I love love love the orange skirt. And you look great in it. Here's hoping it gives you a little bit of extra skip in your step even on gloomy days (weather or work wise).

LOVE the orange skirt and the pumpkin, Helen. If you decide to quit the rocket riding gerbil co, you can hire out as a pumpkin carver! I have socks very like yours and most of the time, I am just as stylish around the house.

Teach me, Obi Wan. You're my only hope!

Too cute! All of 'em! ...and, yes, I too look like your last pic - all the time I'm at home. You better call before you come over to my house or you get what you get. (The orange skirt looks very fall-ish and festive!)

I want that orange skirt!! And I don't even like orange that much (on me). Damn, it's cute. Vogue should be calling you. You've got some wicked style! And you know that all the Vogue people wear pj's and toe socks at home.

Dude, how can you deal with the toe socks? They drive me nuts!! My toes need to be one with eachother.
And I love the skirts. LOVE!!

Wow, I'd only be like the 20th person to rave about the orange skirt. But it really is beautiful, unexpectedly so.
What's really going to interest Vogue is the PJ/sweater/scarf combo. I expect that trend to hit Milan and Paris any minute.
(Like I would even know; hell, I wear old lady housedresses all the time.)

You have such style, girl.
I love all of the pictures -- even the one which you think says you ahve no style.
Pish posh. You've got more style in your pinky than most do in their entire body. It's YOU, baby. And you look so lovely.

You are wearing your woobies! (comfy clothes) Not a damn thing wrong with that. It is better that your sweater be a bit thread bare. But, I also love that orange skirt...

AHHH! toe socks! NO! *twitches*

You are SO absolutely adorable. And beautiful. Really, you just have this amazing beauty within you that radiates from your eyes and smile.
I completely LOVE your orange skirt. I truly admire your boldness...

You have style, girl, no matter what you're wearing. You do, seriously. Style and class.
Maybe this is going to sound really weird... but no matter what you write, you always sound so together. I'm not going to go as far as "I wish I could be like you" - because then I wouldn't be me! - but how you deal with what's on your plate? That's what's to be admired.
No, I'm not a stalker.
Though I wish your cold weather would cross the Channel so I can wear my nice snuggly winter jacket!
