What I Wore to the Versace Retrospective

 And Tuesday Twirl 

Gail Hanlon from Is This Mutton in purple and yellow print trousers bought on ebay

Dear friends. I was not a Versace fan back in the day. I thought his designs were a bit gaudy. But after seeing the wonderful Retrospective in London,  I've changed my mind.

There are lots of bright colours,  yes (and many of them in my Spring colours), but also some sublime tailoring and quite subdued outfits you could wear to the office. Princess Diana was a fan, as was Elton John and of course Elizabeth Hurley.

October: A Big Birthday, ABC and More

 #WBOYC #WhatsBeenOnYourCalendar 

Swans in the Lee Valley Country Park

Dear friends. A busy month to share. October included a big birthday for Mr Mutton, a school reunion in Plymouth and seeing the group ABC with an orchestra in Bournemouth. I also started using a personal trainer again, gave blood and did a one day First Aid course. 

Read on for TV recommendations.

Life Lately: Teal, Tartan, Violets

 & Tuesday Twirl 

Is This Mutton in corduroy teal dress with aqua accessories

Dear friends. A mixed hors d'oeuvres today. I'm sharing which outfit I wore to the school reunion, a recent cord dress acquisition, a perfume search and more.

First up is a soft corduroy dress.  It's exactly the type of dress I look for in winter:  not too long and with a gathered waist that helps create definition where none exists.  Plus corduroy is On Trend, not that most of us care too much about that.

Choose My Outfit for the School Reunion

& Tuesday Twirl 

Is This Mutton invites readers to choose one of three colourful outfits to wear to a school reunion

Dear friends. It's a big day for me on Saturday, a school reunion! It's been organised by me and my bestie from the sixth form. We were reunited last year when I began tracking down our alumni. 

I'm looking for your help to select my outfit.
