Good for poor old mature student me who gets away with wearing some pretty plain stuff. Colourful and well-made necklaces and earrings draw away a discerning eye...I note you are a patron of the NAW. Well that's where I'm based and we don't see many patrons so if you have time...would love to meet you at one of the masterclasses!<BR/><BR/>Finally I happened to note whilst reading last Saturdays Guardian that far fewer women than men have won the Booker and since you are the only woman shortlisted I offer my absolute best wishes to you!!brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361963099324096239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-60991403816538714182008-09-09T15:32:00.000+01:002008-09-09T15:32:00.000+01:00Woohoo!!

I bought "The Clothes on Their Backs" on a UK trip last spring, and think it's excellent.<BR/><BR/>If I may comment on an earlier issue, as an American I was actually looking forward to sartorially-linked political discussion on TTD. Politics is, after all, one of the things thoughtful dressers are thinking about. But I do accept your editorial decision.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746388496605457562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-56133512768657530302008-09-09T13:44:00.000+01:002008-09-09T13:44:00.000+01:00Congratulations!

Vivien's discovery of vintage clothes struck such a chord - I still have (and wear) two beautiful 1940's jackets I bought 30 years ago (but the dealers up here in Glasgow weren't quite as colourful as the ones you describe!). <BR/>On the shoe front, I fully sympathise. I visited Liberty's new shoe dept yesterday, everything was completely flat or teeteringly high. And teetering isn't a good look. But I do hope you find something gorgeous!<BR/><BR/>PS am greatly enjoying the book - an Australian woman on the train asked about it, she'd heard you speak in Adelaide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
