Week 42

10 weeks until the end of the year! Last week was Harry and Kate’s second wedding anniversary and next September will be Jack and Emma’s wedding day. Sitting in my wardrobe is the dress I wore to Harry and Kate’s wedding.

The dress is still sitting in the wardrobe never having been worn since! It reminds me of what I was taught by my mum. That one didn’t wear the same special dress again unless no one had seen it before at the new event.It also reminds me about our “Sunday best”, a term that people are unfamiliar with now. Because clothes weren’t easily disposed of years ago and there was no such thing as fast fashion, as children we all wore our Sunday best for special occasions. Eventually our Sunday best was reassigned for everyday wear and new Sunday best was obtained! No such thing as Sunday best now in our throw away society! Clothes are disposed of after just a few wears and land up in land fill for years and years. But my mums indoctrination has remained and I don’t throw things away hence clothes every where even in the loft! So that wedding outfit is here to stay just in case I get asked somewhere where no one has seen that dress before.
