Clothes 3

I need a short coat to replace a simply horrible one I’ve had 4 years – very warm and perfect condition but looks like a size 20 altered – which it is – does nothing for my morale!

I must tell you from X’s last letter the garb of one of her American lecturers – red socks, no shoes, red and black stripy vest and clashing red shorts!

I bought myself a super sleeveless jacket with reveres in white polyester – which they called a sleeveless blazer, but I wore it with my grey tiered cotton skirt last night – I thought it looked pretty snazzy myself.

I also finished my startling scarlet top – like the one in green you liked – and am very pleased with it and wore it to the Xs last night. She has gone a bit gay and bought a super woollen smock from an arty shop which looked v. nice. She also had a woollen-weave in black and gay colours skirt made but bought a silk coffee-coloured blouse to go with it – but it doesn’t.
