Three joyous delights, Libby: you, your dress, and this post!

I have a dress which was bought for me to wear for my husband's 40th birthday years ago - I don't ever wear dresses, and this was an evening dress, so really scary.....! We (still) call it 'The Kitchenaid', because we'd been saving up for one of those but spent its entire budget on the dress instead. Its cost per wear is getting lower over the years, so that makes me feel better, but we never DID buy an actual Kitchenaid...! 🤣

The dress of dreams, Libby! This is absolutely gorgeous! My piece would have to be (probably a bit cliched) my wedding dress. It was made my a boutique in Brighton, the vintage style I had dreamed of but thought I'd never find. It was so comfortable and I felt so confident and happy in it, it will always have so much meaning for me. Congratulations on the book launch, too!

Thank you Michelle! And I love the sound of your wedding dress, it sounds beautiful. And I completely agree that being comfortable in something really does make it feel more special!

Congratulations 🎉 on your new book, Libby and the beautiful dress. I have a pair of tiny pink ballerina 🩰 slippers that my daughter wore when she was 4. She is now 34 and working hard as a Mental Health Nurse. I treasure those slippers which I keep in my ‘special box’ filled with mementos. I have a photograph of her wearing them with a pink tutu on my desk - she looks adorable and she is a wonderful daughter. The slippers remind me how quickly time goes by and how important it is to cherish our very special mother- daughter relationship.

Thank you Rosy! Those ballerina slippers sound so special - I am sure I will have similar items for my own son that I won't be able to part with!

My dad’s polo shirt that he used to wear playing golf ⛳️ he died when I was 19 (I’m now 45) I’ll treasure it always. Thanks for the joy you bring Libby 🥰
