New dress…a bit bright maybe?

As requested a photo of me in my bargain sale dress.
It’s hanging up in the wardrobe but still has its tag on…too good a bargain to turn down but it’s so much brighter & garish than I normally wear.
What happens if I go somewhere & these is another woman wearing the same dress….can’t miss it!

Three good things:
1. All my little flowers I planted in our new wall are flowering & seem well established.
2. Chocolate Swiss roll.
3. Two of our long time b&bers have booked in for three nights in April. Will be lovely to se them!

Pat it is perfect for Spring

[Lou Ann]

It’s not garish at all, Pat. I really like it, just lovely for spring. What does Harry think?

[Pat Knowles]

@louannwarren He says his usual phrase Lou Ann…it’s alright, that means he likes it!!🤣

[Pat Knowles]

@bkbinthecity thank you…very kind!

[Judith Johnson]

I didn't realise you were still in business Pat - we might well take you up! Your dress is lovely, it's just you and I think you should keep it and wear it often - not just for special occasions!

[julia]

It's lovely.. not what I call garish at all.. We have to step out of our comfort zone at times.. I bet you will get complements when you wear it.. take the labels off..

[Issi Bannerman]

Your dress is lovely!

[Kitty Hawke]

It is lovely....looks very comfortable to wear.....

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro Ha ha not yet!! I always like bright clothes when I’m in NZ but when I get them home I think can’t wear that too bright!

[Pat Knowles]

@jamibann Thanks Izzy, I must say it’s very comfy…stretchy!

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady We can only have guests that don’t mind eating in our open plan living area…no separate dining room & a smallish double room plus wet room. You would be very welcome though….
Cathy says I should wear dresses more often….

[Pat Knowles]

@cutekitty it is Kitty….just pop it on, no fastenings at all.

[Carole Sandford]

Well I think it’s lovely! I hope you do wear it.

[Lou Ann]

@happypat Jerry is the same way. When our waiter asks us if our food is good, Jerry says it’s okay. I tell them that means it’s really good. 😊

[Joan Robillard]

Looks good on you - maybe you should thing brighter and garish more often

[Pat Knowles]

@louannwarren The same here…aren’t they funny or annoying! 🤔

[Pat Knowles]

@carole_sandford @joansmor Perhaps you’re right….it does brighten up an older face maybe!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely dress ,not at all garish , but lovely and up lifting especially with your silver hair and pearls ! You look very smart !

[Granny7(Denise)]

I think it’s lovely really suits you

[Hazel]

Not garish - you look very nice. (I gave a bright dress to a charity shop and now wish I had kept it!)

[carol white]

A lovely dress,Pat.It looks very nice on you

[Dianne]

This is a lovely image of you in your new dress. I definitely think you should keep it.

[Boxplayer]

It's lovely, great colours! Not too much at all... We just get used to certain colout comfort zone!

[Pat Knowles]

@dide @carolmw @quietpurplehaze @denful

Thank you all. I really appreciate your comments, I think I I will probably keep it & try & wear it… think I will feel self conscious the first time! 🤣

[Babs]

I think it is lovely, not too much at all and it looks comfy so definitely a keeper.

[Lesley Knowles]

I love your dress Mum. Definitely keep it xx

[Pat Knowles]

@floralchicknz I think I shall Lesley. Xxx

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing I think I’ve been persuaded Babs!

[Maggiemae]

I like the long sleeves - you can wear this every day as well as for something special. I don't think i've ever seen somebody else with the same clothing as I bought! Even though, on the rack there is all the same clothing in different sizes!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae The sleeves push up maggie…it’s a stretchy material so you can have them any length which is good. I think you are right about meeting another version of you. A friend told me today that it happened to one of her friends, she thought she better tackle it head on so went up to this lady & said’ I hope I look as good in mine as you do in yours!’

[Pat Knowles]

@boxplayer Thank you Ayla!

[Phil Howcroft]

it's a nice dress Pat, what does Harry say...let me guess ..."yes it's nice" !!!

[Delwyn Barnett]

Your dress looks lovely - and definitely not too bright!

[Monique]

It’s a keeper in my opinion…

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft His usual Phil…it’s alright! Never one to enthuse but that means he likes it!! Thank you.

[Pat Knowles]

@dkbarnett Thank you Delwyn.

[Pat Knowles]

@momamo I think so Monica.

[Wendy]

Such a fabulous selfie, Pat! And no, it is not too bright! A true spring dress!

[Newbank Lass]

It's lovely Pat. Keep it.

[Pat Knowles]

@newbank @farmreporter Yes I’m keeping it…tags still on yet though! 🤣

[Sarah Bremner]

You look lovely in your new dress.
