I needed a black bow tie today because I am singing in a concert tomorrow and the choral soc have changed the dress code from burgundy bow ties to black. I saw that Beatties in Birmingham were having a seasonal Sale, so I popped in there and got myself one, full price, alas!
While I was there I checked the hosiery department. The store stocks Wolford, Elbeo, Charnos, Aristoc, Levante and Pretty Polly, but not a single item of hosiery was reduced in price! I'm glad I had visited the House of Fraser a couple of weeks ago when their sale was on. I got two pairs of Gerbe tights from there: nice colour - beige doré. One pair (10 den Sunshine) was for a present, and the other (20 denier Sunlight) was for me, but I still have to try them on.
Well, I was so disgusted with Beatties that I went to TKMaxx to see what was on offer there. They have got some Charnos Light Fantastic open toe 7 denier in Champagne or sherry for £1.49, so I bought a couple of pairs. They should do very well for the summer. Champagne matches my skin tone and will be fairly unnoticeable in most circumstances.
Tomorrow is a busy day. Helping with trials for my wife's Little League netball in the morning, singing Handel's Messiah in the evening. I shall miss the quiz on Bonzden, too. I think I will wear tights with some support tomorrow so that my legs do not complain too much!
