today I am wearing...

A bit of a mixed weather kind of day. A bit of everything. Sun, cloud, blue sky, grey sky, warm, cold. I feel a bit like that myself...

I have a coffee meeting this morning, an excuse (now I work from home) to slip my feet into a pair of heels (hoorah!) and pop on a work dress.

I'm wearing my plum lined black Tokito dress and my aubergine (egg plant doesn't sound quite the same does it?!) Whistles pea coat. I've had this coat for years. I must have been about 22 when I bought this coat. Blimey! It's lasted well. It's still like new. Although it does smell slightly musty after being packed away in a box of old London clothes for so long (even after being dry cleaned).

It's funny, when I was out shopping in London a few weeks ago, one of the sales girls came up to me to ask where I got my coat from, saying, "the retro over sized style is so 'in' now isn't it".  I told her "Absolutely, I just love vintage style", and chuckled to myself.

My heels are Zoe Wittner, but then if you read my blog, you'll know that. You've seen them on numerous occasions.

I had to pop into work for a few hours today.  It's so hard to stay work-motivated when the school holidays are on and life slows down and you are able to step off the routine wheel for a bit.  As I have said before, I love the school holidays.  Lazy mornings, going out for lunch, day trips, reading books and catching up with friends. Lovely, lovely, happy times.

I decided on this 'flight attendant' dress again and decided that I do in fact like it after all.  I love fit and flare style dresses, they always look good on English pears (like me) or hourglass body shapes. And they never go out of style.

today I am wearing... (and it's the weekend!)

Busy, busy, busy today! All sorts of catching up on things to do... But, it's been a great week. Lots of lovely lunches and coffees with girlfriends, new shoes, laughs and dirty chit chat. And the weather is warming up, which always lightens my mood. As it was my birthday last week, I've had lots of treats too! I do love my thoughtful friends.

So, I'm off to buy some champers for tonight, to share with my dear husband, to celebrate the weekend. I love our Friday nights. We can stay up late and stumble into bed knowing there is no rush to get up in the morning.

I'm staying with the black and mauve colour scheme (see Monday's post) again today. My Cue dress and Wittner heels.

Have a wonderful weekend all my lovely readers!
