Sorry if I've missed a tag

@Purplecatshopaholic how is jury duty going? Mine was very dull!

old linen blouse and the rest you’ve seen before. Might be a tough warmer today

I loooooove your sweatshirt. Anything with astronomical illustrations and I'm in.

@NotQuiteUsual I love your sweatshirt too! I have a bit of an outer space obsession 🪐🛰️✨

Thanks guys, it's my best ever charity shop find at £2 I believe it's from h&m originally.

Post office run today with dc's in tow= minions to carry parcels🤣
It's really sunny today, and seems to be warming up again!
Broderie top- market
Seersucker skirt- handmade with vintage fabric by me, it's lasted through 2 pregnancies so far and still going strong
Sandals- new look
Put my new frida kahlo denim jacket on over the top but keep forgetting to take a pic of that🤦‍♀️

Blimey, brain is fried! Jury duty is hard work! Came home to a wonderful welcome from the PurplecatDogs though - always lifts the spirits. Dress from McQ with boots from All Saints and bag from Kate Spade.

Hope you don't have too much jury duty left to do @Purplecatshopaholic . Great sweatshirt @@NotQuiteUsual. Yesterday skirt peacocks, top esprit, cardigan fat face.

Morning!

I’d be interested to hear how the jeans adjustments go @EllaPaella. I have been thinking about having a A/W personal shop as I can never get jeans right and my winter skinny jeans are quite a few years old. I have grenson boots, docs, high tops and I’ve not managed to comfortably wear anything other than skinny jeans! Also my jeans, other than skinny’s never seem to ‘hold’ me in over the tummy- they are all so relaxed - if you get what I mean.

Anyhow jeans not needed this week! Few pics of what I have worn!

A new top today from a brand I’d not heard of before from poncy local boutique. I loved it when I saw it but it had a mark on it so they sold it to me half price! And obviously I am a whizz at stain removal . I love the embroidery
Blouse: black colour
shorts: Abercrombie ancient
eva Birkenstocks: lockdown purchase

Ooh, love the yellow and blue dress @Softpebbles, it’s gorgeous on you. I’m in court again - cream combats from All Saints, with DM Blaire sandals and a Jigsaw top. Snoozy dog, Made in Spain, now adopted to Scotland, lol.

Am busy later so not doing a lot today, but the usual, washing and tidying!

Lovely summer outfits @Softpebbles . Yesterday skirt fat face, top S Oliver.

@Puddinandpie you are the print queen that's an amazing dress.

@Sooverthemill absolutely love the blouse

Handmade necklace, ancient too. Next skirt I charity shopped. Can you believe I need tights in July?!

Feels likes it the last of my summer outfits for a while! UK bound, jumper in my hand luggage. Wouldn’t mind a bit of UK sunshine to get the washing done!

To be honest ready for it. Didn’t like the hotel, but appreciate I am fortunate to have been away.

Loving all your summer outfits everyone - we're down with Covid here, so pyjamas all the way. It's also cold, grey and wet and feels like it's been that way forever, so no summer outfits when we finally feel well enough to get dressed again!

@NotQuiteUsual aww thank you, I do love your striped skirt it's adorable!

I'm in a constant state of hot flush now, the slightest movement and I feel I may combust!🥵
I've just noticed the smeary 5year old ds fingerprints and tongue prints on my mirror, I bloody cleaned that mirror yesterday!!

The weather went cool and wet here, so it's been a few days of just head to toe in navy waterproofs - and not the sleek, stylish kind...
Today I finished work early, so went out to do the shopping, a brisk walk and school pickup IN SUNSHINE! Changed out of my scruffies into what I now realise is a summer camp counsellor outfit. All I need is a whistle and a wristwatch.

T-shirt: current Primark kids, comes in a 2-pack so one for me! Love this green.
Chino shorts: old Gap

I did iron the shorts this morning 😑

Chic dress! Sorry to hear the hotel wasn't all that. At least your outfits were great - I covet the striped coverup dress you posted before.

Cool enough I need tights again. Going for a 60s vibe today with an a line mini dress.

Today and yesterday. Yesterday was busy!

yesterday Sézane blouse and shorts
today handknit jumper hot off my needles which I LOVE and such a quick knit (12 days)

Lovely dress, love your holiday outfits. Hope it isn't going to be too much of a shock coming home to this awful weather. And apparently rain for the next solid week, typical as the kids break up from school!

You look radiant @Puddinandpie 😍

Been really busy, so couldn't keep up! Roll on the last day of school.

Tuesday:
T-Shirt: Gap
Cardigan: white stuff
Skirt: principles

Wednesday:
Dress: TU Sainsbury's
Cardigan : White stuff
Shoes: Timberland

Today:
Dress : TU Sainsbury's
Wrap cardigan : Liz Devy

Phew!

I've been a bit lazy lately, not posting. But I want to show you my charity shop bargain. £3 sparkly shrug. I've bought it to wear to a festival later this summer. I'm 57 and don't really know what to wear to a festival these days but figured a bit of sparkle over a vest or t shirt and shorts might be ok. Please advise if I'm wildly wrong!!

Your sparkly top will be perfect
