So shove it Sister Wolf*.
What a difference a week makes, I started fairly wrapped up and ended up in a linen top, out of the closet a week earlier than anticipated.
Monday 7/10A bit frumpy with hindsight, that skirt could do with a coloured top, I had bought a blue one last year but gave it to Daisy because it was too clingy, I will keep trying. The grey marl top is from Muji it has a lovely boat neckline. Skirt from COS lovely, but a bitch to find a top for, the cardie is a loose one I found in a shop in Narberth, it too is lovely, very forgiving a Norwegian design I think.

I LOVE this top from ASOS (can you believe it was only £10?)I am so glad I bought it a size bigger so it hangs really well, worn with fairly structured Zara trousers the one draw back was the friction between top and trousers meant the t-shirt runched up when I walked. You can just see the coral necklace I made.
Wednesday 9/10
Now known as that "baby doll dress that makes me look like mutton" Like I say shove it, Dress from COS cardie from Kew. shell necklace I made, another favourite.
Thursday 10/10
Don't be deceived by the photo I loved this outfit, It is a long COS dress worn over very light loose jersey leggings with buttons down the side from Zara last year, for the chilly morning I put another cardie from Kew, grey again but the long length works well with the dress, it is the photo that's crap. The necklace from Toast is now a firm favourite.
Friday 8/10
I bought this shirt from Zara last week it could do with being an inch longer and having a couple of vents down the side. That said it is lovely and cool and I like the detailing which Zara is particularly good at. Worn with some old black trousers from Mango.
A good week but the difference in temperature has thrown future plans and I will have to work in more linen than I anticipated. Plus next week will need a Chelsea outfit as it is the Flower Show on Thursday afternoon. The other stripy top from ASOS was perfect too but very autumnal so I have kept it and bagged it up for October! I have to say ASOS could become a firm favourite especially with free P&P.
* This is a joke by the way, her blog is blocked so I can't read it. The quote came from God knows where, but made me laugh as it summarises by blog perfectly so if the cap fits.......my lovely dress has a silver lining!
Glad to see your weather's improving all the way to linen -- cotton and silk may not be far behind!
ReplyDeleteI tracked down that "So what" post and after wincing a bit in the humiliation of recognizing my own blog, I couldn't help wondering why someone who shrugs off such a large sector of her older sisters would care enough to direct such scorn towards us. Just look away, dear, just look away . . .
I haven't read the post you talk about but find inspiration from seeing what other bloggers wear.
ReplyDeleteMater, amazed you found the post, I MUST find it now. I know much of what she says is probably true... yet I really do like Looking Fab, prefer looking at what real people wear not what skinny models wear.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the helll you'r talking about but I've never"blocked" my blog. You can Shove It too. Love, Sister Wolf
