| A quick whizz around the pole... |
 |
| It's not so easy to steer like this. |
 |
| And this is when the school teacher was passing by with the children - just actin' natural. |
 |
| Your chariot awaits madam, was what I thought, but I nearly got wedged in the teeny, tiny seat! |

| My new Michael Kors jacket is having it's first outing. |

| Sunshine and blue sky. Why it's enough to make you believe that spring has sprung. |

The MK jacket was a find in the Truro branch of TK Maxx last month. It's so heavy thanks to all of these studs that I had to post it home in case it pushed my luggage allowance over the limit. The leather look skirt was from the same shopping session, but I didn't really buy them as an outfit at the time. I thought they would be too rock an' roll to be worn at the same time, but when I pulled out this baby pink cashmere sweater the whole thing came together like a dream. Seemingly the look I stumbled across by chance is called Soft Rock as I've just seen in the SS16 edition of Vogue. As I've said before, I'm not a huge follower of trends, but I do like to treat myself to a women's magazine from time to time to see what's afoot fashion wise. I can see I might have more fun playing about with this new style clash. Leather jeans with a bit of lace or a ruffled shirt perhaps...

I love that skirt!
ReplyDeleteAnd the fact that you were able to show off some of your pole dancing skills! Ha ha : P
Soft Rock on!

I love all the texture in this outfit---the studded jacket (swoon), the shiny skirt, the print hose & then those shoes! I would have never paired those shoes with this---but it works amazingly!! Nice! jodie

ps...I bet you get a lot of wear out of that jacket---it's marvelous!
Jodie the pink shoes were a bit of a surprise to me too, but once I chose that sweater they seemed to be perfect. And yes, I think this jacket could become a bit of a staple in my closet.

Ooh, I love this look - this is very me! The pink with the hard-edged jacket and the contrast of the leather-look skirt with the pleats and the cool shoes...I might break into a squeal over here! Love!
ReplyDeleteCould you imagine what fun we'd have if we lived next door to each other? It would be clothes-swapping heaven! Glad to have your approval Sheila x

How very beautifully coordinated you are! Pink jumper, brogues and bag. Black leather jacket and skirt. Black window pane tights. A lovely ensemble and you are softly rocking it! Lovely watch and jewellery, too.
ReplyDeleteI get to spend a fair amount of time in children's playgrounds with my youngest grandson - it's the see-saw I can't resist!

Thanks for your lovely feedback Veronica. I think the see-saw is my favourite too, but it didn't make for a very playful shot when I plonked myself down and went no-where!

Rock on lady. This is such a good look. Very daring for me. You always make me feel like a conservative haha. Which I probably am. I can just admire you, can't I? I put you on my list of blogs I follow, but I cannot promise I will comment on every post darling. I am so stressed for time.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
Dearest Greetje, thank you so much for adding me to your bloggers list - that's very flattering. We are all so stretched for time that it's impossible to visit all our favourites all the time. I try to keep up with everyone's blogs on a Sunday, but as it's also my family day, photography day, housework day etc it can be quite stressful as you say.

Oooh, that's so sparkly! Nice find! I found a sailor jumper in the charity shop on Saturday and I was totally chuffed!x
ReplyDeleteKezzie, I look forward to seeing the sailor jumper soon. I'm heading off to the mainland next month and am so excited to think of all the charity shops I'll be visiting!

Soft rock! Love that! And absolutely girls just want to have fun and you certainly are showing a joie de vivre here. What great photos and the perfect outfit for it. Love the pleated skirt - that will be so versatile.

Thanks Jacqueline. I think all that sun went to my head - the first flush of spring often gets me like that! You're right about the skirt, I think it'll go with so many things - it was a great find.

Hi, Anna! I have seen many pleated skirts around and I love how they fit! Yours has a very nice metallic shade which adds an extra bonus...lovely! Beautiful combination of colours with pale pink...
ReplyDeleteHello Dan. Lovely to hear from you again. I've only got a couple of pleated skirts, but have to agree that the fit is great. Thanks for the feedback x
DeleteAnna
Oh my stars, that's the best skirt. Love your poses too and thanks so much for linking up! xo

Love the skirt and how you style it!
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that you are having so much fun modeling.
Have a great week.
Thanks for dropping by. I did so enjoy acting up for the camera. I think the sunshine made me a bit giddy with excitement too x

Fantastic place for a photo shoot. I love that you had Visitors but like a true pro you kept actin' natural. Hahaha!! Priceless. Never grow up.
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is ooo-wee wonderful. So many studs. I love heavy clothes, they feel expensive. Don't get off the merry-go-round (well, unless you start to feel ill). I love your look.
Thanks for the positive feedback Melanie. You're right about weighty clothes, they do feel expensive. I love this jacket and I know you'll be seeing it again soon x

Love the black and blush.. that skirt is a favorite. I took pics on a swingset last year. We need to be kids sometime and just have fun!
