Yep, today you may well need to don your sunglasses or maybe turn down the brightness control thanks to these bold and sassy colours! Not one to do anything by halves I've pulled together two of my favourites, green and orange, along with other colourful delights and florals too just to give you your money's worth. The dress is a star as far as I'm concerned, a joyful discovery in Sainsbury's when I was last in Truro. I'm a bit of a fan of their Tu range on the quiet. I chose this because the pattern has a vintage feel and is also a beautiful silky viscose which hangs like a dream. The cut is so flattering too and best of all (let's say it together now) - yes, it's got pockets!
Today's photo-bomber is one of the locals. Adam is the new Harbour master and his cheeky little friend is called Chip. |
Apologies you to all for the lack of photos from my Bloggers Meet Up the other day. Kezzie and her mother Ros had a fab day on the island and we covered quite a lot of ground too. I'm just waiting for Kezzie to get back to me with some info and then I can hopefully do a good job to the feature soon. On Tuesday we will be opening our 5th summer exhibition which will mean Wednesday's post will showcase my outfit of the evening. And coming up very soon after that on the 20th is the next edition of #Ping Pong Post. So, you can see it's a bit of a busy month bloggingwise never mind working full time, daily sea swimming and also trying to capture some summer memories with the family before autumn arrives. My weekly yoga session has fallen by the wayside due to work commitments so in one way, I'll not be too sorry to get into quieter times to get back on track with my wonderful yoga teacher and classmates again.
My outfit comprises of the Sainsbury dress from the Tu range (all sold out now), jacket is from Benetton (also sold out), sandals are from TK Maxx (these are nice), handbag was charity shopped, necklace is old, belt, brooch and rings are all charity shopped, sunglasses are Quay Australia, and my rose gold watch is by Michael Kors.
This week I'll be linking with these lovely bloggers

Just because we're in our 50's Jodie doesn't mean we have to be drab, does it? I'm glad I've injected a ray of joy with this colourful offering, and giving you a bit of a giggle is a bonus too! Have a great week x

I have to say I too am a fan of Tu on the quiet. I've picked up quite a few pieces from them, including some lovely embroidery anglaise tops this year. And last year I too bought a sundress in orange but not quite as vibrant as yours which is such gorgeous. And the green jacket is perfect with it. I must try to find some more coloured jackets, they really do finish an outfit off, don't they.

It was my daughter who led me to some great discoveries at Sainsbury as she's a regular amongst the sale racks there. I did find quite a lot of things, but was very selective as I don't want to lose my way and end up with a whole trolley full of Sainsbury style. Just the odd thing here and there is enough. And yes, I'm partial to splash of brightness in the shape of these kind of jackets - it really adds a bit of a flourish I think. Have a great week Jacqueline x

Hello lovely!!! Thank you for your lovely email which I will answer tonight on my computer which us easier to type on. Just sitting on deck in Tilbury waiting to disembark so I thought I'd read your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore that dress, it is so pretty and vibrant and suits you really well. I love your accessorising too!! It's really funny that you think I look shorter in my blog photos as you definitely look taller!!!
HeLLOOOOO Adam!!

Hello sweetie! So pleased that you like both outfit and accessories. I think our photos together will certainly put the record straight (boohoo, I like pretending to be tall!)

The Gok range is rather fab, but is even better when it's sale time. I'm always trying to spin my money out a bit further! Thanks for dropping by again x
