Penryn palazzo pants

Yes, let me introduce you to my Penryn palazzo pants, named as such because of the pretty little Cornish port where I bought them. 









I've had to find a private dentist to do some specialist work on my teeth and this pretty town is where he's located. Earlier on this month I caught the train from Truro to Penryn for my second visit. The first time I went it was pouring with rain so I caught a taxi, but on the second it was bright sunshine and so I decided to walk. I was rather pleased with myself as I used Google Maps to find my way. I'm very old school and usually just ask for directions so this seemed quite an adventure to follow myself along the way. In fact, the route was very straightforward taking me from station to the harbour leading through the heart of the town. 


When I say heart of the town, I wonder if this is more a village considering the size and small selection of shops. Don't get me wrong, as you can see it's chocolate box pretty and has a lovely art gallery (hello Tom Holland!) and one-off shops selling local fare. AND, much to my delight, a charity shop, bang on the high street! Well, it would have been rude to pass on by when the shop keeper had dressed the window so nicely and door was even propped open to entice me in. I was on the clock however, and my recce was swift, but I still managed to find these immaculate palazzo pants for the bargain price of £3. I also picked up a furry gilet for another £3 which was five minutes and £6 well spent. Off I went with my loot and submitted to my 2 hours in the dentist's chair. Afterwards I retraced my steps up the hill back towards the railway station. I didn't want to miss the train and had little time to spare, so can you imagine my chagrin at finding a tiny vintage shop nestled on the roadside with all sorts of tempting trinkets and garments temptingly displayed in the window and inside. Not a minute to spare, I lingered for a moment longer promising myself that my next dental appointment day will be a much longer visit to Penryn.

Outfit details - trousers: Dorothy Perkins, jacket: Precis Petite, top: pre-loved (no brand), boots: River Island, sunglasses: Quay Australia, bracelet: Jackie Brazil, rings and necklace: pre-loved.

  1. How annoying that you had no time to poke around in that shop...next time though. However, you did very well with the palazzo pants, they tone beautifully with your jacket. Hope your visit to the dentist wasn't too painful. x

    1. Yes, annoying as you say, but next time is only a few weeks away. I think that a dental appointment deserves a reward don't you? The trousers are so lovely and such a bargain too!

    1. I'm not too upset at the thought of this extended plan of dental treatment now that I know I've got some retail therapy lined up as well. Seems like a great pay off don't you think?

      Enjoy your week!

  3. I am most annoyed that neither my dentist nor periodontist have vintage, thrift or second-hand shops near them! This is an outrage! Those are FAB trousers, and wow, do they ever look awesome on you, Anna! Have a lovely weekend, my dear!

    1. Maybe an outrage for you, but a stroke of luck for me I'd say Sheila. I'm thrilled with the trousers and do hope that I've not peaked already with the best of the finds.

      Catch up soon!

  4. Oooh I hate it when I discover a great place and then can't spend the time needed to truly uncover all the treasures hidden within.

    The only thing my dentist has nearby is a massive TJMaxx but I usually feel far too ill after the dentist to do anything other than head back home to bed.

    Love the whole fun look.

    1. I know that dentists and shopping aren't always the best mix, but in my case you gotta snatch the retail opportunities when you can. And it helps me to actually look forward to my next appointment too!

    1. I like palazzo pants - they are really flattering and seem to make me look much taller than I really am, which is all good. The jacket got a new lease of life when matched up with these - result!

    1. I'm must admit I'm pretty thrilled with these too Laurie. I hope to get a few more chances to wear them before the weather becomes too chilly. My new dentist is uber kind which is really taking the fear out of it for me. Long may that continue.
