Pink plisse trousers and textured top


Hellooooo! How's your weekend going?




My outfit of the day is from at work yesterday when I was manning the desk, standing all day long, therefore had comfort as my main objective. Our photo shoot was at the end of the day and I was still smiling, a testament to the lack of sore feet, thank goodness.


The plisse trousers were from New Look a couple of seasons ago and are way too big, something like a size 16/18, but that makes them low slung and uber comfy. The striped sheer top is pre-loved, from M&S and a man-made fibre which washes like a dream and dries very quickly. Underneath I have a fuchsia vest top which is quite long and tucks into the trousers helping to secure them at hip level. Without this fabric on fabric bond I fancy they might just descend all the way to my feet!




The silver and white chunky sandals are pre-loved too from Topshop. Sasha gave them to me a while ago as they were too small for her. The wedge sole is a gentle angle making them all day long comfortable. I did actually start off the day wearing my beloved pink (heeled) sock boots, but by lunchtime had to resign myself to ditching glamour in favour of style in another mode.


Keeping it green here with no new jewellery either. Quay Australia sunglasses as per usual, big pink flower ring - gifted from a friend and the other pink ring was a charity shop find. I'm trying hard not to overspend on clothes this summer; I have a few bits and pieces that you've not seen before to sprinkle throughout the year, including a fab new trouser suit that I bought not long after coming back from South Africa. Apart from these, I've made a deal with myself that I'll be strong and keep away from online shopping. Charity shopping will be my weakness, I know, but recycled clothes are the greenest and therefore okay in my book. 


Steve and I are getting into our stride with our evening shoots which are proving to be a lovely way to end the day. We can be chatting about the events of the day and catching up on island news while we're looking for the right location. It all seems quite leisurely to be cycling off together looking for a different aspect or view, especially as the days are longer and the weather more settled. And good for us too, to have a bit of fun larking about together - well, that's what I keep telling him anyway!


Movement was an essential of this particular shoot when we were besieged by gnats as the evening temperature started to drop. Poor Steve was bitten to pieces as he was static for minutes at a time, whereas I just kept jigging about, trying to stop them landing on me. The road we're on is called Pool Road, running alongside the inland lake. I think it's common to have swarms of gnats around a lakes and rivers isn't it? I think we may not be choosing to do a photo shoot here again!

  1. It's pretty common to have bugs around bodies of still water.

    Love the swooshy pants! I often buy stuff in too-large sizes for that extra swoosh!

    Happy weekend, my dear! Thanks for the plethora of comments!

  2. Those look my type of trousers- all lovely and loose and comfy! In your trademark pink- they look super fashion forward! I love them teamed with the top and sandals- it's good you and Sasha can share shoes like that- I have way too big feet for that- the only shoes I've inherited from a family member are a pair of Adidas men's trainers from my Stepdad who has the same sized feet as me!!x

    1. Goodness, I feel my age is beginning to show with comfy being my favourite watchword of late!
      TK Maxx always seem to have loads of large shoes - do you shop there?

  3. Cute, cozy, comfy and all is well with my friend Anna! :-) You look pretty as ever and are showing lots of interesting texture! I'm especially liking your top which seemed to have pink stripes before a closer examination. This is the perfect look for a day on your feet!

    1. This is the kind of outfit that once it's on you can completely forget about it. Some days comfort seems to inform my fashion choices and other times I just love certain piece and will suffer for my art!
