Welcome to my midweek burst of fun! After the other evening of glitz and glam (see here), I really couldn't top that look and have gone all playful and practical with this everyday work outfit.
Polly and I refer to these as our Children's TV Presenter looks for very obvious reasons. Playful suits me fine on a summer's day when life is fabulous and work is a joy. I can nip up and down ladders without flashing anything I oughtn't and the all-in-one is lightweight and airy too which is perfect as the mercury rises. These Birkenstock type sandals (the brand is Autenti by Penta) are comfy and cool for the scorching temperatures. I bought my sandals in TK Maxx when I was in London recently and they're perfect as a flat runabout pair of sandals that still look stylish thanks to the pop of orange.
The seersucker gingham dungarees were also a purchase from my London trip (see here if you missed that little adventure) and were in the Topshop sale. I found these along with a nude coloured boiler suit in the racks downstairs. I'll let you see those in another post soon. The white long sleeved tee is by M&S, second hand via Oxfam.
Polly was impressed that my shadow managed to keep up with my antics this morning!
Orange had to be the colour for my accessories don't you agree? The bangle and rings are all pre-loved and the resin necklace is very old indeed. My sunglasses tie in with the black and white theme too and are by my favourite brand Quay Australia.
How's your summer unfolding? Are you jumping for joy or dancing in the streets? Do drop me a line - I'd love to hear what you're getting up to. I'll be back on Sunday with my next offering at the second summer exhibition. Do swing by if you have a moment!

What a fun outfit, Anna! Love the playful jump/playsuit and the orange accessories suit the black and white gingham very well indeed! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Ann. I wonder if it's because it's a playsuit that it feels like such fun... x
DeleteThat's a delightful outfit, Anna! I love the orange accessories with the black and white!
ReplyDeleteCheers Sheila. The pop of orange seemed to be the perfect ploy for this look x
DeleteTotal cuteness and whimsy.
ReplyDeleteThis is a look that inspires a youthful attitude to match!
Gingham paired with overall styling screams, "Life is Good!" ��
The gingham dungarees are such fun to wear and do indeed bring out a youthful joie de vivre in me. I'm so pleased that they've elicited this great response.
DeletePlayful is good! just look at how well these photos have come out Anna. I might have to take a leaf out of your book! Love the jumpsuit xx
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I'm sure you could carry off a pair of dungarees too, done in your own style of course!
DeleteYour pinafore jumpsuit is just so different, love that you can wear it without the tee shirt - fab mixing orange with the black and white. x Jacqui Mummabstylish
