Ecru boilersuit from Tu


Happy Friyay!

Friday/Friyay, whichever, I'm still happy to be on the cusp of the weekend. Even though I'm furloughed, I do love to have that Friday feeling where the weekday pressure is off. My weekdays are proving to be much more challenging than I expected. I thought I'd be bouncing out of bed at 5am, galloping off to the beach and then swirling around the house like a hyman tornado, spring-cleaning every nook and cranny before lunch. And yet, it's not like that at all. My sleep is disturbed and my very early mornings often result in a mid-morning slump. I'm trying to avoid the news as it's my main source of stress, but I'm like a kid with a scab on its knee who just can't help going back to it. But, from what I can gather, I'm not alone with this lack of productivity. The simple truth is, we're not quite sure how to deal with these most extraordinary times, are we?




But, one thing that's well within my limits is dressing up! I saw the TV advert for Tu Clothing in March and immediately fell for the charms of this ecru boilersuit. The colour, the elasticated waist, the cut, the fit - all are perfect for my colouring and shape. I seem to be having a bit of a moment with cream denim of late, but that's no biggie is it? I can happily report that the boilersuit is still available online here. At £35 I consider this to be value for money as well as being practical and stylish. Ideal for simply lounging around indoors or for striding out for the daily walk, it really is a great buy.




I opted to add orange as a feature colour to the ecru (mainly because I thought Steve would pass a comment about me looking ready to do a bit of painting and decorating). 




The orange resin necklace is ancient, the orange leather belt and across the body bag are charity shopped as are the rings. The sunglasses are by Quay Australia.




The orange embroidered trainers are by Replay from TK Maxx. Comfortable and very in keeping with today's easy-to-wear look.




I'm very happy to report that I've at last finished my clothes changeover. It took longer than usual, but I've done a fair bit of downsizing and reducing the actual volume of clothes I have available for spring/summer season. 




This year I've chosen to colour co-ordinate the pieces rather than group them into dresses, skirts etc. The shoes underneath reflect the colours above.




I have under-the-bed boxes and on-top-of-the wardrobe boxes housing summer shoes and sandals too. Winter shoes and boots are packed up under the bed too.




The run of colours goes from light to dark. The smaller shelves are home to handbags and scarves. (Not colour grouped I've just noticed.)  A lot of the handbags have smaller ones stashed inside each other.




On the far right are my jackets, tops and trousers, and casual footwear.






Jumpers and jeans are housed on the far right shelving system. The whole run of wardrobes is fronted with mirrors allowing plenty opportunity for self criticism. There's a whole load of angst goes on up here before you guys get to see the outfit of the day!

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

  1. What a great-looking boilersuit, Anna! I love cream or white denim - I'm avidly waiting for the thrifts here to reopen so that I can find some! I nearly wore an orange jumpsuit today - we would have been opposites!

    Brava on your stellar closet clear-out, my dear! That is one glorious melange of colour COLOUR COLOUR (can you tell I'm excited??) that you have there! I just want to dive in and start pulling things out. I see many of my favourites in there...good thing we don't live closer!

    I hope all is going well with you and Steve and all the Islanders. Stay safe, my dear!

    1. This boilersuit is ideal for my time at home and is mega comfy. I'm so pleased to have had a closet sort out too and have packed such a lot away in readiness for when real life starts again.

      We're all safe here and hope that you are too x

  2. I love this look. I wasn't into jumpsuits last year, but I'm really loving boilersuits this year. It was fun to get a small peek into your closet. You have amazing charity shop finds.

    1. Have a colour co-ordinated closet is indeed a great way to start the day! It seems that you and I both have a penchant for big rings :)

  4. I'm exactly the same, Anna, even though my weeks and weekends tend to blend together a bit. But I too thought I'd be much more active and full of energy. Alas, I'm not, even though I'm sleeping well. Love your ecru boiler suit, it looks fabulous accessorized with orange. How exciting that you've finished your wardrobe changeover. Love the peek into your wardrobe! xxx

    1. The longer this goes on, the more I'm coming to accept that no two days are going to be the same. Even when I was at work, my mood fluctuated and therefore my productivity and creativity did too. One day at a time is all we can do, eh?
      Take care x

  5. I love that boiler-suit Anna, especially with the orange accessories and fabulous trainers; vibrant and eye catching! You look great in it.
    I have a Sainsbury close-by; I’m planning to have a look at their new season clothing; they also have a blue denim one that I’m interested in.
    Your wardrobe looks beautifully organised and easy to access outfits from; you have been busy and productive, although I know what you mean about not quite achieving what you’d planned from this unusual time that we have available. I try to complete only one task per day, big or small.
    Looking forward to seeing how you dress up/or down this great outfit in the future.
    Keep safe.
    X Phyl.

    1. Thanks Phyl. Every day seems to bring a different mood for me and I'm just going with it. My smaller tasks are gradually joining up into bigger chores that are getting done :)
      I've seen that denim boilersuit on their website - it looks great too!
      Keep safe x

  6. woww, I love your outfit!, you totally rock!. Love those orange accessories, the rings, necklace, belt, everything so delightfully matchy. And obviously, I'm loving your sneakers, they're so cool!
    Totally agree that it's difficult to be productive when feeling so worried!. But all we try to keep ourselves focused and enjoy our (confined) lives!

  7. Hello Anna , I know what you mean about the uneven lack of motivation in these times, some days I achieve lots but the next day not much at all.
    You have been busy organising your Summer wardrobe. I have just started changing mine over for our Autumn/Winter.
    You wear that cream boiler suit beautifully , the orange accents work so well.
    Hope all is well on your peaceful isle.

    1. How kind of you to drop by Jill. I'm getting better at this as time goes by. Some days being better than others is okay I've decided. Glad you like the boilersuit - it's going to be a long term favourite I'm sure x

  10. The blogs you write include the words that have deep meanings. The worth of your words is the knowledge that you pore your writings. Keep it up and I shall come again to read your magical words.
