Sieze the day!






The sun came out today making it a no-brainer for Fiona and I to capture some images for the blog. We finished work and wandered along the road towards the quay at New Grimsby to escape from the brisk north wind. Tucked in behind the hedge we dodged across the road and onto the last patch of sand as the incoming tide swallowed up the beach.




I've been itching to wear these new boots since they arrived in the post last week. Rain and yet more rain meant it's been impossible to get outside for blog photos, so today's bright sunshine was too good to resist. I've paired the neon bright flatforms with a yellow ribbed body underneath my soft green tweed shorts suit (from Primark). Boots, tights and body are all from Vinted. 






I can't explain the appeal of these chunky workwear boots as my latest passion. My son did question how these and my orange ones have become my style statement of the moment and I really can't answer that; I just know that I love them!






Nothing new accessories-wise this time. Necklaces are old/pre-loved, as are my rings and sunglasses, but that's not to say that they're not well considered to match the outfit of the day.




Fiona had a bit of a surprise as a wave suddenly swept round about her - luckily she was wearing her wellies!



 
I chose orange as my other accent colour today. The handbag is by Oliver Bonas and the coat is one of my new winter buys - it's by Superdry and was brand new from Vinted at a cost of £60.




Fiona kindly told me that I look like a bright orange caterpiller. She may be right, but the coat is all about keeping warm and if that means I have to sacrifice some style in order to keep cosy then so be it!

  1. LOVE that orange puffer, Anna! I don't think you've sacrificed any style at all! You look like an orange cheezie to me (hee hee).

    I adore the boots - I'm also going through a chunky/ugly shoe phase (to the appalled face of my husband), so those are right up my alley. I like the dichotomy of wearing a very masculine/heavy shoe with a girly outfit (the tweed). It took me a minute to figure out "body" was "bodysuit" (oh the kids these days, with their shorter words!), lol.

    Much love to you, and hoping for sunnier and warmer days soon!

    1. Glad to hear that we're in the same phase Sheila. I've started priming my husband when I'm about to enter the room in something outrageous - he gets a chance to feign delight! And hey, yes, the sun has finally appeared xxx
