Lockdown loungewear




Hello again! I've delved into my archive of photos to bring you this feature today. Last month Fiona and I had a lovely photo session in the Lighthouse Cottage, the newest rental cottage on the island. The loungewear suit is suddenly on trend during Lock-down 2, as the must-have item for wearing at home. It's only one step up from wearing pj's, but oh what a glamorous step up that is!




This has to be my favourite dressing down outfit despite it being years old now. I bought it in store from Zara when Steve and I were in London a few years ago. It was one of those instant love affairs and one that hasn't died. The velour is thick and warm, the embroidery is beautifully stitched and has remained strong and colourfast despite lots of wash and wear cycles. I add a long sleeved thermal top underneath during the colder months or a simple lightweight vest for comfort in the summer. 




I've tried to find a similar velour loungesuit on the market currently and found this lovely black version on ASOS - here. My only accessory is a pair of Quay Australia sunglasses today.




In the summer I pair this outfit with bright orange flat sandals and during the winter the perfect partners are my Topshop patent cuban heeled boots.






Thank you for your kind wishes from my last post. It's been about 10 days now since I was felled by gastric flu and today I plan to make my first foray outside. Seemingly there is life beyond my log burner and binge watching of the American TV series This Is Us ...




Looking out across Old Grimsby to the Blockhouse Castle with the view of the Eastern Isles beyond - pretty idyllic eh?
