Thanks for stopping by today I'm busy packing for Venice! Off early, very early tomorrow morning with hubby and four friends for a weekend of partying, drinking, eating and sightseeing - & I can't wait.
I've been channelling my thoughts to gather a 'capsule suitcase' over the past week, and hope to have come up with a suitable amount of clothes for both day and night.
Three one piece outfits for the evenings, by way of two dresses and one maxi dress, plus accessories including one pair of evening sandals. Three pairs of cropped trousers, one denim, one gingham & one pair of white denim, along with matching tops. White denim jacket, wrap and cardigan. One pair of comfortable footwear, plus sandals.
I can't wait to get away, it's been a while since we've had a break and feel in need of one. I keep day dreaming about gondolas, Bellini cocktails and pasta - I love pasta! All with "O sole mio" in the background. Yes & there'll probably be an ice cream or two. Won't be long now!!! Yay.
Anyway back to today there's a blog to get posted before I should even think about getting away.
Do you ever buy an item and simply adore wearing it? That's just how I feel about these tan peg trousers. The soft feel, the comfortable fit, the perfect length and how they look. These tick all my boxes making these trousers and exceptional buy at just £15 from Apricot sale. I just knew I'd be wearing these as often as I could! Having worn them here with turquoise & a blush cream blouse. I'll enjoy these throughout Autumn because they'll work with so many other colours.
Today I wore them with my F & F off white fluted sleeve top, here's another way to wear that.
You can see it's becoming the scarf season because I'm wearing a blue and white example. I quite like the season getting cooler when I can reach for a scarf to match my outfit. With over fifty in my collection, there's always one that will fit!
I bought this cross-over bag in Matalan, I feel a little boho when I use it, and reckon I can pair it with most colours for a casual look. It's got an inner zip and two pockets with enough room for my purse, phone, keys, and some make-up - a good all round bag.
Trousers from Apricot.
Blouse from F & F.
Shoes from Debenhams.
Scarf from Primark.
Bag from Matalan.
So pleased you could stop by today, Hope to see you on Monday.
It's the third update of the Style Steal, you'll be able to see who I'm copying, so I hope you'll give me a visit! Here's the two previous steals from July & August, let me know what you think, I'll be waiting for your comments. X
