Hello Everyone, hope you all had a lovely Easter! The weather here was just lovely and I was able to do some gardening - potted up a whole lot of little itty bitty baby lavender plants, some reading - two novels, some baking - sticky date and orange cake, carrot cake and ginger nuts. All in all it felt a nice mixture of productive and relaxing.
This is what I wore on Tuesday when I thought I had a lunch date with some friends (I got the date and time wrong duh!) But you can see I made a real effort.....

Today marked the end of the golden weather for me, I had to wear tights. The wind was just so cold whistling around my legs yesterday I was in such a hurry to get some warm clothes on I forgot to take a photo. So, today I was prepared:

Hope you all have a great Friday.
Love love love that birdie brooch! I saw one in red the other day at an antique store, but I decided not to get it based on the price. So pretty in polkadots. You must have quite the collection of Melissa shoes! I'm a bit jealous that you're in tights already....I can't wait till it cools down enough for me to pull out the tights & crimplene! Xx
ReplyDeleteLoving the pink accents with the polka dots and those lovely purple tights.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounded fab despite the mix-up with the date! x
Love the pink and purple combination! And hurrah for the cute brooch from darling Vanessa. Can't beat polka dots and florals on a frock! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of that second outfit. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteDroopy and Browns was a small English women's clothing label started in the 1970s by Angela Holmes. Her first shop was in York, but later there were branches elsewhere, including London and Edinburgh. She died young, only 50, in 2000, I think, after which the business folded. The name came from her desire to design Victorian-style dresses in the early 70s which were all "droopy and brown", and the name stuck! You don't see her clothes all that often, at least I haven't, because there weren't that many shops and her designs were never sold anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteThere you go - a potted history of Droopy and Browns!
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog, my dear. xxxx
Both dresses look awesome on you and something I would want to "borrow."
ReplyDeleteOh sweets these have to be the best outfits since the last time I said so!!! Hehee! Your shoes are glorious and they stand out beautifully with the glorious tights! I love your jelly watch and all your jewellery is divooooooooon. I'm waiting very patiently for tights weather! xoxo
