Meanwhile, as the gales blew and the rain chucked it down, I took out a couple of summer purchases that I have been gazing at and wondering if I'll ever get to wear.
So I sashayed around my bedroom in my summer outfit and dreamt of sunny days..
Tried a couple of different necklaces with this top to see which one worked best. On the left, it's my Primark bargain (£4-in stores right now - thanks to Lucy @ Suburban Style!), which I like because it's a bit edgier than the one on the right (a Christmas present from my 8 year old). I love how a necklace finishes off an outfit. Which do you prefer?
Off now to prepare for my Clothes Swap/Swishing Party tonight. I've got 14 friends coming with the clothes and accessories they no longer wear and I'm hoping we all find something lovely to swap them for. I'll share how the night went on tomorrow's blog!
In the meantime, don't forget to enter my competition to win some gorgeous Leighton Denny nail products - remember, a home manicure is a great way to spend a rainy night in!
Love this top - you look lovely in these pics :)
ReplyDeleteBoth necklaces are good with it - maybe the beads for day & the statement one with heels to dress it up a bit more for evening? I love those kinds of necklaces but think they'd get on my nerves if I wore them all day? (clearly showing my age!!) ;-)

Love the top - prefer the beads with it but that's probably as I've never been a fan of chunky jewellery.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the party - look forward to reading about what you swap!
Gorgeous top Avril! I love the first photo:) Those sandals are great too...I need a few pairs for jeans or maxi dresses/skirts! Hope the weather improves soon to wear it all!:) Enjoy your night!

Love this look so much, with beads, if only it would stop raining for you to wear it outside!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely love the top and sandals, probably would vote for the beads?
ReplyDeleteHope weather improves soon!
How funny - I tried on the exact same sandals last week! The top is very pretty - I want it!
ReplyDeleteFound you via the Daily Mail - brilliant blog!
Thanks for dropping by and glad you're enjoying the blog! Do you know, you are the third person who's told me they tried on those sandals - great minds! I wish I could just get a chance to wear them :)
