I finally visited the amazing Belfast Titanic building today, via a long walk by the River Lagan with the kids. And here's the photographic proof:
Today I'm wearing chinos - hurrah! It's taken so long for it to be warm enough to bare the ankles. I was sent these lovely chinos from the PR team at Next - so a big thanks to Gemma for organising and sending them to me so quickly!
They are the business - a great length and only £20! They come in 4 other colours and after wearing them all day today, I'm definitely going to get the red ones too.
Wearing today with a striped breton top from Tesco (keeping the nautical theme) and a great fitted denim jacket from M&S that I picked up a few weeks ago but it's already sold out! I can understand why as it's a great fit and has a lovely neckline. I'll show you more about it soon - it looks brilliant with a maxi dress. Also wearing a Benetton jersey scarf, Clarks burgundy pumps and a Dunnes Stores white vest layered underneath my breton top.
Isn't this signage great? In the background, you can see the original drawing offices where the Titanic was designed. It's such a historic part of Belfast and somewhere that not many people visited before now. Thanks to a prom-style footpath all the way from the city centre, it's so accessible and a great day out for all ages. We didn't go in to the museum this time but I'm looking forward to visiting another day.
Before we left, I attempted to replicate the statue at the front of the building (just visible behind me)...this is becoming a worrying theme :)
Before I sign off this post, I've been asked by a number of followers about coloured jeans and what to wear with them so I need your help! Please send me a picture of how you wear your own coloured jeans (assuming you have a pair!) to [email protected] and I'll feature all the photos later this week as well as entering everyone who sends me a picture into a draw for a lovely prize. Thanks to everyone who's already emailed their pictures - they're brilliant!! Closing date is 12 midnight GMT on Monday 21st May :) See you tomorrow!
Love the trousers .. shall have to take a look at Next to see about other colours! I bought some lovely mint green and white ones in Tesco of all places last week and I'm waiting for the sun to shine to wear!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of mint green! I'll be checking for those when I'm doing the shopping later this week! Thanks for the tip x

ReplyDeleteThank you Claire! x
DeleteLove the outfit. Can I ask what 'section' in M&S the jacket is from? limited Edition, Per Una etc, as I NEED that!!
ReplyDeleteHi there! It's actually Per Una!! I tried to get it online but it was almost all sold out at the time so I went in-store and there were only 3 left. Sold so well because it's a great fit. Here is the link but it's out of stock obviously - http://www.marksandspencer.com/Per-Una-Cotton-Pleated-Jacket/dp/B006CB7YAA
DeleteThere is a green one in stock now - the cut seems similar but it isn't as practical a colour - here is the link:

Hope that helps! Thanks for your lovely comment x
This is a great outfit for a day out with kids. Fresh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment and for the follow on Twitter too! x
DeleteIs this where I enter the M&S competition? Not sure. Difficult to decide which is my favourite. perhaps I could say which is my least favourite?! Anyway, I think I'll go for the purple bikini. I love the simplicity but great vibrant colour that make it current. But then again, I like the other purple two piece and the black and patterned one.....
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit!, looks like you had a great day out!
ReplyDeleteI’d should test with you here. Which isn't one
