At long last - ballet flats! How exciting to wake up to sunshine and a balmy 8 degrees, meaning I could just about get away with ballet flats. I'll be honest, I was chilly in them when I stood out for the photographs but for a busy day in and out of the car, they are perfect and I've already met one woman in similar attire, so I don't feel too out of place. I know I'm going to meet many other women in knee length and ankle boots but I like to think they'll wished they'd been brave enough to get their ankles out too :)

Ok, I'm off for 3 hours with 10 energetic 9 year old boys.
The only thing keeping me going is knowing I get a slice of this at the end of it!
Have a great Sunday x
You're bonkers!!! It's not warm enough yet for ballet flats. I've changed from boots to Converse and even still my feet are a bit chilly! Come September you'll be longing for your boots again, lol! Have a lovely day ... that cake looks delish:)
ReplyDeleteHaha - I want to be the first to fly the ballet pumps flag. But I know I'll be in the ankle boots on and off for at least another month....feet are still defrosting! Hope you had a good weekend Helen, Ax
DeleteQuite right getting your ankles out. I always long to get my legs and feet out to let them breathe and see some daylight after a long winter. I'm also wearing ballet flats but I really want to be in sandals! :)
ReplyDeleteOh now sandals - that would be a step too far yet but yes....how amazing it will be to wear them again! Thanks for dropping by and commenting Hannah, Avx
DeleteOooh.... Love a little bit of "Ankle cleavage"!? Have a fun day! x
ReplyDeleteHaha...the only cleavage I've got...apart from some toe cleavage sometimes! Ax
DeleteI was in pumps yeasterday too although I wasn't outside much, just showing a bit of ankle cheers me up though! Love those jeans on you,and that scarf is gorgeous! That cake looks amazing I keep meaning to make one!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right - it's a great way to cheer us up whenever it's been so blooming cold! And yes...those jeans were the BEST ever buy - have all you FBU girls to thank, Ax
DeleteHave a lovely day Avril....great to get out of the boots even for one day:) Loving that birthday cake:)

Thanks Anne - it is, isn't it. Delighted you got such a great day for your sister in law's wedding. Loving this sunny weather, despite the cold! Ax
DeleteGo Avril!!! I did wear my peep toe boots today, but I only had to walk from the car inside so I stayed warm! We'll all be wearing them now. X
ReplyDeleteAnd gorgeous they were Claire - well done you! We have to make the most of it - good practice for the fab summer ahead ;) Ax
DeleteHi there-they look lovely and it's so nice to start wearing Spring and summer style outfits, enjoy your day!! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon! I think it's really great to see some transitional outfits as it's a tricky time of the year to dress for. We had a great day, thanks. Was a brilliant wee party, Ax
DeleteI couldn't possibly wear ballet flats yet, it has been sunny but still freezing and next week is going to be rubbish again but I admire you for getting your ankles out!
ReplyDeleteI figured I needed to make the most of it. Give the boots a break for a few days! I'll be back in them again tomorrow by the looks of it! Ax
DeleteI've been in ballet flats for the last two days. I've officially declared it Spring even if the temperatures are not quite there yet. Another outing for the boyfriends then? Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh yes...they are getting out so much lately. LOVE them and it's all thanks to you girls! Ax
Deleteoooh yes hello ankles! I'll get mine out once I get some false tan on them!!
ReplyDeleteI love that cake - what a clever and beautiful person you are!!
Aw, thank you Fiona. I was slapping on the bronzer on mine before these photos! haha, Ax
DeleteI love this outfit on you! Lovely necklace & "Yay" for the ballet pumps! Cake looks divine too! Andrea x
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea...you are giving me inspiration with your sunny outfits on A57! Ax
DeleteI packed my converses for our week away in Edinburgh last week & wore my fleece lined rocketdog boots every day!
ReplyDeleteAw....I couldn't have worn them if I was out and about too much to be honest. Fleece lined boots are still a necessity unfortunately. Hopefully not for much longer, Ax
DeleteI love those ballet pumps on you!! And i want a maxiscarf too!!
