This maxi skirt has to be among the best buys in my wardrobe - I wore it so much last summer and now it's out again, looking just as good as when I bought it. It's cool but covers up nicely and it's so easy to wash and requires little or no ironing. It's not available in the grey marl this year but there's a black and a rather nice breton stripe too...tempted!
Despite the lovely day, I knew it could be chilly up at Castle Ward as it's on the waters edge so I threw on this neon butterfly scarf from the shop which came in handy at times but was light enough to not feel too warm at any stage.
The pastel pendant is another 'perk of the job' I've taken from the shop. It's just perfect with so many different colours but it has a longer length chain so can be worn up close to the neck as I have it here, or longer...as you can see in the shop photos on the link above.
Birkenstock update - LOVE them ...I will admit that for the first week or so, they were stiff and I was wondering if I'd get on with them but now they are so incredibly comfortable and when I take them off, my feet feel great. I'm also loving the dark grey colour as it's so versatile.
A final heads up on the shop as I've had lots of teacher present buying going on this week (NI/ROI/Scottish schools finish up next week!). The shop will be closed from 9pm on the 24th June until 9am on the 8th July. So if you need teacher presents for the first 2 weeks in July, you'll need to order now. I've also got gift vouchers available for any amount if you can't decide what to buy as a present. Postage is free on these and you can arrange to buy one on this link.
Thanks all - back soon with what was in this box from the team over at JD Sports..

I bought that skirt last year in the grey & black. Have worn them both so much. Real bargains. Love yours with the simple tee & the lovely scarf & necklace.
