It started with sandals...

I never checked the weather, having been lulled into a false sense of summer security over the past week so when I pulled up the blinds just before taking these photos, I got a shock as it was raining!

Jacket - M&S (years old - hard to find a dark collarless denim jacket - this is similar but ££!)

Khaki Jeggings - M&S

White Top - Heatons

Tan Sandals - Topshop

Tan Handbag - FatFace

Necklace - Freedom @ Topshop (old)

So the sandals were never going to work. Cue a quick shoe change, that necessitated a bag change, that necessitated a necklace change (mixed metals are a no-no) and then I preferred the lighter denim in my other denim jacket.

Jeans & Top as before

Black Handbag - Gap (sold out - love this one!)

Denim Jacket - Vero Moda (past season - similar here)

Black Trainers - Dune London (sold out in black - similar on sale)

Silver Geo Necklace - SGS Shop

Is it any wonder I'm always rushing to get breakfast into me before I take the kids to school? As it turned out, it absolutely chucked it down on the school run - proper soaked to the skin kind of rain so I was glad to have my trainers on. However, as I type, the sun has come out again so it looks like I'll be collecting the kids in sandals :)

Ah, you've got to love the Irish summer...

Ps I promise I'll not go on about it but I've started a bit of a health kick after getting a shock when I stood on the scales at the weekend. But talk about subliminal messages....yesterday I read 7 More Reasons to Drink Coconut Water - shared by my friend Nicky (who blogs here) and then today, this arrived with a courier...

I'll be honest, I'm not overly fond of the stuff but I'm going to give it a go in the interests of research and to keep me from drinking tea and coffee (with biscuits) during the day. Wish me luck :) x
