Flooding & Leaf Print
What a week - somebody remind me this is June? I'm battling on however with my bright colours and prints as it's one way to keep the spirits up...
Here I am in our post-flood garden wearing my new Room 31 top. It's got a great rubber plant leaf-print going on which is so different to a lot of the bird/butterfly patterns everywhere. I also love the detail on this top - the frill down the front and a cute button detail on the shoulders...
I mentioned the flooding because Northern Ireland saw torrential rain this week. Here is the garden just the evening before:
And here's Mr School Gate Style and my 8 year old (wearing my Merrell Wakefield - kept him totally dry!) trying to sweep the water towards a manhole:
Thankfully, the next day was dry(ish) and fairly warm but even now, a couple of days later, there's a puddle in the garden...and it's still raining, although in a more 'normal' way....because rain in June is now the norm. Sigh.
I wore my Room 31 top with Primark skinnies, Deichmann pumps (read more on my Facebook page) and when I went out, I popped on this M&S poncho/scarf/throw. Don't quite know how to describe it but it's great at this time of the year!
Ok, off to plan tomorrow's bright & cheery outfit...have a great day x
WOW - can't believe all the rain! hope it didn't cause any damage x
ReplyDeleteTHanks Ruth - it was ok in the end. Didn't make it to the doors thankfully! x

I hope so Anne - really do - for all our sakes! So depressing all this rain! x
DeleteLove the top - that green really suits you! The garden doesn't look too bad now - I'm sure it will recover...we've got big storms passing today - this weather is SO weird - meanwhile Colorado is burning and the East coast of USA is in 3 digit heat wave...
ReplyDeleteIt's unreal...wet & cold over in France too...hard to know where to go on holidays anymore! x
DeleteLove that top on you and I hope the weather improves for you this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharron xx
DeleteLoving the rubber plant leaf top...
ReplyDeleteThanks Patricia for dropping by and for your lovely comment. It's a great top...can't wait to wear it with some shorts/chino, Avril x
DeleteI just noticed that you are now the model for this top on the Room31 website - is that the new sideline?!
ReplyDeleteLol....yes! The start of my modelling career...have come to the table 20 years too late, 2 stone too heavy and 4 inches too short! I don't fancy my chances :) xx
