The top is one I picked up last week on a long overdue visit to my favourite consignment store, DejaVu on the Lisburn Road. It's from Mexx and I really liked the colour and the shape. It's also a first outing for this pleather jacket I bought on eBay over the summer. It's from Warehouse and not exactly what I was looking for as it's a little short on the body. But I knew it would look good with this top and for that reason, I'm going to keep it for a little longer to see if it gets out for a few more wears.
As I'm still off heels, I wore my Johnnie B gold sparkly flats...a total bargain at £16. They're only available in navy online now, though the navy has a leather upper so are well priced. Size wise, I have the 40 - perfect for my 6.5 feet. My Jeans are from Gap.
My handbag is the Cole Haan one I bought in New York and my necklace is an oldie from Freedom at Topshop. My arm candy is a mixture of gifts - a sparkly bracelet from India that my friend Catherine gave me, an Gucci watch that my Mother In Law passed onto me as she wasn't wearing it enough and a magnetix healing bracelet that was sent to me when I was unwell.
And as I loved this outfit so much, I substituted the sparkly flats for a pair of ankle boots and was able to wear it again the next day...result!
Before I go, just to let you know that I've just got in the first of my new jewellery stock in - on this link. I've bought a couple of stunning statement pieces for special occasions and also some more delicate layering pieces.

Gorgeous soft colours in this outfit, Avril. Just lovely. Your new jacket goes perfectly with the top - a keeper I'd say! Off to check out your new stock! Lynne xx
ReplyDeleteI have that jacket! But in tan :) I love your sparkly shoes. I'm definitely more of a 'flats' person, and these are so pretty and look great dressing up an outfit. x

I love all the soft, neutral colours Avril so this is right up my street. Off to check out your super-dooper statement pieces x
ReplyDeleteStone is my favourite colour for a jacket! I got a gorgeous biker in the Mint Velvet sale years ago and it goes with everything and getting better with age! I think you'll end up keeping that one. Ooh - I dream of a girls night out at the moment! x
ReplyDeleteHave I told you how great the new haircut is? I have? Oh well, here it is again. Love the haircut!
ReplyDeleteCan't tell you the last time I had a girls night out - I'm going to a friends tonight in Oxford for a pre-birthday dinner but her daughter will be there & I'm taking my two so doesn't really count!
Love the soft colours and the jacket and top work so well together! Hope you're doing ok with your back and it's all onwards and upwards from here
