Today was the first day I turned up the jeans and got the ankles (almost) and arms out!
Top - Telco
Jeans - Maison Scotch
Scarf - M&S (old)
Taupe Suede Ankle Boots - Mango (old)
Pendant - A21 Charity Pendant from this post
It was a gorgeous day with sun streaming in the windows and my kitchen worktops were fitted! So so pleased with them and I promise I'll share before/during/after photos once we've unpacked boxes, cleared out all the tools and had the room painted.
The top I'm wearing is a bit of a find from Tesco the other evening. It's a very simple floaty t-shirt style top with a longer back and split/pleated sides in a neutral shade of grey/blue. I also picked up the same top in black. They're down to £8 in the sale - a great wardrobe staple. I bought 12's in both and they're on the large side.
And if you're looking an inexpensive breton, this one caught my eye in Tesco also. Just £7 with a boat neckline though I had to size up to a 14 so they're not generous. Not online yet but there were loads in Newtownbreda. The blue is brighter than the pictures - more of a royal blue rather than a navy.
And the hair has gone shorter - took the head staggers at the news that Johnny would be out of the country for 7 weeks so I asked for an 'Emma Willis' inspired short cut. Really pleased with it - here's a close up of it (and my new mugs - a clue to my kitchen colour scheme!) ahead of my trying on session.
Hope you've had a good week, especially those of you still on half term - my lot went back on Wednesday thankfully. It's been so tricky managing school holidays and renovations!

ReplyDeleteYour hair looks fab, I'm feeling so ready for a colour change with spring arriving!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great Breton, I'll have to pop to tesco & see if they're in store :) x
Love the hair! Tesco has turned up a few gems for me lately too, not something I thought I'd ever hear myself saying, but it does soften the blow a little when you can incorporate your purchases into the weekly shop!

Your hair looks fabulous, Avril. I love it! I can't wait for spring now. I've been veering towards brighter clothes this week in the hope that it might spur it on! Lynne xx
ReplyDeleteCannot wait for Spring Avril - still pretty cold round here but the sun has been out this half term - bonus! I really like the breton - will have to pop into my local Tesco shortly. Loving the shorter hair - really suits you! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Avril (hair twin!) , sounds like your on the home straits now, the shorter do looks great, I love Emma's hair but the curls don't let me go that short! All the best Pippa
ReplyDeleteHair looks amazing Avril. That breton is a steal!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks amazing Avril, really really suits you. I've gone back to online food shopping so not hit my local Tesco for a while, must pay it a visit soon as those tops are a great find x
ReplyDeleteAll the crocuses are out now but today has been atrocious with heavy rain and a howling gale.
ReplyDeleteThe Tesco breton looks good! I rarely look at women's clothes in ours as it's incredibly messy which instantly sets me on edge. Love your new 'do too :)
Hair looks great! Really suits you. I miss being away from a big Tesco as you can always find some great bits in there, lovely top x
ReplyDeletereally love the new hair, and a new Breton is ALWAYS acceptable!
