The garden looks a bit different than this today – we woke up to snow yesterday and even more this morning! We managed to make a very small snowman but he’s already looking a bit worse for wear…his nose fell of within minutes! I expect that by tomorrow everywhere will just be a sludgy mess.
Today’s outfit is a combination of a couple of new sale purchases and an eBay bargain. I’m sure you know how much I love the Fabienne Chapot label…I’m actually wearing two pieces from the brand today. I’ve had the hat a while now and have previously worn it with a grey coat and pink trousers. (I also have the hat in blue and green). I bought this fabulous Fabienne Chapot alien print shirt on eBay – it was a tense auction but I got the winning bid in with only seconds left on the auction! At only £13.50 I was overjoyed, especially because I thought I’d been outbid.
It’s even better quality than I expected; I have a few other Fabienne Chapot tops but this is the nicest fabric of them all. It’s so soft but quite weighty for a shirt, which means it hands really well. The charming neck tie and deep cuffs are really lovely details. After taking these photos I was on a video call to my dad and he said he really liked it…that’s praise indeed!
I wasn’t initially intending to wear the shirt with these velvet trousers, but they were on the bed so I’d thought I try them; I bought them with the intention of wearing them as loungewear but they’re thicker than I anticipated so I could wear them out. The cropped length of the trousers works well with these square toe ankle boots for a retro feel. They’re from the vegan range at Marks & Spencer and I’m so pleased with them. I couldn’t help adding them to my basket when I was shopping for my mother-in-law’s presents. For going out/going to work I could add either my velvet or satin black jacket to complete the outfit.

Snow? Don’t send it our way please! I sometimes see Fabienne Chabot clothing on the site where I buy my preloved clothing and always have to think about you then! I wish you a great New Years Eve and a wonderful 2021!
Emma, you are so fun, my friend! I love this whimsical alien print in bright pink. And your pink newsboy cap is adorable. These velvet pants are also so wonderful. Wishing you all the best in the new year!

I’ve got the same blouse but have never worn it with the scarf thing (I wasn’t sure what that was for!). It looks great with the fun baker boy cap and cute bag.
Love this whimsical alien print shirt! What a great way to usher out 2020,I know I feel like a stranger in a strange land this year. Wishing for a brighter tomorrow, and hope you have a very happy and healthy New Year!
Your blouse is fabulous! Love the print! Happy New Year!

This shirt is SO fun!! I love the bright pink and alien pattern, and it was such a steal too. I’ve been hoping for enough snow to make a snowman, but it has still hardly snowed here. Happy new year!

I have totally experienced that tense moment where you think you might be outbid at the last minute—eBay auctions are nerve-wracking! But glad you won that amazing blouse!
