Lime Green Pleated Skirt and Black Vest

What glorious weather we’ve had over the Bank Holiday weekend! I enjoyed two days at home but was back at work yesterday for a long day. How I’d loved to have been at the Reading festival, enjoying the music and sunshine! Oh well, maybe next year.

This lime green pleated skirt and black vest are both charity shop bargains, costing less than £10 for the two!

We took these photos during a similarly warm and sunny spell a couple of weeks ago at my mum’s. When I say we, I mean Isobel and me (she’s quite keen to get either behind or in front of the camera!). During our stay we did a bit of shopping, including our usual visit to the local charity shops. This lime green pleated skirt and black vest are both charity shop bargains, costing less than £10 for the two! I wasn’t sure about the skirt at first, but when I got it home and tried it on I was glad I’d bought it.

I didn’t have my entire wardrobe at my disposal so I teamed it with nude sandals and my Jennifer Hamley bag. The zip off clutch comes in very handy for a quick day-to-night outfit change. However I mostly use it as a laptop bag. I took quite a lot of jewellery with me but somehow still didn’t have a bracelet that looked right with the outfit. So I looked through some old bits and pieces that are still in my bedroom at my mum’s and came across a gold bangle. That was just the job. I added a pair of earrings that I’d bought the previous day in John Lewis (£4 at half price), rose gold necklace and chunky Ottoman Hands ring.

…somehow I managed to forget my eighth blog anniversary a few days ago!

On a completely different topic, somehow I managed to forget my eighth blog anniversary a few days ago! It was only when Shelbee said that she’d forgotten hers that I remembered! I published my first blog post on August 23rd 2011; it seems like such a long time ago now, but I honestly can’t remember what I did with my spare time before blogging!

My second blog post, which I published almost eight years ago to the day, is also set in my mum’s garden. The beautiful yellow flowers provided a charming late Summer backdrop then too.

I wonder if I’ll still be blogging in eight years’ time? I certainly hope so! 🙂
