This week’s outfit is quite a contrast to last week’s Upcycled Adidas dress! From festival finery to smart casual for the office, my wardrobe is a real mixed bag. I wore this navy blazer and jeans for work at the weekend. It’s an easy outfit formula that I can throw on in minutes. The dark denim wide leg style looks more polished than lighter washed jeans, making them office appropriate. The contrast of dark blue and bright red is a classic colour combination. The shirt by Scotch & Soda was an absolute bargain at £14 a few years ago. Together with the Pom Amsterdam blazer, it’s a double Dutch combination!
The link up is a couple of days late this week because my attention has been focused on Teddy, one of my cats, who has been poorly. He went off his food and became lethargic, then had an upset tummy. We’ve had three trips to the vet, including a whole day of monitoring, IV fluids, scans, x-rays etc. Nothing really showed up, apart from an inflamed gut, so it’s probably a bad bout of gastroenteritis. I’m very glad I took my time to get a decent pet insurance policy because the total bill is nudging £2k! He’s much perkier now, so hopefully he will be back to normal soon. The bald patches where they shaved his fur may take a while to regrow though! I’m hoping for a quiter week next week!

Thank you Kathrine!
We had it with Castor a few weeks ago. The stress you get when a pretty isn’t feeling okay. We don’t have a insurance, perhaps we should. And Castor also had these bold patches, hi looks really weird now. Great outfit Emma! Love those trousers on you and what a beautiful bag. Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you Nancy! Yes, I remember reading about Castor, it’s so worrying. When Henry was at the end of his life my insurance didn’t cover anything, so I made sure to get a better policy with these two. Vets charge so much! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you for the feature, Emma. Sorry about your cat, glad it is better now. We have two vets in a family but none of us have any animals but I believe the vet’s bill here is quite high too. Totally love your outfit, blazer with jeans is so go to office staple these days. Thank you for hosting
Glad your kitty is okay. Love the navy and red!

Oh no, poor Teddy! Sending lots of healing energy to him. Having a sick pet can be so hard. I wish they could just tell us what’s wrong! This is a really cute weekend work outfit. I always like red and blue together and the dark denim with a blazer always looks so smart to me!

Love the navy “suit” with your signature orange accent! So sorry to hear your kitty is feeling ill – I hope he’s back to good health very soon.
Thank you so much for featuring my post with the long dress and Birkenstocks : )
I really appreciate it.
You look lovely and very smart with your navy blazer and jeans.
