How’s your week going so far? I’m visiting my mum for a few days as she turns 80 on Thursday! The weather is definitely sunnier on this side of the country (although we had some big rumbles of thunder last night!). While I’m here I’m doing some more boxing up, even though the house move has hit the buffers. Why does buying/selling houses have to be so stressful? Anyway, it’s better to be prepared and ready to go.
I didn’t get chance to do any outfit photos over the weekend due to the rain so I brought my tripod and camera with me. It feels like a while since I last wore an orange outfit. Looking back, it was August’s Style Not Age when I last dressed head to toe in my favourite colour. As I packed in a rush, I threw a load of orange clothes in my bag and hoped for the best! As you can see, the end result of my haphazard packing was orange frills and floral print…one of my favourite combinations!
You may have seen the shirt before when I wore it with my retro print suit (all from The Hippie Shake). These trousers are new – reduced from £49 to only £15 in the sale. They fabric is a lovely soft, lightweight cotton, they will be ideal for holidays. I am already thinking about what to take to Madeira with me in a few weeks; it’s striking the balance of keeping my holiday wardrobe fresh and trying to be more environmentally friendly when it comes to clothes. I will be going through the archives to see what I can rediscover!

Thanks very much Kathrine!
Orange is definintely your color, Emma, and this is a lovely look. When it comes to vacations, I tend to think that I don’t have anything to wear which is really quite silly because what have I been wearing all along? I try not to buy something specifically for the trip but I do bring along items that I’ve recently bought but haven’t worn yet. Anyway, I hope that the rest of you week stays dry.
