So this outfit totally gives it away that my outfit posts are several days behind the actual day I wore them - everyone in the UK knows the gorgeous weather has turned this week and it's no longer "summer"! We had so many beautiful days up to yesterday that I couldn't keep up with posting all the outfits I photographed. I hope no-one minds; I would post every day if I had the time but I'd have to choose to stop either eating, sleeping, exercising or going to work ;)
Well I certainly never expected to be getting bare legs out so early in the year - they still look so white in the photos even though I'd already started the spray tan. =Grrrreat= And I LOVE this light summery sweater but it is a bugger for catching and pulling. Note to self: don't wear a scaley snake bracelet with fine knits. You'll regret it...!
Happy Wednesday, lovely readers!

ReplyDeleteI am such a fool to not have contacted you regarding our How I Wear My post today...Jill and I did colorblocking this month and you would have been the ideal person to show us all how to do it.
And of course, I adore this pattern mixing look on you...the blue really sets it all off.

You know I think you did tell me earlier in the month, Adrienne, but I totally forgot... I think I should make a little bloggy calendar for all these link ups etc.!! Never mind, I'll come over and see what next month will be and make a note ;)
