It’s summer!!!!! After weeks of rain, cold and downright miserable weather, it finally became summer about a week ago in Blighty… at last! So the problem I then have with the office I work in is that it gets incredibly hot when the sun is out and the temperature rises – no air con of course – so I have to be dressed to stay as cool as possible. It’s proper freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer in there; the temperature is so rarely just right.
Anyway enough moaning…! Although I never need an excuse to break out the brights, it’s nice to pile on the jewellery and try a new updo – this time I’ve done my hair in the side plaits and up on top of my head rather than using the fake plaited hairband I wore here. I think it’s my new fave hot weather hairdo; you may be seeing it a lot more, folks 😉
Happy, happy Tuesday, hope everyone is well!

A fun outfit, but your style a little break. I like the shirt and I like many complementary colors. The hairstyle is also different from your style, but it's great.

Aww thank you so much, Jessica-Anne, what a lovely compliment! C x
Gorgeous color. I love the top and pants contrasting patterns. I can't imagine weathering the summer without AC!
It doesn't normally get super hot in the UK, Terri, but when it does it's soooo humid 🙁 Anyway so glad you like the outfit – thank you!! xo
Your office sounds like my house – always either freezing or sweltering, never any in between!
I really, really love your hair like this, and am thinking I need to try this style out myself. And also find some trousers like these – seriously amazing!
Yep it was sweltering in that place again today, Amber! And the plaits would look amazing with your gorgeous red hair… thanks sweetie! xxx
love the outfit, the arm candy, the hair, everything!
Aww thanks, hun! C xx
Your pants are super cute! Love all the colors in this outfit. And your arm party is a seriously fun party.

I'm so glad you finally have nice weather! I love your pattern mixing, but my favorite part of the outfit is that lightning bolt ring. I'm not normally a ring person, but that one reminds me of Harry Potter and so of course now I want it 🙂
Thank you Stacey sweetie… the link to the ring is on the outfit details if you wanted to check it out – from ASOS, so the price was quite reasonable! C x
Thanks for stopping by Catherine! I enjoyed reading your 'about me', 'about the blog', 'down memory lane' tabs….I turned 30 last year so I know that feeling! I had anxiety about that for 1.5 years. Oh well, can't stop it! Following now. 😉
I'm so glad you liked them, Mary Ann… thanks so much for following and welcome!! C xx
You look so cool in the heat, lovely Catherine! Such a terrific tote bag too.
Oooh it's my favourite at the moment, Patti! Thanks hun! xx
Love your hair like that! I wish I had an patience whatsoever with updos. Lovely mix of patterns and colors!

I hadn't tried it before, thinking it would be more difficult than it actually was… a lot easier and quicker than I thought!! Thanks Lauren! xx
Your trousers are brilliant and they suit you so well! I don't know how you do it, but every outfit of yours I'd love to wear! 😀
That's so lovely of you to say – thank you Madeline!! xoxo
