A Rainy (Summer’s) Day Outfit | Blue Honeysuckle Trench with Yellow and Lilac

Most Brits might agree right now that summer feels like it’s over (the wind and rain today is hideous)!

Normally it saves itself for Wimbledon fortnight but up till now we’ve had quite a few lovely days so far this month. The only upside to the wet weather was having a chance to wear my new Hobbs honeysuckle trench coat  – a gorgeous blend of style classic and modern floral print. Its lovely blue colour deserved some other deep pastels to set it off for a wet Sunday: I went with sunshine yellow and a lilac midi skirt.

Both the skirt and flats are SS14 unfortunately, but I am now crushing on this Ted Baker floral midi that I found whilst looking for alternatives for you. I’m also loving these two-tone gold and silver flats that I found after a search… these searches can be dangerous for one’s own bank balance! My restraint isn’t all that good and I regularly find myself making use of a retailer’s “Saved Items” list. I use the Asos, La Redoute and Zalando wish lists all the time.

Do you use retailers’ Saved Items lists or Wish Lists? Which ones do you use the most? Do share in the comments (I’d love to know some great new ones to make use of)!
