Citrus summer outfit - Style Steal


Morning my lovely friends.
Hope you've had a super weekend and are looking forward to the forthcoming week.
Another busy weekend for Mumma B.  Starting with Friday my wedding anniversary.  Thirty three years married to my soul mate.  We normally celebrate with a meal in our favourite restaurant, but sadly we weren't able to get a reservation, so not wanting to go anywhere different we decided to book for next week and do what we normally do - hubby went to the pub and I went ballroom dancing. Romantic eh?  We did meet for a drink afterwards which was still lovely.
Saturday the usual cutting grass, food shop and housework followed by an evening with my girls as the fellas we out for a drink in town.
Sunday was wonderful, a lazy morning making way for birthday celebrations for a good friends birthday.  BBQ weather, so relaxing in the eclectic garden with old and new friends was good.  The Greek meat was cooked on a spit with various Greek salads adding variety to the tasty meal.  There was pavlova and cupcakes for desert along with a few glasses of Prosecco to wash it down.  There was even time for a little boogie before cabs were called!

This month's Style Steal is due today.  I fancied copying this one for a while.  I knew I had the same clothes already - so it wasn't a hard one at all.  Can you guess who my copy is from?







Did you guess who my candidate was?  It's Anna - Anna's Island Style. She's shared her summer citrus outfit consisting of very bright orange trousers complimented by the equally bright lime green jacket with a colourful swirling mixture of the two in her top.  My look wasn't quite as juicy as Anna's fabulous combo, but still the same citric overload don't you think!  All I keep thinking about now is a G & T (Bombay Sapphire) with ice and a slice of pink grapefruit!!!  How do you take yours?



My basic neon outfit was made up from orange M & S trousers, a silky yellow top from Matalan topped off with a recent gifted item from Bonmarche.  You can read more about the biker jacket over on this previous blog page where I featured it with a graphic tee and grey trousers.


I had planned on a corresponding necklace, but unfortunately didn't have one to hand - but it's definitely needed to finish off the look, in my eyes.   This would have been perfect!


I did manage to find sandals that worked well - I'll be featuring them in the next week or so.  Watch out for these from Lotus Shoes as they tick plenty of boxes!



Thanks so much for popping by today, so nice to have you here.
Have a happy week, Mine will be busy again for sure, and I'll look forward to sharing all on Thursday.
Until then it's been fun.
Bye for now. X

  3. Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you
    get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you
    can suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any help
    is very much appreciated.
