Double Denim - Don't Care! - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Morning my lovely friends.
Apologies for no post last Monday! Busy family times, and not one iota of inspiration is my defence your honor - lol
How are you all?
How scary to think it's nearly the longest day.  Being shut away these past couple of months has been very weird!  It's affected everyone in different ways I can't wait for it to be over.  With the reopening of a variety of non-essential shops and services I feeling quite positive about the next few weeks and what changes I can take advantage of.  Fashion shops will be open which makes me feel very happy, I can not wait to get shopping, and after all we need the economy to get up and running don't we!
I've got some birthday money to spend and have a long list of necessities.  Well to me they are much needed. 
You know I've taken up running so need some new leggings as mine are too big and start falling down when I jog, so I spend most of the run trying to pull them up - not a pretty sight!  I've seen a couple of pairs in my local Matalan, but online were sold out, I'll be popping in to see what they have and hope they might have gone in the sale! 😉
Back to my outfit today, these are very much available online.
You might recall I wore them last week when I shared these brilliant sandals from Vandal Shoes.  I hummed and arrhed whether to shorten them or not - I decided to go-for-it so chopped a good five inches off the bottom.  I pulled at the hem to make them fray which made them look older!  I'm really pleased with the outcome & having worn them two more times since their last outing they've become a firm favourite for the foreseeable future.  Now having said that I love to wear dresses!  But they just aren't all that practical are they, especially when picking up the grand-kids and crawling about on the floor with them. ha ha 🤣
Today I've gone down the double denim route.  How often do you hear "you shouldn't wear double denim" ?  Well I for one don't care!  It looks okay don't you think and it saves having to look for a suitable alternative jacket eh?  I like the fact it's not actually matching denim, the colours are different so It's not a complete suit is it.


Wearing yellow always brightens my mood.  I have a few tops in this summery shade and it never fails to please me.  I picked this little cami top up in George, bought for a summer holiday I've had fun wearing it through-out the summer over the past couple of years.  It looks fabulous with light blue so these culottes were an easy choice to partner them with.  See when I wore yellow in the past with sunflowers, in all-over yellow &  teamed with stripes.





Nothing new to share here today, just golden oldies from my wardrobe.  The top has been around a good couple of years and the jacket is positively ancient!  I've always wanted to update the jacket, but as there's nothing wrong with this one I wonder what's the point!  I do fancy getting a white one, but as I've not found one yet I'll keep searching.  The necklace is also an old friend, so old I can't remember where it came from!!!  Did I buy it, was it a gift from a friend or did I just acquire it - with my memory we'll just never know! He he he!!


Read all about my mellow yellow sandals here.  These are a standard pair of buckle sandals, which are anything but basic!  The heel is the perfect height, the straps and fastening are in just the right place and who doesn't love yellow!  I'm so pleased these are in my collection!  They slip into so many outfits and are well worthy of the £45 price tag! 

Pale blue and bright canary yellow a combination to love - yay or nay??

  1. I love blue and yellow together! What a great way to do double denim, and the necklace is the perfect finishing touch! :)

    Our stores here have been open for a while now - a lot of them stayed open the whole way through, but some shut. I've only just started last week venturing out to them - I still think I'll do most of my shopping online, but it's nice being able to go browse! :)

    Thanks for the link up!

    Hope that you are having a good week :)

  6. Hi Jacqui, that's lovely to be featured, thank you. Loving your yellow top, yellow is growing on me ... it is not a colour I wear much. I am feeling quite fed up today, so much rain, I shouldn't complain really as we have been so fortunate with the sun! Love Michelle x

  7. I love the new length of your culottes! And pairing it with yellow is perfect for summer! You had me laughing describing how you have to pull your leggings up when you are running: that has happened to me before. Hoping to get back to running soon, hoping these shin splints heal sooner rather than later.

  12. I love double denim, Jacqui! You styled it perfectly. So cute! I am glad you will get to go shopping soon. I actually am experiencing a lot of anxiety about going to public places (I am sharing a bit about that in tomorrow's blog post). I am wondering if others are feeling the same.
