Enticing the sun to come out and stay! - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Hiya my friends. 
Don't mind me I'm lazing in the garden as it way too hot to do anything ... 
Urmm, sorry I was dreaming it's actually very cold and rather changeable here in the UK isn't it, one minute it's sunny, the next it's pouring with rain!  I'm itching to get into my summer clothes but most of them are still waiting to be worn!  I've not even put many of my jumpers & tracksuits away as I'm still wearing them!  What's going on with mother nature, with mixed weather from the remnants of Storm Alex later in the week it's not going to get any better is it!  I feel like investing in a trendy rain mac will be a good idea, ha ha!

What's the best thing to do when the weather is crap?  Wear something bright and cheerful of course.  
My yellow and white outfit is to inspire some sunshine to arrive and banish the rain - hope it works!


I had fantastic feedback from the Birthstone Beauties outfit I wore last week, and lots of you loved my bright yellow trousers so I thought it fitting to share them again in a different guise.  I'm thrilled to actually fit into them again, since putting my weight on after losing it before Covid I'm pleased to say it's slowly coming off again!  
Instead of following a Keto diet (which is a brilliant way to lose weight, to be honest) I've been calorie counting.  It's a bit faffy to start with but once I had an idea of what I was doing and worked out what calories were in each amount of food and drink it's been quite easy to follow - you literally weigh and count EVERYTHING you consume.  I've been using this app which has been so helpful.  Do let me know if you need any help or information about it, I'd love to help you. X


I'm afraid as these delicious trousers are a few years old, they aren't available now.  I've linked a couple below in the Shop My Look section.
I've gone for layers today, well with the weather so unpredictable it's the best option.  I started with a little white cami and popped this pretty sheer short sleeved blouse over the top.  It's a white see through style, so for me, needs a T under it.  It has a nice flower detail over it that has a yellow spot in the middle.  You can see how I paired it for Autumn with my chocolate culottes and mustard T shirt. 
I remembered I had this linen blazer and loved how it looked, with the floral blouse popping through.  It's a nice quality linen that doesn't crease too much, some linens look awful when they're so creased up!

I took a chance with these mules to be fair, well it literally hammered it down earlier in the afternoon and had dried up by the time these photos were taken - that was lucky eh!

  3. Summery vibes but need the jacket, I know the feeling Jacqui, but you're looking great. I keep trying to sort the wardrobe too and then diving back into the long sleeves. It's nearly Midsummer's Day and, then, as my mother used to say 'the night's will start drawing in'!!! Haha, sorry for the very cheerful comment, something better has to be in the pipeline for us.

  10. I do love those trousers: such fun bow detail! I am trying to wear more white as it is a pretty contrast with color: today white skirt with a printed green top. Not cold here but lots of rain this week.

  13. Oh, that little sheer top is quite good, isn't it? I do love yellow and white together, and you've done such a fabulous job with it! Our weather here in the middle of the US has been cool and rainy. But next week is supposed to be 98 which is almost 37 in the UK! Thank goodness for air conditioning! And, thank you for the link party!
