Co-Ord from M&S - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Morning all. 
How are you my friends?

Mixed weather here as always, yesterday was beautifully sunny but the wind was up, the day before was positively horrible - very overcast and drizzly.  I had my hygienst appointment, which was wonderful - my teeth have looked so much brighter and cleaner since - it's totally worth the cost!
Gym classes as usual, which I'm really enjoying atm.  I go from hating the classes to not being able to get enough and wanting to go to more!  My classes include, spin, pilates, Body Attack and Legs, Bums and Tum's.  I do two on Monday and two on a Wednesday which works for me because it actually takes so much time out of the day.  I'd go everyday if I'm honest, but it doesn't leave much time for anything else!

You will remember I told you about a co-ord I picked from Marks & Spencer on Monday. Well I thought you’d like to see it featured today. 


Every year there will be items of clothing from various stores that become popular, selling out in no time and being hard to track down.  Well this year it seems this co-ord has been a favourite amongst shoppers deeming the two piece hard to track down.  I managed to find this one on the website and without a thought bought it! 

I love wearing a dress and have got so many hanging in my wardrobe (and surrounding rails), because they are so easy to style. However I'm wondering if my way is becoming outdated.  Let me explain. When I look at Instagram'ers and bloggers I see many of them, and you, styling separates in such a different way.  Mixing colours and styles uniquely - resulting in fabulous looks that are full of textures, tones and unusual accessories.  So with that said I reckon my recent purchase from M & S will be a winning addition to my wardrobe as there'll be plenty of scope to work with throughout the coming months. 



Shall I spill the beans on this two piece beauty from M&S? Check has been popular throughout the ages and always makes some kind of appearance in the fashion stakes. This soft and floaty number has a hint of burgundy running through it making it perfect for any pink lovers. I immediately thought of adding this burgundy bag to the equation as it just needs that bright accent to lift it up a level. I could have chosen all black but felt that would make it bit dowdy. You can view the reel here where I added pink and red into the mix and really like both additions, I’ll be wearing this with these

  5. I really have only one skirt/top set that I do like, and I think if I had to choose which to have more of, I would choose dresses! This one is fun and different! While I have seen lots of ideas with sets, I tend to not wear mine that much.

  6. You look great in the plaid co-ord set and I love the second way you styled the top, too. The set will be very versatile in your wardrobe to mix and match, especially since it is neutral colors. Thanks so much for the favorite shout out, and also for hosting the link up. Hope you have a good week!

  7. I don't know that dresses will ever be out of style. At least, I hope not! But, I like having the ability to mix and match. Your co-ord will do just that. I can see that top with your faux leather skirt and culottes, too! Thanks so much for the link up!

  8. Lovely shades of grey, Jacqui. You look so gorgeous in that outfit. And the dark color of your hair complements this beautiful effect.
