A New Primark Stretch Top.

Morning my friends.

Did you have a good week?

I've had a busy one starting with dancing on Friday where we learnt a new routine for the waltz. It's a wonderful dance and I loved learning the new steps and managed to work my way around the dance floor quite elegantly.  That was under the supervision of the teacher, who's very good at his job!

Saturday, after watching my grandson in his football match (they won and he got a trophy for best goal), I came home to cut the grass. Both front and back took a couple of hours which included trimming our willow tree and collecting the spoil. I was exhausted at the end and was pleased to spend the evening with my daughter having a BBQ that her husband cooked. First one of the season and with fairly good weather I even sat in the garden whilst it was cooking. Have you had a BBQ yet?

Sunday morning started well - I enjoyed having a lie in & then I had the Airbnb clean to do with my daughter. It’s in the heart of Whitstable and is quite popular with visitors! Have you ever been to Whitstable?

When that was done I came home to get ready for a friends birthday celebration. It was a lovely afternoon where I enjoyed roast lamb, chicken and potatoes with a couple of tasty salads, halloumi cheese and flat bread. It was delicious and both David and I had a wonderful time. They have a stunning house which overlooks the sea and I was happy to be inside as the wind was like gale force with the seas looking very rough indeed. A fun weekend that was over way too quickly. Gym today and the beginning of another fab week, what have you got planned?

Do you recall last Thursday I featured a khaki co-ord from Primark? Well this pretty pale blue top came from there too!

I’ve seen plenty of this stretchy style recently and quite like how easy to wear it is. It’s a style that can be dressed up or worn casually like I’ve done here. 

I picked some old linen trousers that have a comfy drawstring waist, pockets and are a wide leg style. This would be the perfect travel companion and I’ll be wearing it over jeans or maybe my white full skirt. 

Blue and white is a match made in heaven isn’t it. I know white goes with so much - especially pastel shades so adding some tonal extras by way of the cornflower blue blazer and french blue leather bag makes the look so much more interesting. 

Every so often I call upon my good friend the three-colour-rule. It’s a good way of putting garments together. 

Three shades mix nicely, even tonal work well. You can include jewellery too, my gold necklace and earrings are classic colours as well. This rule is a simple and effective method to ensure a stylish and refined look without having to overthink anything. 

Here’s a closer look at the little leather bag. It’s a recent gift from Elie Beaumont and I’m pleased to say I’m still affiliated with them and would be delighted to share my personal code with you, just use JQ10 at checkout my friends. 

Thank you for being here, it's good to have your continued support.

Do find your way back here on Thursday for the Linkup.

Cheerio my friends. X
