What to wear with White Jeans - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Morning all. 
How are you?

Hopefully better than me!
Last Saturday evening I went out with my husbands and son and had a delicious Japanese dinner. First time for me and it was amazing. We had a couple of drinks before heading to the taxi rank. I unfortunately twisted my foot when the heel of my shoe went down a hole in the cobblestones. I didn’t fall over but the next day I couldn’t walk properly and was hobbling about. I’ve rested it with ice packs on at various stages along with an ibuprofen cream and am seeing how it goes. So as you can imagine I’ve not been to my usual gym classes and have been staying indoors most of the time. I’ve managed to get a few bits done and even managed to try out some new Laura Geller products namely the mascara and eyeliner. Do head over to see my reel all about it. 🤍

Today’s post talks about my white jeans. They’re a new addition and I can’t wait to get wearing them! Need to wait until my foot heals as wearing anything high or tight on my foot is out of the question.

September Review.

Good morning my friends. 
How are you?

I can’t believe it’s a new month. I was literally looking through my new posts and soon realised it was indeed a new month and the first Monday means it’s a post to look back on the past month to see what I’ve been wearing. 

I’ve had a super weekend and even managed to get the grass cut! It’s not too long but I had thought it wouldn’t need cutting again this year due to the drought in the UK. However with a little bit of rain and a lot of sun the grass sprouted as did the weeds! So I got both front and back grass done on Saturday so it’s nice and tidy now. 

The weekend wasn’t too busy, grass cutting was the highlight! I had a little look at some fashion outfit ideas, I’ve got a new pair of white jeans that I can’t wait to style. You’ll be the first to see I promise!

Now let’s get back to the post, it’s all about my recent posts and what I’ve been doing and what I wore to do it in!

What would you wear to a Wine Tasting event? I picked a pretty polka dot dress to attend Chartham Vineyard for David’s birthday gift. The vineyard is local to us and we spent a wonderful few hours hearing about the grapes, how they came about and also got to taste the end result. Guess how many bottles we came home with?

Military Style - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Hello and welcome to the blog. 
How’s your week going?

Our weather here in the UK has been fabulous. It’s been hot and sunny and I’ve learnt that my favourite all round temperature would be 21degrees! That’s just such a comfortable temperature to go about all our daily business without needing and extra layer or umbrella! I’ve often thought are there any areas that offer this ambience consistently? Do let me know if there is such an area!!

With ‘unusually‘ hot weather recently I’ve been concentrating on outfits that fit this in-between period. For sure colder weather will arrive soon enough it’s just a case of when it’ll be. 
So this season is filled with lightweight trousers, tee shirts, light jumpers or jackets and sandals or open flats. My outfit today emulates the weather nicely as it can shift between hotter temperatures and cooler days. Do let me know if it’ll be something you’d wear!
