of all the gin joints in the world..



mustard heels: primark



floral pinafore dress: handmade by me !



elephant blazer: primark

 I know I've been fairly quiet on the blog front this week, but I've managed to get other things done..I finished this dress on Tuesday morning and wore it for a well-enjoyed day off. I can't recall the pattern reference number (although can add it in if anyone wants) although I know it's an old one - recently, I was at my District Commissioner's house for tea before Guides and she found her old collection of sewing patterns, which she gave to me, and this was one of those.

Although I didn't remember to take a photo of the details, it's a pinafore, buttoning at the back and the straps, which meant I could use some of the lovely vintage buttons in my various jars around the flat.

I decided to go fairly simple with the mustard shoes to counter-balance the pattern clashing of the elephants. This blazer is one of my great loves at the moment; it's becoming a go-to piece and I'm certainly getting my wear from it.

A jolly outfit for a jolly day - after crossing all of the errands off my list in the morning, I went for a swim and then headed up to Liverpool to visit the lovely Alex, and off we went to watch a total classic at FACT, after a yummy halloumi (another great love, it's on the list under the elephant blazer!) sandwich and running into equally lovely Rebecca on our way.
