Hello my friends. We meet again for my third What I Wore Wednesday. Wow, I can do consistent!
This journey started the day The Photographer went into hospital and although he's been at home for a couple of weeks now, I just seem to have got into a nice little habit of daily outfit shots.
The discipline gets me to think about what I wear. Gets me to work my wardrobe. Yes, there will be times when house and garden choose the outfit for me, but that doesn't mean that I have to stay in the worn-out shorts and vest I start the day with eh? And I swear seeing me presentable at some stage in the day in some way aids my patient's recovery!
So let's crack in with another WIW Wednesday, I hope you enjoy my offerings.
M&S linen print trousers, light taupe cami picking up the print background, coral Woolovers beaded cardi. M&S bronze sandals (not seen).
Felt a bit PJ-like!
Tea with friends. Same cardi over white column, red espadrilles (2nd Loved). The cardi felt better being showcased by the column then hooked in by colour with the shoes.
Cooler day so I chose mum jeans, white T and duck egg cashmere cardi, JoNY. Perked up with fave silk scarf of summer. Bronze sandals.
Meeting at solicitor's office, so poshed up jeans with metallic belt, white T, aqua silk/linen Kaliko jacket (part of suit), metallic espadrilles.
Out to dinner. Black jersey dress, Dotty P. Aqua Woolovers beaded cardi. T strap heels. Teal/black necklace from La Duchesse - love it!
Picnic on beach. Pink leoprint jersey dress, black hat from Next, Birkies.
And later, a napkin draped stylishly over knees - NOT!
Posh meal with TP. Next print dress, grey Woolovers cashmere/merino cardi, Adesso heels. Silver strands. Claudia Bradby double grey pearl earrings. Grey leather Wink bracelet.
Waitrose (grocery shopping) done glam!
Black Linen frilled button top (from skirt suit) worn over Next lace cami. Pewter sandals.
Wore dark jeans for first time in about 3 months! A sign that summer is coming to a close 😢.
Did you find any inspo from my week in outfits?
Digging into your wardrobe and trying pieces in a different way can be so satisfying.
That's what I've been doing with that last top - worn as a suit it's just too "posh" for life in retirement. But splitting up top and bottom and working the individual pieces into more casual outfits creates looks that can fit into the life I lead now.
Is that something you fancy giving a try?
Wishing you a fabulous week ahead,
a la perchoine.
These are all lovely looks on you but I am particularly drawn to the aqua cardigan and jacket - very lovely.
ReplyDeleteAw thanks, Christy. Aqua is a lovely summer colour, if you have any I hope you're inspired to wear it whilst summer's still around. Hugs my sweet, x.
DeleteI just love that Coral colour on you Mary. It's made for you. I hope TP is ok? xx
ReplyDeleteAw thanks, Laurie, it's such a pretty colour so I'm blessed that I can wear it. TP is fine, thanks so much for asking. Hope you're well, have a super weekend, x
DeleteLove your shopping outfit, and the aqua jacket. Lise
ReplyDeleteAw thanks, A, the shopping outfit felt cheeky and what's not to love about aqua, eh. Hugs for the weekend, x.
DeleteI just absolutely love your new Wednesday WIW! Your everyday style is fab my friend. My fave is the denim with the jacket but a close second is the last pic with the hint of black lace. Such great style, keep it up, yes, you can do consistent!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
xo,
Kellyann
So pleased you're enjoying WIW because I prefer the posts showing what people wear for everyday because everyday is my jam so I find them helpful.
DeleteI felt like the me I used to be in that black lace outfit!
Thanks for your feedback and encouragement Mrs R, it's much-appreciated, especially when sometimes (often!) I accept I'm a Ludite granny 👵 struggling in a blogworld where only the tech-savvy thrive and survive 😱 . Happy weekend hugs my friend, x.
I really love the black linen top with the jeans. Sexy but so stylish at the same time. Am I right in thinking that you´ve lost quite a bit of weight? I keep thinking that something looks different but now I have got it, I think? Looking fab, PP! Good to hear you like the turquoise and black necklace. It does look lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh Dutchie, that's sub-consciously what I wanted to achieve with that frilly black. I wore it with the skirt at Di's party in 2005, remember? I have lost a couple of kgs since you left, thanks for noticing and 'fab' I like! Oh when I wore your necklace it brought that outfit to life - thank you. Happy weekend hugs mate, x
DeleteI do remember Di´s party but remembering what people wore 13 years ago...haha. Even this here Dutch gal is getting older, you know! Enjoy the weekend too!
DeleteWell of course it was pushing it a bit for you to remember what I wore that night, even if you are still a whippersnapper! I only remember it because I thought it was a good choice for the party, x.
DeleteWhat beautiful outfits, they are beautiful combinations and some of them seem really cool to me. I love your pants with floral print, the denim and light green jacket set, the black shirt with lace details ... and your hair, every day more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTu eres muy bondodoso como siempre, J-M, y tus palabras valen mucho! My hair gets little attention from me so it's good that you notice it. Thank you for your kindness, sigue visitando. Abrazos y gozar el fin de semana, x.
DeleteSuper styles Mary - thanks for joining the #chicandstylish #linkup Jacqui Mummabstylish
ReplyDeleteThanks Jacqui, you are too kind, and thanks for hosting, hugs x.
DeleteYou are so fashionable lady! Love the third and last outfit the best.
ReplyDeleteThank so much, Amy, the last outfit is proving popular and it was popular with me too!
DeleteWishing you a sun-shiny Sundays, x
Lots of great looks here, Mary! You look beautiful in so many colors. I have to say though, my favorite look is the black and denim. Va-Va-Voom. You still got it lady!!! XO
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Lisa, it's uplifting celebrating colour in summer. You know, the black/denim is my fave too, it feels like the old me but done 68y.o.-style. So when I had to make a quick decision on WTW when I came off the beach on Monday, it was easy-peasey, I wore this outfit again with a little tweaked-up accessorising! Thanks hugely for the "still got it", my spirit has soared!
DeleteHave a thrilling Thursday, x.
