What I Wore in July


Hi lovely peeps.
Well that was July gone.  Our beautifully sunny July met all our expectations over here, hope it was good for you too.

So, welcome to August!

I'm knee-deep in She-Shed stuff now.  The construction of the shed itself finished yesterday.  It's now hell for leather for us,  painting the inside and out, then decanting the contents of The Leaning Sheds of  Poutland into the She-Shed, but neatly, stylishly, light-touchedly stored this time round.  A one-ton dumping bag will be near to hand during this stage, there will be much de-cluttering.

The garden team come back mid-August for the next stage.  Yes, this shed thing has become A Thing at Chez Pout - and has sprouted legs in every direction possible!

Which is my excuse for this post intro to this post.  I realised last night, brain fired with virtual garden planning and unable to sleep, that I hadn't posted a What I Wore during July.  Not one.
And if you're like me, then you do quite enjoying seeing what others wear day-to-day.  Not staged and styled outfits, just your common or garden everyday wear.  Besides, I find it's just the discipline I need as it holds me accountable for what I wear, and I need some of that!
So last night I loaded up what's been doing on my back during our glorious July, with the exception of stand-alone outfits I've already posted on (very few during the month, I discovered).  


Here's July's OOTD parade, with very little narrative. 











Yes, I dared to take one of those blogger leg shots, just for a laugh - nice wobbly bits, Pout.  I sent it to my Sibs, for fun you understand, we're not weird!   My bro replied with "Rickets?"  Well, I expect I do look at bit rickety from this angle - ughhhh!!!!


I attempted one of those accessory detail collages too.


Shorts and hats were my July essentials.




I played around a bit with headscarfage.


Old silk harems were rediscovered.






Loving this yellow broderie anglaise (eyelet) top.


This was my most popular Insta pic in July - beats me why!












Sorry for the out of sync pics but hey, I've got a shed to paint so no time to try editing this lot!
But I hope within this combobulation there's maybe some inkling of inspo here for you.

Wishing you a fabulous August - go out and enjoy it!


A la perchoine,
Mary x.

  1. They all look good, very glamorous. Beats my sloppy day to day outfits hands down. BTW I still can't follow you on Instagram. Each time I click on your link or search via IG I get a message saying you don't exist!

    1. Than so much Jay. Now we must remedy this Instagram glitch, for I'm afeared that if I don't exist then just what IS sucking up an hour (hours!) of my time each day?! Do try this link https://www.instagram.com/thepoutingpensioner/
      And let ME know if I exist or not!
      Hugs, x.

    2. Oh dear. I copied and pasted your link but get this message:
      Sorry, this page isn't available.

    3. I’m having problems with Instagram again today, so maybe that’s why the link isn’t working. Maybe tomorrow Insta might be fixed. Sorry on behalf of Insta.x.

    1. Hope the Irish August is treating you well, Vronni. It’s nice to look back on the month in outfits and see how truly good it was. Looking forward to seeing all your maxi outfits when you get back.

  4. A great parade for July! I love seeing what people really wore. I just wish I'd captured all my outfits too. Keep meaning to! Have a great weekend Mary x

    1. Thanks, Gail, the photo parade is a great discipline and I like seeing day to day outfits on others perhaps more than the staged ones, they’re more relevant to how I live. Looking forward to seeing yours!
      Hugs, x.

  5. You have quite a selection of beautiful dresses there! Ans sand on the beach? In the UK? Wow? Happy weekend Mary!

    1. Yes, all our beaches are sandy and the sea is blue/jade. The Sussex beaches can sometimes be disappointing with all that khaki sea and shingle eh.
      Hugs, x.

  6. Enjoyed your outfits. All of your clothes have a nice fit. The only item I didn't care for is the denim jacket, which is on my growing list of things that I am tired of which includes ripped jeans and shirt tucked in front.

    1. Love to hear how your style is evolving, Dawn. I have never got the front tuck and I am not a fan of hugely distressed anything! But I’m still loving my 20 y. o. jean jacket!

  8. Oh my goodness, you have great every day style my friend. I'm afraid if I did that I'd get kicked off the internet - ha! I have two speeds - I am either completely done up or I look as if I have slept in a gutter somewhere. It's quite scary! I need to message you - we will be in London at the end of September!
    xo,

    1. TP and I did chuckle imagining your sleeping in a gutter look!!!
      I need to have your London dates as we have family visiting, so I need to juggle a bit probably.

  10. The patch maxi dress is gorgeous Mary. I like all the outfits but that is my favourite. I like it when I get to publish my daily outfits. I like to mix the brands that I work with and no rules are laid. It sounds like a super busy time for you at the moment xx

    1. Oh Laurie, I dream of retiring ... and I’ve been retired 8 years!!
      Please please please post more month in outfit posts, live ‘em!
      That patchwork dress was a Primark find a few years ago but it’s a bra- challenging for a top heavy lady!
      Hugs,x.
