Hello my lovelies!
Well, if the title is a question, then the answer is definitely not a lot, as you will see my paultry offerings today.
Yep, Pout here with a roundup of April’s meagre offerings.
I’m just an everyday old lady wearing everyday clothes. As is proved perfectly in this post! For there is not a lot to show, and what outfits I did manage to put together are definitely not insta worthy, but ok for this chummy blog!
But that’s life eh. The month had been spent working inside and outside, planning, meetings, walking, meeting up for very casual dates … you get my drift, not many outfits opportunities there!
In fact I wore more outfits on this try-on day than I did the whole month of April! That’s proof that it was a verrrrry relaxed month.
Sage, striped, long sleeve tee, gilet, and what you can’t see is a pair of chinos and a pair of sketchers. Job done, an everyday for a retired lady, IMHO.
Navy jumper worn over striped shirt and lightweight jeans. White gilet for out and about.
In the pic you can see some cream loafers, they’re over 20 years old so pretty tatty of course. I spruced them up with a cream, which has quite frankly rejuvenated them ready for yet another summer.
Here’s the link , find this leather rejuvenating cream HERE.
Embarrassingly, I had to steal this outfit from Pinterest. Who would believe that I need to have inspo to throw this lot together!
Jeans, striped tee and white gilet. White loafers, which are around 15 years old and apparently back on trend, like I care!
Navy jumper, chinos and a fave summer scarf. Loafers again.
Wearing “colourful” at a funeral always gets me challenged to the max. Black is black. You know where you stand with black.
I thought duck egg blue was the funeral Goldilocks, pitched just right, colourful yet respectful for the nicely pitched funeral that it was.
The cashmere cardi is Jones of New York, bought in Arizona 2009 for USD17!
Top tip: a desert region is a good place to pick up woolly bargains!
The blouse adds more colour and the cut skims the tum area.
I’ve hangered this combo for a good-to repeat performance as it felt fresh and spring like.
And that, dear readers, was it for April. I wore few outfits and little make up, but fortunately the house and garden have benefitted from that!

Hi Mary, had a chuckle when reading this post, thanks for cheering me up with your dry humour. That cream gilet looks very useful.
ReplyDeleteI've also been to a funeral this past week, wore black so didn't have to worry.
Enjoy your weekend Mary. Trish x
Oh Trish I’m so glad I made you chuckle. I’ll have to read through to find the chuckly bits. My posts of yore always make me chuckle when I happen to read them through, they were much funnier bitd!
DeleteEnjoy your bank hol wknd, Mary x.
Likewise, I enjoy your sense of humour. However, I think you do yourself a disservice as your outfits are great, practical, real etc. The outfit with sage striped top and the gilet looks wonderful on you as does the 'funeral' outfit. Very springy.
ReplyDeleteAwww bless you Christy 🙏. I’m taking mental notes here, those lighter colours definitely are what to aim for spring.
