Oh what joy when summer means,
You have your first outing in white jeans.
Well, they’re chinos not jeans, but that’s just semantics. They’re white. And Summer White, not Winter White. And they’re sparking joy as this was the day I unpacked my summer wardrobe and to be sporting white jeans is the first sign of summer. In Pout World. You can forget your swallows, white jeans truly do mark the coming of summer in my universe.
I realise I’ve unpacked summer a whole month later than these past few years. Now, I’m not hurtling in opining that this is evidence of global cooling, but this summer has been slow to kick off. Just saying.
Maybe you’ve been wearing white jeans for weeks? Maybe you never stopped wearing them? Maybe you NEVER wear them?!
Moving on from jeans v chinos, warming v cooling, this was also the first outing of my slip-ons, so comfy.
I teamed my white column with a chocolate brown and elevated this smart casj look with old gold jewellery.
Job done. Go to pub!
Or rather, beachside restaurant for that is where I took this outfit.
And ate this monster of a fish and chips.
Of course half the fish and most of the chips came home with me .
And next day I made fish cakes* with the leftovers, and they were delicious.
I allowed myself ONE chip. The Photographer had the rest of course. I’m good like that.
*left over cod and some salmon from a few days before
4 small new potatoes, crushed
Chopped onion, basil and chives
Seasoning
Bound together with one egg and left in freezer for half an hour to man up a bit before frying in a mix of olive oil and butter.
You’re welcome!
And an update on where my dressing mojo is at right now.
I’ve resorted to style steals again. But not taking inspo from other blogs, Instagram or Pinterest.
I’m now stealing from myself!
Outfit on the left was something I wore this time last year.
Yup, I’ve got that desperate I’ve been stealing style from myself! It wonder if there’s a word for that …
I leave you with a song which captures the thrill of jeans
A la perchoine,
