Brighton + Shopping = Amazing!
Brighton is always a great day out…especially if the weather
is nice! Walking round the quirky little lanes is a pleasure in the sunshine
& it puts you in the best mood to search out the bargains! And today I am
wearing my bargain buy from this week…the transitional dress. With subtle
multi-coloured flecks running through the nearly black weave, I threw on this oversized
dress & pulled it together with my Dad’s old leather belt! Leather is
always best when it is worn in, so ta Dad, all I had to do was make a few
smaller belt holes to cinch in the waist!
Venturing into the new-town shops I browsed H&M convinced
that I wouldn’t find a thing…or wouldn’t give in to buying it rather! But then
I started picking up garments to try on…for fun. Well that was a mistake! But
the best mistake…
I was drawn to the jacket in the two images to the left due to its 'inverted' style collar, which was a nice twist on the generic masculine feature. However the tops were purely to try on the bottom-halves with!
I think I fell a little bit in love with these burgundy 100% silk [yes!] tailored trousers [center] as soon as I saw them...and even more when I tried them on! They fit loosely yet perfectly around all the right areas & make me feel like i'm wearing nothing...well, not much!
The skirt on the right had a similar effect, however it unfortunately didn't live up to my expectations. It's knitted structure ensured a great fit around the body and I loved how the shape graduated up & the back...and even possibly at the front as one could wear it both ways! However, knitted skirts & summer simply just don't mix well for me...but I will be attempting to make one as a wonderful transitional piece as soon as autumn pops its head around that golden corner...
Now to literally meet my wardrobe...
Being at home for a few days has many pluses. But is finding this in your wardrobe one?! You decide...
...of course it is! Hello Georgie!
